SENIORITY A. A newly hired Employee shall be on a probationary status for sixty (60) work days beginning with the Employee's first paid day. If at any time prior to the completion of the sixty (60) work day probationary period, the Employee's work performance is unsatisfactory, she/he may be dismissed by the Employer and shall not have the right to the grievance procedure or arbitration. Probationary Employees who are absent during the first (60) work days shall remain on probation until he/she completes sixty (60) actual work days. All newly hired Employees, except in Division IV, shall be placed on the start step of the appropriate salary schedule. In no event except in Division IV, shall a newly hired Employee begin on a higher step than start on the appropriate salary schedule. Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period, the Employee's seniority date shall be retroactive to the date the Employee completed, signed and submitted the MEA membership forms. An Employee will lose or have his/her seniority date adjusted for the following reasons: 1. He/she resigns. 2. He/she is discharged for just cause and not reinstated through the grievance procedure. 3. He/she retires. 4. He/she transfers to another Division. Seniority will again be adjusted if an Employee transfers out or returns to their original Division at the superintendent’s discretion. B. An agreed to seniority list shall be maintained by the Human Resources Dept. on the District Intranet. Such list shall contain the date of hire, seniority date and classification seniority date, and any adjustments made. C. There shall be separate seniority rosters for each Division (See Article 2‐A) (Recognition/Divisions) of Employees which shall be maintained by the District, and which shall not be interchangeable. D. Seniority shall be defined as continuous service within a Division (See Article 2‐A) from the first paid day as a Bargaining Unit Employee within the Brighton Area Schools. E. In the event two or more bargaining unit members have the same seniority date, the last four (4) digits of their social security numbers, beginning with the highest number first, shall determine their ranking on the seniority list.
Credit for Experience 33.01 Credit for nursing experience will be credited on the following basis: (a) The Employer will credit a newly hired regular full-time nurse with one (1) annual service increment for each completed year of related experience up to the after eight (8) years step of the salary grid and credit a regular part-time nurse, up to the after twelve thousand (12,000) hours step, based on substantiated hours worked. (b) If there has been a break in excess of two years in the nurses’ full-time or part-time employment, then the number of increments to be provided shall be at the discretion of the Employer. 33.02 In order to receive credit for experience it is the nurse’s responsibility to provide the Employer with verification satisfactory to the Employer, of previous related experience during her probationary period. Should a nurse fail to provide such satisfactory verification during her probation she shall forfeit the provisions of this Article. 33.03 Once established consistent with the above provisions, credit for recent related experience will be retroactive to the new nurses date of hire. 33.04 Nurses on staff prior to the signing of this agreement, will be credited with experience as set out under this Article, effective the first full pay period following the date the Employer has confirmed entitlement to such increment, subject to 33.02 above.
Super Seniority For purposes of layoff and recall only, the President shall head the seniority list, provided however, that such officer must have the necessary skill and experience to perform the required work. The Sheriff agrees that this section shall not be applied in an arbitrary manner.
