SENIORITY PRIVILEGES. Seniority, as defined in the Police Department Procedures Manual (including seniority for unit employees hired from the Lateral Hire Incentive Program as set forth in this MOU), will serve as the basis for determining vacations, shift assignments, and days off.
SENIORITY PRIVILEGES. Service Supervisor: In making job assignments and assigning vacations, consideration with respect to the Service Supervisor and any new classes of similar and/or equivalent level will be given to an employee's seniority within their classification, provided that consideration may also be given to necessary training, replacement, break-in time, and job qualifications. Supervisors shall have consecutive days off whenever possible, except those who serve on the Supervisor Extra Board.
SENIORITY PRIVILEGES. Section 1. Providing operational needs have been met and recognizing that the principle of merit will be taken into consideration, seniority in rank will be given preference with respect to days off and vacation time.
Section 2. Employees holding a supervisory rank shall have their seniority based on their date of promotion. Employees promoted on the same date shall have their seniority based on their relative standing on the promotional register from which they were promoted.
Section 3. Seniority shall accumulate for all purposes during paid absences because of illness, injury, vacation, military leave or other authorized leave.
Section 4. In the event of a vacancy in any unit (non-promotional vacancy), seniority will be considered. In addition, when it is determined that a non-promotional vacancy exists, the City shall make all reasonable efforts not to effectuate the filling of any such vacancy during the pendency of a regularly scheduled shift change. The City further agrees to announce all non- promotional vacancies in order to invite anyone interested in making application for the position, the right to do so. The announcement shall be posted, absent a documented emergency, for at least ten (10) working days, excluding vacancies for positions in the Office of the Police Chief. When all other factors are equal, seniority will prevail. Employees have the right to an interview with the unit commander to be informed of the reasons they were not selected.
Section 5. Shift bid will occur twice per year, with the work week beginning on the third Sunday in January and July.
SENIORITY PRIVILEGES. After completion of the applicable probationary period with the company, each employee shall have seniority in the occupational classification in which the employee is then working. When thus established, such seniority shall equal the employee's total continuous service credit with the Company. After having established seniority, the employee, if transferred to a different occupational classification, shall retain seniority in the occupational classification from which the employee was transferred. After the employee has worked in such different occupational classification for a period of thirty (30) days in labor Grade 7 or below or sixty (60) days in Labor Grade 8 or above, the employee's seniority therein shall equal the employee's total continuous service credit with the Company, and the employee shall continue to accumulate seniority in the occupational classification in which the employee is then working and in all other occupational classifications in which the employee has previously established seniority. An employee who is transferred to a different classification due to layoff shall immediately have all seniority rights in that classification equal to the employee's total continuous service credit and shall continue to accumulate seniority in the classification from which the employee was laid off and all other classifications in which the employee has established seniority. When two or more employees otherwise would have identical seniority within a classification, seniority rank will be determined by alphabetical order of last names, a name commencing with "A" being the more senior. Once established in this manner seniority rank shall not be altered by subsequent name changes. This procedure shall apply in all determinations of seniority. If, at the time of layoff or recall, an employee refused to take a job in a lower labor grade than that of the occupation from which the employee was laid off, the employee shall retain, but shall not accumulate, established seniority, and shall be considered for recall only in an occupation within the same labor grade as that of the occupation from which the employee was laid off.
SENIORITY PRIVILEGES. After completion of the probationary period, each employee shall have seniority in the occupational classification in which he/she is then working and not otherwise. When thus established, such seniority will equal the employee's total continuous service credit with the Company. After having thus established seniority, an employee who is transferred to a different occupational classification shall retain his/her seniority in the former occupational classification from which he/she was transferred until he/she has worked in the latter occupational classification for a period of thirty (30) days, after which such employee shall have seniority only in the latter occupational classification. An employee who is subject to layoff in the current occupational classification shall exercise seniority in an occupational classification in which seniority had been previously established by displacing the least senior employee. An employee shall exercise the seniority in the reverse order by which seniority was established. Employees with more than twenty (20) years seniority will be retained on the payroll, provided they have the skill and ability to do the work, in preference to employees with ten (10) years or less of seniority; and employees with more than fifteen (15) years seniority will be retained on the payroll provided they have the skill and ability to do the work, in preference to employees with eight (8) years or less of seniority; and employees with more than ten (10) years seniority will be retained on the payroll, provided they have the skill and ability to do the work, in preference to employees with five (5) years or less of seniority, and employees with more than five (5) years seniority will be retained on the payroll, provided they have the skill and ability to do the work, in preference to employees with two (2) years or less of seniority.
SENIORITY PRIVILEGES for Employees who are Transferred out of the Bargaining Unit. When an employee has established seniority privileges within the bargaining unit, and is or has been transferred to a position not included in the bargaining unit and such employee is thereafter again employed within the bargaining unit within twelve (12) months, such employee is thereby deemed to have retained previously acquired seniority privileges within the bargaining unit, and to have accumulated such seniority privileges during the time in which the employee was employed in a position not covered by the bargaining unit.
