Hospital Central Agreement March The job posting provisions take precedence over any recall rights that employees may have under this Agreement, unless provided herein. Where a full-time employee on layoff is the successful candidate for a vacant part-time position, she or he shall retain recall rights to her or his former position in the full-time bargaining unit for a period of six (6) months from the date of her or his layoff. This shall also apply to a part-time employee on layoff who is the successful candidate for a vacant full-time position. In these circumstances, the job posting provisions will not apply. A nurse may make a written request for transfer by advising the Hospital and filing a Request for Transfer form indicating her or his name, qualifications, experience, present area of assignment, seniority and requested area of assignment. A Request for Transfer shall become active as of the date it is received by the Hospital and shall remain so until December following. Such requests will be considered as applications for posted vacancies and subsequent vacancies created by the filling of a posted vacancy. A list of vacancies filled in the preceding month under Articles (a) and and the names of the successful applicants, will be posted, with a copy provided to the Association. The Association will also be advised of any posted positions that have been rescinded by the Hospital in the preceding month. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified. The local parties will ensure that there is a means of notifying the unsuccessful applicants in a timely manner. At the request of the nurse, the Hospital will discuss with unsuccessful applicants ways in which they can improve their qualifications for future Nurses shall be selected for positions under either (a) or on the basis of their skill, ability, experience and qualifications. Where these factors are relatively equal amongst the nurses considered, seniority shall govern providing the successful applicant, if any, is qualified to the available work within an appropriate familiarization period. Where seniority governs, the most senior applicant, regardless of her or his bargaining unit, will be selected. Where the applicant has been selected in accordance with this Article and it is subsequently determined that she or he cannot satisfactorily perform the job to which she or he was promoted or transferred, the Hospital will attempt, during the first sixty (60) tours (450 hours for nurses whose regular hours of work are other than the standard work day) worked from the date on which the nurse was first assigned to the vacancy, to return the nurse to her or his former job, and the filling of the subsequent vacancies will likewise be reversed. Notwithstanding the level Vacancies which are not expected to exceed sixty (60) calendar days and vacancies caused due to illness, accident, leaves of absence (including pregnancy and parental) may be filled at the discretion of the Hospital. In filling such vacancies consideration shall be given to regular part-time nurses in the bargaining unit on the basis of seniority who are qualified to perform the work in question. If the temporary vacancy is not filled by a regular part-time nurse, consideration will be given to casual part-time nurses in the bargaining unit on the basis of seniority who are qualified to perform the work in question, prior to utilizing non-bargaining unit nurses supplied by an agency or registry. It is understood, however, that where such vacancies occur on short notice, failure to offer part-time nurses such work shall not result in any claim for pay for time not worked while proper arrangements are made to fill the vacancy. Where part-time nurses fill temporary full-time vacancies, such nurses shall be considered regular part- time and shall be covered by the terms of the part-time collective agreement. Upon completion of the temporary vacancy, such nurse shall be reinstated to her or his former position unless the position has been discontinued, in which case the nurse shall be given a comparable job. Where the Local parties agree, full-time nurses may be considered for temporary full-time vacancies on the same basis as regular part-time nurses.
