Temporary Vacancies The Company and the Union recognize that temporary employees may be required to temporarily provide additional manpower due to vacation, weekly indemnity, excess of work, etc. All temporary employees performing bargaining unit work are members of the bargaining unit and as such all terms and conditions of the collective agreement apply except as herein provided. Individuals may be hired to fill temporary vacancies. Temporary vacancies and employees shall last a maximum of eight (8) calendar weeks. This does not prevent the Company and the Union from mutually agreeing to extend the eight (8) week limitation on an individual basis. However, unless there is written agreement to the contrary, the eight (8) calendar week limitation shall be respected. Should the position be made permanent, the job will be posted as per 9.07(e). Any skills or experience gained by the temporary employee while in the temporary job, shall not be used to determine him more suitable for the position than the employee with seniority who applies. Prior to any layoff all temporary employees will be terminated. Overtime will only be offered to temporary employees after all qualified senior and probationary employees within the classification concerned have refused. Public holidays will be paid to the temporary employees as per the Employment Standards Act Part X (10). Temporary employees will be hired for the applicable classification and wage rate as per Appendix A of the Collective Agreement. Should a temporary employee apply for a job posting and be successful as per Article 9.07 of the Collective Agreement the temporary employee shall then become a probationary employee. The seniority date of a temporary employee who is awarded a full-time position will equal the date the full-time position is awarded. No person, who is or has been employed by the Company outside of the bargaining unit, shall be eligible to work as a temporary employee within the bargaining unit, unless his record of employment with the Company has been severed in excess of one week.
Temporary Vacancy A vacancy in a position caused by the regularly assigned occupant being absent from duty (including on vacation but excluding pre-retirement vacation) or temporarily assigned to other duties.
Filling of Positions The parties agree that all appointments to vacancies covered by this Agreement shall be filled by the Employer with the procedure outlined in this Article. The parties recognize that the Employer has the exclusive authority to determine if and when vacancies are to be filled and the qualifications required of those positions.
Preparatory Contract Negotiations Meetings Where operational requirements permit, the Employer will grant leave without pay to an employee to attend preparatory contract negotiations meetings.
Posting and Filling of Vacancies 8.1(1) When a permanent vacancy occurs within a classification covered by this agreement, which the Employer intends to fill, after the Employer applies the internal job transfer bidding procedure and the ultimate vacancy is thereby identified, such vacancy shall be advertised for ten (10) calendar days provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Employer from advertising such vacancy throughout its system or outside during the ten (10) day period. Probationary employees may, at the sole discretion of the Employer, be considered for another position outside their classification after the signing date of this agreement. The Company reserves the sole and absolute right to carry out any applicable interviewing or testing that is necessary in its opinion. All test processes will be approved by qualified Human Resources staff. An employee will only be allowed to take one test failure for each different job classification bid every four (4) months. Current employees applying for positions which involve increased driving responsibilities must meet corporate driving standards and provide with application a current driving abstract. The opinion of the Employer shall not be exercised in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner.
8.1(2) Internal Job Transfer Bidding Procedure
8.1(3) This internal job transfer bidding procedure is within a given classification as follows:
8.1(4) All employees within each classification, when requested, must submit a “standing application” to transfer to any existing alternate home base or location, shift, shift hours, days off (in order of preference), to transfer from part-time to full-time status, or to indicate that they wish no change, whichever is applicable to each individual within their current classification.
8.1(5) A copy of such standing application submitted will be furnished to the employee. Since a standing application will remain valid indefinitely until it results in action or is replaced by the employee, it is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that a standing application always reflects the employee’s current preferences.
8.1(6) (i) When a permanent classification position vacancy is to be filled, all standing applications will immediately be reviewed with the intention of awarding transfers (including any “resultant” transfers) in order of classification seniority in the following sequence, where applicable:
(a) transfer of a full-time employee from one home base or location to another or as referred to above;
(b) transfer of an employee from part-time to full- time status;
(c) transfer of part-time employees from one home base or location to another or as referred to above; and
(d) transfer of full-time employees to part-time.
Contract Negotiations Meetings Where operational requirements permit, the Employer will grant leave without pay to an employee for the purpose of attending contract negotiations meetings on behalf of the Institute.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
Filling of Vacancies Section 1. The Agency desires to fill bargaining unit vacancies with the best suited applicants available. Within that context, the Agency intends to insure that protected classes are given an opportunity to compete for all openings within the bargaining unit. The Agency will determine the manner and method of selection and determine the individual to fill a vacancy.
Section 2. The Agency will post for a minimum of five (5) consecutive days the job vacancy that occurs in the bargaining unit which the Agency intends to fill, setting forth the job title, duties, qualifications and salary range. All bargaining unit employees qualified by training and experience will have the right to apply for the position.
Section 3. If the position is offered for promotion or transfer, and two (2) or more employees possess equal qualifications and are the highest qualified candidates for the position, the Agency will give preference to an employee's length of service with the Agency. A candidate not selected may request the hiring supervisor to provide feedback regarding what the candidate could do to improve his/her potential for selection for future vacancies.
Section 4. When the Agency chooses to fill a vacancy by lateral transfer, it shall not unilaterally transfer an employee on an arbitrary basis. If the Agency considers voluntary transfer requests, the employee who is determined by the Agency to be the best qualified to meet the knowledge, skills and abilities for the vacant position will be appointed. If two (2) or more employees wishing to laterally transfer have demonstrated equal knowledge, skills and abilities for the position, the most senior will be appointed.
Section 5. A person accepting a Limited Duration (LD) appointment shall be notified and acknowledge in writing that s/he accepts the conditions of the appointment, which shall include the following:

An Agency employee appointed from a permanent position with regular status in the classified State service immediately prior to the LD appointment shall be reinstated to his/her former permanent regular status classification in the Agency when the LD appointment is terminated. The reinstatement right shall be on the same basis as the former regular status position, for example, if the employee was a part-time or job share, the reinstatement is on a part-time or job share basis. If the employee is appointed to a subsequent LD appointment(s) in the Agency without a break in employment prior to reinstatement to his/her former permanent regular status classification, the employee shall retain his/her right to reinstatement. If a position is not available for reinstatement, then the employee is entitled to layoff rights. Reinstatement rights provided herein shall not apply if charges are filed and he/she is discharged as provided in Article 11 (Discipline and Discharge).
e. The LD appointee in all other respects has all rights and privileges of other classified employees including but not limited to wages, benefits and Union representation under this Agreement.
Section 6. For recruitments where the veteran has been determined to be otherwise qualified and the selection process results in a quantified score, Senate Xxxx 822, Section 2 (1) (a) and (b) shall apply. If this process results in two or more candidates deemed equal and the Employer elects to appoint one of the candidates, the veteran shall be appointed, the seniority provisions of the respective collective bargaining agreements notwithstanding. For recruitments where the decision to hire or promote rests with a process that does not result in a score, the employer must give the veteran special consideration in such process per SB 822, Section 2 (1) (c). The provisions of Senate Xxxx 822 do not apply to grievance settlements, court mandates, Agency recall from layoff and injured worker returns to employment.
