Transfers and Vacancies A. Transfers
PROMOTIONS AND VACANCIES 3.1 The Employer will determine when a position will be filled, the type of appointment to be used when filling the position, and the skills and abilities necessary to perform the duties of the specific position within a job classification that is being filled. Only those candidates who have the position-specific skills and abilities required to perform the duties of the vacant position will be referred for further consideration by the employing agency.
VACANCIES AND TRANSFERS A vacancy shall be defined, for purposes of this Agreement, as a position previously held by a bargaining unit member that needs to be filled, or a newly created PSS position. When all necessary parties agree, vacancies can be filled by organizational advancement or transfer from within the hiring department and shall not require posting. All vacancies will be posted for a minimum of seven (7) working days unless filled by transfer, reassignment, or recall of a laid off staff member. Notice of vacancies will be given to the Alliance President and Chief Alliance Xxxxxxx at the time they are posted on the University's electronic Notices GVSU Business board, and will be simultaneously posted at the University’s electronic employment website. A vacancy will not be filled until after the posting period has expired. Job postings shall include the classification, department, location(s), work schedule and the position description. The search committee will include a PSS member. Typically, vacancies will be posted as an open search available for both internal and external applicants. A job posting limited to internal applicants may occur upon approval. In each instance, all qualified internal applicants will receive an interview. The search committee must present strong justification for not selecting an internal applicant who meets the minimum qualifications of the position. When two applicants are equally qualified for the vacant position, based on current position description and satisfactory work and attendance, the more senior qualified staff member will receive the assignment. At the time of job offer, the University shall notify the selected staff member of any known or impending changes in the position. The Human Resources Office, or their designee, will provide internal applicants not selected for the position with rationale for the decision. Candidates who were interviewed but not selected may contact Human Resources to schedule a meeting with the Search Committee Chairperson, a Human Resource representative, and an Alliance Representative to discuss the reason for non-selection. The Alliance must notify the employer within three (3) working days that the meeting has been the step 1 meeting of the grievance process. If a meeting is requested or a grievance is filed, the position cannot be filled until this process is completed. An internal staff member selected for the position will be required to establish that they can do the job within eight (8) working days. Failure to qualify shall result in returning the selected staff member to their former position and is not subject to the grievance procedure. The staff member shall also have the option to elect to return to their former position within eight (8) working days. When making departmental changes, transfer shall be with the consent of the staff member whenever possible but when there is no reasonable alternative, it may be involuntary. When involuntary transfer is required, the least senior qualified staff member shall be transferred to a similar position (e.g., classification, full or part-time) or be given the option of electing an unpaid leave of absence with eligibility only for the next vacancy in their classification, if qualified. That person shall be disqualified from consideration when the position from which they were transferred is posted. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to prevent the University from making necessary changes in positions, eliminating positions or creating new positions.
Transfer and Reassignment An academic staff member may, by agreement between the member and the University, be assigned to a new academic unit (Article 13.9) within the member's field of competence, or to a different geographic location, with no reduction in rank, salary, rights, seniority, or benefits. If the University no longer requires performance of the work associated with the member’s duties outlined in Article 16, the University may temporarily assign other duties to the member. These duties shall be within the member’s competence and shall lead to no reduction in rank, salary, rights, seniority, or benefits for the member. Offers to transfer, whether made by the University or the academic staff member, shall not be refused unreasonably. The Faculty Association shall be present at all ensuing discussions between the University and the member relating to terms and conditions of the transfer. Any final agreement shall be placed in writing and provided to the member, with a copy to the Faculty Association, before the transfer or reassignment becomes effective.
TRANSFER AND SUB-CONTRACTING 31.1 This Framework Agreement is personal to the Supplier and the Supplier shall not assign, novate or otherwise dispose of or create any trust in relation to any or all rights and obligations under this Framework Agreement or any part thereof without the Approval.
Transfers and Reassignments Definitions "Headquarters" means a locality and its contiguous territory in and from which an employee normally works as provided in Attachment B of this Agreement.
JOB VACANCIES A vacancy shall be defined as a newly created position, a present position that is not filled, or any position anticipated to be open in the near future for any reason such as, but not limited to, retirement, resignation, etc., if the Employer intends to fill the position. S-14-2 Job vacancies shall be announced on the Human Resources website (xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xxx). Notice of the change will be sent electronically to the Association President.

Employees shall indicate their desire for consideration via electronic bid format using PeopleAdmin or such similar application as the University may adopt. PeopleAdmin will generate an electronic confirmation number for each application an employee submits. This confirmation number will serve as evidence the application was submitted. The University will provide the use of computer kiosks and assistance if needed to submit an application. Any assistance required for submitting or amending application materials will be available during normal business hours of the bidding period. The employee is responsible for periodic review and update of his/her application material. S-14-4 The Employer shall determine at the earliest possible time whether a vacant position will be filled. If a position is officially eliminated, the Employer will notify the Association within five (5) working days of the decision. The Association may request a Special Conference to discuss this matter. S-14-5 Once a position has been posted with an established application deadline date, the position will be filled at the earliest possible time. The Employer shall notify the Association of situations where unforeseen circumstances may impede the normal selection process. S-14-6 Employees who have supervised students or temporary employees should so note on their application material so that it may be taken into consideration in the screening process. S-14-7 The Employer shall provide to the Association a log listing the ST employees who applied for each vacancy, and the name of the person hired for the position. S-14-8 It is understood that employees, with their supervisor's permission, may be given release time for the purpose of bidding on positions available at the University. Employees may also be given, with their supervisor's permission, release time to interview for the positions. It is understood that supervisors shall be reasonable in granting such requests. S-14-9 In the event of a job opening where shift work is a factor, all employees in the same classification shall have the right to apply for a transfer to the shift in question with the employee having the most seniority in that classification being granted the transfer upon approval of the appropriate administrator. If the transfer is not granted, reasons for the denial shall be provided to the Association and the employee.
