Temporary Vacancies 14.12.1 Surplus employees shall be eligible for assignment into temporary assignments in their own Ministry that are posted for recruitment in accordance with Article 7 in the last two (2) months of their notice provided that: (a) The employee applies for and indicates on his or her application for the vacancy that they have received notice of layoff and are eligible for a temporary assignment; and (b) He or she is qualified for the position. Such assignments are meant to provide additional employment opportunities for surplus employees prior to lay-off. Where more than one surplus employee matches the temporary assignment, the employee with greater seniority shall be offered the temporary assignment. It is understood that such assignment of a surplus employee to a temporary vacancy has priority over Article 8.11 (Temporary Assignments). 14.12.2 A surplus employee shall retain his / her status in the regular service and current salary entitlements while placed in a temporary assignment.

At the end of the temporary assignment or secondment, the balance of the notice period, as well as all redeployment activities, shall resume.
