Common use of Transfers Initiated By the Employee Clause in Contracts

Transfers Initiated By the Employee. In addition to the provisions of Section 17.02 of this Agreement, bargaining unit employees who are assigned to fire suppression units and who have more than two (2) years of sworn Department seniority, may transfer to another vacant fire suppression assignment within their job classification, subject to the following conditions: a. A transfer on the same shift, the vacation drawn will remain the same. b. A transfer to another shift will result in all the vacation not already taken being reassigned by the administration based upon Department needs and, to the extent possible, the desire of the employee. c. Transfers to assignments requiring specific qualifications (i.e. Haz Mat) will be done on the basis of qualifications. The right to transfer is contingent upon the bargaining unit employee notifying the Department in writing of their desire to be transferred to the vacant assignment within the time specified in paragraph A, above. If more than one employee has requested a transfer to a vacant assignment, the employee with the most classification seniority shall be entitled to the assignment. A transfer request shall expire concurrently with the expiration of the right to submit a transfer request under each posting and, therefore, shall not carry over from one posting period to the next. Such transfers shall be made effective on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the expiration of the posting period or as soon thereafter as possible and practical. The provisions of this Section shall not be observed with respect to assignment vacancies occurring during the month of December in any calendar year or where the Department elects to eliminate the vacant assignment.
