– VACANCIES AND POSTED JOBS. A. When a vacancy in a classification is posted at a Maintenance Base the Maintenance Manager or his designee will pull the Preference Bid Sheets which indicate the Employees’ choices for shift and days off. The most senior Employee in the classification at the Maintenance Base who selected the shift and days off of the vacant position will be awarded the position. The most senior Employee’s position that was vacated will then be awarded to the most senior Employee with a Preference Bid Sheet on file for that shift and days off. The Bid process will then stop, and the next opening will be filled by a transfer in, new hire or by temporary assignment. Each Employee must complete his shift/days off Preference Bid Sheet and provide a copy to his Supervisor. An Employee may designate up to three (3) choices of shift(s)/days off on their Preference Bid Sheet. The Preference Bid Sheets must be signed and dated by both the Employee and the Supervisor. An Employee may change and resubmit his Preference Bid Sheet at any time prior to a vacancy being posted. (Example: If a vacancy is posted on Tuesday, the cut-off date for submitting a Preference Bid Sheet would be the previous day which would be Monday.) As a part of the process of awarding the vacancy, all three (3) choices contained on the most senior Employee’s Preference Bid Sheet must not match the vacancy in order to move to the next Employee. Once the vacancy has been filled, Employees may submit a new Preference Bid Sheet.
B. If after the process described in paragraph A has been completed and any vacancy has not been filled, and the Company wishes to fill the vacancy, notice of such vacancy shall be posted on the Company’s bulletin board at all Maintenance Bases for a period of seven (7) calendar days. Such posting will specify the classification, minimum qualifications, Maintenance Base, shift, hours of service, shop, (“shop” is defined as the area of primary job duties) days off and the closing date. An Employee desiring to be considered for the job shall submit a bid during the seven (7) day period. Bids shall be submitted to the Human Resources Department on a standard Company form and must be dated and postmarked or received prior to the closing date of the posted vacancy.
C. In filling a posted job(s) bids shall be awarded in the order of the following priorities, except for shift, work schedules or days off bidding.
