VACANCIES AND TRANSFERS Clause Samples
The "Vacancies and Transfers" clause outlines the procedures and rules governing how job openings within an organization are filled and how current employees may be moved or transferred to different positions. Typically, this clause specifies the process for advertising vacancies, eligibility criteria for applicants, and the order of consideration, such as giving priority to internal candidates before seeking external applicants. It may also detail how employees can request transfers and under what circumstances management can initiate a transfer. The core function of this clause is to ensure a fair, transparent, and orderly process for staffing changes, thereby promoting internal mobility and minimizing disputes over job assignments.
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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) worki...
VACANCIES AND TRANSFERS. A. A vacancy is defined as a position currently unoccupied that has not been assigned and cannot be filled by a teacher returning from leave or a laid-off tenured teacher because they lack certification and qualification. When vacancies or new positions occur during the regular school year, the superintendent shall make a general announcement of the vacancy throughout the school system by posting position qualifications in all buildings. Such vacancy shall have been posted in a designated area within all buildings for a minimum of five (5) school days prior to filling the position. Between the end of the school year and August 15th of the next school term the Superintendent shall notify all teachers certified for the position by email of all vacancies and post in Administration Building. Such vacancy notices shall have been emailed two weeks prior to the filling of said position.
B. The Board recognizes that it is desirable in making assignments to consider the interests and aspirations of its teachers. Requests by a teacher for transfer to a different class, building, or position shall be made in writing, one copy of which shall be filed with the principal(s), the Superintendent, and one copy shall be filed with the Association. The application shall set forth the school, grade or position sought. Such requests shall be renewed once each year to assure active consideration by the Board.
C. An involuntary transfer will be made only in case of emergency or to prevent undue disruption of the instructional program. The Superintendent and/or principal shall notify the affected teacher in writing and the Association in writing of the reasons for such transfer. Such notification shall take place at least ten (10) school days prior to the scheduled transfer. If the teacher objects to such transfer for the reasons given, the dispute may be resolved through the professional grievance procedure. An involuntary transferred teacher shall have the right to: (1) return to his/her former grade or position when a vacancy occurs in that position; (2) request a transfer at the time of the involuntary transfer. Such transfer request shall indicate the position desired, i.e. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ sixth grade, high school math. No more than three positions may be listed. When a vacancy occurs in the position indicated for which he/she is certified the requested shall be honored. Once a teacher exercises the preceding right or refuses either option, he/she shall no longer be considered an inv...
VACANCIES AND TRANSFERS. A. Whenever any vacancy in a professional position in the bargaining unit shall occur, the District will give written notice of the vacancy to the Association, including a general statement regarding the required qualifications for the position.
1. Any teacher may apply for such vacancy. In filling such vacancy, the District agrees to give due weight to the professional certification, professional experiences, whether the individual is “highly qualified” as described in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and related background of all applicants and the length of time each has been in the Midland school system. Within a reasonable time after the notification of a vacancy, all applicants will be informed that the position has been filled, or the notification withdrawn.
2. A vacant position will not be filled, except on a temporary basis, within thirteen (13) calendar days from the date of notification to the Association.
3. When a vacancy occurs within the last thirteen (13) calendar days prior to the orientation day of a new school year, although the Association will be notified of this vacancy, the first priority must go to filling the position for the new school year. Therefore, the time limits imposed on the District in Article XVII, section, A.2. will not be applicable for this two-week period.
4. When a vacancy is filled in the period from thirteen (13) days prior to the orientation day of the new school year through November 1, it will be filled by hiring a teacher who will have all rights accorded all members of the bargaining unit except that the teacher may be reassigned at the beginning of the succeeding school year, solely at the discretion of the District, to any comparable position for which the teacher is certified. The language in Article XVII, 4. shall not apply when the vacancy occurs as the result of a retirement. The District may elect to fill a teaching vacancy by hiring a teacher at any point during the year.
5. When a vacancy occurs during a school year after November 1, the position may be filled on a temporary basis.
B. Although the District and the Association recognize that frequent transfers of teachers from one school administrative unit to another are disruptive of the educational process and interfere with optimum teacher performance, they also recognize that some transfers will be necessary for administrative purposes and to ensure a fair distribution of experienced and qualified teachers through the system. Therefore,...
