It is understood and agreed that there shall be no "standing" notice and that a fresh notice must be given in advance of each leave granted. 20.02 12.02 In filling job vacancies, the Employer Company shall be governed by the following factors: : (i) The seniority of the employees involved; and (ii) The qualifications, experience, skill and ability to do the job. Where two (2) or more employees’ exhibit factors that in (ii) are relatively equal, then seniority factor (i) shall governgovern Company. Until such time as an appointment is made by the EmployerCompany, the vacancy shall be temporarily filled at the EmployerCompany’s discretion, and no grievance may be filed concerning such temporary arrangements, until after a selection is made. The Employer Company need not consider any employee who has not made a formal written application. The Employer Company agrees to use its best efforts to make an appointment within fourteen (14) calendar days of the end of the posting period, and if a longer period of time is required, the Employer Company shall advise the Union of the extended period required, and the reason for the same. 20.03 12.03 Ability to do the job, being qualified or the like, means that the employee has the skill and ability to perform the requirements of the job in accordance with the EmployerCompany's quality standards so that the person performs such after being given general information concerning it. In other words, the performance of work does not require a trial period or a training period but does permit a 480 hour two (2) week familiarization period. The Employer Company is not obligated to keep the employee in the new position for the familiarization period, and if the employee is not meeting the requirements in a manner satisfactory to the EmployerCompany, the Employer Company may return the employee to his former position prior to the expiry of the 480 hour two (2) week period in accordance with this Article. Whenever the question of whether an employee is qualified arises, it shall be the employee's responsibility to satisfy the Company that he is qualified to perform the work of the classification. The Company agrees that if an employee has performed work in a classification, to the Company's quality standards, for a period of thirty (30) working days in the previous twenty-four (24) months, such employee shall be considered "qualified'' for that classification. 20.04 12.04 In the event the employee is not able or does not wish to complete the familiarization period, or cannot satisfactorily to the Employer Company perform the job, he shall be returned to his former position and/or wage or salary rate, without loss of seniority; and any other employee who has been promoted or transferred because of the rearrangement of positions shall also be returned to his former position, and/or wage or salary rate, without loss of seniority. 20.05 12.05 No employee shall be transferred to a position outside the bargaining unit without his consent. If an employee is transferred to a position outside the bargaining unit, he shall retain his seniority accumulated up to the date of leaving the unit, but will not accumulate further seniority. However, such seniority shall be lost if the employee does not return to the bargaining unit within ninety thirty (9030) days from the date of such transfer. 20.06 12.06 New employees shall not be hired where there are employees on layoff who have the ability to do the job. However the Employer Company may fill temporarily a vacancy during the recall procedure period described above. 20.07 12.07 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Collective Agreement, in the event a temporary absence is expected to last eight (8) weeks or less, the provisions of Article 12.02 shall not apply and the Company shall be entitled to fill such temporary position or vacancy in the manner the Company deems appropriate. It is understood that Article 12.07 does not create a right to a training or trial period. That is, in order to be awarded a posted vacancy the employee must be able to demonstrate that he is capable of performing the job at the time of the posting. 12.08 Any employee who has successfully completed the familiarization period in the new position shall not be entitled to apply for another posted position for six (6) months from the completion of the familiarization period, except with the written permission of the EmployerCompany. 20.08 12.09 Promotions or transfers to positions outside of the bargaining unit shall not be subject to the provisions of this Collective Agreement.
