VACANCIES, TERM POSITIONS AND NEW POSITIONS. 1101 a) Upon promotion, an employee shall receive a salary within the salary range applicable to their new classification, which provides an increase of at least five (5%) percent above their former hourly rate. b) An employee's anniversary date for the purpose of annual increment shall not be changed as a result of a promotion. 1102 All vacancies which fall within the scope of this Agreement shall be posted for at least seven (7) calendar days. Such postings shall state the Employer, the classification, job title, required qualifications, site(s)/ base location, current or anticipated shift and hours of work, and wage rate. A copy of the posting shall be sent to the Association office within the posting period. Job descriptions shall be available to applicants upon request. 1103 An employee on any leave shall be considered for a posted vacancy provided that the employee submits an application in accordance with the Employers’ job posting application procedures. 1104 Seniority shall be considered as a factor in vacancy selection (including promotion and transfer) and if all other selection criteria are relatively equal, it shall be considered as the governing factor. Selection criteria shall be available to applicants on request. 1105 In a selection process where there are external applicants and the selection criteria are relatively equal amongst applicants, preference shall be given to employees presently in the employ of the Employer who have submitted a written application for the vacant, term or new position. 1106 An employee who applies for a posted vacancy with their Employer and who is unsuccessful shall be, upon written request, given the reasons in writing as soon as reasonably possible. 1107 All promotions and voluntary transfers to a different department/base location or classification are subject to a three (3) month trial period, which may be extended up to an additional three (3) months if the Employer so requests and the Association agrees. 1108 During the trial period, if the employee proves to be unsatisfactory in the new position, or if they wish to revert voluntarily, they shall be returned to their former position if reasonably possible. All other employees so affected shall be returned to their former positions if reasonably possible. An employee not returned to their former position shall be returned to their former occupational classification, employment status and step on scale including any increments or general increases that occurred during that period, and where reasonably possible, base location. 1109 A full-time or part-time employee, not applicable to a term employee, who accepts a term position with the same Employer, will be returned to their former position at the completion of the term position if reasonably possible. An employee not returned to their former position shall be returned to their former occupational classification and employment status and step on scale including any increments or general increases that occurred during that period, and where reasonably possible, base location. 1110 No employee shall be promoted to a position outside the bargaining unit without their consent. This provision shall not be deemed to grant employees the right to refuse temporary assignments made in accordance with Article 23 (Responsibility Pay).
