Common use of Vacancy Announcement Clause in Contracts

Vacancy Announcement. Whenever a vacancy occurs in an assignment, and such vacancy is going to be filled by the Division of Fire, an announcement of the existence of such vacancy shall be posted. Employees desiring a change of assignments may make a written request on the designated Fire Division form for such change. When a vacancy occurs in any 48-hour assignment, the assignment to the vacant position will be made on the basis of rank seniority unless the skill, ability, and work performance of a less senior bidder is greater. Upon the request by a representative of the Local Union and/or the member(s) in question, the Fire Division shall substantiate, in writing, why it considers the skill, ability and work performance of the less senior bidder to be greater. Should a grievance be filed contesting (1) a posted vacancy or (2) the employee selected to fill a vacancy, the vacancy which is the subject of the grievance shall not be filled by permanent transfer until the grievance is resolved. In addition, if any bidder with seniority higher than the person who the City otherwise intends to select for the grieved position is also the bidder with the highest seniority for another posted vacancy (i.e., an "affected vacancy"), such affected vacancy shall not be filled by permanent transfer until the grievance is resolved. When there is no qualified bidder for the vacancy, and the vacancy has been advertised, the least senior qualified unassigned person in the relevant rank with proper certification shall be so transferred. The least senior (rank) officer in the relevant rank shall be determined on the closing date of the vacancy list. The least senior officer in the relevant rank on the closing date (deadline for submission of bids) of any vacancy list shall be the officer subject to force filling.
