Escalation Procedure Tentative Rates for those species and products listed in A4a are subject to quarterly escalation in accordance with the following pro- cedures: The calendar quarter index average for each price index described in A5 is the arithmetic average of the three such monthly price indices preceding January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The difference between calendar quarter index average and Base Index listed in A4a shall be the basis for quarterly escalation. To arrive at Current Contract Rates for timber Scaled during the preceding calendar quarter, Tentative Rates for each species shall be reduced or increased by such difference, except when the calendar quarter index average is:
(a) Less than the Base Index, the reduction shall not result in a rate below Base Rate or
(b) Greater than the Base Index, the increase shall not exceed the difference between Tentative Rate and Base Rate. In the event of Contract Term Extension, the escala- tion procedure will be used during the extension period, except that adjusted payment rates for any calendar quar- ter cannot be less than Tentative Rates, for each species and product group, established under B8.23 for the ex- tension period.
Conversion Procedure (a) To convert a Security, a Holder must (i) if the Security is held in book-entry form, complete and deliver to the Depository appropriate instructions pursuant to the Applicable Procedures or (ii) if the Security is in definitive form, (A) complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (B) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent and (C) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or the Conversion Agent, and pay any transfer or other tax, if required by Section 9.03. The “Conversion Date” shall be the Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all of the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, if all such requirements shall have been satisfied by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such day, and in all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) The Person in whose name the Security is registered shall be deemed to be a holder of Common Stock of record on the Conversion Date; provided that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further that such conversion shall be at the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Security shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security.
(c) No payment or adjustment shall be made for accrued but unpaid interest on a converted Security or for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security. The Company shall not adjust the Base Conversion Price to account for the accrued but unpaid interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Securities are converted after the close of business on a regular record date and prior to the opening of business on the next interest payment date, including the Maturity Date, Holders of such Securities at the close of business on such regular record date shall receive the accrued but unpaid interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion. In such event, such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by delivery of payment to the Conversion Agent in an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest payable on such interest payment date on the portion so converted. If such payment does not accompany such Security, the Security shall not be converted; provided that no such payment shall be required if such Security has been called for redemption on a redemption date within the period between the close of business on such record date and the opening of business on such interest payment date, or if such Security is surrendered for conversion on the interest payment date. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest payable on the interest payment date, the Conversion Agent shall promptly repay such funds to the Holder.
(d) A Holder may convert a portion of a Security equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security. Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an order from the Company, authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.
Termination Procedure a. Upon termination of this Contract the DCYF, in addition to any other rights provided in this Contract, may require the Contractor to deliver to DCYF any property specifically produced or acquired for the performance of such part of this Contract as has been terminated. The provisions of Section (TREATMENT OF ASSETS) shall apply in such property transfer.
b. DCYF shall pay to the Contractor the agreed upon price, if separately stated, for completed work and service(s) accepted by DCYF, and the amount agreed upon by the Contractor and DCYF for (i) completed work and service(s) for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and service(s), (iii) other property or services which are accepted by DCYF, and (iv) the protection and preservation of property, unless the termination is for default, in which case DCYF and Contractor may agree to the extent of the liability of DCYF. Failure to agree to the extent of the liability shall be a dispute within the meaning of Section (DISPUTES) of this Contract. DCYF may withhold from any amounts due the Contractor such sum as DCYF determines to be necessary to protect DCYF against potential loss or liability.
c. The rights and remedies of DCYF provided in this Section (TERMINATION PROCEDURE) shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Contract.
d. After receipt of a notice of termination, and except as otherwise directed by DCYF, the Contractor shall:
(1) Stop work under the contract on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice;
(2) Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the work under the Contract as is not terminated;
(3) Assign to DCYF, in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by DCYF, all of the rights, title, and interest of the Contractor under the orders and subcontracts so terminated, in which case DCYF has the right, at its discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and subcontracts;
(4) Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and subcontracts, with the approval or ratification of DCYF to the extent DCYF may require, which approval or ratification shall be final for all the purposes of this clause;
(5) Transfer title to DCYF and deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by this Contract or by DCYF any property which, if the contract had been completed, would have been required to be furnished to DCYF;
(6) Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not have been terminated by DCYF; and
(7) Take such action as may be necessary, or as DCYF may direct, for the protection and preservation of the property related to this contract which is in the possession of the Contractor and in which DCYF has or may acquire an interest.
Layoff Procedure A. Once the University determines the need for a layoff exists, it shall employ the following procedure:
1. If at any time during the layoff process an employee submits his notice of retirement, resignation or volunteers for layoff, the University will review its layoff rationale. Where appropriate, the University may curtail staff reductions and/or recall laid-off employee(s). The University shall first lay off non-bargaining unit temporary employees with the same job classification and within the department(s) where the layoff(s) occurs. The University shall then lay off probationary employees with the same job classification and within the affected department(s). The University shall then lay off part-time employees with the same job classification and within the affected department(s).
2. If further reductions are required, employees in the affected job classification(s) shall be laid off as follows:
a. any employees in the affected classification who have active discipline at the suspension (whether a working suspension or unpaid suspension) level or covered by a “last chance agreement” for conduct other than that covered by Article 41, or
b. any employees who have an overall performance evaluation rating below standards (i.e. a “needs improvement” rating or below) for the two most recent performance evaluation rating periods, or
c. in the inverse order of seniority. The remaining employees within the department or unit must be immediately qualified to perform the required work. For purposes of layoff, placement, bumping, and recall, “immediately qualified” shall be defined as meeting the minimum and preferred qualifications for the position to perform the work, with the exception of the Technology Scale, where “immediately qualified” shall be defined as meeting the minimum qualifications for the position to perform the required work. In determining whether the employee is immediately qualified, the University shall give consideration to ability, aptitude, skill, experience, qualifications as stated in the job description. The determination of qualifications is the responsibility of the University. If the University determines that an employee is not qualified, the employee shall have the right to grieve such decision. Part-time employees shall be laid off before full-time employees, and part-time employees cannot bump full-time employees. Similarly, temporary employees cannot bump regular or funds available employees, regardless of seniority.
3. Student employees shall not be used to perform significant components of the position of a laid off employee. It is agreed that this provision shall not apply to students, whether paid or unpaid, performing work in internships, graduate assistantships, practicums or through other programs whose primary purpose is to satisfy a degree requirement.
4. The University shall make available to laid-off employees, prior to their layoff date, job and career advising and information on benefits. Upon request, the University shall provide reasonable access to personal computers, and copiers for use in preparing resumes and cover letters. Employees shall also have access to EAP services during this time period to deal with any stress-related issues.
5. If the work force is to be reduced, it shall be accomplished by layoff and not by any hours reduction. Only by agreement between the employee, University and Union can the regular hours of employees be reduced.
6. If a layoff occurs during a period of unpaid leave, the employee on leave shall receive the same rights under this Agreement upon return to work as other employees.
7. Any employee scheduled to be laid off from his/her present job may request to be transferred into a posted vacant bargaining unit position for which the employee is immediately qualified to perform the required work.
8. Seniority will continue to accrue up to eighteen (18) months during time spent on layoff, and the employee shall retain all seniority accumulated prior to layoff.
9. Employees laid off while serving his/her initial probationary period or employees in a temporary position (an employee hired for a specific project or hired with a defined end date) will not be entitled to placement, bumping or recall rights.
Lay-off Procedure A permanent employee subject to lay off will be placed using the following procedures in the order set out below:
a) An employee will first be offered any available permanent vacancy for which the employee has the required qualifications. The employee will have a maximum of five (5) working days to accept or reject such vacancy. If the employee accepts the vacancy and the hourly rate is lower in that vacant position, the employee's hourly rate will be maintained while the employee remains in that vacant position for a period of one (1) calendar year.
b) If there are no vacancies available for which the employee has the required qualifications, or if available, the employee does not accept the vacancy and the Employer transfers or demotes the employee pursuant to Clause 10.05, the employee's hourly rate of pay will be maintained so long as the employee remains in the position to which the employee was transferred or demoted. The employee will not receive any further negotiated wage increases until the hourly rate of pay of the new position equals or surpasses the hourly rate of pay of their previous position.
c) If there are no vacancies for which the employee has the required qualifications, or if available, the employee does not accept the vacancy and the Employer does not exercise its right under Clause 10.05, the employee may select a permanent position held by a less senior employee on the seniority list if they have the required qualifications.
d) This process will continue in order of seniority until each permanent employee subject to lay off obtains a position for which they are qualified or it is determined there are no positions available for which the employee is qualified. If the employee does not select a position for which they are qualified, the employee shall be laid off.
e) If the employee is not placed through the above procedures, the employee shall be laid off pursuant to Clause 10.03.
f) Permanent full-time employees and permanent part-time employees will be restricted to positions under a), b), c), and d) on their respective seniority lists.
g) If an employee is placed through any of the above procedures, the posting provisions under Clause 08.01 will not apply.
h) Temporary employees in the same work area and who spend the majority of their time performing the same work as the employee subject to lay off will be terminated before the permanent employee is laid off.
i) The procedures set out above in a) through h) shall be completed within twenty
Move-In Procedure The Resident must follow all move-in times, dates and procedures outlined by the Manager. The Resident will be notified of the date and time that the Resident may move into the Room. If the Resident wishes to move-in prior to the scheduled move-in day, the Resident may do so at the Manager’s then posted nightly rate and subject to availability (detailed in Table 1 & 3). Care is to be exercised in moving-in heavy objects to avoid damage to floor coverings, walls, doors and frames and any other part of the Residence. The Resident shall be responsible to pay forthwith to the Manager the cost of any damage to the Room or the Residence arising from the move-in.
Formal Procedure No different or additional Work or contractual obligations will be authorized or performed unless contemplated within the Scope of Work and memorialized in an amendment or modification of the Contract that is executed in compliance with this Article. No waiver of any term, covenant, or condition of the Contract will be valid unless executed in compliance with this Article. Contractor will not be entitled to payment for Work that is not authorized by a properly executed Contract amendment or modification, or through the express written authorization of HHSC. Any changes to the Contract that results in a change to either the term, fees, or significantly impacting the obligations of the parties to the Contract must be effectuated by a formal Amendment to the Contract. Such Amendment must be signed by the appropriate and duly authorized representative of each party in order to have any effect.
Formal Grievance Procedure 1. In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved informally, the parties shall pursue the first step in the formal grievance procedure before making any application for arbitration, unless the College and the AAUP agree in writing to alter the procedure or waive one or more of the steps by proceeding directly to arbitration.
2. Upon written request of the AAUP Contract Compliance Officer, the College shall submit any requested documents in its possession which may be necessary for investigation of the grievance. The College shall deliver such documents as soon as is reasonably possible, but no later than seven (7) days after receipt of a written request.
