Common use of Voluntary Transfer or Reassignment Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Transfer or Reassignment. A unit member may submit a request for transfer or reassignment to the District at any time, whether or not a vacancy exists. A unit member may also submit a request for a transfer or reassignment subsequent to the posting of a vacancy notice pursuant to the posting procedure under item B (Vacancies) of this section. A transfer or reassignment request shall not be denied arbitrarily or capriciously. If a unit member’s request for a voluntary transfer or reassignment is denied, he/she shall be granted, upon request, a meeting with the administrator who denied the request to discuss the reasons for the denial. The discussion will include a professional growth plan if requested by the employee. This meeting may also, at the employee’s request, include a written list indicating the steps the employee may take to be considered for this or a similar position the next time one becomes available. Upon request, the unit member may also receive written reasons for the denial following the meeting.
