Common use of Voluntary Transfer Process Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Transfer Process. The District recognizes the interests of its employees in seeking voluntary transfers. Accordingly, when a position in the bargaining unit is advertised, unit members in the same job classification will be given consideration for voluntary transfer prior to consideration of the general applicant pool. To be considered for voluntary transfer, the unit member must submit the required application materials to District Human Resources prior to the closing date of the position. For purposes of the following process, a “qualified unit member” is defined as a unit member whose last evaluation had an overall rating of no less than “competent”. If five (5) or fewer qualified unit members apply for the voluntary transfer, they will be interviewed by the work location prior to interviewing other applicants. If more than five (5) qualified unit members apply for the voluntary transfer, then at least the five (5) unit members most qualified based on screening of applications will be interviewed by the work location prior to interviewing other applicants. The District shall ensure that uniform criteria are used in screening applicants for a vacant position. If an applicant for voluntary transfer is recommended for the position, they will be notified by the Director of Human Resources or designee. If none of the applicants for voluntary transfer are recommended for the position, their applications will be included in the general applicant pool for the position; however, this does not guarantee that they will be granted a second interview.
