Common use of Voluntary Transfer/Promotion Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Transfer/Promotion. In filling vacancies the Employer agrees to give due weight to the experience, competency, attendance, work record, and other posted qualifications and skills of all applicants, in conjunction with their classification standing and length of service in the District. The Employer declares its support of a policy of promotion from within its own UAW Bargaining Unit staff. When the experience, competency, attendance, work record, and other posted qualifications and skills of the two or more applicants are relatively equal, the most senior applicant will be awarded the position. Probationary employees shall not be eligible to apply for another promotion or voluntary transfer until the probationary period has been satisfied. If an employee’s request for a transfer is granted, they must remain in this position for at least one calendar year. A transfer does not, however, prohibit the transferee from promotion. The employee shall have the right, during the trial period (promotion or voluntary transfer), to revert to his/her former assignment title position if he/she so desires, and to his/her former job assignment if that job assignment has not been eliminated. In addition, the employer shall have the right to revert the employee to his/her former assignment title and location if in the opinion of the employer, the employee’s performance is unsatisfactory. In such cases, written notice of the unsatisfactory performance will be given to the employee with a copy to the Union. If an employee accepts a position not included in the unit and is thereafter transferred again to a position within the unit, they shall have their accumulated seniority frozen as of the day they leave the unit. This seniority will be protected for twelve (12) months. Upon return, they shall be reinstated in the same classification they held before transferring out of the unit. The time spent out of the bargaining unit will not be counted toward seniority within the unit; however, total years of service with the Employer will be counted in computing the employee’s fringe benefits. In no case will seniority rights be protected for employees promoted outside the bargaining unit for a period of time longer than their total accumulated seniority at the time of the promotion/transfer, but no longer than one (1) year.
