Permanent Vacancies a) The Employer will post notice of a vacancy in a bargaining unit job within ten (10) working days from the date of the vacancy (providing the position is going to be filled) setting forth the position, location, and shift, and it shall be posted for a period of five (5) working days. A vacancy exists when there are more positions than employees in the bargaining unit. Any interested employee may apply in writing. After the end of the posting period, an employee may not apply, regardless of his/her reason for failure to apply during the posting period, and also regardless of his/her seniority standing relative to those who did bid during the posting period. The Employer may fill a posted job on a temporary basis during the posting period.
b) The position shall be awarded within fifteen (15) working days from the end of the posting period. The vacancy shall be filled based on the equally weighted components of skill, ability to acquire the necessary knowledge to perform the job, prior job performance and seniority. Employees who have applied for a posted vacancy, upon request, shall be informed in writing of the reason(s) for not being selected. A copy of the notification will be placed in the employee’s file. The Employer shall provide the Union President with a copy of the posting, the names of the applicants and to whom the position was awarded.
c) During the first ten (10) days on his/her new job, the employer will provide assignment specific training to the employee. During the first forty-five (45) working days on his/her new job, a successful applicant may elect to return to his/her former job, or the Employer may elect to retransfer the applicant to his/her former job at the former pay rate and benefit level in the event he/she fails to demonstrate his/her ability to do the required work with written notice of documented reasons with a copy to the President. This shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. If the job is so vacated, the Employer may select another applicant from the earlier posting.
d) After an employee's successful application, he/she shall be ineligible to apply for another posted job for six (6) months. However, if a vacancy arises in a higher paying position, an employee may apply after thirty (30) days in position. Sub-sections c and d do not apply to the Transportation unit (drivers).
e) Employees may submit a request to the Director of Operations and/or Chief Financial Officer for a transfer within their classification. ...

(2) Realignment of duties does not create a vacancy. This includes situations where administrative positions are reclassified.
(3) The College cannot assign an employee to a vacant administrative position where this position is identified by a wholly new or substantively different job description, without filling the vacancy in accordance with these procedures.

(i) where there is less than forty (40) hours of available work to be performed; or

(b) Notices of vacancies will remain posted for a period of five (5) working days. All such job postings shall designate the shift (days, afternoons or nights), the days of the week and the starting and quitting times. Selection to such vacancy shall be on the basis of seniority provided that the employee who is applying for the vacancy possesses the qualifications and ability necessary to perform the work in question.
(c) If a successful applicant is unable to perform the normal requirements of the position he shall be returned to his former position at his former rate of pay.

Employees in the bargaining unit may make written application for such vacancy within the seven (7) day period referred to herein. Subsequent vacancies created by the filling of a posted vacancy are to be posted for five (5) consecutive calendar days. Job vacancies shall be posted on the designated bulletin board.
(b) Employees shall be selected for job postings on the basis of their skill, ability, experience and qualifications. Where these factors are relatively equal amongst the employees considered, seniority shall govern, providing the senior applicant meets the minimum requirements of the position and can perform the work within an appropriate familiarization period. In the event no qualified applicant is found within the bargaining unit the Employer may recruit ‘external’ to the bargaining unit.

Permanent Vacancies.

Permanent Vacancies. Premium Classifications (Maintenance Controller, Inspector, Lead Mechanic and Maintenance Training Instructor)
1. When a permanent vacancy in a premium classification (Maintenance Controller, Inspector, Lead Mechanic, and Maintenance Training Instructor) is posted at a Maintenance Base, the Department leadership, or his designee, will pull the Preference Bid Sheets (PBS’s) which indicate the Employees’ choices for shift and days off. The most senior Employee in the classification at the Maintenance Base who selected the shift and days off of the vacant position will be awarded the position. The most senior Employee’s position that was vacated will then be awarded to the most senior Employee with a PBS on file for that shift and days off. The Bid process will then stop, and the next opening will be filled by the following preferential order: a recall under Article 9, transfer in, temporary assignment, or by new hire.
2. Each Employee must complete his shift/days off PBS and provide a copy to his Supervisor or Manager. An Employee may designate up to three (3) choices of shift(s)/days off on their PBS. The PBS’s must be signed and dated by both the Employee and the Supervisor or Manager. An Employee may change and resubmit his PBS at any time prior to a vacancy being posted. (Example: If a vacancy is posted on Tuesday, the cut-off date for submitting a PBS would be the previous day which would be Monday.) As a part of the process of awarding the vacancy, all three (3) choices contained on the most senior Employee’s PBS must not match the vacancy to move to the next Employee. Once the vacancy has been filled, Employees may submit a new PBS. The only valid PBS is the most recent signed and dated PBS on file.
3. If after the process described above in paragraph C.1. and C.2. has been completed and any vacancy has not been filled, and the Company wishes to fill the vacancy, notice of such vacancy shall be posted digitally at all Maintenance Bases for a period of seven (7) calendar days. Such posting will specify the classification, minimum qualifications, Maintenance Base, shift, hours of service, shop, (“shop” is defined as the area of primary job duties) days off and the closing date. An Employee desiring to be considered for the job shall submit a bid during the seven (7) day period. Bids shall be submitted to the Talent Management Department on a standard Company form and must be dated and postmarked or received prior to the closing date of the posted vacanc...
