TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES Clause Samples
The "Transfers and Vacancies" clause governs how positions within an organization are filled when they become vacant or when employees are transferred from one role or location to another. Typically, this clause outlines the procedures for posting job openings, the criteria for selecting candidates, and the process for transferring employees, which may include considerations of seniority, qualifications, or operational needs. Its core function is to ensure a fair and transparent process for managing workforce changes, thereby minimizing disputes and maintaining organizational stability.
TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES. A. A request by a teacher for transfer shall be made to the Human Resources Department in writing prior to April 30 on forms furnished by the Board, and a copy of the transfer request shall be forwarded by the Human Resources Department to the current principal(s) and, unless the teacher prohibits such notification, the HVEA president. After consideration of the transfer requests, any vacancy must be posted. The application shall set forth the reasons for transfer, the school, grade and/or position sought and the applicant's academic qualifications, certifications, and endorsements on file with Human Resources as of March 31. The teacher requesting a transfer will notify and discuss the matter with the principal of the school to which he/she wishes to be transferred. If all parties - the teacher, the principal of the school to which the teacher wishes to transfer, and the Board are in favor of such transfer, then the transfer shall take place. In each case where a teacher has requested a transfer under this Section and where the request is not granted for any reason, the teacher will receive an explanation in a timely manner. However, it is understood that transfers after the close of school shall be granted at the discretion of the Superintendent.
B. It is recognized by both parties that involuntary transfers may be necessary; however, the Board agrees that involuntary transfers will be made only for good cause. Following one week notification, plus consultation with the teacher or teachers and principals concerned at a meeting, including the Superintendent or his/her designee and the association President or his/her designee, it shall be up to the Superintendent of Schools as to whether an involuntary transfer is necessary. Upon written request of the teacher, the association shall also be notified of the reasons for such unrequested transfer.
C. When involuntary transfers are effected for a necessary reduction in a school's staff allocation due to reduced student enrollment, reduced finances or the closing of a building, qualifications, program needs and seniority shall be considered in such transfer decisions. When qualifications and program needs are predominately equal, seniority shall prevail.
D. The filling of instructional vacancies shall be accomplished by using the following procedures:
1. Review all transfer requests.
2. Provide the association President with appropriate postings including qualifications and job descriptions (where possible), a...
TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES. In the event an employee does not bid, but is selected to be transferred, he may accept or reject the transfer. If he accepts, his seniority is treated in the same manner as though he had bid. If he rejects the transfer, he shall not be restricted from future bids under similar conditions. In the event that an employee is moved to another Department by reason of a departmental merger or consolidation of work, this shall not be considered a transfer, and the seniority rights of the individual involved shall then be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Local Union.

TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES. 8.1 The Board and the Association agree that teachers be given consideration regarding their preference in assignment. All vacancies shall be filled based on program needs and qualifications.
8.2 Transfers shall mean only those changes involving moves from one school to another. Reassignment to different grade level or area of instruction within a school is not considered a transfer.
TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES. 8.3.1 School Directors will, through the Superintendent’s Designee, announce and post all intra-school vacancies when they occur or become known. Teachers within that school will have five (5) school days from the date of posting in which to apply for the vacancy. If this vacancy is not filled by an intra-schoolteacher, then the vacancy will be posted as stated in Section 8.3.3.
8.3.2 Teachers returning from leave may apply for any school vacancies posted for the school to which they were assigned when their leave commenced.
8.3.3 All school vacancies shall be posted on the District’s website for at least five (5) days as these vacancies occur. Teachers will be given the opportunity to apply for these vacancies or openings as they are posted. Applications will be submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee.
8.3.4 Teachers returning from any leave of absence will be notified all available vacancies for the next school year and may apply for these vacancies as they are posted. To ensure positions, these teachers may also be assigned to positions by the Superintendent’s Designee.
8.3.5 Notification of vacancies occurring after the regular school year will be posted on the District website as well as e-mailed to all district staff via the district e-mail system. During the ten calendar days prior to the first teacher workday, the five (5) day posting may be waived. Administrators will make every effort to contact teachers who have previously expressed an interest through a Request of Transfer submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee by March 15 (8.2.1.1).
8.3.6 All qualified in-district applicants for teacher vacancies shall be interviewed by the appropriate administrator and school hiring team when possible. Each interviewed applicant shall be notified in writing of the disposition of his/her application.
8.3.7 The Association and Board of Education agree that collaboration in the teacher hiring process is desirable and that every opportunity should be given to district teachers to provide their input on hiring teams. We collectively understand that circumstances may lead to the need for hiring decisions to be made by administration without consultation. We understand this should not be a consistent occurrence and all efforts will be made to follow the above philosophy. Finally, we agree that the Superintendent will make final hiring recommendations to the Board of Education.
