SENIORITY
A. Seniority for the purpose of this Article shall be based upon an employee's continuous length of service with the Board.
B. 1. All employees shall be considered as probationary employees for the first sixty (60) days of their employment. Probationary employees may be disciplined or terminated at any time during their probationary period at the sole discretion of the Board, without recourse to the provisions of the grievance procedure of this Agreement. Upon completion of such probationary period, their seniority will be dated as of the date of commencement of their employment.
2. Employees who obtain new positions in the bargaining unit due to promotion or requested transfer will have a 60 day probationary period. If during this period, or at its conclusion, the Board, through its administration, and in its sole discretion, determines to transfer the employee back to the last prior position it may do so without employee or Association recourse to the grievance procedure.
3. If the employee gives notice, during the probationary period in 1. above, that he/she wishes to move back into the job title previously held, he/she shall be moved back to that title as soon as administratively possible.
4. The Association and the employee shall be notified of the completion of the probationary period.
C. In the event that two (2) employees commence their employment on the same date, their respective seniority shall be determined by alphabetical order of their last names.
D. The Board shall maintain a seniority list of employees, copies of which shall be furnished to the Union upon request but not more than three (3) times in a contract year.
E. An employee's seniority shall cease and his/her employee status shall terminate for any of the following reasons:
1. Resignation or retirement
2. Discharge for cause
3. In the event of a lay-off, an employee's employment status shall cease immediately upon lay-off, however, seniority shall not be lost except in case of continuous lay-off for a period exceeding twelve (12) months.
4. Failure of laid-off employees to report for work either, (1) on the date specified in written notice of recall mailed 14 or more calendar days prior to such date; or (2) within three (3) working days after date specified in written notice of recall mailed less than 14 calendar days prior to such date, unless the employee has a justifiable excuse for his failure to return to work as provided herein. The Board shall give careful consideration to an employee's reasons, which may have caused a delay in his return to work. Written notice of recall to work shall be sent by the Board by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the employee's last known address, as shown on the Board's personnel records.
5. Failure to report to work for a period of three (3) consecutive scheduled working days without notification to the Board of a justifiable excuse for such absence.
6. Failure to report back to work immediately upon expiration of vacation,
leave of absence or any renewal thereof, unless return to work is excused by the Board.
F. When circumstances necessitate a reduction of the work force, the Board shall take the following appropriate steps:
I . The Board shall advise the Association in advance of the number of employees to be affected and the job titles and grade levels of the affected employees.
2. The Board shall first consider for lay-off the employees with the least seniority in the job titles and grade levels affected.
3. Employees considered for lay-off shall first be considered for filling any existing vacancy in another job title of the same grade level provided they have the requisite qualifications and the ability to perform the work. If no vacancy exists in the same grade level, the employee may displace, in his same grade level, an employee with less seniority in the job title that the displacing employee has the requisite qualifications and ability to perform the work and likewise In successively lower grades. An employee placed
in a lower grade shall be paid according to the salary guide for the grade level and job title actually worked. An employee not placed under these provisions shall be laid off. These provisions shall also apply to a displaced employee.
G. Employees may be recalled to work from lay-off provided that they have the requisite qualifications and ability to perform the available work.
H. A permanent job opening in the bargaining unit shall be posted on appropriate bulletin boards for a period of five (5) consecutive work days. Permanent employees may bid on such job openings. However, probationary employees are ineligible to bid on permanent job openings.
I. In filling permanent promotional job vacancies within the bargaining unit, the Board will first attempt to fill such vacancies by promoting an employee from the next lower rated job title who had bid for the opening and who has, in the Board's sole discretion, the requisite qualifications and ability to perform the work. Where, in the Board's sole discretion, two (2) or more employees possess equal qualifications and ability to perform the work, the employee with the greatest seniority in the bargaining unit who had bid for the job will be given preference.
J. 1 . When a lateral job vacancy occurs, employees in that category who
desire to transfer to another school and who have filed a written request for such transfer with the Board shall be considered for transfer by the Board. If such a request is to be granted, it will be granted on the basis of the most senior employee being given preference. Once such transfer has been granted or a transfer offered and refused, the employee applying therefore or refusing shall be ineligible for further transfer for a period of two months. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right of the Board to transfer employees as the needs of the school system require.
2. All filling of vacancies in grade titles shall be by seniority except for the following positions that are generic in nature. An individual wishing to transfer must demonstrate the skill to perform the job to which he wishes to transfer. Example: plumber to plumber by seniority; plumber to electrician by demonstrated skill.
a. Maintenance Person (Grade III or IV)
b. Grounds Crew Leader/Athletic
c.. Ground Crew Leader
3. Effective July 1, 1995, existing language and practice which would restrict transfer of employees possessing a Black Seal license is removed. In the case of Black Seal transfers the Administration will designate buildings and shifts where it intends to appoint a Black Seal employee; the Board will seek volunteers for the building/shift from the pool of employees who possess a Black Seal license but are not currently assigned to a situation where it is used; if one employee volunteers, the volunteer will be appointed to the building/shift; if more than one employee volunteers, assignment will be made by seniority, if there is no volunteer for a building/shift, the Board may assign in reverse order of seniority. Those employees displaced by transfer of Black Seal employees shall apply for
any vacancy within their grade level and will be appointed in order of seniority.
It is recognized that Cleaners used as “floaters” who possess a Black Seal license and who are assigned on a temporary basis to a building to replace an absent cleaner are not considered to have been “transferred” within the meaning of the above.
K. It is recognized that seniority is only one criteria to be considered by the Board. The Board retains all authority and discretion allowed by law with respect to reductions in force, recall from lay-offs, transfers and promotion of employees.
