Common use of Bidding Priority Clause in Contracts

Bidding Priority. a. Bus Drivers shall bid on routes each year in accordance with their placement on the bidding priority list. Priority for bidding shall be based on the employee's dates of hire in accordance with "b" below. When two (2) or more employees are hired on the same date, their positions on the bid list will correspond to their relative positions on the eligibility list from which they are hired, provided, however, that employees on earlier published eligibility lists shall have greater bidding priority. If the date of hire is the same for two (2) or more employees and if two (2) eligibility lists are published the same day for the same classification, the employee with higher total District seniority (established by original date of hiring) with the District will be placed higher on the bid list. If a tie exists between two (2) or more drivers both initially employed by the District on the same date, the driver with the lower number on an eligibility list will be placed higher on the bid list, provided, however, that if the two (2) drivers have the same number on different eligibility lists, their relative positions on the bid list shall be determined by lot. Employees returning to District employment after termination (except for layoff) shall not be credited with bidding priority earned in previous employment.
