Seniority for the purposes of this agreement shall operate on a bargaining unit basis and shall include service with the Employer prior to the certification or recognition of the Union. Seniority for full-time employees is defined as the length of service with the Employer since the last date of hire. Seniority for part-time employees shall accumulate on the basis of hours, except as expressly provided otherwise in this agreement. It is recognized that 1900 hours paid is equivalent to one year of seniority. Notwithstanding, a part-time employee cannot accrue more than one (1) years seniority in a twelve (12) month period. Seniority, as referred to in this agreement, shall be observed on a unit-wide-basis and shall be used as a factor in determining preference or priority for transfer, promotion, layoff and recall subject to the express provisions of the collective agreement. A part-time employee whose status is altered to full-time will be given credit for seniority on the basis of nineteen hundred (1900) paid hours being equivalent to one (1) year of full-time seniority and service and vice-versa. In addition, an employee whose status is so altered will be given credit for hours accumulated since the date of last advancement proportionate to a full year.
