Employee Whose. Job Has Significantly Changed The employee has two choices: i. accept the new job and be provided with retraining, or ii. decline the new job. If option (i) is chosen, the employee will be provided with the training, not to exceed eight (8) months, to acquire the new or modified skills required for the changed position. During that time, the employee must acquire the skills required for the changed position. The Employer will pay for the training and, where practical, will schedule it during normal working hours. Employees have the option to remove themselves from the job within a sixty (60) working day trial period. Where the employer exercises the option to remove an employee from the job during the period of training the employer may offer full rights to Voluntary Exit or placement under 6.05(b). If option (ii) is chosen or where an employee removes themselves from the job during the work trial, the employee will have rights under section (b) –redundancy, however, the option for Voluntary Exit will apply as follows: • Voluntary Exit offers will be accepted by the employer when the job content has been modified resulting in a salary grade reduction or relocated to another geographic location or where the fundamental nature [core features] of the work is no longer similar. • Voluntary Exit offers may be accepted by the employer when the job content has been modified or enhanced, where the salary grade remains the same or higher and the fundamental nature [core features] of the work is similar however: o Where the number of positions has been reduced the number of Voluntary Exit offers made available will be no less than the number of surplus positions. Where there is an incumbent with the same job, in the same geographic location, on the Voluntary Exit list, then their offer will be accepted removing the need to give official notice to an employee. If there is not a suitable match on the VE list, then the affected employee will displace the least senior incumbent in the same job and geographic location. The displaced employee will be given notice of redundancy.
