Employment Equity The University and the Union acknowledge, recognize and support the employment equity program at the University of Victoria. The Parties agree to co-operate in the identification and removal of systemic barriers, if any, in selection, hiring, training and promotion. It is understood that none of the resulting actions will be at variance with the Collective Agreement unless mutually agreed between the parties.
Re-employment Rights (1) Re-employment of Faculty Members on layoff status will be administered by the College in accordance with the then-applicable provisions of the Education Code. (2) Faculty Members on layoff who wish to be re-employed shall keep Human Resources apprised in writing of their current mailing addresses and telephone numbers, and of any changes in their qualifications. (3) When actual vacancies occur in any Faculty Service Area, the District shall notify, in seniority order, the laid-off Faculty Member(s) in such Faculty Service Area. This notice shall be sent by certified mail to the Faculty Member's current mailing address on file with Human Resources forty-five (45) days before the contemplated first day of re- employment of the Faculty Member or immediately upon the District learning of such vacancy if within forty-five (45) days of the course/assignment beginning date. The notified Faculty member shall notify the District in writing of his/her acceptance or rejection within ten (10) days of mailing by the District. Failure to do so shall mean the Faculty Member has waived his/her reappointment right to the vacancy stated in the notice from the District. Such Faculty Member shall retain the Faculty Member's seniority position on that Faculty Service Area list for the period of time provided by the Education Code. (4) As to any Faculty Member who is re-employed, the period of absence shall be treated as a leave of absence and shall not be considered as a break in the continuity of service, and such Faculty Member shall retain all rights to contract or regular status, as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable provision of the Education Code, including the requirement of four (4) years' active service for eligibility to move from a contract position to a regular position. (5) All partially or completely laid-off Faculty Members, upon any partial reinstatement, shall be paid the pro-rata salary equivalent to their step and column placement on the permanent salary schedule at the time of their layoff.
Employment Rights Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement will create any right or duty on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to or following any Change in Control.
Alternative Employment An employer, in a particular redundancy case, may make application to the Commission to have the general severance pay prescription varied if the employer obtains acceptable alternative employment for an employee.
