Employment Security. 28.1 The parties to this agreement agree to maximise the continuity of employment for existing and future employees and to ensure that permanent employment opportunities and the opportunity for promotion transfer and re-training or upskilling are not eliminated, reduced or eroded.
Employment Security. The provisions of this Appendix will apply to a regular employee with two (2) or more years' seniority who becomes surplus from his/her position as a result of contracting out the work normally performed by that employee. The effect of decisions to use purchased services on PWU members will be minimized by accommodating required staff reductions wherever possible by attrition, transfer to other jobs or retraining. Redeployment/career counselling will be made available to affected staff when they are notified of their surplus status. Training and career options will be discussed and incorporated into the redeployment plan. Reasonable training and educational leave will be applied as appropriate. The provisions of this Article will not apply to regular-seasonal employees. The definitions contained in Articles 10 and 11 will also apply to this Appendix. For the purposes of determining if the employee has sufficient seniority to qualify for this Appendix, his/her seniority will be counted up to the surplus date.
Employment Security. Displaced employees shall, following the expiration of their notice period under the Collective Agreement, retain employment security for a period of up to twelve (12) months during which time reasonable efforts will be made to place such employees into gainful employment. Displaced employees who refuse placement by the HLAA shall lose their HLAA registration and the employment security period will be terminated. This does not affect the employee's recall rights under the Collective Agreement. Effective October 1, 2000, the Employer from which a displaced employee is displaced shall pay the wages and benefits of the displaced employee for the duration of the employment security period. The HLAA shall reimburse the Employer for any portion of the employment security period in excess of six (6) months.
Employment Security. Numerous factors may affect the nature and methods of accomplishing work. Changes in work patterns cannot be prevented but the effect of such changes on regular employees should be minimized as much as possible. The effect of such changes on PWU members will be minimized by accommodating required staff reductions wherever possible by attrition, transfer to other jobs or retraining rather than layoff. The provisions of this Article will apply to a regular employee with five or more years' seniority who becomes surplus from his/her position as a result of contracting out the work normally performed by that employee. The provisions of this Article will not apply to regular-seasonal employees. Employees who become surplus for reasons other than contracting out will be entitled to Article 11 as applicable. The definitions contained in Articles 10 and 11 will also apply to this Article. For the purpose of determining if the employee has sufficient seniority to qualify for Article 13, his/her seniority will be counted up to the surplus date.
Employment Security. Labor and management support continuing efforts to provide the best service delivery and the highest-quality service in the most cost-effective manner to the citizens of Seattle. Critical to achieving this purpose is the involvement of employees in sharing information and creatively addressing workplace issues, including administrative and service delivery productivity, efficiency, quality controls, and customer service. Labor and management agree that, in order to maximize participation and results from the Employee Involvement Committees (EIC), no one will lose employment or equivalent rate of pay with the City of Seattle because of efficiencies resulting from an EIC initiative. In instances where the implementation of an EIC recommendation does result in the elimination of a position, management and labor will work together to find suitable alternative employment for the affected employee. An employee who chooses not to participate in and/or accept a reasonable employment offer, if qualified, will terminate his/her rights under this employment security provision.
Employment Security. All Union members covered by this Agreement will be protected by employment security as set out in Article 13.8(f).
