Common use of EQUIVALENT QUALIFICATIONS Clause in Contracts

EQUIVALENT QUALIFICATIONS. 12.04.1 In keeping with the principle that the posting/application process be as fair and expeditious as is reasonably possible, and in consideration of the previous decisions between the parties, it is understood that it is primarily the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that she or he meets (but not necessarily has) the posted qualifications by providing the hiring unit with clear and sufficient information/evidence to make an informed judgement as to the kind, degree and appropriateness of qualification. 12.04.2 It is understood that, where an employee seeks to be appointed to a position on the basis of qualifications that are distinct from those posted for a position, it is the sole responsibility of the employee to bring these to the attention of the hiring unit unless in the past the applicant has successfully demonstrated to that hiring unit as per 12.04.4 below, that she has the academic qualifications equivalent to those posted or she has submitted materials which in her reasonable expectations make such equivalency sufficiently clear. The parties agree to charge the Labour/Management committee with the task of working out the details around the notification of equivalency in the application process. 12.04.3 In keeping with the principle articulated in 12.04.1, it is understood that if a degree differs in name only from the posted qualification it is deemed to be equivalent. 12.04.4 A hiring unit will accept academic qualifications as being equivalent to those that have been posted for under the Required and Preferred qualifications, provided that there is a clear relationship between such qualifications and the reasonable and relevant requirements of the position that is being posted by the employer; and provided that: (a) the qualification, at the time of application, must either have been conferred, assessed, or evaluated by academic(s)/professional(s) who are acknowledged experts in the field; (b) in the case of publications, have been published in a refereed journal or by a known publisher of academic works, or both; (c) where the academic qualification being sought is not a degree, the volume or intensity of the work must be sufficient to warrant equivalence to a degree (for example, a 3-page co-authored article is not equivalent to a specialization in the area at the graduate level). It is further understood that the hiring unit is not required to accept non-academic life experience as being an equivalent qualification. The employer agrees that it would not normally be reasonable to require Unit 2 candidates for 1st and 2nd year courses to meet qualifications exceeding those of members of the full-time faculty in the same area and with similar length of service to the University.
