INTERNAL COMPETITIONS Clause Samples
The INTERNAL COMPETITIONS clause establishes rules and procedures for organizing and conducting competitions within an organization. It typically outlines eligibility criteria for participants, the types of competitions covered, and the process for determining winners or awarding prizes. By providing a clear framework for internal contests, this clause ensures fairness, transparency, and consistency, thereby minimizing disputes and promoting healthy competition among employees or members.
INTERNAL COMPETITIONS. The Company and SPEA value the process of job postings and competitions, particularly as a means for employees to achieve job satisfaction and career development, and as a means for the Company to achieve a matching of its human resources to its work requirements while taking employee preferences into account. Accordingly, the following general principles will apply regarding assignments, competitions and promotions: • In general, prospective vacancies will be posted; • The onus is on the employee to identify interest in a posted position; • Employees will be given preference over non-Bargaining Unit applicants (e.g., external hiring) for any vacancy.
INTERNAL COMPETITIONS. (a) Unless waived by mutual agreement in writing, internal competitions will be held for positions in the bargaining unit which the Company wishes to fill. Such competitions may arise either from a vacancy created by a retirement, transfer or termination, or due to new work where such work would fall within the scope of this bargaining unit. Notices detailing the qualifications required, the work involved and the classification(s) appropriate to the position will be posted for at least six (6) working days before the closing date of the competition. Qualifications so detailed will be consistent with those documented in the job specifications appropriate to the Bargaining Unit.
(b) A Bargaining Unit position will only be posted for competition after consideration has been given to all eligible Bargaining Unit members in the following situations in order of seniority:
(i) on notice of ▇▇▇▇▇▇;
(ii) on a recall list; or
(iii) has been laid off/bumped out of the position within the last two (2) years. Human Resources will confirm to the Union President that such consideration has been given.
(c) All CRTT applications (Category 1) will be considered before other applicants from outside CRTT (Category 2). All CRTT applications (Category 1) will be forwarded to the appropriate branch manager for consideration. If they meet the specified qualifications, including the capacity to perform the particular work required with a familiarization period appropriate to the job level, they will be selected. Should no suitable CRTT applicant be selected, other candidates will be considered. It is agreed that, in the interest of improved productivity and greater return on training costs, people in positions who have satisfied the criteria below may apply in writing for internal competitions:
(i) have completed a period of twelve (12) months in their current position, or
(ii) are within the last 3 months of their term. If the above criteria is not met, requests for exemption will be discussed with the Company and shall not be unreasonably denied. This provision is not intended to restrict normal career development.
(d) Within thirty (30) working days of transfer to a different position within CRTT, the employee may elect to return to the employee’s former position, or the Company may re‐assign the employee to such former position.
(e) All positions which are to be filled on a non‐permanent basis while the incumbent is absent on maternity leave or short‐term assignment will be po...
