LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Employees shall All but two of the agreements expressly grant leave for union busi ness and those two grant leaves for any “ reasonable purpose” ; it may, therefore, be entitled assumed that such leaves might be used for union business. Time limits, ranging from 14 days to 1 year, which may be extended by the company, are specified in those agreements pro viding leave without pay for union activities. Eight limit the number of employees who may be absent at one (1) year after seven (7) years of continuous service. Requests time, the number varying from 1 for a long leave without pay must to 10 for short leaves. One agreement permits 5 employees to be submitted at least ninety (90) days prior to absent for 2 weeks, 2 for 180 days, but only 1 for a year. Suffi cient notice, so that the start absence of the intended leaveemployee will not disrupt oper ations in the department, is required under 3 agreements, while 2 specify that employees who have been deferred by Selective Service as essential war workers may not have leave for union business. The employee must also state Em ployees returning after leave are restored to their jobs “ without loss of seniority” or “ without affecting seniority,” the reason Xxxxxxxx and Stand- ard (Cleveland) agreements specifically stating that seniority shall accumulate during the employee's absence. Leave for the leaveother than union business is specifically provided in 12 agreements. Leaves of absence shall be available to not more than two (2%) percent Most of the bargaining unit at any given time and shall not be available for the purpose of accepting other employment, except as noted later in this section. Employees shall not be eligible for a second (2nd) such leave until they have completed seven (7) additional consecutive years after taking the first (1st) such leave. Any employee granted leave, under this section, shall be returned to the same or substantially equivalent position. Any employee who fails to return for duty on the expiration of long term leave upon the first (1st) working day following expiration of such agreements say that leave shall be deemed given for a “ reasonable time" or “ subject to have terminated his/her employment with company regulations," although 5 specify the District unless such delay is approved by the Board or unless the delay is due time, which ranges from 2 weeks to extenuating circumstances6 months. Employees on long term leave may be required to provide written notice of their intent to return thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the leave. If the stated reason for the leave is maintained, then the District would allow A few specifically forbid the employee to engage accept any outside employment during leave unless he has received company permission ahead of time. Most of the agreements say that personal business leave “ does not affect" seniority. Seniority, Lay-O ff, and Promotions SENIORITY Seniority provisions granting preferential treatment in promotion, lay-off, and rehiring, based on length of service, are found in all of the 21 agreements, and in all but 1 the unit to which seniority ap plies is defined. Sixteen agreements have both plant and depart ment seniority; the other 5 use various combinations of classifica tions— plant, division, and company-wide seniority. Before an employee can accumulate any seniority a probationary period ranging from 60 days to 6 months is required by most agree ments, with about half of them specifying 6 months. One (Deep Rock) requires 432 hours in 180 consecutive days. All agreements provide that after serving the probationary period, seniority dates from the hiring date. In petroleum refining there is a natural progression from the lower level jobs requiring considerable physical effort to the higher level jobs requiring ability and skill. It is customary for new men to start in the labor pool or yard gang. As the employee acquires seniority, he is upgraded into the lowest classified job in a department and upgraded thereafter to the more skilled jobs. While progressing from one classi fied job to another, and from one department to another, an employee acquires seniority in the different classifications or departments and also retains his seniority in the labor pool. His department seniority dates from his transfer to the department, while his company or plant seniority dates from his employment by the company. If he is laid off from his classified job in one of the departments, he can displace any junior employee in any department in which he has previously acquired seniority or in the labor pool. The usual way in which an employee acquires training and experi ence and demonstrates his ability to supplement said leavehandle the next highest job in his department is through acting as a relief worker during vacations, leave of absence, days off, or illness of the man regularly assigned to the job. HoweverDuring such temporary transfers to higher jobs, should it the employee accumu lates seniority in his own job. In a few agreements, provision is made for the worker to bid for relief jobs. Whether or not this is done, the senior man in line for the next promotion to the temporary vacancy is given the first preference. The Standard Oil (Cleveland) agreement provides for a bidding pool of 10 men to fill temporary or permanent vacancies in the higher level jobs. This pool is composed of “ extra board" men selected from the lower level jobs on the basis of plant seniority. During vacations, process employees on each shift move up along the line of promotion and an extra man is brought in, on the basis of seniority, at the bottom of the line. The Ashland agreement provides that one or more men shall be carried on the extra board for each seniority group and shall be trained for the lowest classified job in that group by working part time with an experienced man for a period to be determined by the District company. Most of the time they continue to work at their regular classification and are paid their regular rate or a training rate of 90 cents an hour, whichever is greater. When men from the extra board fill in for vacation, illness, or other relief, they get the regular rate for that said employee temporary job. This system of upgrading and retracking follows a definite job- progression scheme, with detailed charts 4showing these arrangements as part of the agreement; usually the men have the right to choose the department in which they wish their seniority to accumulate, and they then progress through the various classified jobs in that department. Seniority for women employees is engaged mentioned in only 2 agreements. One of these (Pennzoil) provides that they shall have seniority only among themselves in the same or substantially same employment lowest job classification in one department, and that he/she performs men can displace them. The other also permits men to dis place women in the Districtone department where they have seniority, then but it will provides that if they are transferred to other departments, they carry their plant seniority with them. A few agreements mention other employees who do not come under seniority provisions, for example, trainees, gatemen and guards, and, in the Gulf agreement, employees under 21 years of age. These workers, however, are not excluded from the bargaining unit. Loss of seniority.— Seniority rights are commonly lost by employees who quit, who are discharged, who fail to return within a specified time— from 24 hours to 15 days— when recalled to work after a lay-off, or who work elsewhere during a leave without company permission. Seniority is retained during periods of enforced lay-off, ranging from 90 days to 1 year. A few agreements relate the length of lay-off period during which seniority is retained to the employee’s previous length of service. One agreement (Union Oil) has a graduated plan: 90 days’ lay-off, without loss of seniority, after 1 year of service; 180 days, after 1 to 5 years of service; and 1 year’s lay-off after more than 5 years of service. Almost half the agreements limit the period of absence because of nonoccupational illness to 1 year, and specify that seniority shall accumulate during that time. Several agreements provide no time limits but merely state that there shall be deemed no loss of seniority during periods of illness or during absence because of occupational injury. Seniority lists are to be compiled and available at all times to the employee or his representative under the terms of all but 1 agreement. Six agreements require that said the lists must be revised at specified intervals, ranging from 90 days to 6 months. LAY-OFF AND REHIRING When activities are curtailed, a man transferred from his classified job in one department may displace any junior employee in that department or in any department in which he has seniority, or in the labor pool. Lay-offs are thus normally made from the labor pool, with the employee being laid off from the higher classifications, only if there are no junior men in the labor pool, or if an employee refuses to transfer to the labor pool, or, in a few cases, if he refuses a transfer to another division of the company. Consideration of ability is men tioned in only 3 agreements in connection with transfers to avoid lay off but is not mentioned in connection with rehiring, probably because employees are returning to jobs on which they have already had experience. Advance notice of lay-offs is required under 2 agreements: The Cities Service (Linden, N. J.) agreement provides that employees who have 4 months’ seniority shall have approximately 2 weeks’ advance notice of lay-off, while the Tidewater agreement requires 15 days’ notice or 15 days’ pay. One agreement (Deep Rock) requires a notice, with reason, if the company does not intend to rehire the em ployee and stipulates that the employee has abandoned his/her position 7 days in which to appeal to the grievance committee. Only 3 agreements mention transfers to other jobs as a result of war conditions. One of these (Humble) provides that if wartime operating units are shut down when the emergency ends, the workers shall return to the jobs from which they came, but they cannot displace em ployees with more seniority than themselves. Humble employees have divisional seniority in the higher-level jobs and said employment with company-wide seniority in that or any “ associated company” in the District will not be protectedlower-level jobs. The Labor/Management committee will determine policy for appropriate leaves status of absenceworkers who are required to transfer to other jobs because of a labor draft is mentioned in 2 agreements (Deep Rock and Wilshire). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood between the parties One merely says that any employee who is presently engaged in other employment outside the District, shall not be prohibited from continuing such employment while on an approved leave of absence. Employees appearing for Selective Service Physical Examination their seniority shall be granted governed by the time necessary to appear for said examination, including time necessary to travel to and from said examinations. Military Leaves of Absence: Military leave of absence without pay shall be granted to any employee who shall enter into active military service provisions of the United States as defined by Military Law #243. Employees on military leave shall be given law, while the benefit other provides for the accumula tion of any increment which would have been credited to them if they remained in active service seniority and the return of the transferred employee to the District, and all accumulated sick days acquired prior to entry into service will be reinstated. Family Medical Leave of Absence (FMLA): FMLA shall be permitted in accordance with job he had before leaving the District’s FMLA policy and applicable law. Such leaves shall be processed through the Department of Human Resourcescompany.
