Licensed Operators and Trainees Clause Samples

Licensed Operators and Trainees. It is at the Employer’s sole discretion to increase an Operator to the next classification upon achievement of the next license level. This determination is based on budgetary allowances and restrictions. There is no requirement for an Operator C to move to the Operator B wage, nor an Operator B to move to an Operator A wage at the time of achievement. An Operator Trainee must complete all course work, log all required hours, and pass all tests to become a licensed Operator with the state of Florida within three years from date of hire in the position. Failure to achieve such license in the specified timeframe will result in disqualification from the position and termination of employment. The Employer may consider the employee for any other vacant position within the UC, if the employee is qualified. There is no requirement on the part of the Employer to retain a trainee who cannot meet and pass the qualifications of the position. Promotions under this Section are not subject to the Job Posting and Bidding Process. The positions, however, may be posted as a courtesy only, at the sole discretion of the Employer.
