LOCATION AND SHIFT BIDDING a. Permanent employees in a class may submit bids for desired work locations or shifts to which positions in the class are assigned. Such bids shall be submitted to the department which employs the positions. The department shall retain such requests for at least one (1) year. The department will first consider seniority and may select from the bid requests when filling vacancies in such positions. Vacancies may be filled from civil service eligible lists, transfer, or reassignment if not filled from among those who bid.
LOCATION AND SHIFT BIDDING. Permanent employees shall have the right to bid for shifts and/or desired work locations when the respective department plans to fill a vacancy. Bids shall be awarded based upon the needs of the department's Mission with in-class seniority as the determining factor when, as determined exclusively by the department applicable skills are equivalent. Employees who successfully bid into a shift must remain on that shift for one year before becoming eligible to make a subsequent bid. The appropriate department shall post available assignments for a period of not less than five (5) work days prior to the bid. Employees eligible to bid will submit their bids on a form prescribed by the department in which the bid is to take place. The affected department shall have the authority to deny a bid based upon bona fide EEO or ADA considerations for clearly articulated operational reasons. If no bids are received and management still wants the assignment filled, it will be assigned at the discretion of the department. Any subsequent vacancy that results from a successful bid will not be subject to bidding.
