Common use of Position Transfers Clause in Contracts

Position Transfers. Permanent position transfers are defined as moving from one department or location to another in the same or lower classification. The Employer agrees to post position transfers in accordance with Section 1. In the event that two or more bargaining unit employee applicants meet the minimum qualifications, as determined by Management and posted for any bargaining unit position (hereafter, the minimum qualifications), the employee with the greatest seniority shall be transferred. In the event there are no qualified applicants for the posted transfer, the Employer may transfer the lowest senior qualified employee currently in the posted classification. In cases of involuntary transfers to another department/location, the affected employee, within twelve (12) months from the date of transfer, shall have first priority to return to his/her former position if a vacancy occurs. The rate of pay for a transfer to a lower classification will be based on the position within the lower classification, commensurate with the employee’s seniority.
