Position Vacancy. When there exists a vacancy for a position in the bargaining unit which will be filled by the Hospital, the position shall be posted on the designated Hospital electronic postings for a period of six (6) working days (excluding weekends and holidays). If there are two (2) or more applicants for the position, the Hospital will give due consideration to skill, qualifications, ability, and seniority, and, where the skill, qualifications, and ability among applicants are relatively equal, preference will be given on the basis of seniority. The Hospital will give preference to a qualified bargaining unit Nurse who applies to fill a posted vacancy a minimum of one time out of every four posted vacancies within each unit and will provide a written progress report on a quarterly basis to the Union President. Assigning home units within Case Management will first be distributed from within the current case management staff before hiring a new person to a home location.

The Hospital will attempt to complete the interviews as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances. The Hospital will provide notice to the applicants and the Union President or his/her designee of the awarding of the position within four (4) weeks of the conclusion of the interviews. The Hospital will thereafter place the successful applicant in the new position as soon as is feasible under the circumstances, but, in any event, no later than two (2) months after awarding the position. If a vacant position is not filled by the Hospital within four (4) months of the initial posting, and the Hospital still intends to fill the position, the position will be re-posted in accordance with this Section. The Hospital will make every effort to post vacated twelve (12) hour positions as twelve (12) hour positions.
