Common use of Replacement team Clause in Contracts

Replacement team. 1. The replacement team is composed of employees who have been laid off and have job security as stipulated in clause 15.03. The replacement team is used to fill positions temporarily without their incumbents, meet temporary work overloads, perform work of a limited duration or for any other reason agreed upon locally by the parties, providing that the employees meet the normal requirements of the job. When an employee works in a replacement, she is entitled to the provi- sions of the collective agreement. However, in this case, her remunera- tion may not be less than the layoff allowance stipulated in clause 15.03. 2. An employee may also be temporarily assigned to a comparable vacant or newly created part-time position, for which she meets the normal requirements of the job, with a number of hours that is less than the regular number of hours of the position she held. For the term of the assignment, the position is not posted and is not subject to the provi- sions on voluntary transfers. The employee thus assigned temporarily continues to be covered by the provisions of this article. She remains registered on the replacement team to complete her workweek. 3. Employees on the replacement team are assigned by inverse order of seniority and to a comparable position. Employees registered on the replacement team are assigned in priority to employees on the availabil- ity list. However, priority for an assignment to a full-time position is given to a full-time employee, regardless of the seniority of part-time employees. 4. An employee on the replacement team cannot refuse an assignment proposed by the Employer. However, she can be unavailable two (2) days per week. The Employer informs the employee at least seven (7) days in advance of the dates of these two (2) days off. An employee who refuses the proposed assignment is deemed to have resigned.
