Common use of RETURN TO PREVIOUS POSITION Clause in Contracts

RETURN TO PREVIOUS POSITION. This language applies only to bids awarded as a transfer or voluntary demotions. If the employee who was awarded the bid for the vacant position changes his/her mind and desires to return to their original position, they have up to seven (7) work days from the effective date of the job change to notify the Director of the Shawnee County Health Department in writing. Upon notification, the Director of the Health Department will return the employee to their original position without loss of seniority, and award the bid to the next senior person bidding from the current list. During this seven (7) work day trial period the employer may also return the employee to their original position without loss of seniority, with the approval of the Director of Human Resources. If the employer is returning the employee to his/her original position, the employee will notify the Union the reason for the return. After seven (7) days the new position is permanent. An employee may request a return to a previous position only once during a payroll year.
