Common use of Section 8.2 Clause in Contracts

Section 8.2. 25 Each new hire shall remain on a probationary status for a period of not more than seventy-five (75) days 26 of work following the hiring date. During this probationary period, the District may discharge such 27 employee without recourse. Such discharge is not subject to the grievance procedure. Employees will not 28 be granted a transfer to another position within the bargaining unit during the probationary period, unless 29 an exception is granted by mutual agreement between the District and the Association. 31 Employees who apply for and are transferred to a new position within their classification (i.e., transfer to 32 a different paraeducator or nutrition services position within school or at different school) or within the 33 bargaining unit will serve a trial period of sixty (60) workdays. During this sixty (60) day trial period, if 34 the employee’s performance does not meet expectations, the District may transfer the employee back to 35 their prior position if the position still exists and has not been filled by an employee (does not count as 36 “filled” if position held by a substitute). If the position no longer exists or has been filled as described 37 above, the employee will be placed on the re-employment list for recall pursuant to Section 8.11. The 38 employee may elect to voluntarily revert to their former position if they make a written request to do so 39 within fifteen (15) calendar days of beginning the new position, provided the former position still exists 40 and remains vacant (a position is “vacant” if filled by a substitute). Employees will be advised of their 41 right to voluntarily revert to their prior position in the memo sent by Human Resources addressing their 42 change in positions. Employees will not normally be granted a transfer to another position with the same 43 rate of pay during this sixty (60) workday trial service period unless the transfer represents a gain of one 44 (1) daily hour of time or more, or unless otherwise agreed by the District.
