Selection & Placement. The final responsibility for selection shall rest with the Employer, but an aggrieved employee may pursue any alleged arbitrary or discriminatory decision under the grievance procedure. It is the intent of the Parties that an employee selected for a bulletined vacancy will be placed in this new position not later than six weeks after their notification of selection. If after six weeks the employee has not been placed in their new position, they will be paid as if they were in the new position in those cases where a higher rate of pay is involved. The foregoing shall not apply where the delay is ascribable to an employee. Unsuccessful applicants to bulletined jobs will be notified by the Employer of the name and classification of the successful applicants. Seven (7) calendar days from the date of receipt of such notice shall be allowed for an employee to serve the Employer with written notice of their intention to grieve the decision. Where a grievance has been lodged, no permanent transfers or placements shall take effect until such grievance, alleging an inappropriate selection, has been processed through Stage 2 of the grievance procedure, or six weeks from the date of selection notification, whichever is the shorter period of time. Upon receipt of notification of intention to grieve the Employer shall forward to the Local Union copies of applications received on the bulletin in question for review.
