Seniority Ties. All seniority ties will be broken by lot. The affected employees may be present when a representative from Human Resources, along with the President of the local PSE chapter (or designee) perform this procedure.
Seniority Ties. Ties in seniority shall first be resolved by considering the total continuous service hours in the unit employee's current class series. Ties which cannot be resolved on this basis shall be resolved by considering the total continuous service hours served at the current level. If ties still remain, they shall be resolved by adding the last four (4) digits of the unit employee's identification number, with the lowest sum indicating the greatest seniority.
Seniority Ties. If two or more employees within a classification have equal seniority, their job efficiency based on the employee’s evaluation shall determine the bumping order. If through the evaluation process ties still remain, a coin flip will determine the bumping order.
Seniority Ties. In the event the total number of years of certificated experience in Washington State ties in seniority, such seniority ties shall be resolved in the following sequence:
Seniority Ties. Ties in seniority will be broken by measuring the employee’s last continuous time within their classification. If the tie remains, seniority will be determined by measuring the employee’s last continuous time at the University. If the tie remains, seniority will be determined by measuring the employee’s total accumulated time with the state. If the tie remains, seniority will be determined by lot.
Seniority Ties. Two or more unit members with the same seniority shall have the tie broken by using each unit member’s hire date (month and day) in the classification. In the event that a tie still exists, the last four digits of the unit member’s social security number shall determine seniority order (with the highest number being the highest seniority). This seniority rank shall be reflected on the seniority list and a record of such shall be placed in each affected employees’ personnel file.
Seniority Ties. If two or more employees have the same job classification seniority, the tie will be broken, first, by system-wide seniority and, next, by a flip of a coin or other method agreed upon by the affected members. Any seniority ties broken by flip of a coin or by another method agreed upon by the affected members will be memorialized and placed in the affected members' personnel files to ensure the seniority ranking between those employees is honored for the remainder of their employment.
Seniority Ties. All seniority ties will be broken by lot. The affected employees will be present when a representative from Human Resources, along with the President of the local PSE chapter or a representative, perform this procedure. Seniority Preferences, Strict Seniority The employee with the earliest seniority date (greatest seniority) shall have preferential rights regarding the following personnel actions: shift selection, vacation periods, and special service hours (including overtime and the right to refuse overtime). These rights shall, however, be applicable only within individual departments or job assignments in which bargaining unit members are ordinarily considered to be fungible. With regards to vacation scheduling, the intent of this subsection is that senior employees have preferential but not absolute rights to vacation requests for days surrounding major holidays. Individual departments may develop and implement reasonable rules to insure an equitable approach to vacation scheduling surrounding major holidays. Layoff Seniority Rights Time spent in layoff status will not be considered a break in service if the employee is recalled to work from a layoff list. Upon recall from a layoff list, an employee’s seniority date will be adjusted by the period of time the employee spent in layoff status. Employees on layoff status must provide the Employer’s Human Resources Department with their current contact information, including mailing and email address. Employees in layoff status will be notified by email about job openings within the bargaining unit.
Seniority Ties. In the event more than one employee has the same seniority date, seniority ranking shall be determined by a random drawing conducted by the Union. The School District will have the right to have a representative present during the drawing.
Seniority Ties. All questions of seniority shall be determined by the Union. When two or more employees first commence paid service on the same date, they shall draw numbers in a lottery to determine their positions on VTA and the first classification seniority lists. The lottery shall be conducted by the Union. A VTA representative may be present at the drawing at VTA's request. The Union shall inform VTA of its determinations of seniority.
