Seniority Transfer Clause Samples
A Seniority Transfer clause establishes the rules and conditions under which an employee's length of service or seniority can be transferred from one position, department, or employer to another. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, the process for recognizing prior service, and any limitations or exceptions, such as transfers within the same organization or between affiliated entities. Its core practical function is to ensure that employees retain certain benefits or rights tied to their seniority, such as vacation accrual or layoff protection, even after moving to a new role or employer, thereby promoting fairness and continuity.
Seniority Transfer. (a) A nurse’s full seniority and service shall be retained by the nurse in the event that the nurse is transferred from full-time to part-time or in the event the nurse is transferred from casual to regular part-time or vice- versa.
Seniority Transfer. The seniority date shall be transferred between full and part-time lists whenever the employee's classification is changed. Short-term and long-term substitutes do not earn seniority.
Seniority Transfer. Section (1) Seniority Lists will be maintained by MTA at each Division, Operating Department, Non-Operating Department, or Group which constitutes a separate unit for the purpose of assignment of work. The name of each employee permanently appointed to or permanently transferred to a Group will be added to the Seniority List thereof.
(a) MTA seniority dates from the date of employment, following which service has been continuous. The time spent training as an operator will not be counted as service for purpose of determining the time of increases in gradation pay.
(b) As is provided above, MTA seniority of an employee relates to service that has been continuous; and in the case of an employee who has had more than one (1) period of service, so that all of his/her service has not been continuous, his/her MTA seniority relates only to the last period of service. MTA seniority shall accrue and continue to accrue hereafter only from last period of employment. When an employee is temporarily transferred to any other position in MTA, his/her name will remain on the Seniority List in his/her Group and he/she will retain his/her Department seniority. An employee temporarily transferred will not acquire any new seniority for the position to which he/ she is temporarily transferred. The word temporarily is to be defined as fifteen (15) work days.
Section (3) In cases where seniority of two (2) or more employees dates from the first day of work, the ties will be resolved as follows:
(a) For ties in Department seniority, MTA seniority will control.
(b) For ties in MTA seniority, the times of the appointments will be taken where they can be ascertained from MTArecords, and the earlier time shall take precedence. In the event the times of appointment cannot be ascertained from MTArecords, ties in MTA seniority will be resolved on alphabetical basis.
(a) If an employee is forced, by act of MTA, to permanently transfer to another Group, he/she will carry with him/her, into his/her new Group, the same seniority that he/she would have had, had he/she not been forced to so transfer.
(b) If an employee who has been permanently transferred is later returned to his/her former position by an act of MTA, he/she will resume the same seniority with respect to his/her former position that he/she would have had if he/she had remained there and not been so permanently transferred; but if he/she later voluntarily returns to his/her former position, he/she will not resume his/her same s...
