Seniority Usage Clause Samples
Seniority Usage. In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, seniority shall be used for paid time off (PTO) leave scheduling, shift assignments, and position openings by using departmental seniority first, and then, if there is a tie, using hospital seniority (i.e., person with greatest seniority gets preference). If such seniority is equal, then the Employer shall decide the outcome.
Seniority Usage. The employee with the earliest hire date shall receive preferential treatment regarding route package selection, shift selection, vacation periods, promotions, assignments, transfers, layoffs, and special assignments when ability and performance are substantially equal to those of employees junior to him/her. If the District determines that seniority rights should not govern in the latter cases above, because a junior employee possesses ability and performance substantially greater than a senior employee or employees, the District shall set forth in writing to the senior employee or employees who applied for the job the reason why the senior employee or employees have been bypassed.
