Common use of TEMPORARY TRANSFERS AND SECONDARY ASSIGNMENTS Clause in Contracts

TEMPORARY TRANSFERS AND SECONDARY ASSIGNMENTS. A A temporary transfer is the assignment of an employee to a specific job for an extended but limited period of time. The temporary assignment may be needed to fill a vacancy or to complete a specific job assignment. Temporary transfers are posted, and all transportation employees have an opportunity to apply. B A secondary assignment is the regular assignment of a bus driver to a specific job. No vacancy is filled, and no posting shall occur. Secondary assignments are given to the most senior bus driver available providing that driver is capable of performing the work. C When a bus driver is assigned to the bus driver coordinator position on a short-term basis, he/she shall be paid the wage of the transportation/coordinator wage rate. D Experience gained during temporary transfer shall not be used to gain an advantage when candidates are evaluated for promotion to any job classification. However, such experience may be used to determine placement on the wage scale once an appointment has been made.
