Common use of Training data Clause in Contracts

Training data. 1. The Employer will provide quarterly reports to the Union’s Chief ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ regarding training data. This report will include: (1) training authorized for bargaining unit employees by Division; (2) title, series, and grade of bargaining unit employees who received such training; and (3) direct costs authorized for such training. 2. The fiscal year budget request for training, when submitted, and the subsequent allocation, when received, for ORO and OSTI will be provided to the Union upon request. Decisions on approval or denial for training requests should be based on consideration of training as a means to: (a) assist employees to develop the specific skills needed to perform effectively in their current job assignments; or (b) build skills and knowledge to prepare employees to perform broader or more demanding job assignments in the future. If the employee disagrees with the supervisor’s decision to deny training, the employee may contact the Union and the Union will discuss the issue with the Principal Management Contact in an attempt to resolve the disagreement before any grievance is filed. Training that may lead to a job with promotion potential will only be filled through competitive selection.
