Common use of Transfer Language Clause in Contracts

Transfer Language.

The Employer will be fair and reasonable in considering requests for a transfer. Requests shall be considered on the basis of seniority provided the merit, fitness and ability are relatively equal among employees requesting a transfer. An employee will be limited to one (1) such transfer per life of the current collective agreement. Employees granted a transfer will be on probation for a period of up to three hundred (300) hours to demonstrate their ability to perform the work in satisfactory manner. In the event they are unable to perform satisfactory in the new position, they shall be returned to their previous position, rate of pay and class hours, where appropriate. All employees transferring under this article will be permitted to exercise their seniority in the new department. There may be occasions where the one (1) year service requirement and/or the one (1) transfer limit per life of the collective agreement may be waived at the discretion of the Management.
