Common use of Transfer to a Non-Bargaining Unit Position Clause in Contracts

Transfer to a Non-Bargaining Unit Position. If an employee covered by this Agreement is or was in the past permanently transferred or promoted to a non-bargaining unit position with the Employer he shall retain his seniority as of the date of the transfer or promotion and he shall, for a period of six (6) months, continue to accumulate additional seniority within the bargaining unit set forth in this Agreement while he is in the non-bargaining unit position. During the first six (6) months immediately following an employee’s transfer or promotion to a non-bargaining unit position, the Employer may demote the employee to his former classification or the employee may request in writing to be relieved of his former classification. The Employer reserves the right to determine all conditions of employment for non-bargaining unit employees, including the right to determine whether or not an employee be returned to the bargaining unit. Should an employee be returned to the bargaining unit, his seniority shall be reinstated upon the date of his return and he shall thereafter begin to accumulate additional seniority again. After an employee has been outside the bargaining unit in excess of nine (9) months, his bargaining unit seniority shall be canceled and he shall no longer be permitted to return to the bargaining unit with seniority.
