TRANSFERS, PROMOTIONS, AND FILLING VACANT POSITIONS. 9.1 Whenever a vacancy occurs in a position the Employer intends to fill in any bargaining unit, a notice of such vacancy shall be posted on bulletin boards, or electronic bulletin boards where used, normally used for communicating with bargaining unit employees in the Agency or specific facility in which the vacancy exists stating the job title, description, qualifications, shift, designated days off, and work area, date of availability, pay range, and closing date for applications. Exclusions to vacancy posting relating to specific agencies may be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. Postings will be made in one or more of the following ways: Internal Posting meaning internal within the Agency; State Internal Posting meaning any permanent Classified System employee may apply; or External Posting meaning State and non-State employees may apply. Upon posting applicants may apply for the position in writing for a period of not less than seven calendar days. The Employer shall fill job vacancies using factors of: a) knowledge, experience, and ability; b) any job related tests, c), background/reference checks, d) agency budget/financial considerations, and e) Veteran's preference, which shall be applied consistently among applicants. Where applicants rate substantially the same on such factors, permanent state employee applicants shall be selected, and where two state employee applicants rate substantially the same, the more senior employee shall be selected by using the employee’s continuous State service date. (Department of Transportation employees covered by this Contract see Appendix D for vacancy posting provisions.)
