Vacancies and Postings. A. When a vacancy occurs or a new position is created within the unit, within thirty (30) workdays the position shall be posted for all bargaining unit employees for five (5) workdays unless it is used in relation to an involuntary transfer as referenced below or is filled through a contracted service pursuant to the “Letter of Agreement Regarding Contracted Service”. New position is defined as an on-going position (i.e. is not temporary) that previously did not exist. This 30-day provision may be extended by the Director of Food Services upon providing written notice to the Union relative to the reason for such an extension. All cafeteria employees are eligible to apply for a posted position by written note to the Director of Food Services. Should bargaining unit employees so apply, the Director of Food Services will determine which bargaining unit employee is best suited for transfer unless, after such posting, the position is filled through a contracted service pursuant to the “Letter of Agreement Regarding Contracted Service”. In making his/her judgment regarding which bargaining unit employee is best suited for transfer, the Director of Food Services will consider such factors as each employee’s previous work experience and performance as a bargaining unit employee and the needs of the school in which the vacancy exists. If, after such consideration, the Director of Food Services determines that all factors are equal, the most senior bargaining unit member will be transferred.
