Common use of Voluntary Transfers and Promotions Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Transfers and Promotions. (Employee Initiated) When a new position is established or an existing position becomes vacant and is not abolished, the District shall post the vacancy for no less than five (5) workdays in places routinely visited by employees, through announcements generally distributed to employees, and on the District web page. Permanent, non-probationary employees are eligible for voluntary transfer and promotion, provided they meet the minimum qualifications for the position, and must apply in writing within the time allowed on the notice to the Director of Human Resource Services or designee. Employees serving an initial probationary period are not eligible for voluntary transfer and promotion. The notice of a vacancy shall clearly state the position that is vacant. The notice of a vacancy also shall provide sufficient information about the position which will provide reasonable opportunity to employees to determine whether they should apply for the vacancy. The notice of vacancy shall include the hours, work year, salary range, job classification, and funding source if it is a categorically-funded position. The District may not post a notice of vacancy whenever an employee is to be transferred to avoid a layoff or a reduction in hours. Employees who have applied for promotions shall receive a response from the District regarding the status of their application; after the position has been filled, the applicant shall be notified of his/her status. An employee who is promoted to a higher classification shall be placed at the lowest step in the new classification grade range which will provide at least a five percent (5%) increase in salary.
