Without Qualifications Sample Clauses

Without Qualifications. In the event the Employer is unable to find a suitable qualified candidate through the job posting procedure, the Employer may hire new or appoint current employees without educational qualifications as required by the job description, provided that such employees make a written commitment to acquire the necessary educational qualifications within five (5) calendar years. These employees will be hired at one job grade lower than is stated on the job description. They will move through the steps of that grid upon their anniversary date as provided for in the Collective Agreement. Once educational qualifications have been completed satisfactorily within the five (5) calendar years, they will move to the job grade stated on the job description, and at the same step position as on the lower grade grid. Should an employee hired under a hiring agreement requiring her to obtain the required qualifications within five (5) calendar years fail to acquire the required qualifications within the five (5) years, she shall be placed on an unpaid leave of absence for up to one (1) calendar year without benefits or seniority accrual to obtain the required qualifications she committed to obtaining in the initial letter of offer and acceptance. Should such an employee fail to acquire the required qualifications during the calendar year, she shall lose all seniority.
