APPLICATIONS FOR POSTED POSITIONS. (a) The Employer shall endeavour to fill posted positions from Union applicants who have successfully completed the probationary period. Seniority (up to and including the closing date of the posting) shall be the determining factor when selecting the successful applicant(s), whenever two (2) or more applicants have the necessary qualifications, experience and ability to perform the required duties of the position(s). (b) Subsequent to the first working day of any school year, applications for posted positions, which begin within that same school year, from Employees who have already successfully bid into two (2) positions within that same school year, may be set aside in favor of an application from a less senior applicant. (c) If there is no qualified Union applicant, the Employer may fill the position from outside the bargaining unit. (d) All Union applicants will be notified of the disposition of the posting within ten (10) days of the closing date. The successful applicant will be placed in the position on a date to be determined by the Employer. In determining the effective date, the emotional and mental well-being of the student(s) and the Employee and the needs of the school(s) shall all be given due consideration. The Employer may appoint a casual Employee to new or vacant positions (from existing Employees or those Employees on lay-off, if possible), until such time as the Employer transfers the successful applicant. (e) The President of the Union will be notified of the disposition of the posting and provided with a list of all Union applicants within ten (10) days of the closing date.
