Common use of BID PROCEDURE Clause in Contracts

BID PROCEDURE. 17.01 When a vacancy occurs in a classification or an assignment that the Board has determined to fill, it shall be posted on the District’s website, and a copy will be sent to the OAPSE President. Vacancies will also be emailed to employees and any employee may request the vacant position in writing or on-line. In selecting the replacement employee the following formula shall apply: A. The vacant position shall be first offered to an employee within the classification of the position. B. If an employee within the same classification requests a posted position in writing, the employee with the greatest classification seniority shall be awarded the position. C. The highest seniority date shall be determined by the employee’s department seniority. D. If no other qualified interested member within the classification is interested in the position, then it will be filled by the most qualified applicant within the Department. Qualifications shall be the determining factor in filling an opening. Qualifications for a position shall be determined by the Administration in accordance with the minimum qualifications in the Job Description. Qualifications for a position, once established, shall not be altered in such a manner as to contravene the intent of this Article by giving incident qualifications emphasis for the purpose of denying a position to an otherwise qualified person (e.g. a person who possesses the skills and training required to use an Advanced Word Processing program shall not be disqualified merely because the position requires the use of a slightly different program, where the applicant could quickly learn to use the program). If the position is not filled by employees within the classification or department, the position may be filled by the most qualified applicant. E. Except those occurring from a termination or a new position to be filled, vacancies will be posted within two weeks and filled within 25 working days of the posting. F. The Board has no obligation to employ a bargaining unit member in more than one position. However, when an employee holds a second position with the District, they may not remove themselves from their primary position to assume duties in the secondary position. For example, an employee hired as an aide may not utilize leave or arrange to alter scheduled working hours to take a field trip in a secondary position as a bus driver.
