Definition and Use. 1. Seniority is defined as an employee’s length of continuous employment at the University. Seniority is computed from the date of employment in a regular position. Seniority includes authorized paid leave, leave without pay for up to thirty (30) days, and prior continuous service if reemployed within 120 days of separation or within six (6) months of layoff.

Upon written request to the Employee Relations Representative, a bargaining unit employee who has been denied a promotion or transfer, will be provided a written explanation for the denial of promotion or transfer, including referencing any source documentation utilized.
