Failure to Qualify. (a) Employees, after being awarded bulletined positions or permitted to exercise displacement rights, will be allowed 20 working days in which to demonstrate their ability to competently perform the job. Employees who are disqualified must immediately return to their former positions unless they have been abolished or permanently filled by senior employees, in which event they may exercise seniority over any junior employees, or any positions bulletined during their qualifying period to which their seniority entitles them. (b) Employees may be removed from positions at any time during the 20 day qualifying period if it becomes apparent that they do not possess the necessary ability and fitness to permit them to qualify. If employees feel they have been unjustly removed under this Rule they may grieve under Rule 25. (c) Employees will be given full cooperation of supervisors and employees in their efforts to qualify for positions.
