Common use of Grant Positions Clause in Contracts

Grant Positions. Grant positions are defined as positions that have alternate funding from sources outside of the Public Health Trust. Grant positions are typically funded for specific periods of time and for specific amounts of money that cover wages and benefits. Grant positions can be full-time (scheduled for 40 hours per week) or part-time (scheduled for 30 to 35 hours per week or scheduled for under 30 hours per week). The seniority and status of employees in classifications covered by this collective bargaining agreement shall be unaffected by the source of funding, whether by grant or otherwise. As such, grant funded employees shall be provided with the same rights as all other employees covered by this collective bargaining agreement. Permanent full-time employees who have been voluntarily or involuntarily assigned to grant positions that are later eliminated due to loss of funding shall be transferred to comparable positions in accordance with Public Health Trust policy and this collective bargaining agreement. Such employees shall not be required to serve a new probationary period.
