Involuntary Reassignment a. Involuntary reassignment shall mean a District-initiated reassignment from one school or site to another. The District and Association recognize the need for some reassignments of SSP Employees may be unavoidable. It is agreed that involuntary reassignment should be held to a minimum, and involuntary reassignments should not result in an assignment of an SSP Employee to a position for which they are not qualified by academic preparation or license. b. All District-initiated reassignment(s) must be completed before the voluntary reassignment process will begin. c. The involuntary reassignment of an SSP Employee should be used to best meet the needs of all students in the District, and every reasonable effort should be made to ensure continuity and consistency in assignments. Maintaining open communication with the affected SSP Employees(s) is encouraged to help reduce the stress associated with involuntary reassignment. d. In order to ensure the most transparent and effective reassignment process, SSP Employees and administrators should expedite the identification of vacancies that become available through normal attrition (e.g., retirements or resignations) as well as increases to staffing. e. In an effort to provide clarity and transparency for the need for involuntary reassignment, the appropriate District department leader, or designee, will determine staffing needs at a school or site based on meeting the needs of the District’s strategic plan. i. Should there be more than one qualified SSP Employee eligible for reassignment from a building or site, there will be a request for volunteer(s) to be reassigned. If no SSP Employee volunteers to be reassigned, the District and the Association agree that meeting the needs of students should be the guiding factor in making a decision on reassignment. ii. The District will make a good faith effort not to reassign an SSP Employee more than once in any three-year period. This should not prohibit an SSP Employee from voluntary reassignment. iii. Any SSP Employee currently on a Directed Improvement Plan (DIP) or Remediation Plan may be reassigned following communication between the District department leader, or designee, the SSP Employee, their own designated representative, and the affected principal/supervisor. In all instances where the SSP Employee is reassigned, they will continue to be subject to the DIP or Remediation Plan. f. The appropriate District department leader, or designee, will preliminarily inform the Office of Human Resources of the potential need for involuntary reassignment. Within five (5) days of the Office of Human Resources confirming the need for involuntary reassignment, the appropriate District department leader, or designee, must notify the affected SSP Employee(s), the principal(s), the Office of Human Resources and the Cherry Creek Education Association (CCEA) in writing of the assignments (e.g., school, percent of contract affected) requiring involuntary reassignment. These notices will contain the reason(s) for involuntary reassignment in writing. g. Any SSP Employee being involuntarily reassigned may request the Superintendent, or designee, to review the recommendation for reassignment. If within one (1) year, a similar position arises at the SSP Employee’s previous school or site, the employee will be given an opportunity to return if they desire. h. Once notified of the need for involuntary reassignments by the appropriate District department leader, or designee, the affected SSP Employee will still have the opportunity to pursue voluntary reassignment.
Voluntary Redundancy a) With the exception of areas where there is only one position under review, the employer will call for expressions of interest from kaimahi within the area of review who wish to volunteer for redundancy to cover the surplus/es positions that have been identified. b) Should the number of volunteers exceed the number of surpluses, the employer will apply selection criteria as defined in clause 12.7 to determine whose application for redundancy will be accepted. c) Should the number of volunteers not exceed the number of identified surpluses, the employer will accept all expressions of interest from those who have volunteered subject to the operational requirements of the employer. d) Should there be no volunteers or insufficient volunteers to discharge the surplus, the employer shall then apply the criteria set out in clause 11.7 to identify the kaimahi to be declared surplus.
Involuntary Demotion An employee assigned to a lower rated position shall continue to be paid at the employee's current rate of pay until the rate of pay in the new position equals or exceeds it.
Voluntary Resignation without Good Reason The Executive may voluntarily terminate employment without Good Reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive shall be entitled to any Accrued Obligations.
Involuntary Termination “Involuntary Termination” shall mean (i) without the Employee’s express written consent, the significant reduction of the Employee’s duties or responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that a reduction in duties or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Financial Officer of Company remains as such following a Change of Control and is not made the Chief Financial Officer of the acquiring corporation) shall not constitute an “Involuntary Termination”; (ii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a material reduction by the Company in the Base Compensation or Target Incentive of the Employee as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the ineligibility of the Employee to continue to participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits to which the Employee is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the Employee’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced; (v) the relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than 50 miles from the Employee’s then present location, without the Employee’s express written consent; (vi) any purported termination of the Employee by the Company which is not effected for death or Disability or for Cause; or (vii) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement by any successors contemplated in Section 10 below.
