Common use of Mandatory Transfer Clause in Contracts

Mandatory Transfer. The Union acknowledges the right of the District to assign employees work locations and duties. However, when there is to be a substantial change in work place or assignment, (except in emergency situations) an employee will be given a minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice. The District will post notices to seek qualified volunteers before requiring a mandatory transfer in circumstances where the reason for the transfer is filling a particular vacancy. Volunteers need not be sought where the reason for the transfer is to remove an employee from a specific assignment. If an employee is to be reassigned, the District agrees to confer with representatives of the Union to discuss the reasons and alternatives explored before reassigning the employee.
