Net Credited Service. SENIORITY 14.01 Net Credited Service shall mean "term of employment" as set forth in the pension plan applicable to employees covered by this Agreement. 14.02 Except as set forth in paragraphs 14.03 and 14.04 seniority shall be determined by the Net Credited Service of the employee affected. Where two (2) or more employees have the same Net Credited Service, the employee with the lowest last four (4) digits of social security number shall be considered the most senior. If two or more employees have the same last four social security number digits, the lowest middle two digits of the social security number will determine seniority. If numbers are identical to this point, the employees will be arranged alphabetically by last name. 14.03 An AT&T Midwest management employee who moves into the bargaining unit shall be granted seniority in the following manner. (A) An employee previously covered by any Ameritech, SBC or AT&T Collective Bargaining Agreement shall immediately be granted the amount of seniority established as of the date the previous bargaining unit employment ended.
