Common use of Newly Hired Employee Clause in Contracts

Newly Hired Employee. Newly hired employees shall be considered to be on probation for a period of sixty (60) tours worked from date of last hire (four hundred and fifty [450] hours of work for employees whose regular hours of work are other than the standard workday). If retained after the probationary period, the employee shall be credited with seniority from the date of last hire. With the written consent of CAMH, the probationary employee and the President of the Local Union or his designate, such probationary period may be extended. It is understood and agreed that any extension to the probationary period will not exceed an additional sixty (60) tours (four hundred and fifty [450] hours of work for employees whose regular hours of work are other than the standard work day) worked or such lesser period as may be agreed by the parties. During the probationary period, the employee shall be entitled to all rights under this Agreement unless specifically amended by this Agreement or by the terms dictated by benefit plan carriers. The release of a probationary employee shall not be the subject of a grievance or arbitration. Employees are not eligible to compete for job vacancies until after their probationary period has been successfully concluded.
