Common use of Permanent Transfer Clause in Contracts

Permanent Transfer. In the case of voluntary transfers and voluntary transfer requests, the following shall apply: An employee requesting transfer to another facility and/or another shift must put his/her name on the departmental transfer list in accordance with the departmental procedures in order to be considered. The employee will indicate the facility or facilities and/or shifts for which he/she wishes to be considered. Such department list will be updated quarterly and an employee must submit his/her transfer request form by the last day of the month prior to the start of the new quarter. Captains and Counselor Supervisors may request a transfer to another facility and/or shift but not to a specific assignment at another facility. As the correctional facilities develop vacancies, the senior employee in the same classification whose name appears on the departmental transfer list for a particular facility and/or shift will be transferred. For purposes of the departmental transfer list, the UConn Health Center will be considered a separate facility from the Hartford Correctional Center and the Central Transportation Unit (specifically the positions of the shift supervisors in the base locations, but not the positions in the specialized or administrative assignments) will be considered as a correctional facility for purposes of the departmental transfer list. As correctional facilities develop vacancies in a position occupied by either a Captain or a Counselor Supervisor, the Employer shall transfer Captains and Counselor Supervisors according to the following procedure: When a vacancy on a shift occurs other than shift commander, captains and counselor supervisors assigned to that facility may be reevaluated at the discretion of the unit administrator including the classification of the vacant positions to be filled before the transfer list is utilized. However, no Captain who is shift commander may be involuntarily placed on another shift or position as a result of the process to fill the vacancy at the facility under this section. An employee must have completed the working test period in a bargaining unit classification to be eligible to be transferred to other facilities and/or shifts.
