Priority consideration Clause Samples

Priority consideration. A. For the purposes of this Article, a priority consideration is the genuine consideration for noncompetitive selection given to an employee as the result of a previous failure to properly consider the employee for selection because of procedural, regulatory, or program violations. Employees will receive one priority consideration for each instance of improper consideration. A priority consideration does not give the employee a right or guarantee to be selected for any vacancy. B. The procedures for processing priority consideration(s) shall be: 1. An eligible employee will be notified in writing by the SPO of entitlement to each priority consideration. Such notice will advise the employee that if a vacancy is announced and the employee wishes to exercise his/her priority consideration, he/she should submit the necessary application to the SPO with a written request that he/she wishes priority consideration for the vacancy. 2. Priority consideration is to be exercised by the selecting official at the option of the employee for an appropriate vacancy(s). An appropriate vacancy is one for which the employee is interested, is eligible, and which leads to the same grade level of the vacancy for which proper consideration was not given. 3. Prior to the referral of eligible candidates to the selecting official, the name(s) of the employee(s) requesting to exercise priority consideration will be referred to the selecting official. The selecting official will make a determination on the request prior to evaluating other candidates for the vacancy. 4. An employee's election to exercise a priority consideration does not preclude that employee from also filing an application as specified in the vacancy announcement. 5. In order to ensure compliance with this Section, the Union will be furnished statistics on priority considerations granted, exercised, and the results. Statistics will be kept and provided to the Union on a quarterly basis. The Union will also be notified in writing of each individual priority consideration completed.
