Temporary Vacancies 14.12.1 Surplus employees shall be eligible for assignment into temporary assignments in their own Ministry that are posted for recruitment in accordance with Article 7 in the last two (2) months of their notice provided that: (a) The employee applies for and indicates on his or her application for the vacancy that they have received notice of layoff and are eligible for a temporary assignment; and (b) He or she is qualified for the position. Such assignments are meant to provide additional employment opportunities for surplus employees prior to lay-off. Where more than one surplus employee matches the temporary assignment, the employee with greater seniority shall be offered the temporary assignment. It is understood that such assignment of a surplus employee to a temporary vacancy has priority over Article 8.11 (Temporary Assignments). 14.12.2 A surplus employee shall retain his / her status in the regular service and current salary entitlements while placed in a temporary assignment. Placement in a temporary assignment will not constitute a promotion for pay purposes. Subject to Sub-article 14.12.1, for placement into temporary assignments, the Employer shall use the same criteria and rules as for assignment into vacancies under Article 14.4 (Targeted Direct Assignment). 14.12.3 An offer of a temporary assignment to a surplus employee must be in writing and must specify the duration of the temporary assignment. The surplus employee shall have five (5) working days in which to accept or reject the offer of a temporary assignment. 14.12.4 The original temporary assignment may be extended by a maximum of three (3) months. 14.12.5 When a temporary assignment takes place, the employee shall not be unreasonably denied the opportunity to complete any portion of training already underway. Surplus employees who refuse a temporary assignment shall continue to be considered for assignment into permanent vacancies for the duration of their surplus notice period, but not for further temporary assignments. 14.12.6 Where an employee accepts a temporary assignment or secondment under Article 14.12, it shall be considered to be a hiatus in their notice period under Article 14.3.8 for the duration of their temporary assignment and all redeployment activities shall cease. Notwithstanding the hiatus, the employee may continue to identify and be considered for vacancies under Article 14. 4.1. At the end of the temporary assignment or secondment, the balance of the notice period, as well as all redeployment activities, shall resume.
Temporary Vacancy A vacancy in a position caused by the regularly assigned occupant being absent from duty (including on vacation but excluding pre-retirement vacation) or temporarily assigned to other duties.
Promotional Probationary Period For a permanent worker who changes job classification due to promotion (except as noted in Section 7.2.5), probation shall be for six months, unless the worker is released from the new job before this time. At the end of the second month on the new job, the worker shall receive a written evaluation of his/her performance and progress towards permanency. The worker retains permanent status in the District and is only probationary in the new job. If he/she is released from the new job during the six-month probationary period, the Director of Human Resources shall assign the worker to a position in the class in which he/she holds permanency. He/she will be reinstated as a permanent worker, and his/her seniority at the higher position shall be credited to his/her seniority in the lower class. Workers who successfully complete probation shall have their annual step date adjusted to reflect the six-month probationary period.
