Common use of Promotion Outside the Bargaining Unit Clause in Contracts

Promotion Outside the Bargaining Unit. A bargaining unit member in good standing who promotes to a City position outside the bargaining unit shall continue to accrue seniority with the bargaining unit for a period of six (6) months and may be returned or may elect to return within six (6) months of said promotion to his/her original position in the bargaining unit, without loss of seniority. Where a regular City employee is promoted into the bargaining unit, they will be subject to the sixty (60) day promotional period defined in “Article 11- Permanent Vacancies” rather than the six (6) month probationary period of new employees.
