Common use of Reconfirmed in Position Clause in Contracts

Reconfirmed in Position. The parties agree that use of the Reconfirmation provisions will be maximised in terms of the following principles: i Where a position is to be transferred into a new structure or new agency, or there is a position in an existing agency, and where there is one Employee who is a clear candidate for that position and the criteria below are met, then that Employee is to be confirmed in it. ii The criteria for reconfirmation shall be as follows: (a) The new position statement describes work and responsibilities that are the same (or very nearly the same) as what the Employee currently does; (b) The salary for the new position is the same; (c) The new position has terms and conditions of employment agreed with the PSA which are no less favourable; (d) The location of the new position is the same (note: this need not necessarily mean the same building and/or the same street). iii In those situations where there is more than one clear candidate, the Chief Executive will consult to reach agreement with the PSA, and either: (a) the position will be advertised internally, with appointment made as per normal departmental appointment procedures; or (b) agreement will be reached amongst the candidates on which candidate(s) will transfer if there is a clear preference amongst potential candidates to uplift other options under this agreement.
