Common use of Request for Assessment Clause in Contracts

Request for Assessment. Within four (4) weeks of having received a lay‐off notice in accordance with Article 24.02, the affected employee may request an assessment of his/her demonstrated knowledge, skill and ability in one other Division (or equivalent) chosen by the employee. The assessment will be against the remaining work performed by employees in the bargaining unit at the same or lower classification level in that Division (or equivalent). If the employee in receipt of a lay‐off notice is found to have superior demonstrated knowledge, skill and ability to a current employee in that Division (or equivalent), then the employee in receipt of the lay‐off notice will replace that employee. With the exception of L4 or L5, the employee will retain the rate of pay of the employee’s former position. When an employee’s classification prior to transfer is L4 or L5, and when the employee’s salary exceeds the top of L3, the employee’s salary may, at the Manager’s discretion, be held constant (no merit or scale increase) until the top of L3 exceeds the employee’s salary. The displaced employee will receive a lay‐off notice, and will be eligible for all provisions of Article 24.
