Common use of Seniority for Preferred Assignments Clause in Contracts

Seniority for Preferred Assignments. 1. This seniority determines relative standing among full-time regular and full-time flexible employees eligible to bid for preferred assignments. It is computed from entry into a regular work force position in a particular occupational group and level. It continues to accrue as long as service in the same occupational group, level, and installa- tion continues. See B5 and B6 below. 2. Employees who change, or have changed, from one designation to another and who during con- tinuous employment in the Motor Vehicle Service and in the same installation return to the former position designation and salary level regain the seniority they had in that position, without senior- ity credit for intervening employment in other position designations, except as provided for in paragraphs 4, 5 & 6 below. 3. Except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, full-time regulars, upon entering the Motor Vehicle Craft from another craft or installation, begin a new period of seniority. 4. When two or more employees in the same instal- lation, salary level, and position designation have seniority for preferred assignments from the same date, the tie will be broken as follows: a. By standing on the part-time flexible roll when both were appointed as a part-time flexible in the same installation, position designation, and salary level. b. By total length of full-time regular or part- time flexible Motor Vehicle Service in the installation if the tie is not broken by the preceding rule. c. By total career Motor Vehicle Service time in the USPS if the tie is not broken by the preceding rule. d. When a Motor Vehicle Service employee’s PSE appointment is converted to a career appointment the same day there is a new career appointment, reinstatement, reassignment, transfer or promotion to the same salary level and position designation, the converted employee is senior and precedes the other on the part-time flexible roll. e. When two or more employees from other crafts enter the Motor Vehicle Craft on the same date, their seniority will be determined by their total continuous postal service. f. If the provisions of a. through d. above do not break the tie, then the tie will be broken by using the last three or more numbers (using only enough numbers to break the tie, but not fewer than three numbers) of the employees’ social security numbers, from lowest to highest. 5.
