Employees in the job classifications listed in this Agreement will be placed on the scales set forth in this Agreement, based on “completed continuous years of service with the Hospital in the job classification” as set forth in subsection (2) below. 2. Years of completed continuous service shall be calculated from the employee’s most recent date of hire as, or transfer into, a Therapist position (for placement on a Therapist scale) or a Technician position (for placement on the Technician scale) at the Hospital (including any prior unbroken service as a Therapist or Technician at South Valley Hospital, San ▇▇▇▇ Medical Center, Regional Medical Center of San ▇▇▇▇, Good Samaritan Hospital, and/or Mission Oaks Hospital). The Hospitals may place new hires on any step of the scale, but if a new hire is granted experience credit that results in pay for experience exceeding that of any incumbent Therapist who has like experience and at least the same status, the incumbent shall be granted equivalent credit for experience as the new-hire at the time of the new-hire's employment and the anniversary date of the incumbent Therapist shall be changed to the same date as the new-hire. If the Hospital's records are incomplete with respect to tenure credit, the burden of proof of all tenure credit shall rest with the Therapist. Tenure credit for previous employment which does not fully conform to the above definition of previous experience may be discussed at the request of the Therapist on a Hospital- by-Hospital basis. The Hospital’s determination of the amount of experience credit (if any) to grant a new hire for purposes of placement, or for which to credit an incumbent for purposes of administration of this section, shall not be a subject for grievance.
