WORK SECURITY Clause Samples

WORK SECURITY. The University and HUCTW share a commitment to work security. We believe that this commitment will create a more productive and challenging workplace where change represents opportunity rather than a threat. We look forward to an environment where personal growth and the building of new skills are continuous, and constructive changes are embraced without fear. Ongoing staff member employment is an important University goal and should be maintained in situations such as those which occur because a grant ends, when a department restructures, or when other changes make the future of particular positions uncertain. Based on their history of proven contributions, displaced staff members will be given hiring preference over outside candidates, including from temporary agencies, for any vacant job for which they are suitably qualified.

WORK SECURITY. 1. If there is consideration of the possibility of discontinuing the employment of an employee in the unit assigned 30 hours or more per week, and who has completed one-year continuous service at this level, the employee shall be entitled to an informal hearing before the Assistant Superintendent of Schools. 2. The employee shall be the opportunity of knowing the reason(s) for consideration of a dismissal and the right to present any information which will aid in reaching a decision prior to any action to dismiss or retain. 3. If the decision by the Assistant Superintendent of Schools is not satisfactory to the employee, the employee may request a review by the board of Education or a committee of its members. The employee must notify the Board of Education in writing within ten school days of the date of the decision by the Assistant Superintendent if a request for such a review is made. 4. Within 15 school days after reviewing the written request or such longer time as may be mutually agreed upon, the Board or a committee of its members shall meet with the employee and their representative for the purpose of resolving the issue.

WORK SECURITY. Philosophy & Goals

WORK SECURITY. The creation of new job classifications or restructuring of existing positions shall be a mandatory subject of bargaining. No work normally performed by a bargaining unit member shall be performed by a non-bargaining unit worker. Mundo Verde shall not hire any third party contractor or temporary worker to perform work that typically would fall within the bargaining unit. In the event a vacancy arises during an academic year, Mundo Verde shall make their best efforts to fill the bargaining unit position as soon as possible. Temporary and/or agency employees may be hired to fill an emergency vacancy while a suitable candidate is found to fill the vacancy on a permanent basis. Temporary and/or agency employees shall not be employed for a term to exceed one calendar year. Nothing in this section shall prohibit leadership or a substitute teacher from filling in for an absent Employee on a temporary basis (i.e. when an Employee is absent due to illness, injury, or temporary leave), or prohibit the use of temporary employees as substitute teachers. Mundo Verde retains the right to contract out work not traditionally performed by a bargaining unit member. Should Mundo Verde believe there are extenuating circumstances for which subcontracting of some bargaining unit work is needed, leadership shall contact the Union. Upon written agreement with the Union, the prohibition on subcontracting may be waived.

WORK SECURITY. 1. If there is consideration of the possibility of discontinuing the employment of an employee in the unit assigned 30 hours or more per week, and who has completed one-year continuous service at this level, the employee shall be entitled to an informal hearing with another member of the NNA present before the Superintendent of Schools or designee. 2. The employee shall be given the opportunity of knowing the reason(s) for consideration of a dismissal and the right to present any information which will aid in reaching a decision prior to any action to dismiss or retain. 3. If the decision by the Superintendent of Schools or designee is not satisfactory to the employee, the employee may request a review by the board of Education or a committee of its members. The employee must notify the Board of Education in writing within ten school days of the date of the decision by the Superintendent of schools or designee if a request for such a review is made. 4. Within 15 school days after reviewing the written request or such longer time as may be mutually agreed upon, the Board or a committee of its members shall meet with the employee and their representative for the purpose of resolving the issue.

WORK SECURITY. Article III -

WORK SECURITY. When as employee is temporarily assigned for more than five (5) consecutive days to a higher classification, the employee shall maintain his/her step level at the higher classification and receive the higher classification pay rate during the time he/she occupies that higher position. An employee may be assigned temporarily to perform the duties of a lower classification but shall be compensated at his/her regular rate of pay.

WORK SECURITY. ‌ 26.01 Except in cases of emergency, persons not in the bargaining unit shall not perform work normally performed by bargaining unit employees except in accordance with current practice. The parties agree that students on placement for the purposes of instruction are exempt from this prohibition. The parties further agree that volunteers (so long as their use does not result in a layoff for any employee) and Supervisors instructing or assisting employees or covering for employees on break or absent without adequate notice are also exempt from this prohibition.
