ARTICLE 22 <br />PROMOTIONS/TRANSFERS <br />22.1 In filling all vacancies in the bargaining unit, employees shall meet the <br />qualification standards of education, training, certifications, experience, and <br />other requirements for the position to which the promotion and/or voluntary <br />transfer is being sought. Standards and qualifications will be established to meet <br />the basic requirements of the position. <br />22.2 Job openings will be posted on the employee bulletin boards a minimum of five <br />working days. Promotional job opportunities (within the bargaining unit) will be <br />posted a minimum of five working days internally prior to being posted to the <br />outside. Employees, excluding temporary employees, may initiate a written <br />request for transfer/promotion consideration. <br />22.3 An employee's eligibility for promotion and/or voluntary transfer will be <br />determined by the requirements of the new job. In addition, the employee must <br />have both a satisfactory performance record and no disciplinary actions (formal <br />warning or greater) during the preceding twelve-month period. Employees along <br />with external applicants will be considered. All things being equal, current <br />employees shall have preference. Current employee candidates for promotion <br />and/or voluntary transfer will normally be screened and selected on the basis of <br />attendance and work records, performance appraisals, and job-related <br />qualifications including, in some instances, aptitude tests. Seniority will be <br />considered the deciding factor if two or more candidates are judged to be equally <br />qualified. <br />22.4 Promoted employees shall receive a 5% raise or the minimum of the new grade, <br />whichever is greater. <br />22.5 Promoted employees will be placed on "promotion probation" status for a period <br />of six months. At the end of this period the employee may be eligible for a <br />promotion probationary pay increase. Certified Water or Wastewater Operators <br />who receive a pay increase for attainment of a higher level certification will not <br />be placed on a promotion probation and will not be eligible for a promotion <br />probationary pay increase. They will retain their anniversary date and remain <br />eligible for anniversary pay increases or lump sum payments provided under this <br />Agreement. <br />22.6 The County agrees to post management vacancies and will give bargaining unit <br />employees consideration in filling those vacancies. <br />29 <br />
