The parties acknowledge that PSEs may be separated at any time during their
term of appointment for lack of work. Separations for lack of work shall be by
inverse relative standing on the appropriate PSE roll. Such separations are not
grievable except where the separations are pretextual. PSEs separated for lack
of work will be given reappointment ahead of other PSEs with less relative
standing on the PSE roll (or hiring a new PSE) within the installation if the need
for hiring arises within (1) year of their separation. PSEs are separated for 5
days between appointments.
When operational circumstances indicate that reappointment for a PSE(s) is not
needed and the installation employs a PSE(s) with lower relative standing, the
PSE(s) with higher standing will be reappointed and the PSE(s) with the lower
standing in the installation will be separated instead. Such separation of a
PSE(s) with the lowest standing is not grievable except where the separation is
pretextual. These PSE(s) separated for lack of work during or upon completion
of their term of appointment will be given reappointment ahead of other PSE(s)
with less relative standing on the PSE roll (or hiring a new PSE) in the
installation if the need for hiring arises within one (1) year of separation.
