Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 37.3.F.10; Posting, Bidding, and Application (1982)

This Step 4 Settlement Agreement addresses whether management violated Article 37 of the National Agreement when an unassigned regular employee’s schedule was changed and subsequently placed in a residual vacancy prior to qualifying on an assigned scheme. It was mutually agreed to resolve the instant matter in that; after conversion to a full-time regular, an unassigned regular may be permanently assigned to a residual vacancy although not yet qualified on the required scheme; and that the employee’s preference will be considered if there is more than one assignment available and shall be honored except where an employee can be assigned to an available duty assignment for which he/she was currently qualified.
