Policy 523 - Seniority of Service Personnel
Adopted on June 18, 2019
Effective July 1, 2019
The Superintendent shall maintain lists of all service personnel classifications employed by the Board, indicating in each the name, seniority date, and current position of all those currently employed in that classification. These lists shall be posted on the Board's website and shall be updated regularly but at least twice per year on or before September 1 and on or before January 15.
Seniority of service personnel shall be quoted as a date certain. This date shall be the date on which each person began his / her duties as a regular employee in the classification listed, except that if he / she is separated from this classification by reduction-in-force or voluntarily transferred to another classification, this date shall be adjusted forward by a period equal to each and every calendar day that he / she was not employed in that classification. Any service person who voluntarily leaves employment with or is terminated by the Board shall forfeit any and all seniority earned previously.
If two or more service personnel are to begin their duties in a particular classification on the same date such that each will earn an identical seniority date, then a random selection process must be commenced within thirty days of this seniority date to establish a ranked order. This process shall be agreed upon by the employees and shall be performed by the Board at a regular or special meeting. For regular employees, this ranked order shall be permanent so long as the two or more of the involved service personnel maintain that seniority date.
For substitute employees who have not yet been called to work, a similar process shall be used to establish a ranked order for any and all substitute employees hired in a particular classification to begin work on a particular date. This ranked order shall only be used for this purpose except that, if two or more service personnel in a particular classification are offered and commence work on the same date so that they earn an identical seniority date as substitute service personnel, a random selection process separate from any previous process shall be commenced to establish a ranked order which shall then be permanent so long as two or more of the involved substitute service personnel maintain that seniority date.
Seniority earned as a substitute service personnel shall not be transferable upon employment as a regular employee or considered equivalent to that earned by regular service personnel, and any seniority earned as a substitute service personnel shall immediately be forfeit upon employment as a regular employee.
