ARTICLE 12 - OPENING OF POSITIONS 12.1 Posting of Vacancies. Simultaneous to the public announcement of the opening of a new or existing contracted position, the College shall post notices on specified bulletin boards on the campus of the availability of the position. A brief description of the job, the qualifications necessary, the date the new employment will be available, and the procedure for applying will be included. 12.2 Temporary Employee. A contracted position which is staffed with a temporary employee for any three (3) terms in an academic year and which will be continued in the following year shall be posted as outlined in Section 12.1. Failure to post such a position will cause the temporary employee to be hired as a probationary employee. 12.3 First Interview Consideration Seniority Right to Interview. The person currently filling the contracted position shall be given first consideration in the event his/her qualifications are, in the judgment of the College, equal to or better than those of outside applicants. First consideration shall entitle the applicant to an interview. If the person currently filling the contracted position on a temporary basis was selected for this position through a posting/selection process, rather than seniority selection of a part-time employee or offer to a contracted employee on lay-off, and the person has satisfactorily performed in the position, the person shall have a right to a final interview to the position when it is open for a permanent employee. 12.4 Interview for Part-time. Part-time employees who have worked during the previous twelve (12) months and who have applied for contracted positions shall be entitled to an a final interview if, in the College's judgment, they are among the six (6) most qualified applicants most qualified for the open position and available for the final interview step when the final interview step is set up. If more than one position is being filled in a single process, the limit of six (6) will be increased by one for each additional position. (For example, it will be seven (7) if two positions are being filled.) 12.5 Reasons for Delayed Posting. If a contracted position, newly created or vacated for any reason other than layoff, has not been posted or filled by a temporary employee within 90 calendar days following its creation or vacancy, the Association shall, upon request, be provided the reason(s) for such delay. 12.6 Positions Outside of Regular Teaching Format. Faculty will be informed in writing of all positions outside of the regular teaching format for which they may be qualified to teach, and will be given an opportunity to apply for the positions. Email posting to the full faculty list and posting in the Daily is sufficient written notification. Contract Table of Contents Your Association | Current Contract | News | Contact | Index
