UNPAID LEAVE & SENIORITY
Reminder: Use of unpaid time off during the academic year will affect your seniority date.
Your seniority date will be adjusted according to language set forth in your collective bargaining agreement. (Article 1-06, c., for Teachers/Nurses; Article 15-01 for Professional Support Staff).
Your date of initial appointment (seniority date) is adjusted by the number of unpaid leave days you incur.
A Note About INTERVIEW COMMITTEES
The Union's stance is against having members be on the interview committee for other union jobs as it often pits member against member (especially with transfers and when you may know the applicant). We strongly advise against a union member participating on the interview committee for other jobs supported by the union. You have every right to make this personal decision but we prefer that you stand in solidarity with each other!
We do believe you should be asked to be on interview committees for administrative positions in order to have your voice be heard.
Thank you to this month's member in the spotlight: OUR WONDERFUL NURSING STAFF!
