  1. Transfers shall be made on the basis of greatest seniority from among Employees on the voluntary transfer request list; provided, however, that an institution or Central Office Cost Group may require facility in a specified foreign language, in which event the most senior employee possessing facility in such language shall be transferred. The vacancy shall be for specific shifts and work days if so stated but in no event shall such work schedule be considered permanent.
  2. LIMITATIONS TO AN EMPLOYEE'S ENTITLEMENT TO TRANSFER:
    1. An Employee who is on his or her probationary period following permanent appointment from the Civil Service List shall not be entitled under the terms of this Agreement to a transfer until completion of such probationary period.
    2. A provisional Employee with less than six (6) months of service in the title shall not be entitled under the terms of this Agreement to a transfer.
    3. An Employee who has disciplinary action pending or who is under special evaluatory supervision shall not be entitled under the terms of this Agreement to a transfer.
    4. An Employee shall not be entitled under the terms of this Agreement to a transfer until completion of one (1) year of service following a voluntary transfer to the Employee's current location.
    5. An institution or Central Office Cost Group may refuse to honor a transfer request from an Employee who has previously worked at such location and whose services were not satisfactory at such location during the period of employment at such location. Such refusal shall not be arbitrary and capricious. However, the employee will not be denied eligibility to transfer to any other available vacancy.
  3. POSTING: At least five (5) working days prior to the filling of a vacancy which the institution or Central Office Cost Group decides to fill and has authority to fill, notice of such vacancy shall be posted on the bulletin board and a copy of such posting given to the local Union representative of that institution or Central Office Cost Group.
