Temporary Employee Eligibility List
10.9 Temporary employees who are appointed in the same classification for two (2) consecutive years and are not reappointed for reasons other than unsatisfactory performance and/or unsatisfactory conduct may request to be placed on an eligibility list for consideration for future temporary appointments in the same classification as the employee held for the two (2) consecutive years.
a. Reappointment Eligibility List
1. The employee must submit a written request to the designated person on campus to be considered for future temporary appointments in the same classification as the employee served for two (2) consecutive years. Such request must include current, accurate contact information.
2. The employee’s name will remain on the list for three (3) years, provided the employee submits to the designated person on campus an updated request for future consideration for reappointment by July 1 of each year in which the employee is eligible to be on the list. Failure to submit this written notice with current, accurate contact information will result in removal from this list.
3. If someone on the list is contacted by the University, offered a temporary position, and turns down two (2) assignments of sixty (60) days or more, he/she shall be removed from the list. If three (3) offers of temporary positions of less than sixty (60) days are turned down, the person’s name shall be removed from the Reappointment Eligibility List.
b. Reappointment Process
1. When the campus has a temporary position available, prior to advertising the position the appropriate manager on the campus will check the Reappointment Eligibility List to determine if anyone in the classification to be filled is on the list at the campus with reappointment rights in the classification to be filled.
2. Prior to posting the temporary position pursuant to provision 10.1, the campus shall offer the temporary position to each person on the Reappointment Eligibility List in the classification to be filled until the position is filled or everyone has turned down the appointment, whichever occurs first.
3. It is understood and agreed that temporary employees do not have seniority. However, temporary employees eligible for the Reappointment Eligibility List will be put on the Reappointment Eligibility List in order from the most number of seniority points accrued, not earned, pursuant to provision 30.11. Employees on the Reappointment Eligibility List in the appropriate classification will be called beginning with the employee with the most accrued seniority points. If there is more than one person on the Reappointment Eligibility List for the classification to be filled with the same number of seniority points, the tie shall be broken by: the University after considering the following factors:
a. specialized skills and competencies of the employee; and
b. meritorious service by the employee as documented in the personnel file.
4. The President may appoint outside applicants when he/she determines such action is necessary to meet the best interest of the campus by obtaining specialized skills and abilities not available from those on the Reemployment Eligibility List.
5. If an employee is reappointed for less than two (2) years, upon separation he/she shall remain on the Reemployment Eligibility List for two (2) additional years.
10.10 An interview panel will be utilized when appointing an employee to a permanent position and may be used for temporary and apprentice appointments at the University’s discretion. When an interview panel is utilized and the Union recommends one (1) unit member from the occupational group being recruited to serve on the panel; such unit member shall serve on the panel. The campus may appoint an additional unit member or members to the interview panel as well as management representative(s).
If a member of the occupational group being recruited is not available on the campus and the Union appoints a member from another campus, release time will be reimbursable and the Union will be responsible for any costs related to the member’s participation on the interview panel. Release time must be requested and processed in accordance with provision 7.14 a, but the employee does not have to be a Union officer.
Teamsters Local 2010 recommendations are expected to be timely. If Teamsters Local 2010 appointees are not available in a timely manner, the interview process will not be delayed.
10.11 The CSU will provide to the Union a system-wide quarterly report of all Limited Hourly and temporary appointments in the bargaining unit on the date of the report.
