NEW TRANSFER FORM
ALL GROUPS
A new Transfer Form has been agreed to by the National Parties and should
be available in our Local in the next month or two.
A sample has been attached to this Bulletin.
Once this new form is available, use this form for all transfers /
promotions that require the use of a "Form".
Aspects of bidding and / or postings will not change due to the new form.
Please note that the form has a Serial Number, and amendments refer to
the Original Serial Number. Using
photocopies will cause problems, particularly if the Local employer does not
have these new forms. If this
affects your transfer submission, you should file a grievance or contact the
Local Office.
If you change Groups, Classifications, Components, Post Office and MAPPS,
you are encouraged to submit an "Amended" form.
Your rights are not impacted if you do not submit amended forms.
With the regular mistakes made by the staffing office, submitting amended
forms will reduce the risk of errors in your placement on the transfer lists.
Once the new forms are available, the employer will have to change the
way it provides the Local with information and there will be errors as they
adjust. The employer will make
errors when implementing the new forms and systems.
We all know that the employer makes mistakes on a regular basis,
especially when it comes to staffing.
Locally the employer will not commit to when the new forms / systems will
be in place, when the forms while be supplied, or how they will deal with
changes for our Local.
In the Scarborough Local the employer in the past would remove your
transfer from the list if you changed, Classifications, Components, Groups,
Status, etc., and you did not resubmit new forms.
This is a violation of the Collective Agreement.
In the future the employer will have to amend their transfer lists if you
move or change Locations or Classifications.
When the new forms become available, you should submit new transfer
forms. Transfers remain on the list
for a maximum of one (1) year and must be renewed.
Members recently promoted from Temporary Status to Part Time
Indeterminate Status must have a transfer on file to go to Full Time Status.
Please
be very careful in submitting the new forms and policing results that are
posted. If you believe that you
have been bypassed, see your steward and file a grievance immediately.
In
Solidarity
