AFSCME Contract - MMB Home - Minnesota Management & Budget

5. In the event a summer program position in the class HST, SEPA, RPL or RPA becomes vacant
at either the Academy for the Deaf or the Academy for the Blind, the Appointing Authority will
first offer the position to employees who are on layoff from the Academy where the vacancy
exists as outlined in this Section.
6. If all eligible employees from the Academy where the vacancy exist have obtained summer
program positions or have waived their right of recall, the summer program position shall next
be offered to employees from the other Academy who were either: a) unable to obtain a
summer program position; b) obtained a position in a lower classification because no position in
their classification was available; or c) obtained a less than full-time position.
Such positions shall be posted for three (3) working days and employees listed in a, b, or c,
who desire to bid on these positions must submit such bids within these three (3) working days.
On the second working day following the close of bidding, employees who have secured a
summer program position shall receive notification which includes the summer program
position they have obtained, the duties of summer program, and the date of recall for the
beginning of the next academic year.
If vacancies again become open at an Academy because employees have exercised rights
above, these newly opened positions shall be posted for three (3) working days and employees
in a, b or c above, who desire to bid on the newly-opened positions must submit such bids
within these three (3) working days. On the second working day following the close of bidding,
employees who have secured a summer program position shall receive notification which
includes the summer program position they have obtained, the duties of summer program, and
the date of recall for the beginning of the next academic year.
In all cases the position shall be offered to employees in order of Classification Seniority for
Units #2 and #3 and State Seniority for Units #4 and #6, provided the senior employee's ability
and capacity to perform the job are relatively equal to that of the other bidders.
When it is necessary to reduce numbers of staff, the reductions shall first be made from the
employees who bid from the other Academy. Such employees shall return to their respective
Academy and resume their previously awarded bid.
7. Summer program bids will be awarded and vacant positions shall be filled by recall of laid off
employees in Classification Seniority order for the classifications of Food Service Worker, Cook
or Cook Coordinator and Dining Hall Coordinator, and in State Seniority order for the
classifications of Licensed Practical Nurse I (LPN I) and Licensed Practical Nurse II (LPN II),
who are currently appointed to or who have previously served in such classification. An
employee must accept recall to his/her currently appointed class before accepting recall to a
previously served in class.
8. For purposes of this Supplemental Agreement only, Classification Seniority, upon recall, shall
include Classification Seniority in all higher related or equally related paid classes in which the
employee has served with the State of Minnesota.
9. Employees accepting recall to classes in which they have previously served shall retain their
present salary unless that salary exceeds the maximum rate of pay for the new position, in
which case the employee's salary shall be adjusted to the new maximum.
10. Vacation leave hours used by employees covered by this Supplemental Agreement to extend
their work season shall be paid at the rate at which they are earned.
11. Employees who bid on summer program positions and intend to use leave for periods of three
(3) days or more, during the summer program session, are expected to request the use of
leave at the time they submit their bids.
