Article 11
Eligibility for Bidding
Article 12, Section 6 of the Master Agreement shall be modified as follows:
Intermittent employees shall not be eligible to bid.
Employees who are not eligible bidders (because they are on the same shift and in the same
employment condition and work area) who express interest in a vacant position shall be given
consideration before the posting/bidding process begins. Such expressions of interest will be
granted in Classification Seniority order for positions in Units #2 and #3 or in State Seniority order
for positions in Units #4 and #6, unless there is a programmatic reason for denial.
Article 12
Probation
Article 12, Section 10C of the Master Agreement shall be modified as follows:

equivalent number of hours if the employee is intermittent or less than half-time) if the Local Union
agrees in writing.
Upon completion of the probationary period, the letter extending the probation will be removed
from the employee’s personnel file.
Article 13
Training Meet and Confer
The Appointing Authority and Local Union agree to meet and confer to discuss training needed by
employees and other training issues. This meet and confer shall be scheduled near the beginning

Article 14
Part-Time Hours Procedures
In accordance with current practice, part-time or full-time employees will first be allowed to work
additional available hours to make up for hours lost due to a reduction in the employee’s schedule.
Temporary employees are not covered by this article.
If additional hours are still available, part-time employees in the food service area and part-time
employees in the HST and SEPA classifications may work additional hours within the fourteen (14)
day posting period at the straight time rate in accordance with the following procedure:
If additional work is needed within the fourteen (14) day posting period, and the work cannot be
performed by previously scheduled employees (i.e., temporary reassignment), the Appointing
Authority shall first offer this work to part-time employees in order of state seniority in the work
area. If a part-time employee accepts the offered work, the part-time employee shall not be eligible
for “penalty pay.”
A part-time employee would not be eligible to be offered such work if the additional hours would
result in the payment of overtime pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
If no eligible part-time employee accepts the work, the Appointing Authority is not required to
assign the work to a part-time employee. The Appointing Authority may use one of the following
methods of securing resources (this list is not inclusive):
