HR3146 - Faculty Transfer


Procedure

Section: HUMAN RESOURCES PROCEDURES

SubSection: EMPLOYMENT

Master List Section: Human Resources

  1. Definition

    A transfer is the permanent movement of an employee from a position in one department to a vacant position in a different department or on a different campus.
     
  2. Procedure
    1. VOLUNTARY TRANSFER
      1. Job announcements for faculty vacancies which the College determines to fill, will be posted as described in HR3120 . Each job announcement shall indicate the deadline for submitting applications.
      2. To be considered for a vacant position, an employee must complete an application for the posted position in the online recruitment system. Applications for transfer must be received on or before the posted deadline for submitting applications.
      3. In making a determination to fill a vacancy, the hiring supervisor will choose among all applicants based upon qualifications, ability, and seniority.
      4. When the hiring decision is between two or more current employees who are judged by the hiring supervisor to have equal ability and qualifications, then seniority shall be the controlling factor in the voluntary transfer.
      5. Human Resources will inform the employee by online recruitment system email of the approval or denial of their transfer request and will meet, upon the employee’s request, to discuss the matter. Such notification shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days of the Board action filling such position.
    2. INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER
      1. Faculty members who the hiring supervisor determines possess qualifications equal to other applicants, and who have in writing requested voluntary transfer, will be considered before an involuntary transfer is initiated.
      2. The College will designate the department and campus where a transfer is required.
      3. The College will inform the Association that an involuntary transfer is necessary and set a date to meet and discuss such transfer with the Association. The Association may present views and recommendations to the College at the meeting arranged for that purpose.
      4. The College will consider recommendations made by the Association and will determine the department or campus to which employees shall be transferred, the employees who shall be transferred, and the date upon which the transfer shall become effective.
      5. The College will provide written notice to the employee who will be transferred and, upon request, will meet with the employee to discuss the transfer.
      6. Generally, the College will give the transferred employee thirty (30) calendar days’ notice in advance of the effective transfer date, except when the College determines that due to an emergency, a transfer must take effect sooner.
