Determining Seniority Policy

Determining Seniority Policy FINAL DRAFT

=References=

This policy was proposed by a subcommittee of Geiner, Kathie, and Richard, posted the staff email list, and then discussed and agreed upon at the weekly staff emeting, April 16, 2004. Unless objections are raised on the list or at a staff meeting, this is current staff policy.

=Seniority=

Seniority is defined using a who started working as a paid collective member earliest criteria.

If a worker ceases working at Free Geek for a period of more than one year, that worker loses their seniority. If they are re-hired within one year's time, their seniority remains intact.

(Another twist would be to limit the number of times a person can be gone for up to a year without losing seniority. For example, we could say it can only be allowed to happen once. The full staff has not talked about this yet, but may implement policy regarding it in the future.)
