Section 8. As used in this agreement, a transfer shall be considered to be a permanent assignment of an employee to the same position classification in a department or division or section other than the one in which the employee is serving at the time the transfer takes effect. Section 9. An employee requesting a transfer shall notify his/her supervisor, department director and the Human Resources Division in writing on a form provided by Human Resources. The form shall be the 1999 version, and may be altered upon union/management agreement. Such requests for transfers shall expire on December 31 of the year in which they are submitted and must be renewed by the employee if transfer is still desired thereafter. Section 10. If a vacancy exists, an employee may transfer from one department or divi- sion or section to another within such employee's current classification, with the approval of the employee's department director. Transfers will be made on the basis of seniority. Requests for transfer must be for reasons other than the elimination of jobs. In no case shall bumping occur because of a transfer. For purposes of this section, a vacancy is defined as a circumstance in which both 1) a Request for Personnel has been approved by the City Manager and 2) the eligi- ble register for the position has either expired or been exhausted. Section 11. Any employee transferred must successfully complete a three (3) month probationary period before the transfer is final. An employee who does not complete the proba- tionary period shall be returned to his/her original department or division. During the probation- ary period an employee will, upon request, be returned to his/her original department or division. Section 12. The City may temporarily assign an employee to perform the duties of an- other classification within any department or division. The City will attempt to make such as- signments to employees in the next lower classification in the promotional order in which the temporary assignment occurs and to distribute such assignments on a rotating basis giving due consideration to qualifications and seniority. The most senior, qualified employee in the position classification being temporarily assigned will be asked if he/she wants the assignment. If the first employee does not want the assignment, the City will then go to the next most senior quali- fied person. The procedure will continue until an employee accepts the assignment. If no em- ployee wants to accept the assignment, it will then be assigned to the least senior qualified em- ptoyee in the position classification. Section 13. Employees assigned in accordance with Section 12 above, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, Section 5. Section 14. (a) Persons who have been members of the armed forces of the United States or who, while citizens of the United States, were members of the armed forces of allies of the United States in time of hostilities with a foreign country shall receive preference for promo- tion to positions in the classified service in the manner provided in 65 ILCS 5/10-1-16, and as such statutory provision is hereafter amended or re-codified. Such preference shall be in addi- tion to that otherwise provided therein and not in lieu thereof. (b) For purposes of this section, "time of hostilities with a foreign country" shall mean any period of time in the past, present, or future during which a declaration of war by the United States Congress has been or is in effect or during which an emergency condition has been or is in effect that is recognized by the issuance of a Presidential proclamation or a Presidential ex- ecutive order and in which the armed forces expeditionary medal or other campaign service medals are awarded according to Presidential order. 19
