<br />14 <br /> <br />(2) years. <br /> <br />Probationary employees absent thirty (30) calendar days or more due to approved leave(s) of absence may <br />have their probationary period extended for the same duration as their absence(s); however, such extension <br />will not result in the employee’s probationary period lasting longer than 2080 hours actually worked. For the <br />purpose of this provision, approved City holidays shall be considered time worked. <br /> <br />9.2 Rejection <br /> <br />During such probationary period a worker may be discharged for any reason which, in the opinion of the <br />Department Head, is just and sufficient; provided, however, that there shall be no discrimination against any <br />worker as provided in Article 2 of this Agreement. Should any worker discharged during the probationary <br />period believe he/she has been subjected to such discrimination, the case may be appealed through the <br />grievance procedure provided in this Memorandum of Understanding. <br /> <br />9.3 Promotional Probation <br /> <br />A worker who has previously completed the requisite probationary period and who is rejected during a <br />subsequent probationary period for a promotional appointment shall be reinstated to the former position <br />from which he/she was promoted; provided that this Section shall not be construed as to prohibit the City <br />from discharging any worker during a subsequent promotional probationary period for those reasons and <br />causes set forth in Article 13 herein. <br /> <br />9.4 Completion <br /> <br />At the conclusion of the probationary period, the Department Head shall file a written statement with the <br />Personnel Officer recommending regular appointment or rejection of the probationer. <br /> <br /> <br />ARTICLE 10 - TRANSFER <br /> <br />10.1 A worker may be transferred for cause from a class in one department to the same class or related class in <br />another department. The worker shall not suffer loss of any accumulated vacation, sick leave, or disability <br />leave as a result of the transfer. The transferred worker shall be given ten (10) days advance notice before <br />being transferred. <br /> <br /> <br />10.2 A worker who has been reassigned due to a layoff from a classification in one department to a position in <br />the same or related classification in another department, may request and be eligible for a transfer when a <br />regular vacancy occurs in the classification previously held by the worker in the worker's original <br />department; provided, however, that the Personnel Officer may deny such transfer for cause. <br /> <br />10.3 A worker may elect, with the approval of the worker's Department Head and the Personnel Officer, to <br />voluntarily transfer to an equal or lower-paid classification which is vacant; provided such worker is capable, <br />in the opinion of the City, by virtue of prior training and experience with the City of Redwood City, to perform <br />the work required in that vacant classification; provided, further, that there is no current promotional list. <br />Such transfer shall be to the step of the vacant classification, which results in the least salary reduction. A <br />worker who voluntarily transfers shall suffer no loss of accrued vacation or sick leave and shall not be <br />required to serve a probationary period in the vacant classification. Any worker who is transferred from a <br />regular full-time position to a regular part-time position shall be covered by Article 15.5 of the Memorandum <br />6.3.B. - Page 24
