Article 16: Seniority

1.  
   1. The Employer shall provide the Union, in January and July of each year, a listing of Employees in order of seniority.
   2. For newly hired regular or temporary Employees, seniority with the Employer starts on the date on which the Employee commences employment in the bargaining unit.
   3. For casual Employees whose status changes to regular or temporary or someone subsequently determined by the Labour Relations Board or agreed to by the parties as being in the bargaining unit, the "seniority date” shall be established by dividing their contiguous hours worked with the Employer by the equivalent annual full-time hours (2190) of their new position and converting the result to as seniority date, but will not precede date of hire with the Employer.
2. Seniority shall not apply during the probationary period; however, once the probationary period has been completed seniority shall be credited as provided in Article 16.01.
3. Seniority shall be the determining factor in:
   1. when an Employee resigns or is terminated from their position with the Employer, or
   2. upon the expiry of twelve (12) months following layoff during which time the Employee has not been recalled to work; or
   3. if an Employee does not return to work on recall to their former classification and full-time equivalency.
