    B. Advancements are subject to the need of the University for an employee to perform the work on a regular basis and to the employee serving the required MTRC. Upon notice by an employee to the department supervisor during the thirty (30) day period prior to completion of the MTRC, the employee shall be subject to a written and practica examination designed to determine the ability of the employee to perform the duties of the higher position. The composite score of both examinations shall be in accordance with Article 21 . If an employee passes the examinations, the employee will be advanced to the next higher position, effective on the date the employee completed the MTRC. If an employee fails the examinations, the employee shall not be permitted to take the examinations for a period of six (6) months from the date of examination failure; if the employee passes subsequent examinations, the employee's advancement will be effective on the date of passing the subsequent examinations. If an employee first achieves the MTRC, and then requests and passes the advancement test, the employee w ill be awarded the higher pay effective on the date the test was successfully completed.

    Employees who enter the Apprentice Shop will be at the Maintenance Repair Worker 1 level. 

    Employees who enter the maintenance shops at a Maintenance Repair Worker 2 level will automatically progress up to the Maintenance Repair Worker 3 level after completion of the requirements above. Progression to the Maintenance Repair Worker 4 level will require that an opening occurs and that the time in grade and testing be completed.

    Written examinations shall be administered by UHR at a location other than the employee's worksite. Practical examinations shall be conducted by the employee's departmental supervisor and monitored by University Human Resources.

    C. Credit for previous experience in any classification or in work outside the University will be given when all of the following are met:

    1. When the experience is directly related to the kind of work specified for the classification.
    2. When the experience was done for verifiable compensation.
    3. When the experience was performed under the direction of a professional in the field.

    Credit will be given to current employees at the rate of one (1) month for every one (1) spent in applicable work in a different classification when it conforms with C (1, 2, and 3) above. In special cases, for long-service employees, sufficient credit may be given to get the employee to the second level in the progression ladder immediately, provided the previous experience is deemed satisfactory to meet the requirements set forth in the class specification. Credit will be given for previous experience outside the University (including U.S. military service) at the rate of one (1) month for every one (1) spent at directly related work and satisfactory verification of such experience must be in accordance with C (1, 2, and 3) above and presented at the time of application for placement in any position in order that such credit may be applied. In no case, however, will an employee spend less than fifty percent (50%) of the required time at each level outlined in subsection A herein. Any promotions made through this Article shall not be considered vacancies as defined by Article 14 .

    Article 16 - Classifications
    1. The University will establish and maintain a job classification plan for all positions covered by this Contract. The jobs shall be grouped such that all positions with similar duties and responsibilities are described by the same title and assigned to the same pay range. Each class of positions shall be assigned a classification number and classification title. A specification describing the duties and responsibilities of the class and the minimum qualifications for being employed in a position in said class, will be maintained for each class of positions. Each specification shall include statements of the essential character of the work of the classification; essential knowledge, abilities, and skills; and the minimum training and experience required of persons who are to fill positions so classified.
    2. Related classifications, which form a career progression, shall be assigned to a classification series. If, during the life of this Contract, there is an additional class(es) added to a departmental classification series, the Union shall be notified of the newly modified departmental classification series within 30 days. For purposes of this Contract, the following shall constitute the classifications and departmental classification series of all positions in the Bargaining Unit.

Should there be a dispute over the University's determination of the wage rate for a new classification in the Bargaining Unit, said rate will b~ negotiated by the parties in a regularly scheduled LaborManagement Meeting. In the event of impasse, the Union may file a grievance at Step 2 of the Grievance Procedure.

    5. Either the Union or the University may request that a position be audited by University Department of Human Resources for the purpose of evaluating and reclassifying the position. The request will be in writing and will include evidence that the duties of the position have changed significantly from the duties described in the current classification description of the position. Upon mutual agreement between the Union and the University, the position will be audited. If a classification is changed as a result of a job audit, the University will post the position in accordance with Article 14 .

      If the parties are unable to agree on the reclassification of a position, the dispute will first be submitted to the Labor Management Committee for resolution. If the parties are still unable to reach an agreement, the Union may submit the dispute in the form of a grievance to Step 2 of the Grievance Procedure.
