acquires seniority, his name shall be placed on the seniority list, in
order of his seniority date.

every three (3) months, at which time the list will be posted, and if it
is not possible to post the list, it will be made available to the
employees for review.

units, as are Construction and Operations units in the Department of
Planning and Physical Development, Public Works Division to be considered
separate units), based on capability of performing available jobs and

purposes, may exert only his or her seniority accumulated within the
bargaining unit. In addition, in the event the employee was not the least
senior member of the unit from which he or she is leaving at the time he
or she returns to the bargaining unit; then, in such case, the returning
employee will assume the seniority of the least senior employee remaining
in the unit which the returning employee has just left.

basis of competitive examination as provided for in the Oakland County
Merit System. The Employer will make his selection for promotion from

examination. The qualification for admission to the examination will be
seniority in a classification within the bargaining unit and meeting the
minimum qualifications for the classification of the vacancy as shown in
the latest dated written specification for that classification. In cases

candidates.

established, the County may designate a job classification and rate structure
