The collective agreement stipulates the order in which teachers are assigned work (clause 5-4.17). Depending on the type of work, hiring priorities differ. Note that priorities which apply to non-permanent teachers in the college are highlighted in bold. The priorities listed here concerning a teacher within the college are for that teacher’s own discipline, except where otherwise noted.
HIRING PRIORITY FOR A POSTE (5-4.17a)
The following list summarizes the order in which teachers are granted a poste. If two teachers have the same priority, the teacher with the highest seniority, then with the highest experience, and finally with the highest scholarity has access to the poste. For newly-hired candidates without seniority, the candidate hired first has access to the poste. If two candidates have the same date of hiring, then the hiring order set out by the department selection committee determines who has access to the poste.
