765 Selection Decisions

765.1 Senior Qualified Positions

For bargaining positions filled on the basis of senior qualified, the senior bidder’s qualifications are compared to the published qualification standard. The senior bidder is selected if qualified (see 72, Bargaining Positions).

765.2 Best Qualified Positions

For bargaining positions filled on the basis of best qualified, all applicants are required to describe their qualifications based on relevant education, training, or experience. This description must address the requirements given on the qualification standard. Where applicable, applicants should consult the B–element questions given in Appendix I. Where there is no appreciable difference in qualifications, seniority is considered, except where it will be the determining factor as required by a collective bargaining agreement.
