Policy IV-C-3: Policy for Filling Vacancies
Policy for Filling Vacancies
Declared full-time vacancies may be filled under the following conditions:
- The position must be budgeted or authorized by the Chancellor and/or Board of Trustees.
- The administration must approve the advertisement and posting of the position.
- All posting and advertising must be through the Human Resources Office.
- The position must be posted a minimum of ten days for classified staff, twenty days for professional non-contracted positions and thirty days for all contracted positions.
- All applicants must apply through the Human Resources Office during the posting period.
- Initial applicant screening must be coordinated through the Human Resources Office.
- The Chancellor is responsible for recommending to the Board of Trustees the employment of all full-time employees.
Because no employee is employed to fill a specific position or assignment, the Chancellor of the San Jacinto College District shall have the right to assign an employee such duties as the Chancellor deems proper. An employee may be assigned or reassigned additional duties for which he or she is professionally certified or otherwise qualified to perform, at whatever campus deemed necessary. Generally, a new assignment or reassignment will not result in a reduction in compensation. Likewise, the Chancellor has the authority to promote a current employee into a position that results in an increase in compensation. The Chancellor will present assignment, reassignment and promotion recommendations to the Board of Trustees for ratification. A vacant position resulting from a promotion must be posted unless the position has been eliminated through reorganization.
Part-time and temporary employees may be employed without a formal posting following fair non-discriminatory employment practices.
