Background
During collective bargaining negotiations in 2002, the Service Employees International Union, Local 1000 (SEIU), and the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) agreed to implementation of a pilot Post and Bid (P&B) Program. Under the terms of the negotiated agreement, effective May 1, 2002, State departments were required to fill fifty percent (50%) of all permanent full-time vacancies in specifically designated classifications through the negotiated seniority based P&B process. Due to a series of court actions and pending arbitration proceedings, implementation of the negotiated P&B program was delayed. Under terms of a settlement agreement reached through the arbitration process, effective
December 1, 2006, the Air Resources board (ARB) is required to offer a specific number of permanent full-time vacancies in the following classifications through the negotiated seniority based pilot P&B process.
| Designated Classification | Bargaining Unit | Positions Subject to Post & Bid |
| Associate Governmental Program Analyst | 1 | 2 |
| Office Assistant (General/Typing) | 4 | 2 |
| Management Services Technician | 1 | 2 |
| Personnel Specialist | 1 | 2 |
| Staff Services Analyst | 1 | 3 |
Once the required number of positions has been made available under the P&B Program, the pilot P&B Program will end.
P&B Administrative Program Responsibilities
Katrina Hollingsworth, Human Resources, has been designated the P&B Analyst. Katrina will be responsible for ensuring all permanent full-time vacant positions in the designated P&B classifications are posted and filled according to the terms of the negotiated collective bargaining agreements and arbitration settlement agreement. Upon receipt of the customary Request for Personnel Action (RPA) package in the Human Resources Branch (HRB), the P&B Analyst is responsible for:
- calculation and posting of annual Seniority Lists;
- making Seniority Lists available upon request by employees;
- reviewing and approving position allocations;
- posting of job ads for P&B designated positions;
- collective job bids;
- determining bidder eligibility, and
- awarding the position to the most senior eligible bidder.
In the event it is determined a position cannot be filled through the PYB process, the P&B Analyst will notify the appropriate HR Analyst who will work with the hiring manager to fill the position through traditional methods.
Staci Cain, Labor Relations Officer (LRO), will be responsible for:
- coordination and all administrative functions of the P&B Joint Dispute Committee, and;
- receipt and processing, via the P&B Joint Dispute Resolution Committee, all P&B program award protests.
