Full time, permanent vacancies in P&B designated classifications, advertised on or after December 1, 2006, will be subject to the P&B process until the required numbers of positions are filled.
Seniority Score Lists
For purposes of the P&B program, seniority is defined as “total months of State service as used for vacation and annual leave accrual purposes.” The P&B analyst will be responsible for calculating employee seniority scores, providing seniority score information to Bargaining Unit (BU) 1 and 4 employees and for posting of seniority score lists. Initial seniority will be based on the employee’s seniority as of the December 2006 pay period. A new seniority list will be calculated and posted each December until ARB has met its obligation under the P&B arbitration settlement agreement. The Seniority Score List will be the sole determinant of seniority for P&B selections until a new list is developed the following December. Seniority scores will be posted on ARBInside at http://arb·ca·gov/as/personnel/jobs/post&bid/ seniority/seniorityseniority.htm, and will be made available upon request to all employees per the terms of negotiated agreements.
Seniority Score Challenges
Employees have thirty calendar days from the date the Seniority Score List is posted and made available to all employees to challenge their posted seniority score. Seniority Score Challenges are to be submitted to:
