General Overview 1. When an opening occurs or is anticipated to occur in the near future, a Notice of Employment Opening is posted on a centrally located bulletin board. This notice provides the job title, department, shift, supervisor, and general job requirements and where required by law, pay range. Certain management jobs and jobs requiring special training, experience, technical skills or education may not be posted. 2. Individuals who are interested in the job and believe they are qualified and can perform the essential functions of the position with or without accommodations should give a written notice to management of their desire to be considered for the job by completing a Notification of Interest in an Employment Opening . 3. Management will review the qualifications and abilities of individuals who have indicated their interest. 4. Qualifications will include, but not be limited to, such factors as demonstrated skills related to the job, ability to perform essential job functions, prior experience and training, prior job performance, attendance record, and disciplinary record. The Human Resources Department will review the essential job functions with the candidate, and if appropriate, reasonable accommodations will be determined and made, if possible. If the candidates are deemed equally qualified, company seniority is then considered. 5. If an individual is selected from those indicating an interest in a position, it will be necessary for that individual to adjust to the new job to evaluate the individual's performance in the job. A four-week trial period will be used. If an individual is unable to successfully perform the new job during the trial period, the individual will be reassigned to such work as may be available. The opening will then be filled by selecting from the employees who originally requested to be considered for the opening, if possible. 6. If no one indicates interest in the job opening or if no one showing interest meets the above-mentioned qualifications, the Company will seek individuals from outside sources to fill the position. The applicable department head will review the selection process with any individual who does not understand the placement procedure or the decision in the matter. If the individual is not satisfied, he or she may request a meeting with the human resources business partner.

Company bulletin boards are maintained for the posting of work-related announcements (legal notices, safety bulletins, company activities, policies and procedures) and other notices of general interest. Human Resources is responsible for all bulletin boards. Material for posting on company boards should be submitted to the human resources business partner for approval and posting. Any material posted without proper approval will be removed and the person(s) responsible may be subject to disciplinary action.
