This shall not <br /> apply to any job wherein a test is not required for advancement. <br /> If there is a temporary vacancy in a higher rank or higher classification, where crew shortages <br /> are not created, the vacancy shall be filled by an employee who is on the Civil Service <br /> promotional list for that classification. If no employee on the Civil Service promotional list is <br /> available, the most senior employee eligible to take the examination may fill the vacant position <br /> (unless bypassed for cause), provided that an employee may refuse the assignment in which <br /> case the next most senior employee eligible to take the examination will be asked, etc. Except <br /> by mutual agreement, each employee shall not be moved between platoons more than twice <br /> per year to fill a temporary vacancy in a higher classification and twice per year to fill a lateral <br /> vacancy resulting directly from an out of class move, provided, however, that these annual <br /> move limitations apply only to this article. One move is defined to include the employee's <br /> assignment from and return to the original platoon. <br /> I <br /> 31 <br />
