Long Time Coming, at&t Makes a Positive Announcement

On Monday, March 17th, at&t will be making a great announcement that will satisify alot of term employees.

at&t has come to the realization that it is close to 10% of the amount of term employees per the MOA that was put into effect during 2007. As a result, the company is going to allow an amount of term employees to become Regular Full Time.

Any term employee that has been with the company for 9 months or longer will be made full regular employees. However....

In order to actually be made as full regular employees, any term employee that has been with the company for 9 months or longer must meet certain critieria. Below is the requirements:

  • Must have 9 months of Net Credit Service (NCS), or more
  • Cannot have ANY entries of any kind
  • Must have a Satisfactory YTD Appraisal (SAT YTD Performance Report Card for consumer folks)
  • Must have a Satisfactory Attendance record

This change will go into effect on April 7th of 2008. Keep in mind that even if you do meet the above criteria does not mean that you will be made full regular.

All term employees can apply at the external website, under Regular Full-Time Sales Associate

And what will a Regular Full-Time Sales Associate get or be intitled to? Check it:

  • Tuition Aid
  • Consession
  • 401k
  • 2009 TIA Bonus checks

Enjoy!


Memorandum of Agreement

Passed 13-12 Vote on 2-26-07

Use of Term Employees

BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. (the Company) and the Communications Workers of America (the Union) agree to modify the BST working agreement concerning the use of Term employees as follows:

Scope: Any work currently performed by employees holding the title of Service Representative or Sales Associate.

Guidelines:

  1. Employment may continue for up to 36 months.
  2. Term employees will be eligible for the BellSouth Medical, Dental, and Vision Assistance Plans under the same terms as a regular, full-time employee (i.e., no healthcare premiums after attaining six months service, etc.).
  3. This agreement satisfies the requirement to notify the CWA Local President prior to using term employees and after term employees have been engaged for 24 months.
  4. The Company will include all term employees on the payroll in the quarterly report to the CWA State Representatives as provided for in Article 1.33.
  5. Laid off employees who are hired as Term employees will not forfeit their Article 7.02 recall rights.
  6. Any regular Sales Associate or Service Representative declared surplus will have the right to transfer in their title, in their organizational unit, to an office where term Sales Associates or Service Representatives reside, first within the state, then within the region. However, the Company reserves the right to assign the surplus employee to a location nearest their current job. If this results in a surplus in that location, the term employees will be work completed, up to the number of surplus.
  7. Due to changing business and economic conditions, it is not possible for the Company to make specific commitments regarding office closings and force adjustments. However, the Company has no plans to close offices as a result of this agreement or to layoff regular Sales Associates or Service Representatives solely for the purpose of replacing them with term employees.

Duration:This Memorandum of Agreement is for the life of 2004 BST Working Agreement
