ARTICLE 14 SENIORITY AND LAYOFF Section 14.01 Seniority shall be determined by continuous service with the Transit Department. Only non-probationary full-time employees shall haye seniority. No employee shall have seniority during the probationary period provided in Article 12 but, seniority shall be retroactive to the date of hire; once the employee satisfactorily completes the probationary period.
