2009 Classification Testing Schedule
Looking forward to next year, we have developed
a schedule for the Classification Assessment program for 2009. Following are the dates we have scheduled:
Computer Ride Show Technician Classification Assessment
§ January 14, 2009
§ July 15, 2009
Facilities Industrial Technician Classification Assessment
Area Ride Show Technician Classification Assessment
§ March 18, 2009
§ September 2, 2009
These dates, all on Wednesdays,
are scheduled well in advance to enable your Cast Members to be aware prior to requesting their vacations and personal holidays
in 2009. These dates are firmly in place and should not change. Information regarding how to sign up for the assessment will be sent to the areas four weeks prior to each
assessment date. Please make sure your Cast Members are aware of these dates so they can plan accordingly.
In an agreement with the Company
and the Unions, Cast Members who fail any assessment more than three (3) times, will be required to complete skill enhancement
training to be eligible to retake the assessment. The content of the training
will be mutually agreed by the Company and the Unions. Cast Members who have
already failed a classification assessment more than once prior to the ratification of the collective bargaining agreement
will be allowed one (1) additional opportunity to test. If the Cast Member fails
the classification assessment, they will be required to complete skill enhancement training to be eligible to retake the assessment.
Thank you for your assistance
