A recently converted PSE for filling of a residual vacancy with less than 90 days as a career employee called off on Emergency Annual Leave. She did not get paid because of management citing ELM 512.313 – he has a ninety day wait time. In the letter from President Dimondstein, about career status in the clerk craft under probationary period, it states they do not have to serve a ninety day probationary if they have already served that time.
My question: Which holds the most weight? Should he be paid or does the ELM override this agreement? Thanks for any help you can offer.
