[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 942210, member: 12570"] This is a very good question. The OP did say that the vet would be placed at the top of the PT seniority list so I would think that had any FT bids been posted during his absence he most certainly would have among those eligible to sign the bid sheet. Obviously it would be unfair to take away a FT job and give it to the vet; however, IMO it would be equally unfair to simply give him the next FT bid over the employee who is currently next in line to get this bid job. This is why it is so important to follow all of the rules all of the time. If the time period was 5 years (or less) we would not be having this discussion as this is covered in the legislation. The vet would come back with his seniority intact and would take his place in line for the next FT bid. However, because we are talking 10 years, this fall outside of the rules and in to a gray area. I would think that, to be fair, the vet should be given his job back at the same wage and position on the seniority list as when he left. It would be as if he put his job on hold for the 10 years that he was gone and is now going to pick up where he left off. To arbitrarily place him at the top of the seniority list would not be fair to those who put in their time. [/QUOTE]
