employee organization, such employee organization is a party in their stead.

(b)Time for filing of application. An application may be filed at any time; provided, however,

that with respect to any persons who are in a unit for which an employee organization has been

filed during a period of unchallenged representation status.

section, notice thereof, including the date when such application was filed with the director, shall

(1)the name and address of the public employer filing the application;

(2)the name and address of the attorney or representative of the public employer;

(3)each of the job titles that the public employer seeks to have designated as managerial

or confidential, and the number of persons in each job title;

(4)a statement as to whether any of these job titles are within a unit presently represented

by a recognized or certified employee organization or whether an employee organization

is presently seeking to represent the persons occupying any of these job titles and the

name of the employee organization;

(5)if there is any contract covering the persons within the job titles which it claims are

managerial or confidential, the public employer shall specify the duration, the parties, and

(6)a statement as to whether the employer has ever filed a previous application seeking

the designation of any of these job titles as managerial or confidential;

(7)a statement as to whether copies of the relevant job descriptions are attached;
