Bumping/Displacement Process Sample Clauses
The Bumping/Displacement Process clause outlines the procedures by which employees may be reassigned or replaced within an organization, typically during workforce reductions or restructuring. This clause details the order of seniority or qualifications that determine which employees are eligible to displace others, and may specify the steps for notification, reassignment, or layoff. Its core function is to ensure a fair and transparent process for managing staff changes, minimizing disputes and providing clear guidelines for both management and employees during periods of organizational change.
Bumping/Displacement Process. When an event occurs that triggers bumping or displacement rights, the process shall be implemented in the following sequence:
1. The Department shall identify the positions or assignments to be eliminated;
2. The Department shall identify the employees to be laid off, if any, by inverse classification seniority;
3. The Department shall determine the number of positions that shall remain in each job classification on each shift;
4. If necessary, the Department shall balance the shifts in accordance with Section 16.01;
5. Laid off employees having bumping rights shall be given an opportunity to exercise their bumping rights.
6. Displaced employees having displacement rights shall be given an opportunity to exercise their displacement rights.
7. If a laid off or displaced employee selects a vacant assignment that has already been posted, the employee may be displaced by an employee with greater Classification seniority who timely submits a transfer request for the vacant assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, family members (spouse, registered domestic partner, parent, child or sibling) may not be assigned to the same rig on the same shift. If the bumping/displacement process results in two or more family members working on the same rig on the same shift, all family members other than the one having the most Department seniority among the family members, shall move to a different assignment on the same shift. If eligible, such less senior family members may exercise displacement rights under this Subd. 6.
