Bumping Options Clause Samples
A Bumping Options clause defines the right of a party, typically an employer, to reassign or displace employees based on seniority or other criteria during workforce reductions or restructuring. In practice, this means that a more senior employee whose position is eliminated may have the option to "bump" a less senior employee from their job, thereby retaining employment at the expense of the junior employee. This clause helps manage layoffs in a structured and equitable manner, ensuring that decisions are made according to predetermined rules and reducing disputes over job security.
Bumping Options. In the event of a layoff affected nurses, by seniority, shall have the following options to displace other nurses provided the nurse is qualified to perform the duties of the bumped nurse. For purposes of layoff, “qualified” shall mean the ability to independently provide safe, direct patient care and supervision and delegation to other care providers for the standard caseload on the unit, based on the job description, with up to three (3) weeks of retraining.
Bumping Options. 1. For the purposes of bumping, any vacant position the District intends to fill shall be considered the least senior position in the job classification.
2. The Member whose position is affected as described above in Section 7.1 A, shall have the right to “bump” the least senior Member within the same range of pay (Appendix B) and the same classification in any program in the same Job Group (Appendix C).
3. Should such Member not have sufficient seniority to bump within the same classification, the Member shall have the right to bump the least senior Member in a different classification in the same range of pay (Appendix B) and Job Group (Appendix C).

4. Should such Member not have sufficient seniority or fail to qualify to bump into a different classification within the same range of pay (Appendix B) and Job Group (Appendix C), the Member shall have the right to bump the least senior Member in any classification in a lower range of pay within the same Job Group (Appendix C).
5. If a Member elects to bump, the District will first attempt to place them into the least senior position with equal days and hours in the same salary range equal to their position at the time of layoff. If the Member is placed in such position they will be considered to be made whole and not be eligible for recall.
6. In addition to the layoff and bumping rights listed in Section 7.1 Members shall be given the opportunity at the time of layoff, in the letter to be returned to the District, to designate other specific layoff and bumping elections. The options available to Members in this letter shall be:
a. Elect not to bump into a position with more days and hours without forfeiting their right to bump into a position with equal or less annual hours.
b. Accept layoff, remain in their reduced position and be placed on the recall list
c. If a bumping placement would result in more than a five percent (5%) reduction in overall wage compensation the Member may elect to decline the placement, be laid off and placed on the recall list.
d. If a bumping placement would result in the Member being placed outside of a fifty (50) mile radius of their current duty station the Member may elect to decline that position and be placed in the next least senior position within a fifty (50) mile radius of their current duty station.
