Bumping Rights Sample Clauses

Bumping Rights. A laid off employee may bump a junior employee, provided the laid off employee has more seniority and is willing, qualified and has the ability to do the job of the less senior employee. However, in no circumstances will an employee affect a promotion through a bump. A laid off employee who bumps a junior employee shall be paid at the rate of the classification they are bumping into, at the rate corresponding with their previous placement on the wage grid.

Bumping Rights. An employee designated to be laid off may bump into a class at the same salary level, or into the next lower classification in which such employee has previously held regular status. An employee who is bumped shall be laid off in the same manner as an employee whose position is abolished.

Bumping Rights. An employee who is laid off may displace (bump) an employee in an equal or lower job title within the bargaining unit, provided the employee has more service seniority than the employee being bumped and the employee is fully qualified to perform the duties of the job title. Following the same procedure, the employee who is bumped may displace an employee in an equal or lower job title within the bargaining unit. This process will be followed until the last employee who is eligible to bump has had the opportunity to do so.

Bumping Rights. (i) Within three (3) working days after being notified under Article 14.02 that they occupy a classification designated for layoff, those regular employees who are not to be retained in that classification and department shall be given opportunity to exercise their seniority, vis-a-vis more junior employees, by indicating their acceptance to bump into the position(s) designated by the Employer for such purposes on the basis of clauses (a) and (b) below, provided always that the bumping employee has the required qualifications, experience, skill and ability to perform the work in question. All determinations of qualifications, experience, skill and ability shall be made by the Employer in a fair and equitable fashion. Failure to accept the bump into the designated position(s), when given the opportunity under this Article 14.03, shall result in the affected employee being laid-off and placed on the recall list: (a) Firstly, an employee of lesser seniority occupying a position in the same pay grade, or failing that (b) An employee of lesser seniority occupying a position in the next or each subsequent lower pay grade. (ii) Upward bumping is not permitted under this Article, except where an employee’s position has been re-evaluated to a lower pay grade and the employee did not bump another employee at that time, upward bumping shall be permitted the next time a lay-off occurs to that employee and only to a position in their former higher pay grade. Regular part-time employees may only bump other regular part-time employees.

Bumping Rights. A. If a Classroom Assistant is laid off during the school year due to a loss in student enrollment and the same employee had obtained that position by bidding into it from a Category 6 (Lunchroom Assistant, Recess Assistant, or Ready Start Bus Assistant) position during the same school year, that employee shall be able to bump back directly to the Category 6 position he/she held immediately prior to successfully bidding on the Classroom Assistant position. B. If the Category 6 position held by the displaced Classroom Assistant is no longer in existence, the displaced employee shall be entitled to exercise bumping rights as otherwise specified in Article 9, Section 3. C. The right of a Classroom Assistant employee to revert to his/her former Category 6 position, according to the process described above, shall exist only for the balance of the initial school year in which the Category 6 employee successfully bids upon and assumes a Classroom Assistant position. In subsequent school years a displaced Classroom Assistant shall be subject to the provisions of layoff and recall as outlined in the other Sections of this Article and shall not be entitled to bump according to the procedures specified in this Section. D. If a Classroom Assistant exercises bumping rights over a Category 6 employee, according to the process described in this Section, the timelines for notification of layoff specified in Section 2 above shall be considered waived with respect to the separation of the displaced Category 6 employee. However, the Category 6 employee so displaced shall possess bumping and recall rights as specified in this Article with the exception of the right to bump the Classroom Assistant employee who has reverted to his/her former Category 6 assignment held previously in the same school year.

Bumping Rights. A worker laid off from his/her position in a class may "bump" into the next lower class in which the worker has greater seniority than another worker in that class unless there is a vacant position. If there is a vacant position in the classification the worker shall be placed in the vacant position. Should more than one person in the same classification be laid off, the affected workers in the classification (workers whose positions are being eliminated and the less senior workers who may be affected by bumping) will have the opportunity to select from a list of positions currently held by the least senior workers in the classification whose positions are not being eliminated and any vacant position in the classification. The selection process will be conducted in order of seniority with the most senior worker making the first selection. The time and location of the selection process shall be mutually agreed upon by the Union and the District. A worker who has exercised "bumping" rights shall be placed on the salary step that the worker would have attained if he/she had remained continuously in the lower class except that no worker shall be placed on a step in a salary range that is more than 3 ranges lower than his or her current salary range. A worker who has exercised “bumping” rights shall retain all service recognition and professional growth awards and all years of service towards the Service Recognition Award.

Bumping Rights. 1.

An employee shall not be deemed qualified for the purposes of this Article if the employee would require more than thirty (30) days of orientation for the position in question. In the event there is no vacant position available, same shift and classification, the employee may bump the least senior employee in the bargaining unit same shift and classification they are qualified to replace. The employee displaced will be offered the choice of any and all vacant positions available regardless of shift or classification. In the event no vacant positions are available, the employee will have the right to bump the least senior employee in the bargaining unit which the employee is qualified to replace regardless of shift or classification provided they are willing to assume the shift and classification of that employee. Where there are two (2) or more employees equally qualified to fill the vacancy, as determined by the Hospital, the employee with the greatest bargaining unit seniority shall be offered the vacant position. The employee must notify the Hospital of her/his decision to accept or reject the offered vacant position within forty eight (48) hours of the offer being made. If an employee refuses a position, that is in her/his same classification and shift, she/he forfeits all recall rights under this Article. The employee may convert to a per diem position (without recall rights) or their employment will be terminated. 2. If there are no vacant positions or bumping rights available for which a laid off employee is qualified, the employee shall be laid off. 3. A laid-off employee may convert to a per diem position.

Accepting such a layoff does not affect the employee’s reemployment rights under this Agreement. 13.5.3 When an employee was initially employed in an identifiable entry level position within an existing specific family grouping of classifications, that employee shall retain seniority for that entry level position even though the position has been reclassified and/or the title changed. However, in order to exercise this right, the employee must meet minimum qualifications required for the entry-level position.
