Bumping Rights. An employee laid off from his/her present class may bump only into the next equal or lower class in which the employee has greater seniority. The employee may continue to bump into such equal or lower classes to avoid layoff.
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 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. An employee designated to be laid off may bump into a class at the same salary level for which he or she meets the minimum qualifications, 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 laid off from his/her present classification may bump into the next lowest classification in which the employee has previously served, based upon his/her seniority date.
Bumping Rights. An employee notified of layoff may bump an employee with lower seniority in the same job classification. If no other position in the employee’s classification is available, the employee may bump an employee with lower seniority in the same pay grade or lower pay grade, provided he/she possesses the required certifications, licenses, knowledge, skill and ability to perform that job. No part-time or seasonal employee may bump a full-time employee. An employee notified of layoff must exercise his/her bumping rights in writing to the Human Resources Department within seven (7) business days of receipt of the layoff notice. In the event the employee wants to exercise his/her bumping rights and has timely notified the Human Resources Department, but does not identify which position he/she wishes to bump into, the least senior person in the classification shall be the person bumped. Employees will be given six (6) months from the date of placement to obtain the required certifications and licenses for the position. If an employee is unable to obtain the certifications and licenses within this period, then the employee shall be laid off and shall be placed on the recall list. Employees who bump into a classification they have previously held are presumed to possess the required knowledge, skills and abilities to perform that job. An employee who bumps into a new position due to layoff is eligible to move back to his/her former position should it become available within twenty-four (24) months after the effective date of his/her layoff. The right to bump back into a former position will be granted before other employees are granted recall rights to that position. Full-time employees may bump full-time and part-time employees with less seniority. Part-time employees may bump only part-time employees with less seniority and seasonal employees may bump only seasonal employees with less seniority.
Bumping Rights. When it becomes necessary to reduce the work force in any classification, classification seniority shall prevail. Seniority shall also be granted by unit member status; that is, restricted status unit members shall be reduced first; then, probationary unit members; and finally, permanent unit members within the classification. In the case of layoff in any classification, the unit member so laid off, in accordance with his/her classification seniority, may bump any unit member with less classification seniority in the following order:
Bumping Rights. 1. A member laid-off from his/her present class may bump into the next lower class in which the employee has previously served.
Bumping Rights. An employee laid off from his/her present classification may bump into the next equal or lower classification in which the employee has greater seniority, as defined in Section
Bumping Rights. A unit member laid off from the unit member's present class may bump into the next equal or lower class in which the unit member has greater seniority considering the unit member's seniority in that class and any higher classes in which the unit member has served.
