Circumventing Layoff or Bumping Process Sample Clauses
The "Circumventing Layoff or Bumping Process" clause prohibits employers or employees from bypassing established procedures for layoffs or the reassignment of employees (bumping) during workforce reductions. This clause ensures that all parties adhere to agreed-upon steps, such as seniority-based selection or notification requirements, rather than making unilateral decisions or side agreements to avoid the formal process. Its core function is to maintain fairness and transparency in workforce adjustments, preventing favoritism or arbitrary actions that could undermine employee rights or disrupt workplace order.
Circumventing Layoff or Bumping Process. If the Union has reason to believe that a promotion or reclassification took place in order to circumvent the layoff or bumping process, the Union shall have the opportunity to meet and discuss the matter with the Vice Chancellor of Employee Relations. The promotion or reclassification decision will be reviewed to ensure that actions were not taken in bad faith.
