Discharge/Layoff. A discharged or laid-off employee has ten (10) days from the date of discharge or layoff, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, within which to file written protest with the Union (with notice to the Employer). Said discharge shall then be subject to this Article. If no protest is filed within said ten (10) day period, or within ten (10) days of the notice specified in Article 4.3.4, all rights possessed by said employee or the Union to protest the discharge or layoff are waived.
Discharge/Layoff. Upon the next regular employer pay period after 30 days of a discharge or layoff, an Employee shall be “cashed out” of all unused PTO at the rate of 25% of the Employee’s account balance at the then applicable wage rate. If an Employee returns to work for the Employer within one (1) year, the Employee shall have their PTO balance restored, minus the “cash-out” payment at discharge or layoff. Effective October 1, 2020, the parties understand that any sick or paid time-off policy enacted by a Government agency shall be waived whenever possible. For example: the Seattle City Council has passed a bill that would add a new chapter to 14.16 of the Seattle Municipal Code requiring Employers with employees in the City of Seattle to provide paid sick time/days and paid safe time/days to their employees. The parties hereby agree that any requirement to provide any leave required by said xxxx, either in its current or amended form, or by a substitute bill is hereby waived. The waiver is made knowingly by the Union and the Employer.
