Employee Laid Off or Displaced to Lower Graded Position. When a position from which an employee was laid off or displaced to a lower-graded position becomes available during the two (2) years following the employee’s layoff or displacement to a lower graded position, the employee who held that position prior to the layoff/displacement process shall have the right to return to the position from which she/he was laid off or displaced without regard to such employee’s seniority. Such right to return to the position from which the employee was laid off or displaced to a lower graded position shall expire upon the employee’s refusal to return to such position or two years from the date the employee was laid off or displaced, whichever comes first. If the employee accepts the offer to return to the position from which she/he was laid off or displaced, he/she shall be removed from the recall list. If an employee declines the offer to return to the position from which she/he was laid off/displaced, her/his right to return to such position shall be extinguished, and the Library shall offer the position to qualified employees, if any, on the recall list who are at or above the grade level of the position in order of seniority.
