Laid off grant employees may exercise contract bumping rights as provided in this Article. However, employees may not bump into a grant position unless they meet all grant requirements. The MNA will be notified in writing prior to any termination or layoff.
Grant Positions. Grant positions are defined as positions that have alternate funding from sources outside of the Public Health Trust.

Grant positions can be full-time (scheduled for 40 hours per week) or part-time (scheduled for 30 to 35 hours per week or scheduled for under 30 hours per week). The seniority and status of employees in classifications covered by this collective bargaining agreement shall be unaffected by the source of funding, whether by grant or otherwise. As such, grant funded employees shall be provided with the same rights as all other employees covered by this collective bargaining agreement.

Such employees shall not be required to serve a new probationary period.
