Impending Layoff. In the event management becomes aware of an impending reduction in work force, which includes a civil service displacement, it will make every effort to notify MOSES at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the layoff. Within five (5) days of notification of the impending layoff, management shall meet with MOSES to discuss the impact of the layoff on the affected employees, including the availability of similar positions within the same department/agency. Upon request, HRD will meet with MOSES and the affected department/agency and other departments/agencies with similar positions to discuss available positions and training programs. Prior to notifying employees of the reduction in force the appointing authority will first solicit volunteers for layoff within the department/agency. However, nothing contained in this article shall preclude the appointing authority from rejecting a volunteer based on the operational needs of the department/agency. During the reduction in force process, the appointing authority may also consider the termination of consultant contracts.
