Common use of Layoff and Bumping Rights Clause in Contracts

Layoff and Bumping Rights. This provision supersedes the language set forth in Article 12 Seniority, Layoff & Recall, Section 5. (Layoffs) of the Office Clerical Operational Supplement. Should it become necessary for the Employer to reduce its work force, layoffs shall be effectuated pursuant to the following process: (1) Employees will be laid off in reverse seniority order. (2) Employees may exercise seniority to bump a more junior employee in their own classification, or in another equivalent or lesser classification represented by Local 851 and covered by either the CCOS or Clerical Local Rider agreement; provided, however, that the employee meets the qualifications and requirements of the position in the new classification. If the employee does not meet the qualifications and requirements of position into which he or she desires to bump, such bump shall not be effective and the employee shall be placed in layoff status within his or her original classification. (3) An employee bumping a more junior employee pursuant to Paragraph (2) shall retain his or her seniority. An employee exercising bumping rights under this Section is not entitled to any of the rights and benefits contained in Article 26, Section 5 (Inter-Bargaining Unit Transfer), and these Sections are not to be read in conjunction with one another. The provisions of this Section are not intended to apply to positions posted or vacated pursuant to Article 26 (Job Bidding and Filling of Vacancies), nor is it intended to apply to newly-created positions, which may be filled pursuant to the provisions contained in Article 26, Section 4 (Filling of New Vacancies). Further, to the extent that an employee exercises his or her seniority to bump a “red-circled” full-time Call Center employee or employee “red- circled” for purposes of lead assignment, it is understood and agreed that such “red- circled” employee shall lose his or her “red-circle” status (for either purpose) and that his or her name shall be removed from the applicable Appendix to this Local Rider.
