Layoff and Reduction Clause Samples
Layoff and Reduction. Layoff shall mean a reduction in the work force. Layoff shall be accomplished in the following manner:
a. When it may for any reason be necessary to reduce the staff in any classification, the person having the lowest seniority in that classification shall be laid off first and in rehiring preference shall be given in order of seniority. All probationary employees in the classification affected shall be laid off first.
b. This detail added August 2007 provides clarification in times of lay-off. Part- time positions have been added into full-time classifications. This language is applicable only during times of lay-off. Poor attendance may disqualify an employee from bumping rights. The Association and the District agree to the following two basic principles. Seniority has always been and will continue to be protected within classification. When lay-offs occur at the bottom of a classification (part-time), the “if qualified” language will be used when bumping other classifications, where applicable, followed by seniority. “If qualified” is a minimum 70% score on a test. These positions have district tests in place and will be used in the lay-off, bumping process: Head custodian; secretarial; maintenance; computer technician; library aide; and computer aide. Full-time employees may bump less senior full-time employees, within classification. Seniority is protected within classification. The only exception shall be that the least senior full-time person who is losing full-time status in a classification can bump into another classification full-time position if total full- time seniority in LESPA overall is greater, and if the employee is immediately qualified to perform all the duties of the position. The least senior full-time employee may bump a part-time employee in the same classification. If the full-time employee being reduced to a part-time position has previous seniority in a part-time position, this time of service shall be added together for purposes of bumping into other part-time positions. Part-time employees may only bump other part-time employees, first within classification, then outside classification if qualified. At all times, persons bumping into the bus mechanic positions must be properly State Certified at the time of bumping. Time to become trained or certified will not be granted and will not be paid by the district. In times of lay-off, “highly qualified” status is the only requisite to bumping in the “aides” classification. The only...
Layoff and Reduction in Time For temporary layoffs, time to provide written notice to the affected employee (when possible) in advance of the effective date of the layoff increased to 30 calendar days from 20. For indefinite layoffs, this same notice window is increased to 60 calendar days from 30 throughout.
Layoff and Reduction. The Board may lay off employees or reduce the hours of employees for lack of work, lack of funds, or other legally authorized reasons. In the event employees are laid off and/or reduced in hours, the employees shall be laid off or reduced in hours in inverse order of seniority in the class in which the layoff and/or reduction occurs. The unit member who has been employed the shortest time as a probationary or permanent unit member in the class, plus higher classes, shall be considered to have the least seniority.
Layoff and Reduction. All layoff and reductions shall be done on a seniority basis. Where the Company reduces the number of employees in an occupation it will be done in reverse seniority starting with the most junior employee. The following guidelines shall apply:
Layoff and Reduction in Time Clarifies that management cannot go out of seniority order during a layoff if a senior employee can learn a new position within 6 months.
