Demotion A demotion shall mean the transfer of an employee to a lower level position of less responsibility as well as salary.
Layoff A layoff of an employee shall be deemed to occur when an employee is removed from the work schedule for one (1) week or more due to lack of work.
Demotions By mutual agreement, a grievance falling into any of these categories may be placed into the expedited arbitration process.
Layoff Recall Section 1. Bargaining unit employees shall be laid off and recalled on the basis of available work within each job classification. Layoffs shall be in reverse order of seniority and recalls shall be in order of seniority; provided however, that in order to avoid layoff and in order to be subject to recall, the most senior employee within the affected classification must be qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all available work. Any gross abuse of the University's discretion to judge qualifications shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Any employee who would otherwise be laid off may bump (i.e., replace) the least senior employee in another bargaining unit job classification if they previously held such job with the University and remain qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all work available in the job into which they are bumping. An employee who elects not to bump shall not lose their right to recall to the employee’s regular job, but shall lose their bumping rights for the duration of the layoff. When it becomes necessary to lay off an employee, such employee shall, if possible, be notified at least ten (10) work days before the layoff occurs; provided, however, such notice shall not be required with respect to temporary layoffs or lack of work occasioned by breakdown of machinery, floods, fires, utility failures, Acts of God, or other causes beyond the University's control. When an employee is to be recalled from layoff, the University shall notify the employee by telephone (confirmed by certified or hand delivered letter, copy to Chief Xxxxxxx) specifying the time to report back to work, which notice shall, if possible, not be less than five (5) work days prior to the reporting time. In order to be eligible for recall, any employee who is laid off must keep the University currently advised in writing of their current whereabouts, address and telephone number, and any temporary changes thereof. The employee shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of recall, notify the University if for any reason the employee cannot report for work at the specified time. In the event an employee is unable to return to work due to illness or injury certified by a physician, the employee shall not lose their right to subsequent recall but the University may pass them over in order to fill an available position.
Layoff and Recall (a) A layoff of employees shall be made on the basis of seniority, based on an integrated seniority list of all hours paid since date of last hire. It is understood and agreed that through the bumping procedure the first to be laid off are probationary employees followed by those who work casual part-time shifts. No agency or new hires will be used when there is an employee on layoff provided that the employees on layoff will meet the staffing requirements of the Home. An employee will not be laid off out of seniority order if her lack of qualification for a junior employee’s shift can be remedied by a three (3) day orientation to that shift. An employee will not be denied recall to a shift if her lack of qualification for the recall opportunity can be remedied by a three (3) day orientation to that shift.
Involuntary Demotion An employee assigned to a lower rated position shall continue to be paid at the employee's current rate of pay until the rate of pay in the new position equals or exceeds it.
LAYOFF AND RE-EMPLOYMENT A. Layoff shall be defined, for the purpose of this Article, as a termination of a permanent full-time or permanent part-time employee resulting from the elimination of the employee’s position by the Town or being displaced by an employee whose position was eliminated. The Town shall notify the Association of any intended layoffs as soon as possible prior to notification to any affected employees. An employee subject to layoff, shall receive written notice of such layoff no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such layoff. A copy of such notice shall be sent to the Association. The Department of Human Resources shall provide a copy of the relevant seniority list to the Association at the time the notice of layoff is issued to the Association. The Association may make reasonable requests, in writing, for a position’s seniority list from the Department of Human Resources, and the Department of Human Resources shall provide a copy of the requested seniority list within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the request. For the purposes of this Article, a permanent part time employee shall be deemed subject to a layoff if such employee’s regularly scheduled hours are reduced to an extent causing the employee to become an unrepresented part-time employee and therefore no longer covered by the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. In the event the Town eliminates a full time position, full time temporary followed by full time probationary employees in the affected title in that department shall be laid off prior to any permanent full time employee occupying such title in that department. In the event it becomes necessary to lay off a permanent full time employee, such layoff shall be affected in reverse order of Town-wide seniority of the permanent full time employees in the affected title in that department. A permanent full time twelve-month employee who is laid off may elect to displace in Town government, the least senior full-time employee in that title in the following order: (i) twelve-month employee in that title, (ii) eleven-month employee in that title, (iii) ten-month employee in that title, (iv) part time twelve- month employee in that title, (v) part-time eleven-month employee in that title, or
Recall from Layoff Full-time and regular part-time nurses shall be recalled in the order of seniority unless otherwise agreed between the Hospital and the local Union, subject to the following provisions, provided that a nurse recalled is qualified to perform the available work:
Layoff Order Seasonal employees shall be seasonally laid off in inverse order of Classification Seniority (State Seniority for Units 4 and 6) within the employment condition, seniority unit and principal place of employment of the affected position(s) unless waived by mutual agreement between the employee and the Appointing Authority.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff The appointing authority shall determine by class, subject to review by the Director, whether demotion shall be afforded employees as an option in lieu of layoff. At the request of the appointing authority, a permanent employee shall, in lieu of layoff, be afforded the option of demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class, provided that no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff or demotion from such lower class of any employee whose layoff rating is at least as high as that of the demoting employee. A probationary employee may be afforded the opportunity to accept a demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class provided no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff of any employee in the lower class. Such probationer shall not become permanent in the lower class by this action except by completing a new full probation period in such lower class.
