Layoff List Computation Clause Samples

The Layoff List Computation clause defines the method by which employees are selected for layoff in the event of workforce reductions. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria used to rank or identify employees, such as seniority, job performance, or specific job classifications, and may detail the process for compiling and reviewing the list. Its core practical function is to ensure a transparent, fair, and consistent approach to determining which employees are subject to layoff, thereby reducing disputes and promoting trust in the process.

Seniority shall not be calculated nor included for any period during which the employee did not receive compensation, or for any time the employee was off work as result of a disciplinary action which was appealable and either not appealed or was sustained or modified upon appeal. For any employee who is re-employed after permanent separation, seniority shall be measured from the date of his/her most recent appointment.
Layoff List Computation. A. Every Layoff list shall be established by the Human Resources Department based on information contained in the Human Resources Department Records for each classification. B. Regular employees who held seasonal, limited term or provisional status prior to permanent appointment shall receive seniority credit for status only if the service was continuously compensated employment prior to appointment to a permanent position. One point of seniority credit shall be given for each full calendar month of full-time service (one month of full time service is 173.3 hours) in the General-Public Works or Administrative-Confidential Units. Pro rata credit shall be given where the employment is less than full-time and/or the employment is less than a full month. In the event two or more employees have the same number of seniority points, such tie shall be broken by lot.
