Common use of Layoff Plan Clause in Contracts

Layoff Plan. The City Manager, in consultation with the City Council, shall determine the area(s) and position(s) in which layoffs may occur, including the identification of the department, division, work unit, class, and specific position. When a list of the affected areas and/or positions has been prepared, a copy shall be submitted to all affected and recognized employee organizations, and these regulations shall prevail as to the method and manner for implementing such layoffs. Layoffs of employees shall be on a city-wide, classification basis. Employees holding temporary, seasonal, part-time, probationary, or provisional appointments shall be laid off first. Employees serving in a regular part- time position shall be laid off second. Employees in classified service who have completed probation (i.e. regular classified employees) shall be laid off last. Should it become necessary to layoff regular classified employees, the person(s) laid off shall be those with the least service credit within an identified position in the affected department. If two (2) or more employees in this circumstance possess essentially the same amount of service credit, the City Manager shall determine which person shall be laid off on the basis of efficiency and effectiveness.
