Common use of Reduction in Work Hours Clause in Contracts

Reduction in Work Hours. The Employer will endeavor to implement any reduction in the hours to be worked by a particular classification through the layoff of employees, but reserves the right to implement the reduction in hours by a reduction in the normal workday or workweek. If the District finds it necessary to reduce the work hours of an employee, the Board will consult with the Union to explore alternative courses and/or explain to the Union why a reduction is necessary. If the Board reduces a position, the employee holding that position has the right to displace the least senior employee with the same number of hours or the greatest portion thereof in order to maintain their original hours. An employee wishing to exercise their right to displace a less senior employee must do so by submitting a written letter to the Superintendent within 7 days of their initial notification of their reduction in hours. Qualifications will be based on the job description. In the event no position exists in the classification whereby the employee can maintain their work hours, the employee may either accept the reduced hours or take a voluntary layoff.
