{"component": "clause", "props": {"groups": [{"snippet": "A. Should the administration determine that it is necessary to reduce the workforce by elimination of positions or reduction in work hours or workdays, such reductions shall be accomplished in accordance with this Article. The word layoff shall mean a reduction in the employee workforce due to a decrease in work, lack of funds, change in educational program, or a reduction in students in the district, in the building, or in a program. A reduction in work hours or workdays shall not constitute a layoff.\nB. Except as referenced regarding Building Staff in Article 9, B, and Article 11, O., 4, employees who are to be laid off shall be given no less than thirty (30) calendar days written notice. Further, except for those Building Staff referenced in Article 9., B and Article 11, O., 4, employees whose work hours or workdays are reduced during the school year shall be given no less than ten (10) workdays written notice. Should it become necessary to layoff staff or reduce the number of work hours of employees in a particular classification of employees or to reduce the number of employees work hours in all classifications, such layoffs or reductions shall be by seniority and job classification. In regard to all bumping referenced herein, including both Office Staff and Building Staff, the parties agree to the following: \uf0b7 If any specific bumping sequence would result in a less senior employee bumping into a position of greater days and/or hours than a more senior employee who had bumped an employee earlier in said specific bumping sequence the more senior employee who was bumped will have the option of bumping into said position of greater days and/or hours; or \uf0b7 When bumping occurs, if any less senior employee within the same classification is increased in hours, the more senior employee who was bumped will have the option of bumping into said position of greater days and/or hours; \uf0b7 Any vacancy that exists is considered to be the \u201cleast senior employee\u201d in terms of the bumping process. The following procedures will be followed: \uf0b7 Reductions and eliminations of positions will be by the following five (5) Employee Classification Groups. Office Staff (Wage Class I) Office Staff (Wage Class Ia.) Office Staff (Wage Class II) Office Staff (Wage Class III) Building Staff (Wage Class IV) \uf0b7 The District shall determine the position(s) within each classification and the classification within each classification Group to be reduced or eliminated. \uf0b7 The reductions or eliminations necessary in each classification group of employees will be made by probationary, temporary and part-time employees in the classification group being laid off or reduced first and if further reductions are necessary the employee with least seniority shall be laid off or reduced. Employees affected by such reductions or eliminations are not allowed to bump a more senior employee or an employee in a higher classification but may bump as follows:\n1. Full-time Office Staff (40 hours/week)\na. Except for a Clerk I who shall in no circumstances be bumped by any employee other than another Clerk I, full-time employees whose jobs have been eliminated or reduced in hours or workdays or who have been bumped because of such eliminations or reductions may bump the least senior person within her/his classification group working the same number of scheduled workdays per year. For such reduced jobs, an employee may opt to remain in her/his job rather than bump. If there are no less senior employees in the same classification group working the same number of days per year, the employee will have the option of either bumping the least senior employee in the classification group working more days per year than the more senior employee or the least senior employee in the classification group working fewer days per year nearest in number to the working days per year of the senior employee. [A 230 day or teacher work year + days to equal 230 (12 month) employee who is bumped and who would have no option other than bumping into a position of fewer workdays may exercise the option of bumping the least senior 230 day or teacher work year + days to equal 230 (12 month) employee in the next lower paying classification group rather than bump into a position consisting of less than 230 days.] If there are no less senior employees in the classification group, the employee may bump into the next lower classification group.\nb. Full-time employees bumped into the next lower classification group under section B., 1., a. above will have the option of bumping the least senior person in the next lower paying classification group with the same number of scheduled workdays per year, a less senior employee in the classification group working the greatest number more days per year than the more senior employee, or the least senior employee in the classification group working fewer days per year nearest in number to the working days per year of the more senior employee.\nc. Before an Office Staff employee can bump an Office Staff employee at the same or lower level, s/he must demonstrate all skills and qualifications referenced in Article 11, N, 2, a-d (d applies only to Clerk I and Clerk II positions and the General Educational Services Secretary Ia position) as determined by District instruments. Without such demonstration, such an employee will bump into a Media Paraprofessional or Building Staff position following the bumping procedure referenced above. In such a situation in which an Office Staff employee is bumped into a Media Paraprofessional or Building Staff position s/he will be presumed qualified and will be paid the hourly wage rate of her/his former Office Staff position for a period of six (6) months or until such employee does not apply for transfer to an Office Staff position. In such case when an employee does not so apply for transfer or has not become qualified for transfer as referenced in Article 11, N, 2, a-d within the six (6) month period referenced herein the hourly wage rate and number of hours immediately would revert to that of the Media Paraprofessional or Building Staff position held.\nd. If more than one position is eliminated in a classification group during a layoff, the least senior employees in each classification group will be laid off or bumped down and to the extent possible, people remaining in a classification group will retain their current position. If an opportunity to select between two jobs exists, the more senior employee will be given first choice.\ne. Bumping shall continue until all employees have the option of selecting a position with the most days according to seniority or, when resulting in layoff, the least senior employee(s) is (are) laid off. If said bumping occurs during a staffing meeting, it is understood that the above seniority provision applies only to employees who have remained at said staffing meeting.\n2. Part-time Office Staff (less than 40 hours/week)\na. Part-time employees whose jobs have been eliminated or reduced in hours or workdays or who have been bumped because of such elimination or reduction may bump the least senior person within her/his classification group working the same number of scheduled work hours per week. For such reduced jobs, an employee may opt to remain in her/his job rather than bump. If there are no less senior employees in the same classification group working the same number of hours per week, the employee will have the option of bumping the least senior employee in the classification group working more hours per week than the more senior employee or the least senior employee in the classification group working fewer hours per week nearest in number to the working hours per week of the senior employee. [A 230 day or teacher workyear plus days to equal 230 (12 month) employee who is bumped and would have no option other than bumping into a position of fewer work days may exercise the option of bumping the least senior 230 day or teacher workyear plus days to equal 230 (12 month) employee in the next lower paying classification group rather than bump into a position consisting of less than 230 days.] If there are no less senior employees in the classification group, the employee may bump into the next lower classification group.\nb. Part-time employees bumped into the next lower paying classification group under Section B, 2, a. above will have the option of bumping the least senior person in the next lower paying classification group with the same number of scheduled work hours per week, the least senior employee in the classification group working more hours per week than the more senior employee, or the least senior employee in the classification group working fewer hours per week nearest in number to the working hours per week of the senior employee.\nc. Before an Office Staff employee can bump an Office Staff employee at the same or lower level, s/he must demonstrate all skills and qualifications referenced in Article 11, N, 2, a-d (d applies only to Clerk I and Clerk II positions) as determined by the District instruments. Without such demonstration, such an employee will bump into the Building Staff classification group following the procedure referenced in 1, a. above. In such a situation in which an Office Staff employee is bumped into a Building Staff position s/he will be presumed qualified and will be paid the hourly wage rate and work the number of hours per week of her/his former office staff position for a period of six (6) months or until such employee does not apply for transfer to an Office Staff position. In such case when an employee does not so apply for transfer or has not become qualified for transfer as referenced in Article 11, N, 2, a-d, within the six months period referenced herein the hourly wage rate and number of hours would revert immediately to that of the Building Staff position held.\nd. If more than one position is eliminated in a classification group during a layoff, the least senior employees in each classification group will be laid off or bumped down and to the extent possible, people remaining in a classification group will retain their current position. If an opportunity to select between two jobs exists, the more senior employee will be given first choice.\ne. Bumping shall continue until all employees have the option of selecting a position with the most days/hours according to seniority or, when resulting in layoff, least senior employee(s) is (are) laid off. If said bumping occurs during a staffing meeting, it is understood that the above seniority provision applies only to employees who have remained at said staffing meeting. Office Staff who have bumped as referenced herein due to a job being reduced in hours or workdays shall have up to a twenty (20) workday trial period in which to perform the new job. At the option of the employee, s/he may opt to return to her/his previous job at any time during this trial period. In the event of an employee being absent during her/his trial period, the number of days absent will be added to the trial period.", "snippet_links": [{"key": "the-administration", "type": "clause",
