REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Sec. 2401
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. A. General Provisions: Seniority is the deciding factor in reduction in force within an employee classification. Reduction in force will be initiated as follows:
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. In the event an employee's position is abolished, an employee shall be permitted to bump as follows, providing the employee is qualified to perform the work and meets the skills, knowledge and ability requirements for the position which have been designated in existing classification specifications by the Bureau of Human Resources:
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. In all cases of layoff, system-wide seniority shall prevail where the senior employee holds a first-class certificate appropriate for the subject field and/or grade level of a remaining position. When the teacher holds a second-class certificate, the Board may disregard seniority except as between two (2) or more such senior employees holding the same type certificate. Seniority shall include uninterrupted service and approved leave time computed from the date on which the employee signed his/her individual professional contract of employment. Unit I members on layoff who maintain at least a Standard Professional Certificate shall be recalled in order of their seniority as vacancies become available in teaching fields in which they have had teaching experience in Wicomico County. If the person accepts full-time employment under a teaching contract in another Maryland public school system, recall rights will be forfeited unless:
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. In the event of layoff, the City shall lay off in inverse order of employment in the class and department involved. The Department head shall give written notice to the employees affected by a layoff four (4) weeks before the effective date of the action. If there is a recall within fourteen (14) months for positions made vacant by a layoff, available laid-off employees shall be recalled according to classification and seniority. Seniority and accumulated leave (if not paid to the employee upon layoff) shall be restored to the level attained at the time of layoff if recalled within fourteen (14) months. Employees who are eligible for recall shall be sent a recall notice by registered mail, return receipt requested. The employee must notify the City Manager within three (3) weeks after receiving the notice of recall of their intention to return to work. Failure by the employee to so notify the City Manager shall represent a decision not to accept the recall. The City shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations under this section by mailing the recall notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the last address provided by the employee. It shall be the obligation and responsibility of the employee to immediately notify the City Manager of any changes in mailing address during the fourteen (14) month period from layoff provided by this section, or extension thereof.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Subject to the provisions of this AGREEMENT, the COMMITTEE retains the right to determine the number of teaching positions and other professional positions that are needed in the school system and also retains the right to determine the employees to be laid off and recalled.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Should reductions-in-force become necessary, the Company will retain employees with the best performance or as warranted by business need in each job classification.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Sec. 2401 LAYOFF PROCEDURES: Whenever there is a reduction in force, one or more of the following, at the discretion of the appointing authority, may occur until the situation which necessitated the reduction in force has been eliminated.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Reduction in force shall be defined as the reduction of, the elimination of, or the failure to fill a position in the bargaining unit.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Subject to its obligations under pre-existing labor agreements and applicable municipal and state laws and regulations, School District shall use reasonable efforts not to terminate any employed Teacher from his/her teaching position in the event of a reduction in force (RIF), layoffs, “leveling” or other elimination or consolidation of teaching positions within School District. School District shall treat any Teacher employed in connection with this Agreement whose teaching position is eliminated at least as favorably as other teachers with the same job classification, certification status, and/or seniority rights. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation is limited and controlled by any obligations that the School District has under any pre-existing collective bargaining agreements and applicable municipal and state laws and regulations.
