Common use of Unit Layoff Clause in Contracts

Unit Layoff. If a unit layoff is determined by the Employer to be necessary, nurses will be designated for layoff within the unit in the inverse order of their seniority, providing skill, competence, ability and experience to perform the required work is considered equal in the opinion of the Employer. Any nurse subject to layoff may select another position when available from a listing of vacant positions within the Medical Center or, if eligible, a position from the Low Seniority Roster (Section 6.3), providing the nurse is qualified for the position in the opinion of the Employer. As a result of a unit layoff, the unit restructuring provisions of Section 6.2.2, Unit Merger and/or Restructuring, may be applied to the unit by the Employer.
