Workforce Reductions Sample Clauses
The Workforce Reductions clause outlines the procedures and requirements that must be followed when an employer needs to reduce the number of employees, whether through layoffs, terminations, or other means. Typically, this clause specifies notice periods, severance obligations, and any consultation or notification requirements with employees or unions. Its core practical function is to ensure that workforce reductions are conducted in a fair, transparent, and legally compliant manner, thereby protecting both the employer from legal risk and the employees from abrupt or unfair dismissal.
Workforce Reductions. SECTION 1 Layoffs
(A) When employees, certified pursuant to Chapter 633, Florida Statutes, are to be laid off, the state shall implement such layoff in the following manner:
(1) The competitive area within which layoffs will be affected shall be defined as statewide within each agency.
(2) Layoff shall be by class or occupational level within the fire service bargaining unit.
(3) An employee who does not have permanent status in his current position may be laid off without applying the provision for retention rights.
(4) No employee with permanent status in his current position shall be laid off while an employee who does not hold permanent status is serving in that broadband level, unless the permanent employee does not elect to exercise his retention rights or does not meet the selective competition criteria.
(5) All employees who have permanent status in their current position in the affected broadband level shall be ranked on a layoff list based on the total retention points derived as follows:
(a) Length of service retention points shall be based on one point for each month of continuous service in a Career Service position.
1) An employee who resigns from one Career Service position to accept employment in another Career Service position is not considered to have a break in service.
2) An employee who has been laid off and is reemployed within one year from the date of the layoff shall not be considered to have a break in service.
3) Moving from Career Service to Selected Exempt Service or Senior Management Service and back to Career Service does not constitute a break in service unless the employee’s break in service is more than 31 calendar days. Only time spent in the Career Service can be counted in calculating retention points.
(b) Retention points deducted for performance not meeting performance standards or work expectations defined for the position shall be based on the five years immediately prior to the agency’s established cutoff date. One (1) point shall be deducted for each month an employee has a rating below performance expectations.
(6) The layoff list shall be prepared by totaling retention points. Employees eligible for veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1)(a) or (b), Florida Statutes, shall have 15 percent added to their total retention points, those eligible pursuant to section 295.07(1)(c), (d), or (e), Florida Statutes, shall have ten percent added to their total retention points, and those eligible pursuant to sect...
