LAY-OFF SEQUENCE Clause Examples

The Lay-Off Sequence clause establishes the order in which employees are to be temporarily laid off when workforce reductions are necessary. Typically, this clause outlines criteria such as seniority, job classification, or specific skills to determine which employees are affected first and which are retained longer. By providing a clear and predetermined process, the clause ensures fairness and transparency in layoff decisions, reducing disputes and uncertainty during periods of reduced work.

Management will exercise its discretion at the end of the job trial period to determine the employee's ability to do the job on a permanent basis. These trial periods apply to all bargaining unit positions except ones that require formal academic credentials.

Section 3. Staffing in the event that economic conditions require the layoff of full-time personnel, it is agreed as follows: a. No layoff shall reduce full-time personnel below three (3) employees working 24/48 schedules. b. If the City desires to reduce the employee's below three (3), the City must be declared in fiscal emergency by the auditor of state and reopen the contract to negotiate such changes, subject to fact-finding and conciliation if the parties are unable to agree.

When it is determined by the Employer that regular full-time employees must be laid off, the employees affected will be laid off within six (6) months and according to lowest seniority and lowest EMS certification level first, provided that the employee(s) retained have the immediate skill and ability to perform the jobs to which they will be assigned. ‘ Section 5. No new bargaining unit employees shall be hired until all employees who have been laid off with recall rights have been given the opportunity to return to work. Laid-off employees will be notified by registered mail at their last known address to return to work within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of notification. Failure to report within the time limit will remove them from the recall list. Section 6. Employees will retain their seniority for a period of twenty-four (24) months or the amount of their accrued seniority whichever is shorter and may be reinstated during this period. Employees will be recalled in reverse order of their layoff subject to their skill and ability to perform the job to which they are recalled. Section 7.

If the employee is not thus placed, then 2.3 in the next lower classification and in the same manner in successively lower classifications. 2.4 A surplus employee who cannot be placed in accordance with the above shall be laid off. However, employees subjected to layoff shall not suffer any loss of seniority, provided the employee returns to work within a six (6) month period. 2.5 A surplus employee may elect to fill a vacancy in a lower classification or be laid off. 2.5.1 “Must hire” process a. In the event that insufficient appropriated funding to work locations within the District results in the displacement of bargaining unit employees, the District will assign employees as “must hires.” b. Employees will be offered placement in openings within their job title and classification nearest the location from which they were displaced. Seniority will determine priority in placement. The employee may choose an alternate vacancy in the event of multiple vacancies. A list of all job placements will be provided monthly to the Union. If there are no vacancies in the employee’s job title, the employee may choose to enter another job classification for which he/she is qualified to perform. In accordance with Article 15, paragraph 3, if there is a vacancy in a higher classification, the employee may apply in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 4. c. When the District declares a “hiring freeze” to all outside personnel, all vacancies will be open to transfer until they are filled. Jobs will be posted for current employees. Once it has been determined that there is an internal “qualified” applicant, the vacancy will be filled in accordance with Article 12, paragraphs 3 and 4. d. This section gives direction only to displaced employees by creating an end of month summary of job placements and establishing a process by which positions are offered.
