Layoff Notification. Layoffs which are necessary shall be on the basis of inverse classification seniority within the class/class option, employment condition (full-time unlimited, part-time unlimited, seasonal full-time, seasonal part-time, or intermittent), and geographic area (within thirty-five [35] miles of the work location) of the position to be eliminated. The Appointing Authority shall send a layoff notice to the employee within the position to be eliminated. At the Appointing Authority’s discretion, an employee under notice of permanent layoff may continue in payroll status for up to eighty (80) hours of paid leave. Such leave shall not extend beyond the date of layoff and shall not be subject to the Application and Reinstatement Sections of Article 14, Leaves of Absence. Prior to the implementation of a layoff, the Employer and the Association may mutually agree to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) providing for the voluntary layoff of employees with more classification seniority in lieu of those less senior employees who would otherwise be laid off. A more senior employee requesting layoff under this provision shall not be unreasonably denied consideration to be laid off by the Appointing Authority.
