Advance Notice of Lay-Off. The Employer shall give the Union and Employees who are to be laid off as much advance notice as possible and in no case less than thirty (30) working days prior to the effective day of layoff. If the employee has not had the opportunity to work the days as provided in this Article, she shall be paid for the days for which work was not made available. During the period of notice, affected Employees shall be allowed up to five (5) working days off with pay to engage in a job search and to attend to personal matters. Such days off are to be taken at a time agreed upon by the Employee and the Employer. An Employee's request shall not be unreasonably denied. Individual employees shall receive no less notice than required under the Employment Standards Act (Ontario). Where an original layoff results in the subsequent displacement of any member(s) of the bargaining unit, the original notice to the Union provided shall be considered notice to the Union or any affected employee of any subsequent bumping or lay-off. However, no individual employee shall receive less notice than required under the Employment Standards Act (Ontario).
