AREA OF LAYOFF. The department determines the area of layoff, including designated geographical, organizational or functional subdivision of a State agency.
AREA OF LAYOFF. The City shall determine the area(s) and positions in which layoffs may occur, including the identification of the division, work unit, class, and specific position. When a list of the affected areas and/or positions has been prepared, the City will give notice to EGPOA prior to implementation of the layoff, and upon request, shall meet with EGPOA in good faith regarding the impact of the layoff and, consistent with Article XIII, Section 1, Subsection H. Unless agreed otherwise, the following layoff procedures shall be followed:
(1) Employees holding temporary, seasonal, part-time, probationary, or provisional appointments shall be laid off first. Employees serving in a regular part-time position shall be laid off second. Employees who have completed probation (i.e. permanent employees) shall be laid off last. Employees off work on approved leave (workers compensation, disability leave, etc.) who are identified for layoff shall be laid off in the same manner as if the employee was on active duty.
(2) Should it become necessary to lay off permanent employees, the employees laid off shall be those with the least service credit within the identified classifications in the department. If two (2) or more employees in this circumstance possess essentially the same amount of service credit, the City Manager shall determine which person shall be laid off on the basis of efficiency and effectiveness. Nothing in this section shall delay or limit the City’s right to lay off employees.
