Bumping Into Bargaining Unit Clause Samples
The "Bumping Into Bargaining Unit" clause defines the process by which employees who are displaced from their positions, often due to layoffs or restructuring, may move into roles within the bargaining unit if they meet certain qualifications. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for eligibility, such as seniority and relevant experience, and the order in which employees may exercise their bumping rights. Its core function is to protect employees' job security by providing a structured method for reassignment, thereby minimizing involuntary terminations and ensuring fair treatment during workforce reductions.
Bumping Into Bargaining Unit. In the event of a layoff of a County employee who is working outside of the bargaining unit, that employee will have bumping rights into the bargaining unit. Employees who promote to a position outside of the bargaining unit and return within one (1) year of the date of promotion shall have no breaks in their seniority. However, if an employee is promoted out of the bargaining unit returns after one (1) year from the date the employee leaves the bargaining unit, the employee's seniority will be frozen at the length of time the employee was in the bargaining unit.
