Bumping or Displacement Clause Samples
The Bumping or Displacement clause defines the process by which employees whose positions are eliminated or affected by organizational changes may move into other roles, potentially displacing less senior employees. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for eligibility, such as seniority or qualifications, and the order in which employees may exercise their rights to bump into available positions. Its core function is to protect employee job security during layoffs or restructuring by providing a structured method for reassignment, thereby minimizing involuntary terminations and ensuring fair treatment based on established rules.
Bumping or Displacement. Laid-off employees by seniority shall have one option to either;
a) Displace the least senior within the same like classification or;
b) Bump the least senior within the same like classification series or;
c) Be laid off and await recall to the district where the layoff occurred.
Bumping or Displacement. Employees laid off or abolished shall be afforded their available bumping/ displacement options. Displacement shall be to an equal or lower position for which the affected employee is qualified to perform the duties. Less than full time (LTFT) employees cannot bump/displace full-time employees. An employee may choose to accept a lay off and not exercise their bumping rights without relinquishing any recall rights. All laid off/abolished bargaining unit employees by bargaining unit seniority shall first have the option to bump within the applicable facility or agreed upon layoff jurisdiction within their department as set forth in Appendix B in the following order:
1. To displace the least senior within the same classification or;
2. To bump the least senior within the same classification series. The least senior affected employee in the facility/jurisdiction may bump the least senior employee in their classification statewide. If the least senior affected employee in the facility/jurisdiction is full-time, that employee will be canvassed and offered the opportunity to bump to a LTFT position in the facility/jurisdiction rather than bumping/displacing into a full-time position in their classification statewide. A full-time employee may bump a LTFT regardless of seniority, however the full-time employee must select the least senior employee from the LTFT appointment types within the applicable facility/jurisdiction. With the Departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Developmental Disabilities this Article only applies to permanent appointment types.
