The positions listed on the "Bump and Recall Form" will not be taken lightly and the employee involved should have a real conviction that he or she can perform the jobs listed. Cross-training records will also be used to determine the eligibility of employees to bump into another classification. There will be no obligation on the part of the Company to return an employee to work other than to their regular classification until they have completed the Bump and Recall form.
