Common use of COOKS AND CUSTODIANS Clause in Contracts

COOKS AND CUSTODIANS. (a) In the event of a reduction in force, probationary and temporary employees shall be laid off before any regular employee within the job title where the layoff occurs. In the event it is necessary to decrease the working forces further, the regular employees with the least unit seniority in the job title where the layoff occurs shall be laid off first. Job titles where layoffs will occur shall be at the sole discretion of the Board. (b) An employee designated to be laid off from his/her presently assigned job title will be so informed at least thirty (30) days prior to the layoff’s effective date with the following bumping options into a job title s/he has held for at least one year: (1) Within five (5) working days of receipt of official notice of impending layoff the employee designated for layoff may replace the employee with the least unit seniority in the job title provided the replaced employee has less unit seniority than the employee who wishes to replace him/her. (2) If an employee has previously held more than one other job title, the rights of the preceding paragraph may be exercised in more than one job title only in the order corresponding to the duration of time the employee previously held the job title and only until the employee is able to replace another employee. (3) If an employee is not able, consistent with the preceding two paragraphs, to replace another employee, s/he will be laid off. (4) It is understood that any employee exercising the above bumping rights shall assume the job title into which s/he has bumped at the same numbered step held immediately prior to the bump, if it exists, but no more than the maximum step allowed for the job title into which the employee bumped. Qualified, laid-off employees who wish to fill a temporary or substitute position will be given first preference for such positions, as they become available. (d) Employees on layoff shall be recalled in order of greatest applicable unit seniority to an open position within the job title from which they were laid off or, for which they are qualified. If an employee on layoff is recalled to a position with the same job title as the one from which s/he was laid off and rejects such recall s/he shall lose all of his/her recall rights and his/her continuous service shall be broken and employment relationship severed.
