Definition and Types. There will be two (2) types of seniority: Hospital seniority and Classification seniority. Hospital seniority is defined as the length of time an Employee has been continuously employed by the Hospital. Classification seniority is defined as the length of time an Employee has worked continuously in a specific job classification within a Department.
Definition and Types. In general, landslide can be defined as (Xxxxxx, 1984), Different criteria may be used for classifying landslides such as form of sliding surface, type of materials involved, rate of movement, type of movement, age and state of activity. The most commonly used classification is the one proposed by Xxxxxx (1978) and Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx (1996), which is based on two important parameters namely the type of movement and the type of material involved (Table 1). A detailed description on types of landslides can be found in Anabalgan (2007).

i) Old landslides dormant for decades or centuries, including those which are known to be dormant for decades under a thick cover of vegetation, without showing any signs of instability or activity.
ii) Old landslides which are known to be dormant for decades but are feared to activate due to neglect of slopes, ongoing developmental activities or such other reasons.
iii) Landslides only a few years old, but with no recurrent activity observed since then.
iv) Old landslides, which appear to be dangerously big, but their activity levels remain unstudied and their slope history is unknown.
v) Recent landslides with clear evidence and/unquestionable potential for repetitive activity and enlargement.
vi) Known landslides, periodically treated with partial, inadequate, temporary and non-engineered remediation.
vii) Recent small landslides, with evidence of self-healing.
viii) Landslides, old or recent, under effective (engineered) control.
