LAYOFF AND RE-EMPLOYMENT A. Layoff shall be defined, for the purpose of this Article, as a termination of a permanent full-time or permanent part-time employee resulting from the elimination of the employee’s position by the Town or being displaced by an employee whose position was eliminated. The Town shall notify the Association of any intended layoffs as soon as possible prior to notification to any affected employees. An employee subject to layoff, shall receive written notice of such layoff no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such layoff. A copy of such notice shall be sent to the Association. The Department of Human Resources shall provide a copy of the relevant seniority list to the Association at the time the notice of layoff is issued to the Association. The Association may make reasonable requests, in writing, for a position’s seniority list from the Department of Human Resources, and the Department of Human Resources shall provide a copy of the requested seniority list within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the request. For the purposes of this Article, a permanent part time employee shall be deemed subject to a layoff if such employee’s regularly scheduled hours are reduced to an extent causing the employee to become an unrepresented part-time employee and therefore no longer covered by the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. In the event the Town eliminates a full time position, full time temporary followed by full time probationary employees in the affected title in that department shall be laid off prior to any permanent full time employee occupying such title in that department. In the event it becomes necessary to lay off a permanent full time employee, such layoff shall be affected in reverse order of Town-wide seniority of the permanent full time employees in the affected title in that department. A permanent full time twelve-month employee who is laid off may elect to displace in Town government, the least senior full-time employee in that title in the following order: (i) twelve-month employee in that title, (ii) eleven-month employee in that title, (iii) ten-month employee in that title, (iv) part time twelve- month employee in that title, (v) part-time eleven-month employee in that title, or

Laid Off Employees A) Should vacancies occur following layoff, those employees on layoff will be recalled to these positions in order of seniority providing they have the capabilities and the qualifications to perform the duties of the vacant position. If no employee on layoff possesses the required capabilities and qualifications, the vacant position will be posted pursuant to Article 15.01.

The list shall include the name, address, employee identification number, date of hire, rehire date (if applicable), shift, FTE, job classification, department cost center number, unit, hourly rate of pay and monthly gross earnings. Each month, the Employer will provide a list of new hires and addresses, and a list of all employees who have terminated during the month via a secured method.

New Employee Orientation The Union will provide each agency personnel director with the names and addresses of up to two (2) authorized Union representatives per agency to receive notice of each formal orientation meeting held by the Department. The notice will be sent as soon as such meetings are scheduled (but not less than ten (10) days in advance) and will include date, time and location. Due to operational exigencies, agencies may schedule an orientation which will provide the Union with less than the requisite ten (10) days' notice; however the Union shall be notified as soon as possible after the scheduling of the orientation and the Union representative shall be released from duty. Agencies shall routinely schedule orientations in a manner that will allow for the ten (10) day advance notice to the Union. During the formal orientation, the Union will be permitted to give a twenty (20) minute presentation which may include an enrollment in supplemental Union benefits. The parties shall encourage employee attendance, although attendance shall not be mandatory if an employee objects to attending the presentation. In the event a formal orientation meeting is not held, or the Union is unable to attend the formal orientation because the designated Union representatives cannot be released under Article 4, the Employer shall allow the Union representative and the employee(s) to meet during duty hours at a mutually agreed upon time and location for twenty (20) minutes Employee participation in these meetings shall be encouraged although an employee shall not be required to attend such a meeting.
