Displacement or Bumping Rights of Employees Sample Clauses

Displacement or Bumping Rights of Employees. An Employee who is to be laid off shall first have the right to displace an employee with less continuous service in the classification of the laid-off employee. If the employee has no opportunity to displace another employee in his classification, then the employee shall have the right to displace an employee in any equal or lower (in pay grade) classification in the laid-off employee's classification series, as set forth in Article 13.01, who has less continuous service with the City. If the employee has no right to displace another employee within his classification series as set forth in Article 13.01, the employee may displace an employee in a lower classification in another classification series provided the displacing employee has greater City seniority than the employee being displaced in the lower classification in the other classification series. Displacement shall occur concurrently with or no later than two weeks after the date the employee was to be laid off from the classification held at the time of layoff. In all cases, an employee may displace a less senior employee only if the displacing employee is qualified to perform the work in the classification of the employee being displaced, meaning able to perform with minimal on-the-job training of normally one week or less. In no case will an employee who holds a Water Distribution Class 2 Operator Certificate be displaced by an employee who does not hold this certificate.
