Common use of E. LAYOFF Clause in Contracts

E. LAYOFF. The Union agrees that budget reductions and program changes may cause, from time to time, layoffs and reduction in hours among represented employee classifications. The Union also agrees that, in accordance with Charter Section 3.501, the Department Head may reduce the forces under his/her jurisdiction to conform to the needs of the work for which he/she is responsible. In the event layoffs and reduction in hours occur among exempt or nonexempt employees covered by this MOU, the Department agrees to provide 30 days’ written notice to the affected employee(s) and the Union. Upon written request by the Union, the City will meet and discuss with the Union alternatives to layoff and/or the impact of layoff on remaining employees, provided, however, that such meet and discuss obligation shall not delay any planned layoff or reduction in hours and shall not be grievable under the grievance procedure contained in this MOU. This Layoff section does not change the Charter exempt or nonexempt status of any employees in the bargaining unit and does not affect any rights that any nonexempt employees may have under the Civil Service Rules in the event of layoff.
