Effects of Layoff. The City will place employees in other departments if comparable vacant positions exist for which the employee is eligible and qualified and in the event that none exist, will contact other employers in order to help employees find other jobs if possible. The City will also provide referrals for job and career counseling, training and job fairs. The City will maintain its level of contributions to all health and welfare benefits for laid off employees for three (3) months following the effective date of the layoff or until the employee is employed elsewhere, whichever occurs first. This Article satisfies the City’s obligation to meet and confer in connection with layoffs and the effects of layoff, except as provided below. Upon request, the City shall meet with the Union to discuss alternatives to such layoff. Such discussion will not delay implementation of the layoff unless the City agrees so.
