Recall Employees who have been laid off shall be re-employed in seniority order from most senior to least senior. Employees whose positions have been eliminated through layoff or otherwise, shall be called first to fill a vacancy within their job family. 1. Prior to other employees being recalled from the recall list, an employee who displaced another employee pursuant to provisions contained in this article shall have the right to be recalled to a vacant position for which they are qualified. However, the employee who displaces another employee shall not be eligible for a position at a higher pay grade than the one he/she originally held at the time of layoff. If the employee who displaced another employee fills a vacancy in his/her original department, then the employee whom he/she displaced will automatically be recalled into the position from which he/she previously held. After this process, other employees will be recalled to fill a vacancy for which they are qualified in the same department they were assigned at the time of their layoff. 2. Employees may be offered a position outside their department/program for which they are qualified. Employees may refuse a position outside their department/program. Employees who refuse such a position a second time shall have no further rights to recall. 3. Each employee on layoff shall be required to provide the District Personnel Office, in writing, with a current address to which a letter of recall may be sent. Employees being recalled shall be notified by “Certified Mail Delivery Confirmation” and shall have five (5) working days from the date of the receipt of notice to respond to the School Board’s offer and return to work. The School Board reserves the right to temporarily assign an employee to the vacancy until the recalled employee reports to work. If the letter is mailed to the address provided by the employee and is returned to the School Board because the address is incorrect, the School Board has fulfilled the obligation of this sub-section. If the School Board does not receive an affirmative response, the employee will be moved to the bottom of the recall list. If the recall notice is returned in the allotted time, yet not marked appropriately by the Human Resources & Equity Department, the employee shall retain his/her place on the recall list for the next job opening for which he/she is qualified. However, after the third returned notice, the employee’s name will be dropped from the recall list and the School Board shall have no further obligation to the employee. 4. An employee whose contract is non-renewed due to reorganization shall be entitled to recall rights for a layoff period of eighteen (18) months. All other employees shall be entitled to recall rights for a layoff period of twelve (12) months. 5. The employee laid off pursuant to this Article shall be given the opportunity to continue insurance coverages in existing programs during the layoff provided that the premium for such insurance programs shall be paid by the employee on a monthly basis in advance of the month due. 6. No new or substitute appointments may be made while there are laid off employees available who are qualified to fill the vacancies, except that employees may be hired into positions that have been offered and refused by employees on the layoff/recall list.
