Common use of For layoff purposes Clause in Contracts

For layoff purposes. If there is a tie in length of service, an Officers’ Review Board either consisting of Fire Captains and a union representative (for Firefighter and Fire Engineer review) or Battalion Chiefs, other Captains and a union representative (for Fire Captain review) would be convened. After reaching consensus, the Board would make a recommendation to the Fire Chief as to which employees would have greater seniority. To determine who has greater seniority, the Review Board would consider among other things, the following: previous performance evaluations, personal professional development before and during city employment, part- time reserve training and experience with the City, current job related skills, and other job related criteria. (The Board would only be convened if there is a tie in length of service that needed to be resolved in a lay-off situation.)
