LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS In the event of a lay-off, employees within the affected level shall be laid-off in reverse order of their bargaining unit seniority. An employee to be laid-off will be allowed to bump any employee with less seniority who is in an equal or lower level, provided that the senior employee is qualified to fill the position of the displaced employee.
LAY-OFFS The Parties recognize the substantial effort and cost involved in recruiting workers from out of Province to the Project but it is also accepted that workers within the local unions from Alberta expect consideration in terms of job retention on Alberta projects. Therefore a lay-off protocol designed to balance these two interests will be developed as per Appendix 2.
RECALL FROM LAY-OFF Persons on layoff will be eligible to apply for positions. Provisions under “Selection for Vacancy” would apply; should there be no applicants for the posted position, the following process for recall would be used. Seniority shall be the determining factor in cases of recall from lay-off so that the last person to be laid off will be the first person recalled, provided that the employee affected has the necessary skill, ability, and has the qualifications to do the work available.
