In all cases of layoff. (a) The Employer will identify where the layoff exists based on its operational requirements. Following that decision, the layoff will be based on reverse order of seniority, and in all circumstances an employee displacing another employee must be qualified to perform the work. Subject to the foregoing, the equivalent and appropriate number of probationary, temporary and casual employees shall be first laid off. Such employees will be provided layoff options subject to the Employment Standards Act. Temporary or casual, and then probationary nurses shall be laid off first and then further layoffs will be on the basis of seniority. Such employees will be provided layoff options subject to the Employment Standards Act. (b) An employee initially selected for layoff shall have the following layoff entitlement options: i) Accepting the layoff, or; ii) Opt to retire if eligible, under the terms of the Employer’s pension plan, or; iii) Elect to transfer to a vacant position, which shall mean a position for which the posting process has been completed and there was no successful applicant, or; iv) displace another employee who has lesser bargaining unit seniority and who is the least senior employee within that geographical location. If the nurse is unable to displace within their geographical location and/or such displacement would require a change in a nurse’s status (ie: full time to part time), such nurse may displace the least senior nurse, either full-time or part-time in any geographical location. Such process continues until the displacing is completed. The Association and the Employer may agree to a different procedure than described above. The decision by the employee shall be made within five (5) calendar days after being provided notice of layoff.
