Lay Off, Job Security and Recall Policy Sample Clauses

Lay Off, Job Security and Recall Policy. Lay Off Job Security Recall 1. All temporary employees (except as detailed in the Maintenance Seniority Regulations) are to be regarded as new employees if laid off and subsequently re-employed. 2. Regular employees who have been employed on a continuous basis by the Commission for six months or more (as of the date of lay off), and who are laid off will have their name placed on the recall list. Their name shall remain on the recall list for a period of 12 months from the last date of lay off subject to #5 below. When a vacancy occurs normal bidding procedures shall be followed. Any resultant vacancy will be offered to individuals on the recall list of the seniority group affected before any new employee is hired. The last individual laid off shall be the first individual recalled, provided he or she is fully qualified, willing and able to perform the work available. 3. The employment relationship is severed as of the date of lay off; the recall list therefore represents an opportunity for an individual to regain employment status as at the date of lay off. That opportu- nity is lost once the individual’s name is deleted from the recall list for any of the reasons outlined in #5 below. 4. When an individual is to be recalled, a registered letter shall be forwarded to the last known address, with a copy sent to the Secretary Treasurer of Local 113. It is the employee’s responsibil- ity to inform the Commission (by means of a registered letter) of any and all changes in the current postal address. 5. An individual’s name shall be removed from the recall list if he or she: a. fails to acknowledge the recall letter within seven consecutive calendar days of the registration date of the recall letter, or b. declines the offer of work, or c. fails to resume work within 21 consecutive calendar days of the registration date of the recall letter, or d. is not recalled within 12 months of the date of lay off, or e. withdraws all or any part of his or her contributions to the Pension Fund Society, or f. does not remain a member in good standing of Local 113. Regular employees who are recalled and who resume work within 12 calendar months of lay off retain the same Commission and Bar- gaining Unit seniority held at the time of lay off for use in determining such things as vacation entitlement, job bidding, work and vacation selection. Accumulation of additional seniority will commence on the day the employee resumes work.
