(b) The employer shall meet with the union executive prior to a lay-off to review the seniority list and to discuss the order of lay-off. In addition, the parties will look to identify and implement all reasonable alternatives to the proposed lay-off Note: Where a proposed lay-off results in the subsequent displacement of any member(s) of the bargaining unit, the original notice to the union provided in (a) above shall be considered notice to the union of any subsequent lay-off.

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.

LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. 15.01 Both parties accept job security should increase with seniority. Therefore, in the event of a lay-off, including a reduction of hours in excess of 25% of the employee’s regularly scheduled hours, employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their seniority, within their classification. The junior person in the affected classification may then displace an employee in any other classification for which the employee has the qualifications, skills and abilities, provided she is senior to the least senior employee is that classification. This process would continue if the least senior employee in the second, or subsequent, classifications, had another classification, and the foregoing applied. Employees shall be recalled in the order of their seniority, providing they have the skill and ability to do the work. As part of this recall, individuals who move between classifications would have the first opportunity to return to their original classification.
15.02 No new employee will be hired until those laid off have been given the opportunity of re- employment providing they have the skill and ability to do the work.
LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. (a) Although the Board does not desire to reduce the work force or hours of work, it is recognized that circumstances may require such action. In making such reductions, the Board and the Union will consult to ensure that such actions are orderly and taken so that seniority is applied. Prior to any lay-offs or reduction in hours of work of regular employees, the Board will consult with the Union through the Union Executive (Cowichan Unit). Consultation may include examination of options other than layoff or reduction in hours of work, upon which the Board and the Union may reach agreement.
LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. 11.01 The Board agrees that, in the event of a lay-off, employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their occupational seniority, but may accumulate up to six (6) months seniority while on lay-off. Where it is necessary to recall former employees, they shall be recalled in the reverse order to which they were laid off, with the exception of employees with special skills or aptitudes, so long as such special skills or aptitudes relate to the job classification affected. An employee's occupational seniority shall be the employee's total seniority with the Board and shall be so credited after the seventy (70) working day trial period in the case of a position transfer or bid, or after the probationary period in the case of a newly-hired employee being placed on the job. During the seventy (70) working day period, the employee's occupational seniority will remain in the former job classification.
LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. 13.01 Lay-offs and recalls will be based on the skills, abilities and qualifications of the employees in relation to the available work, and as among several employees in whom such qualifications are relatively equal, seniority will be the governing factor. Unless legislation is more favourable to the employees, the Board shall notify employees who are to be laid off ten (10) working days prior to the effective date of lay-off.
13.02 Employees shall be recalled in the order of their seniority subject to the provisions of 13.01.
13.03 No new employees shall be hired until all employees with seniority have been given an opportunity of recall.
13.04 A permanent employee who is subject to lay-off may bump a less senior employee for which they possess the minimum requirements and ability to perform the job. Employees so bumped shall follow the same bumping procedure. The fifth (5th) person to be laid off shall bump the least senior employee of the same classification (there shall be a maximum of five (5) bumps per classification). The fifth (5th) person laid off per classification shall bump the least senior employee of that classification. Employees must initiate the bumping procedure no later than three (3) working days after the employees have received written notification. The three (3) day time limit may be extended where reasonable extenuating circumstances exist.
LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. 10.01 The Board agrees that in the event of a lay-off, employees shall be laid off according to seniority and classification [with the most junior employee(s) in the affected classification(s) to be laid off first], provided the remaining employees have the ability to do the job and meet the qualifications for the job.
10.02 Seniority shall accumulate for the first six (6) months of lay-off.
10.03 Where it is necessary to recall employees, they shall be recalled in the reverse order to which they were laid off [with the most senior employee(s) to be recalled first], provided they have the ability to do the job and meet the qualifications for the job.
10.04 A surplus educational assistant shall be given preference according to seniority to fill a vacancy provided he/she has the ability to do the job and meet the qualifications for the job.
LAY-OFFS AND RECALLS. 11.01 Where the Employer deems it necessary to reduce staff or reduce hours of work of staff for any reason, lay-off will be in reverse order of seniority, within the affected position and classification provided that the employees who are entitled to remain on the basis of seniority are able to perform the available work. Casual and interim employees shall not receive notice of lay-off and do not have recall rights. Upon notification of lay-off to a permanent employee (full-time or part-time), casual and interim employees will be notified by the Employer that they will not be offered further work effective the earliest date of lay-off of a permanent employee and for the duration of any such lay-off, unless there are no permanent employees available for existing work.
11.02 The Employer shall give each Employee in the bargaining unit who has acquired seniority and who is to be laid off for a period of more than thirteen (13) weeks, notice in writing of her lay-off in accordance with the following schedule: - Up to one year’s service – 1 week’s notice - 1 year but less than 3 years’ service – 2 week’s notice - 3 years but less than 4 years’ service – 3 week’s notice - 4 years but less than 5 years’ service – 4 week’s notice - 5 years but less than 6 years’ service – 5 week’s notice - 6 years but less than 7 years’ service – 6 week’s notice - 7 years but less than 8 years’ service – 7 week’s notice - 8 years’ service or more – 8 week’s notice Such notice will be handed to the Employee and a signed acknowledgement requested if the Employee is at work at the time the notice is ready for delivery. In the alternative, it shall be mailed by registered mail. An Employee on lay-off and recalled to a temporary position shall not be entitled to further notice of lay-off. In the event of a proposed lay-off of more than thirteen (13) weeks' duration, the Employer will:
(a) Provide the Union with two months notice of such lay-off where practicable, and in any event not less than 30 calendar days notice of lay-off.
(b) Meet with the Union through the Union/Management Committee to review the following:
i) the reason causing the lay-off;
ii) the method of implementation including the areas of cut-back and employees to be laid off.
11.03 In all other cases of lay-off, the Employer shall give each Employee in the bargaining unit who has acquired seniority one (1) week's notice provided however, such notice shall not be required if the lay-off occurs because of emergencies (f...
