Lay-Offs & Recall. (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. Prior to any lay-offs or reduction in hours of work of regular employees exceeding thirty percent (30%) in any classification, the Board will consult with the Union through a Labour Management Liaison Meeting. Consultation may include discussion of options other than lay-offs or reduction in hours of work.
Lay-Offs & Recall. Section 1. Lay-offs shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Service Law, as amended, or successor law or act. In the event that, for any reason, the Civil Service Law, or successor law or act shall not apply, then lay-offs shall be made by seniority. For purposes of this paragraph seniority shall be determined by date of permanent appointment to the Department.
Lay-Offs & Recall. 19.01 In the event of a lay-off, Management agrees that Employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their employer service by department, provided Management, in its opinion, can retain a work force qualified to perform the work remaining.
Lay-Offs & Recall. A layoff is defined as a separation from employment for seven (7) calendar days or more for reasons not related to discipline. If in the Hospital’s judgment a Nursing layoff becomes necessary, the Hospital will determine the services and/or level of patient care to be provided and the staffing structure which will best meet these objectives. The Hospital shall be the judge of qualifications and ability. Affected Nurses and the Association will receive as much notice as is reasonably practicable, but not less than seven (7) calendar days notice, or pay in lieu thereof, prior to the effective date of the layoff. When an affected Nurse receives her lay off notice she shall be permitted to transfer to any open Nursing position within the facility for which she possesses the qualifications and abilities to perform the required work. Transfer assignments will be awarded according to seniority provided the Nurse possesses the qualifications and abilities to perform the required work. The Hospital shall lay off nurses in the following order: Temporary Nurses, followed by Probationary Nurses, followed by Full and Part time Nurses in the affected department(s). Travel Nurses will be permitted to fulfill the remainder of their contract period, provided however, the Hospital agrees not to contract additional Travel Nurses during the layoff period if a Nurse with the same qualifications and abilities is on layoff.
