Layoff and Bumping. 1) Whenever it becomes necessary due to lack of funds, lack of work or abolishment of positions to reduce the work force within a position classification within a department, all emergency, provisional, temporary, part-time, seasonal and probationary employees within the effected department shall be laid off first before any reduction is made in the permanent work forces. Permanent employees shall be laid off in order of their classification seniority within the affected classification. The employee having the least classification seniority within the affected classification within the department will be laid off first then continuing in like manner until the required reduction in work force has been accomplished. In the event an employee is laid off, he/she may receive payment for earned but unused vacation with his/her final check.

If mailed, such notice shall be given seventeen (17) calendar days before layoff and the day of posting shall be the first day of the seventeen (17) day period.
3) In the event a layoff occurs, the affected employee(s) may bump employees in an equal or lower paying classification within the bargaining unit who have less overall seniority provided that the bumping employee has previously held the position of the employee he displaces. The employee intending to bump will provide notice to the City within five (5) days of receipt of the layoff notice. The employee who is bumped may then exercise his bumping rights, if any.
4) Employees may bump into positions in an equal or lower paying classification which they have not previously held, provided they have demonstrated the minimum qualification for the position. The employee is subject to the successful completion of one hundred fifty (150) calendar days probationary period in the new position.
