Common use of LAYOFF AND RECALL FROM LAYOFF Clause in Contracts

LAYOFF AND RECALL FROM LAYOFF. (a) In the event that it becomes necessary to reduce staff, seniority shall govern. The Company shall first lay off all temporary employees and then all probationary employees, in order of first day hired. If further reduction of staff is required, it shall be made impartially and in strict reverse order of seniority, provided the senior employee is able to perform the work available, in accordance with the provisions of clause 8.07 of this Agreement. Any employee transferred to another job under these seniority provisions in order to avoid layoff shall immediately be paid at the rate of the job to which such an employee is transferred. When the working force is increased following a layoff, the employees will be recalled, in order of seniority, in the case of regular employees, or in the order of first day hired, in the case of probationary and temporary employees, to their former jobs, or to jobs which they are able and willing to perform. (b) The Local President, Vice President and Chief Shop Xxxxxxx shall be exempt from temporary layoffs as long as there is work in their respective departments, provided they can satisfactorily fulfill the normal requirements of the job. Should one or more of these Union Officers be absent for any reason at any time during the layoff, the most senior xxxxxxx otherwise on layoff will be recalled to work for such period of absence, for the purpose of maintaining union representation. (c) The minimum call-in period will be four (4) hours. For the purposes of page 46, appendix B 4(iv), the minimum call-in will constitute a normal working day. (d) All employees subject to call from the call list must be available for call-in as required, unless prior notification has been provided. In the event that an employee refuses (except for reasonable cause as per Letter of Understanding 4) or is unobtainable for three calls in any 12 month period during the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m. will be subject to discipline up to and including dismissal. Two calls, 10 minutes apart, will be made for each call-in. (a) The Company shall maintain a list of employees laid off by it for the bargaining unit, and such lists shall show the seniority of such employees, or the first day hired in the case of temporary and probationary employees. When workers are required for the bargaining unit, the layoff list will be examined and, to the extent of the number of jobs available, the employees will be recalled from transfer or layoff in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article 8. Such lists shall be revised regularly, with copies of each such list posted on the plant bulletin boards and delivered to the union. (b) If, following such recalls, there is still a deficiency of workers in the bargaining unit, probationary employees and then temporary employees on the lay-off list, in order of the first day hired, shall be offered such vacancies provided the employee can satisfactorily fulfill the normal requirements of the job. Probationary and temporary employees shall retain preferential rights for recall after lay-off for a period of twelve (12) months from the date following the date of their last lay-off provided their previous employment was satisfactory. (c) If, at the time of recall, a regular employee is not in the active employment of the Company, a written notice shall be sent to him, addressed to the last address which he shall have recorded with the Company. Such written notice shall indicate the job for which the individual is considered qualified, the proposed time and place of rehiring (which shall not be less than seven (7) working days from the date of mailing such notice by the Company) and shall state that if the individual desires to be rehired for such job, he shall so notify the Company in writing, within five (5) working days of receipt of such written notice from the Company. A copy of each such written notice shall be delivered to the Union. (d) The individuals to whom such notices are sent and who report ready for work at the time and place of rehiring as set out in such notices, or at such other time as may be mutually agreed upon between the Company and such employees, shall, if they are then so qualified to fill the jobs available, be rehired. The Company shall not be required, however, to rehire at any time, any individual who failed to notify the Company of his desire to be rehired, or who failed to report for rehiring in accordance with and at the time stated in any such notice sent to him. The company shall be entitled to fill any jobs available on a temporary basis, pending rehiring of those having preferential rights for rehiring. If the employee is not available when required, the Company may then recall the next employee on the recall list, but he is subject to being replaced if the employee first recalled does report within seven (7) working days. On such rehiring, there shall be deemed to have been no break in such employee's service if the employee had acquired seniority rights prior to his last layoff.
