Common use of Layoff and Reduction Clause in Contracts

Layoff and Reduction. Layoff shall mean a reduction in the work force. Layoff shall be accomplished in the following manner: a. When it may for any reason be necessary to reduce the staff in any classification, the person having the lowest seniority in that classification shall be laid off first and in rehiring preference shall be given in order of seniority. All probationary employees in the classification affected shall be laid off first. b. This detail added August 2007 provides clarification in times of lay-off. Part- time positions have been added into full-time classifications. This language is applicable only during times of lay-off. Poor attendance may disqualify an employee from bumping rights. The Association and the District agree to the following two basic principles. Seniority has always been and will continue to be protected within classification. When lay-offs occur at the bottom of a classification (part-time), the “if qualified” language will be used when bumping other classifications, where applicable, followed by seniority. “If qualified” is a minimum 70% score on a test. These positions have district tests in place and will be used in the lay-off, bumping process: Head custodian; secretarial; maintenance; computer technician; library aide; and computer aide. Full-time employees may bump less senior full-time employees, within classification. Seniority is protected within classification. The only exception shall be that the least senior full-time person who is losing full-time status in a classification can bump into another classification full-time position if total full- time seniority in LESPA overall is greater, and if the employee is immediately qualified to perform all the duties of the position. The least senior full-time employee may bump a part-time employee in the same classification. If the full-time employee being reduced to a part-time position has previous seniority in a part-time position, this time of service shall be added together for purposes of bumping into other part-time positions. Part-time employees may only bump other part-time employees, first within classification, then outside classification if qualified. At all times, persons bumping into the bus mechanic positions must be properly State Certified at the time of bumping. Time to become trained or certified will not be granted and will not be paid by the district. In times of lay-off, “highly qualified” status is the only requisite to bumping in the “aides” classification. The only exception is that in the three areas requiring tests, those individuals of greater seniority than the current employee must pass the test (70 percent). c. A laid off employee shall, upon advance application to the Employer, be granted priority status on the substitute list according to his/her seniority. Laid off employees may continue any and all of their insurance benefits by paying the regular monthly subscriber group rate premium for such benefits to the Employer. This provision is subject to the approval of the insurance carriers involved. d. In the event that a layoff involves several employees, upon request of the Association, a special conference may be held. e. Employees shall be provided ten (10) working day's notice of layoff, except that as of ten (10) working days after the first day of school each year, the Employer shall provide aides with ten (10) working days notice of layoff. Aides that are not assigned within the first ten (10) working days of a new school year shall be considered to be on layoff.
