Layoff and Reemployment. The employer shall have the right to layoff by classification. In the event of a layoff, employees shall be laid off by classification in inverse order of bargaining unit seniority. An employee initially selected for layoff shall be permitted to displace the least senior employee in the bargaining unit in an equal or lower paying classification (does not apply to D. A. Investigators). Employees displaced pursuant to this procedure shall be allowed the same displacement right, if they have sufficient bargaining unit seniority. The Employer shall maintain a reemployment list of all employees who lose their jobs due to a reduction in force. Such lists shall be in the order of the employee's seniority at the time of the reduction in force with the most senior being number one on the list. Such lists shall also show the classification(s) for which employees are qualified by their department. Employees on the reemployment list shall maintain reemployment rights and promotional appointment rights for two years from the date they lost their jobs. Employees shall be recalled from the reemployment list in accordance with their seniority to the jobs for which they are qualified. Notice of reemployment shall be sent by the Employer by certified mail to the employee's last known address and the employee shall be required to respond within seven (7) days from the date of notification. Employees who do not respond to such reemployment notices, shall be dropped from the reemployment list and all rights shall be lost.
