Layoff/Bumping Options Sample Clauses

Layoff/Bumping Options. An employee who has received a layoff notice from the Employer must decide within seven (7) days as to which of the following options they have selected. The employee must advise the Employer of the option selected in writing: (a) Accept the reduced hours while maintaining recall rights to a position with an equivalent FTE. (b) The employee may bump another employee of lesser seniority in a position for which the employee is qualified and has the ability to perform the work.

Bumping rights must be exercised within seven (7) days from the date on which the Employer receives notification that the employee has exercised their right to bump that other employee.
