Pre-Layoff Canvass (a) Where the Employer identifies to the Union a need to proceed with a layoff of Employees pursuant to Article 12.1, the Employer shall, prior to issuing a layoff notice to any Employee under Article 12, canvass any Employee or group of Employees within the area identified for reduction in order to invite on a voluntary basis:
Layoff A layoff of an employee shall be deemed to occur when an employee is removed from the work schedule for one (1) week or more due to lack of work.
Layoff Recall Section 1. Bargaining unit employees shall be laid off and recalled on the basis of available work within each job classification. Layoffs shall be in reverse order of seniority and recalls shall be in order of seniority; provided however, that in order to avoid layoff and in order to be subject to recall, the most senior employee within the affected classification must be qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all available work. Any gross abuse of the University's discretion to judge qualifications shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Any employee who would otherwise be laid off may bump (i.e., replace) the least senior employee in another bargaining unit job classification if they previously held such job with the University and remain qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all work available in the job into which they are bumping. An employee who elects not to bump shall not lose their right to recall to the employee’s regular job, but shall lose their bumping rights for the duration of the layoff. When it becomes necessary to lay off an employee, such employee shall, if possible, be notified at least ten (10) work days before the layoff occurs; provided, however, such notice shall not be required with respect to temporary layoffs or lack of work occasioned by breakdown of machinery, floods, fires, utility failures, Acts of God, or other causes beyond the University's control. When an employee is to be recalled from layoff, the University shall notify the employee by telephone (confirmed by certified or hand delivered letter, copy to Chief Xxxxxxx) specifying the time to report back to work, which notice shall, if possible, not be less than five (5) work days prior to the reporting time. In order to be eligible for recall, any employee who is laid off must keep the University currently advised in writing of their current whereabouts, address and telephone number, and any temporary changes thereof. The employee shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of recall, notify the University if for any reason the employee cannot report for work at the specified time. In the event an employee is unable to return to work due to illness or injury certified by a physician, the employee shall not lose their right to subsequent recall but the University may pass them over in order to fill an available position.
Laid Off Employees A) Should vacancies occur following layoff, those employees on layoff will be recalled to these positions in order of seniority providing they have the capabilities and the qualifications to perform the duties of the vacant position. If no employee on layoff possesses the required capabilities and qualifications, the vacant position will be posted pursuant to Article 15.01.
SENIORITY, LAYOFF, RECALL Employees will be laid off or reduced to part-time when necessary in reverse order of seniority providing the senior employee possesses the required qualifications and demonstrated ability to perform the necessary job functions after a thirty (30) day familiarization period. Employees will be recalled to work in order of seniority providing the senior employee possesses the required qualifications and demonstrated ability to perform the necessary job functions within a thirty (30) day familiarization period.
