Layoff Decision. The layoff process is initiated when Management reaches a tentative decision to reduce staff or restructure the workforce. Such a tentative decision may impact only one department, or it may be district-wide. Employees identified for layoff must be in accordance with Article 22.31. Once such a tentative decision is reached, a discussion will begin between representative(s) of the Human Resources Department, other appropriate Management staff and Federation representatives (potentially including the affected employees) to explore alternatives to layoff. These discussions will begin at least 90 calendar days before the potential layoff date. The reasons why any rejected alternatives will not be implemented will be provided to the Federation in writing
