Layoff Grievance Sample Clauses
The Layoff Grievance clause establishes a formal process for employees or their representatives to challenge or appeal layoffs they believe are unjust or not in accordance with the collective agreement or company policy. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for filing a grievance, the timelines involved, and the procedures for review or arbitration. For example, if an employee is laid off and believes the selection criteria were not properly applied, they can use this process to seek redress. The core function of this clause is to provide a fair and structured mechanism for resolving disputes related to layoffs, thereby protecting employee rights and ensuring transparency in workforce reductions.
Layoff Grievance. An employee claiming improper application of Article 15.4.3, shall state in the grievance the position(s) and name of incumbent, if any, to which the employee claims entitlement. The College will provide the current PDFs of the positions, named in the grievance, to the employee within three (3) days after the filing of the grievance. If the grievance is not resolved, then the written referral to mediation/arbitration shall specify, from the position(s) originally designated, no more than four (4) positions which shall thereafter be the subject matter of the grievance and the arbitration.
