Layoff Recall A. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, if conditions warrant a layoff of personnel, the following procedure will be used: 1.

It is understood that the Association shall have the right to review the layoff list prior to notification of the individual to be laid off. 2.

If the Board acts to lay off an employee, every effort will be made to notify the employee of that Board action within two (2) working days of the action. B. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, a laid off employee shall be recalled to the first vacancy for which he/she is certified and qualified and in reverse order of layoff. Changes in certification and qualifications after the effective date of an employee's layoff are only taken into consideration in recall to vacant positions. A laid-off employee will be recalled to a vacant position for which he/she is certified and qualified before consideration for transfer to an open position will be given to any currently employed, qualified applicant. It is the laid off employee’s responsibility to have on file with the District a current certificate (including any additions or revisions to the certificate) as well as a current statement of any qualifications upon which recall decisions may be based.

E. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, during a period of impending layoffs in this District, the Board may grant requests for voluntary leaves of absence if the Board deems it economically sound to approve such requests and a satisfactory replacement can be employed. F. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, notification of recall shall be in writing with a copy to the Association President. The notification shall be sent by certified mail to the employee’s last known address. It shall be the responsibility of each employee to notify the Board of any change in address.

It is understood and agreed that no provisions of Civil Service Law or rules shall apply to layoffs. Section 19.2 Classifications The Employer shall determine in which classification(s) layoffs will occur. Within each classification affected, employees will be laid off in accordance with their classification seniority for the classifications affected by the layoff. The employee(s) with the least classification seniority as defined in Article 20 will be laid off first. Bumping or displacement will also occur in accordance with the employee’s seniority with the least senior employee, as defined by Article 20, laid off first. Section 19.3 Recall List Employees who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list for a period of eighteen (18) months. If there is a recall, employees who are still on the recall list shall be recalled, in the inverse order of their layoff. Notice of recall shall be sent to the employees by certified or registered mail. The Employer shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation by mailing the recall notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the last mailing address provided by the employee. Employees shall be responsible for keeping the Office notified, in writing, of any changes in his address. The recalled employee shall have seven (7) calendar days following the receipt of the recall notice to notify the Employer of his intention to return to work and shall have fourteen (14) calendar days following the receipt of the recall notice in which to report for duty, unless a different date for returning to work is otherwise specified in the notice. If the employee does not respond within seven (7) calendar days the employee shall be removed from the recall list. If, upon recall, an employee must receive additional training, the Employer shall provide and pay for the training required to maintain his certification. The employee shall be required to complete the training in a timely fashion established by the Employer. If the employee fails to complete the training, the employee may be removed without recourse to the grievance procedure or the State Personnel Board of Review. Section 19.4 Bumping Bumping rights will be extended to the employee under this Agreement. Employees may bump or displace employees in other classifications so long as the employee previously worked in the classification or assignment and displaces an employee with less seniority. Employees from other bargaining units not covered by this Agreement, and other employees of the Sheriff’s Office who previously worked in a classification covered by this Agreement, may displace into positions covered by this Agreement so long as the employee displaced has less classification seniority. The employee displaced will be the one with the least seniority. Employees seeking to displace less senior employees will displace to the most recently held classification, and the next most recent, etc. until the employee is able to displace a less senior employee. If no employee in a previously-held classification has less seniority, then the employee seeking to displace shall be laid off. Employees displaced shall be placed on the recall list. An employee who is displaced may take a voluntary layoff, when layoffs occur rather than displace to a lower classification.
