Layoff Order and Notice. In the event of layoffs, such layoffs shall be in reverse order of bargaining unit seniority, provided the employee(s) involved have the skills, knowledge, abilities and qualifications for the remaining work. An employee who is given notice of layoff in their classification will be given the opportunity of displacing an employee with less seniority in a similar or lower classification providing they are bumping an employee with less seniority and they possess the required skill, knowledge, ability and qualifications to perform the job. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, full-time and part-time employees shall be given ten (10) work days notice of lay-off or pay in lieu of notice, except when the lay-off is three (3) working days or less in duration or in emergent circumstances. In this event the employee will be given an option to use Vacation Leave and/or lieu-time for the three (3) days or less. Should the Employment Standards Act of Ontario require a greater period of notice such notice and/or pay in lieu as stipulated shall be given.
