Employees who have completed three full years of service in (a) the same grant-funded position; or (b) different associated-represented positions under the same grant funding source, are eligible to participate in the bumping process outlined herein. Employees who have not completed three full years of service as outlined above do not have bumping rights, regardless of the length of other university funded employment. The Employer shall consider all requests to bump in order of seniority service of the applicant. The Employer shall determine whether the applicant is qualified to bump the least senior employee in the positions applied for. If the Employer determines that the applicant is not qualified to bump in that position, the Xxxx Employer shall determine whether the applicant is qualified to bump the next least senior employee in the positions applied for. This process shall continue until the applicant is deemed qualified for a bump or all five (5) positions have been considered. If the displaced employee is determined to hold the qualifications for the position reviewed, the employee shall be permitted to exercise his/her seniority rights to displace an employee with less seniority in the generic job classification for which the employee currently holds seniority or for which the employee holds seniority service credit accumulation, in the job classification from which a position was held immediately prior to the current job classification from which the employee is being laid off. Displacement is potentially available only for and within the following two (2) groupings:
a. Assistant Director, Administrative Assistant I, Assistant to Xxxx, Assistant to Director, Assistant to Chair, Assistant to Sponsored Chair, Program or Function Coordinator or Manager.
b. Professional Service Librarian (excluding Head Librarian) professional specialists within the specific specialty area.

Consideration of performance as negatively affecting qualifications herein, shall be restricted to a formal performance record that is officially, and in writing, less than satisfactory overall or a performance record evidencing active disciplinary status. Within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of notification that a bumping applicant is not qualified for a position sought, the Association may submit a layoff plan written request for review to the local UnionPosition Review Committee.

A successful bumping by an employee without Just Cause Status shall result in a probationary contract of employment to expire at the end of the fiscal year in which the bumping occurs. A successor contract of employment prior to the end of a probationary period in no way modifies that probationary period. If the employee would be eligible for Just Cause Status upon commencement of a new fiscal year contract, however, but for the need to complete the six (6) month probationary period, they will attain such Status upon completion of the probationary period, in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.A.7, notwithstanding the fact there may be an annual contract in effect on the date that the probationary period is completed. Any bumping which results in displacement of an employee in a higher salary classification shall result in the successful bumping applicant receiving the step on the new range closest to his/her salary step on the previous range. In addition, a Professional Staff Member who is laid off shall have a right to apply for and be considered for placement in vacant bargaining unit positions for which they are qualified, if they request such consideration within a reasonable time following their layoff.
