LAYOFFS AND RECALLS. Section 1Classification seniority shall apply to the selection of employees for layoffs and recall therefrom. When it becomes necessary to lay off employees within the size bargaining unit (except for layoffs caused by major disasters or Acts of God), both the work force is to be reduced for any reason as determined by Union and the Employer, all layoffs affected employees shall be by classification within notified at least five (5) days in advance or the department or departments affectedaffected employees will receive pay in lieu thereof. In the event of layoff, employees in the affected classification shall be laid off in the following order: First, all temporary and casual employees; Second, all employees still in the evaluation period by inverse order of hiring; (note this would include per diem probationary) Third, all per diem employees; Fourth, regular, full and part-time employees by inverse order of seniority. When the Employer determines the positions affected, it will notify the employee holding positions subject to layoff, and advise them of any vacant positions (taking precedence over posting policy). If vacancies exist within same position/classification, same shift, and same scheduled hours, within 24 hours those employees must elect to take a vacant position or accept layoff. If no vacancy exists, within 24 hours of that notice, those employees must elect to accept layoff or exercise bumping rights. Affected employee exercising bumping rights must bump most junior employee on his/her shift in his/her classification who has same regularly scheduled hours as the laid off employee, provided he/she is senior to the employee bumped. If there is no such layoffsjunior person, positions will be eliminatedthe laid off employee may bump (a) the most junior employee on his/her shift in his/her classification regardless of hours, if possibleor (b) bump the most junior employee in his/her classification on either of the other two shifts who has the same scheduled hours as the laid off employee, before hours are reducedprovided he/she is senior to the employee bumped. If the laid off employee cannot exercise bumping rights under the above, he/she must bump the most junior in his/her classification on the other two shifts regardless of scheduled hours, provided he/she is senior to the employee bumped. In the event of such multiple layoffs, temporary when more than one employee in the same classification and shift are laid off, choices of bumping will be exercised by seniority. The most senior of the laid off employees will choose first which of the junior employees among those subject to bumping he or substitute help within she will bump. Then the next most senior laid off employee will choose. Rights of employees bumped - The employee bumped by an employee designated for layoff will have the same bumping rights as the laid off employee. However, any employee, bumped by an employee who was bumped by a laid off employee, may only bump the most junior in his/her classification regardless of shift, provided he/she is senior to the employee bumped, or classifications affected accept layoff. Employees who have been laid off shall be laid off first, probationary employees within recalled (re-employed) in the classification or classifications affected shall be laid off next, and, if seniority employees, shall be laid off in reverse inverse order of their classification seniority (i.e. employees with the least seniority layoff. Employees will be notified of recall from layoff by certified mail and shall be laid off first). At the time a bus driver will have his/her hours reduced because of a loss of a run during the school year, the bus driver, a union representative and the supervisor will meet. A ten (10) calendar day written notice of layoff or reduction in hours will, when possible, be given. This will not apply for reasons of work stoppage or strikes by employees and/or employee groups, or to summer recess and other recess periods, including parent/teacher conference periods. When hours are reduced 30 minutes or more per employee, per day or in the event of such layoffs, a senior employee, having been laid off from his/her position may, not later than five (5) days from the date of district operation (when the Education Service Center's central office is open) after a lay-off notification is issued (i.e. personally delivered or certified mail), bump an employee with less seniority, first within his/her classification if possible; if not, then an employee in a classification within the same department, who receives the same or lower rate of pay and has less departmental seniority. If a seniority employee is bumped as herein provided, such employee shall be laid off and shall have the same bumping rightspostmark to respond.

Employees who have been laid off shall remain on the recall list for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of layoff. Employees on layoff shall not be permitted denied further consideration for recall (reemployment) by declining to bump any employee in accept reemployment to a position on a different department (unless that employee has previously earned seniority in that department and is able to perform shift or with different weekly hours than the work), any employee in a higher paying classification, any employee after the first (1st) working day following his/her layoff, any employee with equal or greater departmental seniority, or any employee whose job he/she is not able to perform.
