Common use of Layoffs and Reemployment Clause in Contracts

Layoffs and Reemployment. REASON FOR LAYOFF: Layoff shall occur for lack of work or lack of funds. NOTICE OF LAYOFF: When a layoff of classified employees is anticipated by the administration and at least fourteen (14) calendar days before any action by the Board of Trustees on layoff of classified employees, the District shall notify CSEA, in writing, of the proposed action. At that time, the District shall give CSEA such non-confidential written materials and information as are available. The District will provide CSEA with an updated seniority roster for the classified service no less than fifteen (15) calendar days before the date notices would be sent to employees. A list of positions recommended for elimination and any additional non-confidential documents and information supporting the need for layoff will be furnished to CSEA at the time such information is given to the Board of Trustees, unless such information has been previously furnished. Upon written request, the District shall meet with CSEA to discuss the proposed layoff. CSEA or an employee may challenge his/her place on the seniority roster by making objections to the Superintendent, or his/her designee, who shall review the objections and conduct an audit, if requested, and make the results of such audit known to CSEA and the employee(s) prior to the effective date of any layoff(s) involving such employee(s). When, as a result of the expiration of a specially funded program, classified positions must be eliminated at the end of any school year, and the employees will be subject to layoff, the employees to be laid off at the end of such school year shall be given written notice on or before April 29 informing them of their layoff effective at the end of such school year and of their displacement rights, if any, and reemployment rights. However, if the termination date of any specially funded programs is other than June 30, such notice shall be given not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of their layoff. If, because of a lack of work or lack of funds, employees would be subject to layoff, affected employees shall be given notice of layoff not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of layoff.
