Layoffs and Separations for Lack of Appropriation. Section 1. Layoff/Separations The Employer agrees that prior to deciding a layoff, or a separation for lack of appropriations, the Employer will consider all of its reasonable alternatives. The Employer also agrees that, when possible, employees will be provided with 60 days’ notice of a layoff or a separation for lack of appropriations. Prior to notifying specific employees that they will be subject to a layoff or a separation for lack of appropriations, the Employer will meet with the Union to discuss the relative merits of using a layoff versus separation for lack of appropriation, and in an effort to develop appropriate arrangements for affected employees. All layoffs shall be in strict conformance with applicable law and regulation including State Personnel and Pension Article §11-206 regarding seniority points. All separations for lack of appropriations shall be in strict conformance with applicable law and regulation, including State Personnel and Pensions Article Title 11, subtitle 3.
