Common use of Order of Reduction/Bumping Clause in Contracts

Order of Reduction/Bumping. In the event of a necessary reduction in a job category, the Employer shall first lay off probationary employees within that category provided there are seniored employees remaining within the category who are available and can perform the required work. Next, the least seniored employee within the job category affected by the reduction shall be laid off. In no case shall a new employee be hired in a job category while there are laid off employees in that category who are qualified and available for the vacant or newly created position. An employee whose position has been eliminated due to reduction of work force or who has been affected by a layoff/elimination of position may bump the least senior employee in another category provided all of the following conditions are satisfied: 1. There is no "bump" possible within the current assignment job category of the employee affected by the reduction in force, 2. The "bumping" employee is qualified and able to perform all duties of the least senior employee in the different category whom the "bumping" employee is displacing, and 3. The "bumping" employee possesses sufficient seniority in the different job category into which placement is desired. The bump is exercised upon the least senior employee in the different job category. When an employee affected by reduction in force is not able to exercise a bump within his/her current job category or into a different job category for which he/she possesses sufficient seniority (as described above), he/she shall be placed on layoff status with recall rights as described in this Article.
