Order of Separation. The order of separation of employees with permanent status shall be on a geographic basis by class and department in the following manner. For purposes of determining this order of separation, “geographic basis” shall be construed to mean that area within a thirty-five (35) road mile radius of the position’s regular duty station.
Order of Separation. The principal criterion used in determining the order of separation and bumping rights shall be seniority, time worked within a class within the City, provided the employee presently possesses the skills, ability and qualifications to perform the job. Furthermore, seniority shall govern unless the following criteria show that ability, merit, and records of the employees considered for lay-off are not equal:
Order of Separation. Employees within a classification shall be laid off in inverse order of their seniority within such class. Seniority within class for the purpose of layoffs is defined as the length of the employee’s fulltime cumulative service time within the rank or class targeted for layoff within the unit, plus any time in a higher rank or class. Ties in seniority within the class shall be broken based upon the order in which employees were selected for fulltime employment or promotion by the department head.
Order of Separation. Preference for retention shall be based equally upon performance as determined and supported in writing by each supervisory level involved, and upon seniority of service.
Order of Separation. Employees in the same classification and department shall be separated considering type of appointment and total continuous seniority with the least senior employee in any category of appointment being the first separated and with tied seniority scores broken as provided herein. The sequence of separation by appointment types shall be:
Order of Separation. Management shall first designate the division(s) and classification(s) where the reduction in force will occur. Layoff will occur in the following order:
Order of Separation. A. Separation (lay-off) of employees shall be in the order in which their names appear on the seniority list for the affected class, with those persons having the least seniority credit being the first separated, except as provided in 5.01(IV)(C).
Order of Separation. The principal criterion used in determining the order of separation and bumping rights shall be seniority based on the total years of continuous full-time service and any prior part-time service as calculated on a pro-rata basis with the City provided the employee presently possesses the skill, ability and qualifications to perform the job. Layoffs shall be in the reverse order as hired. That is, the employee in the affected job class with the least total City service shall be laid off first. Whenever seniority is equal, the following criteria shall be applied in the indicated order:
Order of Separation. In each classification in which there is to be a layoff, employees shall be separated from employment according to the employee's seniority within service. In case of the same hiring date, seniority shall be based upon hiring order.
Order of Separation. Selection for retention shall be based primarily upon seniority of service with performance being taken into account. While seniority is the primary factor in determining order of separation, it is not in and of itself the only determining factor. Therefore, this policy does not preclude the retention of members, which have less seniority to other members within the class for which the reduction in force action may be taken. The following criteria shall be considered in evaluating performance:
