Common use of Permanent Layoff Clause in Contracts

Permanent Layoff. The calculation in determining the six (6) month duration of eligibility for an employer contribution begins on the date the teacher is permanently laid off or accepts an appointment in lieu of layoff without a break in service with a lesser employer-paid insurance contribution than the teacher was receiving in the appointment from which the layoff occurred and is no longer actively employed in the appointment from which the layoff occurred. In the event the teacher, while on permanent layoff, is rehired to any state job classification with a lesser employer-paid insurance contribution than the teacher is receiving under the six (6) months of insurance continuation, the teacher shall continue to receive the employer contribution toward the employer-paid insurance for the duration of the six (6) months. However, notwithstanding the paragraph above, in the event the teacher successfully claims another state job in any agency and classification which is insurance eligible without a break in service, and is subsequently non-certified or involuntarily separated, the six (6) month duration for the employer contribution toward insurance benefits will begin at the time the teacher is non-certified or otherwise involuntarily separated and is no longer actively employed by the Employer. In no event shall an extended benefit eligibility period be longer than a total of six (6) months. Further, a teacher must be receiving an Employer Contribution under Section 3 (A) or (B) at the time of layoff in order to be eligible for the six (6) months continuation of insurance.
