Permanent Layoff The calculation in determining the six (6) month duration of eligibility for an Employer contribution begins on the date the employee 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 employee was receiving in the appointment from which the layoff occurred and is no longer actively employed in the appointment from which the layoff occurred.
Permanent Status An employee will attain permanent status in a job classification upon their successful completion of a probationary, trial service or transition review period.
Permanent Vacancies All vacancies or newly-created positions within the bargaining unit shall be posted within seven (7) working days of the date the vacancy occurs in a conspicuous place on bulletin boards in each building. The job posting will set forth the requirements for the position. Employees within the job division in which the vacancy exists may apply for it. The senior employee within the job division in which the vacancy exists applying for the position who meets all of the requirements shall be granted the position. In the event the senior applicant is denied the promotion, the reason for denial shall be given in writing to the employee. If the vacancy is not filled from within the division, then the vacancy shall be reposted for a period of seven (7) working days. Full time and full time school year employees from other divisions interested in the job posting may file a written application with the Employer by the deadline established in the posting. The senior full time or full time school year employee applying for the position who meets all the requirements according to the job description and shall be granted the position. In the event the senior applicant is denied the promotion, the reason for denial shall be given in writing to the employee. If the vacancy is not filled by a full time or full time school year employee, then the vacancy shall be reposted for a period of seven (7) working days. The Employer shall given due consideration to all applicants for the permanent vacancy. In considering an applicant’s qualifications to perform the required work, the Employer shall consider the employee’s ability, experience, training, work record, skills and dependability. The applicant considered by the Employer to be the best qualified shall be awarded the permanent vacancy; provided, however, that if the Employer determines that the qualifications of the applicants are relatively equal, the applicant with the greatest seniority shall be awarded the position. The Employer reserves the right to determine that none of the applicants are qualified and leave the position open or to seek further applicants.
Shift Change Where employees are assigned mid-week to work a non-day shift (whether due to emergencies or a shift change) and as a result lose a shift in the regular work week, such employees will be paid six (6) hours for such loss of earnings.

Layoff Recall A. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, if conditions warrant a layoff of personnel, the following procedure will be used:
1. In the event an employee must be laid off, layoff will be on the basis of seniority, certification, and qualifications. It is understood that the Association shall have the right to review the layoff list prior to notification of the individual to be laid off.
2. An employee in a position being reduced or eliminated shall have the right to be transferred to the full- time position held by the employee with the least seniority for which the more senior employee is certified and qualified. No part-time positions shall be created to retain a senior employee.
3. If the Board acts to lay off an employee, every effort will be made to notify the employee of that Board action within two (2) working days of the action.
B. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, a laid off employee shall be recalled to the first vacancy for which he/she is certified and qualified and in reverse order of layoff. Changes in certification and qualifications after the effective date of an employee's layoff are only taken into consideration in recall to vacant positions. A laid-off employee will be recalled to a vacant position for which he/she is certified and qualified before consideration for transfer to an open position will be given to any currently employed, qualified applicant. It is the laid off employee’s responsibility to have on file with the District a current certificate (including any additions or revisions to the certificate) as well as a current statement of any qualifications upon which recall decisions may be based.

E. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, during a period of impending layoffs in this District, the Board may grant requests for voluntary leaves of absence if the Board deems it economically sound to approve such requests and a satisfactory replacement can be employed.
F. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, notification of recall shall be in writing with a copy to the Association President. The notification shall be sent by certified mail to the employee’s last known address. It shall be the responsibility of each employee to notify the Board of any change in address.
Contract Termination; Debarment A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
Permanent Part-Time Employees (1) Pay and benefits will be computed on a prorated monthly or pay period basis, such as one-half (½) monthly or pay period pay for a half-time employee, or pay will be computed on an hourly basis, and pay and benefits will be normally prorated on a pay period, pay status basis. Permanent part-time employees in permanent full-time positions will be treated as permanent part-time for purposes of this Article.
