PERSONNEL REDUCTION Section 1. In the case of a personnel reduction, probationary employees in the classification to be reduced shall be laid off first. Thereafter, the employee in the classification to be reduced with the least seniority shall be laid off first. Battalion Chiefs with the least seniority in the rank of Battalion Chief shall be reduced to the highest rank they previously held and are currently qualified for or may become qualified for within three (3) months or such extension of time as may be agreed to by the Fire Rescue Administrator and the Union President. For purposes of this Article, employees who have a needs improvement or unacceptable performance evaluation during the most recent annual evaluation may have their seniority reduced by one year. For purposes of this Article, assigned Paramedics shall be considered a classification only in order to prevent the number of Paramedics from being reduced below State requirements. Section 2. Employees who are laid off from their classifications may bump into the next lower classification in which case they may bump the most junior employee in the classification if that junior employee has less seniority. Section 3. Employees who are laid off, or who have bumped into the next lower classification, shall be recalled to their original classification in the reverse order in which they were laid off or bumped (last laid off or bumped, first recalled) provided they meet the requirements to perform the work. Employees on layoff or who have been bumped, shall be offered recall before employees are hired into their classification, or shall be offered a new position in another lateral or lower classification for which they are qualified before new employees are hired into the other classification. Section 4. Employees who are laid off shall be paid one hundred (100%) percent of accrued vacation leave. Section 5. In the case of a personnel reduction in the rank of District Chief, those District Chief(s) identified by the Fire Rescue Administrator who were promoted to that rank before July 14, 2000, and District Chiefs appointed to the rank as a result of municipal mergers, shall be reduced to the rank of Battalion Chief. Such reduction shall not adversely affect the wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment of any other bargaining unit employee. Section 6. Employees promoted to the rank of District Chief after July 13, 2000, who are affected by a personnel reduction in the rank of District Chief, shall be reduced to the classification previously held, or another position for which they have successfully tested, in accordance with the provisions of this Article. No personnel in the classification to which the employee is returned shall be removed, and any over-staffing shall be addressed through attrition. District Chiefs may sit for promotional examinations for positions of lower rank within the bargaining unit and will be considered to have obtained that status upon successful promotion of any employee with a lesser standing on that promotion register. Section 7. The protection afforded to other bargaining unit employees in sections 5 and 6 above, shall not apply in the event of a workforce reduction that affects all ranks.
