Personnel Reduction and Recall. 1. In the case of a personnel reduction, the Town, after due consideration of past job performance and the needs of the Town, shall determine who shall be laid off first. Time in the service of their department shall be given consideration. Employees who are laid off shall be paid a severance in the amount of one week of salary for every completed year of service with the Town.
Personnel Reduction and Recall. 1. In case of personnel reduction, probationary employees, including those deemed "temporary" by the Town, shall be laid off prior to any permanent employee.
Personnel Reduction and Recall. 1. In the case of a personnel reduction, the Fire Chief after due consideration of past performance and personnel record, shall determine who shall be laid off first. Time in the service of the Department shall be given consideration.
Personnel Reduction and Recall. 1. In the case of a personnel reduction, the Town shall consider employees’ qualifications and performance. When qualifications and performance are equal, Bargaining Unit seniority shall be the determining factor in the decision to layoff.
Personnel Reduction and Recall. A. In the event it becomes necessary to lay off employees for any reason, the employees shall be laid off in the inverse order of their seniority within their classification. Employees who are laid off shall be permitted to bump (replace) the least senior employee within the specific classification. If there are no less senior employees within the specific classification, the employee may bump the least senior employee in an equal classification provided the employee is qualified at the entry level for that classification, to perform the job. (Equal classification should be determined by pay grade.) If there are no less senior employees in an equal classification, the employee may bump the least senior employee in a lower classification, provided the employee is qualified to perform the job. Employees shall be given fifteen (15) working days notice prior to the effective date of any such layoff. Employees may opt to accept layoff at any point in the bumping process rather than exercising their bumping rights. Note 1: In the event that there are no least senior head custodian positions available to bump into, then a head custodian could bump into a regular custodial position.
Personnel Reduction and Recall. In the case of personnel reduction, the employee in the first classification affected with the least seniority shall be laid off first. However, if there is an employee in a lower classification with less seniority, the employee in the lower classification will be laid off if the employee affected by the initial layoff desires to work at the lower classification. No new employee shall be hired or promoted to a higher position until such time as all employees who have been laid off or temporarily shifted to a lower position within the preceding twelve (12) months have been given the opportunity to return to work or be reassigned to their higher position (if applicable), if such employee is physically qualified to perform available work at the time of recall or reassignment. Seniority, availability and qualifications in the City's fire service shall be given the utmost consideration in both layoffs and recall from layoffs. In the event the amount of time in the classification is equal, the order in which the employees are laid off or recalled will be at the discretion of the Fire Chief based on the employee's employment and professional record, provided that membership or non-membership in the Union shall not be considered by the Fire Chief. A joint committee consisting of six members shall meet to recommend which employee or employees are to be laid off or recalled to duty. The committee will also meet to discuss and select which employee or employees will be reassigned to a lower position or returned back to their original position. The committee will consist of the Fire Chief, the Human Resources Director, and an additional employee to be selected by the Fire Chief. The other three members will consist of the Union President or his designee and two additional Union members. Subject to approval by the City Manager, the Fire Chief will make the final recommendation for personnel reduction(s) and recall(s). When recalling a laid off employee to return to work, "availability" will be defined as the employee's ability to return to work within fifteen (15) business days (not including holidays and weekends).
