In addition the Hospital shall identify to the union the affected employees and agrees to meet with the union to discuss the layoff if requested. An employee who is subject to layoff for a period not greater than thirteen weeks in any period of 20 consecutive weeks shall have the following entitlements: (a) Accept the layoff. During this period of layoff the employee may elect to receive payment of some or all of his/her earned lieu time and/or vacation credits up to a maximum of the period of the layoff. It is understood that his/her vacation bank and entitlement will be appropriately reduced for that vacation year. (b) Displace an employee who holds a position in his/her own classification, a lower or identical paying classification who has lesser bargaining unit seniority, if the employee originally subject to layoff can perform the duties of the less senior employee's position without training or orientation.
