Position Abolition a. Whenever a position is ordered abolished by the Authority Board, seniority shall be observed in reducing personnel and the order of lay-off shall be in reverse order of seniority. Lay-off shall be made within classes of positions, and all provisional employees in the affected class or classes shall be laid off prior to the lay-off of any probationary or permanent employee.
Position Abolition a) A position is considered abolished when a substantial part of the duties done and responsibilities assumed by an employee have either disappeared or have been significantly altered as part of an administrative reorganization.
Position Abolition. Position abolition refers to the elimination of a job where a substantial and material part of the duties and responsibilities performed by an employee have either disappeared or have been significantly altered due to administrative reorganization. Administrative reorganization may occur for a variety of reasons including financial constraints, restructuring of operations within a department/unit, change in mission or mandate of a department/unit, or the ongoing need for the job. Abolition of a position shall not be deemed to occur other than in the context of an administrative reorganization. For greater certainty, abolition shall not be deemed to occur in the context of an updating of a classification, including situations where an existing position number is maintained but the job profile of the position is reclassified. The abolition of positions must not be used to resolve disciplinary measures.
Position Abolition. If the Board decides to abolish or merge job positions under this Agreement, it shall notify the Union in writing no less than thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of such change.
