Position Elimination.
23.1 In the event the Co-operative plans to eliminate positions, the Co-operative shall give the Union and the affected employees a minimum of one-hundred and twenty (120) calendar days’ notice or pay in lieu of a portion thereof or the entirety of such to the employee. When the notice referred to above indicates that ten percent (10%) or more of the employees are negatively affected, the Co-operative and the Union agree to meet within thirty (30) days to review the opportunities and options available to employees notwithstanding that a collective agreement is in place. For clarity, this article is intended to apply to internal Co-operative reorganizations that result in the elimination of positions and is not applicable in the case of successorship, which shall be administered pursuant to the Saskatchewan Employment Act.
23.2 Position elimination will not become effective until after the notice period is complete.

a) Receiving severance and terminating employment upon completion of the notice period; or
b) Deferring the employment termination date and receipt of severance for six (6) months and receiving Supplemental Employment Benefits (SEB) in accordance with Article 14.
i) This option shall not extend the period of employment for purposes of severance calculation.
ii) Employees who choose this option and accept a permanent position with the Co-operative prior to their employment termination date will not be eligible to receive severance.
23.6 The Co-operative shall notify employees on lay-off of any vacancies occurring in the bargaining unit subject to the employee ensuring the Co-operative is provided with a current telephone number and mailing address, includin...
Position Elimination. Prior to the elimination of a position held by a unit member in his or her probationary period, the chief administrative officer or his/her designee shall meet with the department, division or other appropriate unit and the affected unit member to explain the reasons for the elimination. The impact of the elimination of a position is grievable; however, the reasons given as provided for above shall not constitute the basis for a grievance.
Position Elimination. 1. If the Board is contemplating the elimination of any bargaining unit positions, it (or its designee) will notify the Association in writing. The Board (or its designee) will meet and consult with the Association upon request by either party prior to a decision to eliminate any bargaining unit positions.
2. A decision by the Board to eliminate any bargaining unit position shall not be subject to the grievance procedure or arbitration.
3. In the event that the Board decides to eliminate any bargaining unit position, it shall give the Association written notice within five (5) days.
Position Elimination. The outcome of a restructure that results in the elimination of a position from a department.
Position Elimination. A. Should the Employer consider eliminating positions, under any program, such action shall be discussed with the Union prior to any such positions being eliminated.
B. The Employer will give the Union at least two (2) weeks prior notice of its intent to eliminate positions and the reasons for such.
C. The parties shall meet in special conference to determine the effect of any position elimination on seniority employees within a program and attempt to settle any problems which may be created.
Position Elimination. An employee whose position has been eliminated, may bump, based upon classification seniority and necessary qualifications:
a. the least seniored employee within her/his present category, or
b. a less seniored employee within her/his present classification, but not category, or
c. a less seniored employee within any classification in which she/he has previously accumulated seniority. An employee will be guaranteed a position of comparable hours per day and days per year unless they have the least seniority of all other comparable positions. If a part-time employee bumps a full-time employee, the part-time employee must assume all of the full-time employee's hours.
Position Elimination. Section 1. If it becomes necessary to reduce the number of bargaining unit members due to reduced enrollment, economic resources or funds, or changes in or consolidation of programs, the following procedure shall be utilized:
a. The Superintendent shall notify the Association of the grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) that are being considered for reduction, and shall identify the certification and HQT requirements (if applicable) that are associated with those grade level(s) and/or subject area(s).
b. Reductions shall be accomplished first by attrition, resignations and/or retirements, in the grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) designated by the School Board for reduction.
c. If more reductions are necessary, then non-continuing contract staff on Level One of the Evaluation Plan in the designated grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) shall be laid off.
d. If more reductions are necessary, then bargaining unit members in the designated grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) who have been on one or more performance improvement plan(s) for a total of 91 or more days, consecutively or non-consecutively, shall be laid off.
e. If more reductions are necessary, then all other bargaining unit members in the designated grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) shall be laid off from the designated grade level and/or subject area in inverse order of seniority. Seniority is teaching years of service in the Bow School District, with part-time or partial service accruing on a pro-rated basis (e.g., 3 years of half-time teaching equals 1.5 years of full-time teaching). If multiple bargaining unit members have the same seniority, the last bargaining unit member who was nominated for employment at a School Board meeting will be laid off first.
f. For the purpose of reduction-in-force, bargaining unit members will be classified according to their present assignment in terms of certification and HQT status (if applicable).
Section 2. A bargaining unit member who is laid off under Section 1(e) shall have full seniority rights in grade levels and/or subject areas to which the bargaining unit member is not presently assigned, provided the bargaining unit member is certified and HQT (if applicable) for such grade levels and/or subject areas. In such circumstances, the Superintendent will notify the Association that such grade level(s) and/or subject area(s) also are designated for reduction, and will apply the procedures of Section 1.
Section 3. Recall of a bargaining unit memb...
