Recall Procedure to the Same Department and Seniority Group Sample Clauses

Recall Procedure to the Same Department and Seniority Group. When openings occur within the same seniority group and in the same department from which employees have been laid off or bumped, such employees will be recalled to the same department and in the same seniority groups at the same salary grade or lower, in the order of their seniority. Failure to accept recall to a lower salary grade within the same seniority group shall constitute a waiver to recall and voluntary resignation. A recalled employee who accepts a position in a lower salary grade shall have secondary recall rights to his/her former position for a period of time equal to his/her seniority or thirty (30) months, whichever is less. A recalled employee to a classification other than that from which they were laid off from, will be on a trial period for two hundred fifty-six (256) work hours. If, within the sole discretion of the elected official or department head, or their designee, the recalled employee cannot and does not satisfactorily perform the duties of said position, he/she shall be given three (3) days' notice of their inability to perform. Said decision shall not and is not subject to any grievance procedure provided for in this Agreement. The employee will then be returned to laid off status.
