Common use of Recall will be in reverse order of layoff Clause in Contracts

Recall will be in reverse order of layoff. 1. No new bargaining unit employee will be hired by the Broward County Fire Rescue Division until all laid off members are offered recall or the recall list is expired. A recall list in order of layoff/seniority will be maintained by the County. In the event an entry level bargaining unit position becomes available, and a recall list currently exits, the County will recall the most senior, qualified employee on the list. 2. Employees to be offered recall shall be informed of the County's offer for re- employment in the form of written notice. This notice shall be mailed via registered receipt requested, to the last known address of the employee as shown on the employer's record, and is considered received by the employee when said receipt is returned. Within ten (10) working days after an employee receives notice (as defined above) of the County offer for re-employment, she/he must advise the County in writing that she/he accepts re-employment and will be able to commence work on the date specified or a date mutually agreed upon. 3. Any and all re-employment rights granted to an employee shall terminate upon such employee's failure to accept the offered position within the allotted time or failure to respond to the County's recall notice. The recall list shall be the preferential hiring list for employees affected by a layoff. The recall list shall remain in effect for a period of two (2) years and may be extended at the discretion of the Human Resources Division Director. 4. An employee's accumulated seniority as of the date of layoff shall be retained while on the recall list but shall not be accumulated during such period.
