Reduction-in-Hours in Lieu of Layoff a. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article or of this Agreement, the County may, as an alternative to or in conjunction with a layoff, implement this reduction- in-hours in lieu of layoff provision by establishing a four-fifths (4/5) time position in lieu of any deleted full-time position and then assigning supervisors to such four-fifths time positions in lieu of the layoff of such supervisors in accordance with Section 13.1. b. When it becomes necessary due to a lack of work, lack of funds, or in the interest of economy, to implement a reduction-in-hours of supervisors in a department, the order in which supervisors within each class will be assigned to the four-fifths time position in lieu of layoff shall be based on seniority as provided in Section 13.5. c. Implementation of a reduction-in-hours in lieu of layoff shall not require the separation of temporary or provisional supervisors in the class involved.

  • Reductions (a) If a Lender or a Participant is subject to an applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16.2(a) or 16.2(c) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. (b) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses).

  • REDUCTION IN FORCE (RIF 13.1 This Section 13 shall apply to all Covered Employees. 13.2 As provided in state law and Board policy, the Board may cancel the employment contracts of Covered Employees when there is a justifiable decrease in the number of covered employee positions as a result of a fiscal exigency or program change as determined by the Board. However, before any meeting of the Board at which the Board will consider a proposed resolution or decision that a fiscal exigency exists or a program change is to be made that may require the cancellation of the employment contract of one or more Covered Employees, the Superintendent shall convene a meeting of the Professional Council established pursuant to Section 7 above to consult regarding the nature and extent of the fiscal exigency or proposed program change, and regarding any plan then contemplated by the administration for reduction of covered employee positions. 13.3 If the Board decides that the number of covered employee positions is to be reduced, normal attrition, retirement, and resignations shall be considered prior to any cancellation of Covered Employee employment contracts. In the event that cancellation of Covered Employee employment contracts is necessary to achieve the reduction required by the Board, the following shall be considered as significant factors in determining which particular employment contracts will be recommended for cancellation: 13.3.1 The needs of the district. 13.3.2 The best interest of the students enrolled in the district. 13.3.3 Education, licensing endorsements and other professional qualifications. 13.3.4 Job performance over the previous three year period as measured using the criteria and standards set by the Board for evaluation of Teachers and Counselors in accordance with applicable state law and state board of education rules governing evaluation of licensed personnel. 13.4 The probationary or non-probationary status of a Covered Employee, and the seniority of a Covered Employee, shall also be considered as additional factors in determining which employment contracts will be recommended for cancellation as a result of the decrease in covered employee positions, except that such additional factors may be considered only after the consideration of the factors set forth in the Paragraph 13.3 above, and only if consideration of such additional factors is in the best interest of the students enrolled in the district. The parties agree that such additional factors shall be applied as follows: (1) as between Covered Employees in the same endorsement area for whom the factors set forth subparagraph 13.3.1 to 13.3.4, above are not determinative as to whose employment contract should be cancelled, the Probationary I Covered Employees should be cancelled first, Probationary II Covered Employees second, and Probationary III Covered Employees third, before the employment contracts of Non-probationary Status Covered Employees are cancelled; and (2) as between Non-probationary Status Covered Employees in the same licensed and endorsement area for whom the factors set forth subparagraph 13.3.1 to 13.3.4, above are not determinative as to whose employment contract should be cancelled, the employment contracts of Non-probationary Status Covered Employees will be cancelled in the inverse order of seniority. 13.5 Covered Employees who have been subject to a RIF shall have the right to be recalled to a covered employee position, for which they are qualified, within the District for one (1) year from the date of RIF. Covered Employees shall be recalled in reverse order of RIF and previously accrued benefits shall be restored. 13.6 Probationary Covered Employees whose contracts will be canceled during, instead of at the end of, a school year; and Non-probationary Status Covered Employees whose contracts will be canceled either during, or at the end of, a school year, shall have a right to a hearing on the propriety of such cancellation in accordance with Board policy and regulations. If such a hearing is desired, the Covered Employee will request it in writing to the Board or Superintendent within ten (10) days after being notified of the proposed contract cancellation. If a hearing is requested, the Board will appoint an impartial hearing officer, who will specify the procedural rules to apply at such hearing. At the hearing, the Covered Employee may be represented by a person of the Covered Employee’s choice.

  • REDUCTION IN STAFF 15.1 Procedure According to provisions of Missouri Statute 168.124, the Board of Education may place on leave of absence as many teachers as necessary because of decrease in enrollment, school district reorganization, or financial conditions. Whenever the Board anticipates a reduction in teaching staff, the superintendent or his/her designee will notify the officials of the Association concerning the anticipated reduction in the teaching staff. A meeting between the Association officials and the superintendent or his/her designee will be scheduled for purposes of discussing the proposed reduction in staff within two weeks (2) following the above notification. Individual teachers will not be contacted prior to the above meeting. In placing teachers on leave, the Board shall be governed by the following provisions: a. Teachers placed on leave of absence as herein provided shall be considered to be on "unrequested leave of absence." b. Seniority for the purposes of this reduction shall be defined as continuous full-time, complete years of employment in the school district. Authorized leaves of absence shall not be considered interruptions in service. Seniority date shall be the date of Board approval of the teacher's initial contract with the district. A district-wide seniority list including all areas of certification for each teacher shall be established and kept current. (Definition of official hire date: The most recent uninterrupted continuous full-time employment as a teacher.) c. No permanent teacher shall be placed on unrequested leave of absence while probationary teachers are retained in positions for which a permanent teacher is certified. d. Permanent teachers shall be retained on the basis of merit and qualification. The following criteria will be used to determine merit and qualifications for the purpose of reduction in staff. 1. Educational placement on the salary schedule. 2. Areas of permanent certification. 3. Activities beyond the teaching contract. 4. Related teaching experience. 5. Effectiveness in the field or at the grade level. If one or more teachers are determined to have equal merit and qualifications, those teachers shall be ranked in order of seniority as defined in b., with the more senior teacher to be considered more meritorious and qualified.

  • REDUCTION IN WORK FORCE (1) In the event of a reduction in the work force, regular full-time and regular part-time employees shall be laid off in reverse order of seniority, provided that there are available employees with greater seniority who are qualified and have the ability to do the work of the employees laid off. The Employer shall give regular employees written notice of layoff or normal pay for that period in lieu of notice as follows: i) One (1) weeks’ notice after three (3) consecutive months of employment, ii) Two (2) weeks’ notice after twelve (12) consecutive months of employment, iii) Three (3) weeks’ notice after three (3) consecutive years, plus one additional week for each additional year of employment to a maximum of eight (8) weeks. iv) Employees shall be entitled to Group Termination notice/pay pursuant to Section 64 of the Employment Standards Act. (2) Laid-off regular employees shall retain their seniority and perquisites accumulated up to the time of layoff, for a period of one (1) year and shall be rehired, if the employee possesses the capability of performing the duties of the vacant job on the basis of the posting procedure. If a laid-off employee is not recalled to work within twelve (12) calendar months of layoff, such employee may be terminated by written notification at the expiration of the twelve (12) calendar month period. Laid-off employees failing to report for work of an ongoing nature within seven (7) days of the date of receipt of notification by registered mail shall be considered to have abandoned their right to employment. Employees required to give two (2) weeks' notice to another Employer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the seven (7) day provision. (3) Where a notice of displacement or layoff actually results in a layoff and prior to the layoff becoming effective, two (2) copies of such notice shall be sent to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Local.

  • Retirement in Lieu of Layoff Any employee who was subject to being, or was in fact, laid off and who is qualified for and who elected service retirement from the Public Employees’ Retirement System shall be placed on an appropriate reemployment list.
