When there is a reduction in the work force, the following procedures shall be followed: Probationary Employees will be laid off on a classification basis provided the seniority Employees are able and qualified to perform the available work. B. Seniority Employees will be laid off by unit (i.e. Grounds/Custodial), according to seniority in their classifications, provided the greater seniority Employees are able and qualified to perform the available work. The General Supervisor and Custodial Supervisor classifications will be considered the same for Article 20 purposes. C.

If an Employee fails to report for work within five (5) working days from the date of delivery of notice of recall, he/she shall be considered a quit.
