Common use of Reduction of Work Force Clause in Contracts

Reduction of Work Force. 9.1 Classified bargaining unit members shall be subject to layoff for lack of work or lack of funds. Whenever a classified bargaining unit member is laid off, the order of layoff within the job classification shall be determined by date of hire. The bargaining unit member who has been employed the shortest time in the class plus time in a higher job classification shall be laid off or reduced in hours first. Bargaining unit members laid off are eligible for re-employment for a period of 39 months. Re-employment shall be in the reverse order of layoff. Permanent bargaining unit members laid off shall have the right to participate in District promotional examinations at the In- House level during the thirty-nine (39) month period. 9.2 Bargaining unit members who accept voluntary demotions or voluntary reductions in assigned time in lieu of layoff or remain in their present positions rather than be reclassified or reassigned shall be granted the same rights as persons who are laid off and shall retain eligibility for reemployment for an additional period of up to twenty-four (24) months. The bargaining unit member may return to any position within their former class with increased assigned time in order to regain the hours lost in the layoff action as vacancies become available, except that they shall be ranked in accordance with their seniority on any valid re-employment list. 9.3 For purposes of this Article, service commencing or continuing after July 1, 1976, "length of service" means all holiday, recess, or during any period that school is in session or closed, but does not include any hours compensated solely on an overtime basis. 9.4 Members of the bargaining unit shall hold re-employment rights for a period of thirty-nine (39) months from the date of layoff and shall be re-employed in accordance with their rank in their job classification on the re-employment list, and in preference to new applicants for a position in the same job classification. 9.5 The District will attempt to reassign a regular bargaining unit member who has been laid off according to their bargaining unit seniority, providing the bargaining unit member is qualified and is willing to accept such an assignment. Any adjustment in salary would be made in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement. 9.6 Temporary bargaining unit members whose services have been discontinued because of a reduction in staff shall hold no re-employment rights as such. 9.7 Probationary bargaining unit members who are laid off because of staff reduction shall be returned to their former positions on the basis of seniority within their given job description and as the need for their services may develop. 9.8 If two (2) or more bargaining unit members subject to layoff have the same date of hire, the determination as to who shall be laid off will be made on the basis of greater bargaining unit seniority or, if that be equal, the greater length of service, and if that be equal, then the determination shall be made by lot.
