Common use of Refusal of an Offer Clause in Contracts

Refusal of an Offer. Refusal of an offer of reinstatement at an employee’s level for which the employee is qualified shall result in forfeiture of any further reinstatement rights. If an offer of demotion is made and the employee refuses the offer, no further offers of demotion are required to be made. If the employee so requests, and if the District approves, the laid-off employee who has refused an offer of reinstatement may be placed at the lowest seniority position (i.e., bottom of the layoff list), and may then have one (1) further opportunity for reinstatement to an available vacancy within the original twenty-four (24) month reinstatement rights period, but only after all others on that seniority group layoff list have had the opportunity of reinstatement.
