Regular re-employment. An employee so recalled to work shall report at the call of the Employer which shall be communicat- ed by certified letter to the employee’s last known address as filed with the Employer and to the Local Union by facsimile mail. The employee shall respond, as soon as possible, advising the Employer of his/her acceptance or rejection of the recall, and if accepted, phys- ically report for duty within 120 hours from receipt of the certified letter, or date of final attempted delivery of the certified letter, exclu- sive of Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. If the employee fails to re- port for duty within 120 hours from receipt of final attempted deliv- ery of certified letter, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, the Employer will advise the employee by certified letter, with a copy to the Local Union, that his/her failure to report has removed him/her from the seniority list, terminating his/her employment. Such notice of removal by certified letter shall be within the time limits provided in Article 44, Section 5(b) commencing with the date of knowledge by the Employer of the receipt of the certified letter or date of final attempted delivery of the certified letter. If the laid off employee has notified the Employer in writing that he/she will be away from his/her home address, specifying the ex- act period of his/her absence, and the reason therefore, and upon receipt of such notice, the Employer will be relieved of any obliga- tion in recalling such employee, during the period specified by the employee. The above requirement fulfills the obligation of the Em- ployer under the provisions of this Agreement. Grievance filings on the above shall be subject to the time limitations set forth in Article 44, Section 5.
