Layoff Recall A. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, if conditions warrant a layoff of personnel, the following procedure will be used:
1. In the event an employee must be laid off, layoff will be on the basis of seniority, certification, and qualifications. It is understood that the Association shall have the right to review the layoff list prior to notification of the individual to be laid off.
2. An employee in a position being reduced or eliminated shall have the right to be transferred to the full- time position held by the employee with the least seniority for which the more senior employee is certified and qualified. No part-time positions shall be created to retain a senior employee.
3. If the Board acts to lay off an employee, every effort will be made to notify the employee of that Board action within two (2) working days of the action.
B. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, a laid off employee shall be recalled to the first vacancy for which he/she is certified and qualified and in reverse order of layoff. Changes in certification and qualifications after the effective date of an employee's layoff are only taken into consideration in recall to vacant positions. A laid-off employee will be recalled to a vacant position for which he/she is certified and qualified before consideration for transfer to an open position will be given to any currently employed, qualified applicant. It is the laid off employee’s responsibility to have on file with the District a current certificate (including any additions or revisions to the certificate) as well as a current statement of any qualifications upon which recall decisions may be based.
C. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, an employee’s right to recall shall only extend for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of his/her layoff.
D. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, a laid off employee may continue his/her health, dental and life insurance benefits by paying monthly the normal per-subscriber group premium for such benefits to the Board, subject to conditions of existing policies provided such continuation does not affect the group rate.
E. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, during a period of impending layoffs in this District, the Board may grant requests for voluntary leaves of absence if the Board deems it economically sound to approve such requests and a satisfactory replacement can be employed.
F. As it relates to individual employees who are not regulated by the Teacher Tenure Act, notification of recall shall be in writing with a copy to the Association President. The notification shall be sent by certified mail to the employee’s last known address. It shall be the responsibility of each employee to notify the Board of any change in address.
LAY-OFF & RECALL Section 1. Whenever it is determined that a layoff is reasonably necessary, the following procedures will apply.
Section 2. All bargaining unit employees in an initial probationary period working in positions affected by the layoff will be assigned to other appropriate positions if available, or, if no other positions are available, shall be laid off prior to displacing any full-time regular employees.
Section 3. Staffing in the event that economic conditions require the layoff of full-time personnel, it is agreed as follows:
a. No layoff shall reduce full-time personnel below three (3) employees working 24/48 schedules.
b. If the City desires to reduce the employee's below three (3), the City must be declared in fiscal emergency by the auditor of state and reopen the contract to negotiate such changes, subject to fact-finding and conciliation if the parties are unable to agree.
Section 4. When it is determined by the Employer that regular full-time employees must be laid off, the employees affected will be laid off within six (6) months and according to lowest seniority and lowest EMS certification level first, provided that the employee(s) retained have the immediate skill and ability to perform the jobs to which they will be assigned. ‘
Section 5. No new bargaining unit employees shall be hired until all employees who have been laid off with recall rights have been given the opportunity to return to work. Laid-off employees will be notified by registered mail at their last known address to return to work within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of notification. Failure to report within the time limit will remove them from the recall list.
Section 6. Employees will retain their seniority for a period of twenty-four (24) months or the amount of their accrued seniority whichever is shorter and may be reinstated during this period. Employees will be recalled in reverse order of their layoff subject to their skill and ability to perform the job to which they are recalled.
Section 7. Upon layoff, an employee shall be paid for accrued but unused vacation and compensatory time. Such payment shall be included with the employee's last regular paycheck.
Notification of Recall Notification of recall from layoff shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, deliverable to addressee only, to the employee's last known address. The notice shall give the employee a minimum of ten (10) calendar days within which to respond after the notice of recall has been mailed. Employees who decline recall or who, in the absence of extenuating circumstances, fail to respond within the time set for return to work, shall be presumed to have resigned and their name shall be removed from the seniority and preferred eligibility list.
Recall Employees who have been laid off shall be re-employed in seniority order from most senior to least senior. Employees whose positions have been eliminated through layoff or otherwise, shall be called first to fill a vacancy within their job family.
1. Prior to other employees being recalled from the recall list, an employee who displaced another employee pursuant to provisions contained in this article shall have the right to be recalled to a vacant position for which they are qualified. However, the employee who displaces another employee shall not be eligible for a position at a higher pay grade than the one he/she originally held at the time of layoff. If the employee who displaced another employee fills a vacancy in his/her original department, then the employee whom he/she displaced will automatically be recalled into the position from which he/she previously held. After this process, other employees will be recalled to fill a vacancy for which they are qualified in the same department they were assigned at the time of their layoff.
2. Employees may be offered a position outside their department/program for which they are qualified. Employees may refuse a position outside their department/program. Employees who refuse such a position a second time shall have no further rights to recall.
3. Each employee on layoff shall be required to provide the District Personnel Office, in writing, with a current address to which a letter of recall may be sent. Employees being recalled shall be notified by “Certified Mail Delivery Confirmation” and shall have five (5) working days from the date of the receipt of notice to respond to the School Board’s offer and return to work. The School Board reserves the right to temporarily assign an employee to the vacancy until the recalled employee reports to work. If the letter is mailed to the address provided by the employee and is returned to the School Board because the address is incorrect, the School Board has fulfilled the obligation of this sub-section. If the School Board does not receive an affirmative response, the employee will be moved to the bottom of the recall list. If the recall notice is returned in the allotted time, yet not marked appropriately by the Human Resources & Equity Department, the employee shall retain his/her place on the recall list for the next job opening for which he/she is qualified. However, after the third returned notice, the employee’s name will be dropped from the recall list and the School Board shall have no further obligation to the employee.
4. An employee whose contract is non-renewed due to reorganization shall be entitled to recall rights for a layoff period of eighteen (18) months. All other employees shall be entitled to recall rights for a layoff period of twelve (12) months.
5. The employee laid off pursuant to this Article shall be given the opportunity to continue insurance coverages in existing programs during the layoff provided that the premium for such insurance programs shall be paid by the employee on a monthly basis in advance of the month due.
6. No new or substitute appointments may be made while there are laid off employees available who are qualified to fill the vacancies, except that employees may be hired into positions that have been offered and refused by employees on the layoff/recall list.
Product Recall (a) If a recall is required by applicable Law, or if Buyer or Supplier reasonably determines that a recall is advisable because the goods may create a potential safety hazard, are not in compliance with any applicable code, standard or legal requirement, or contain a defect or non-conformance with the requirements of this Order occurring or likely to occur in multiple goods, which such defects or non-conformances are substantially similar or have substantially similar causes or effects (collectively a “Serial Defect”), the parties shall promptly communicate such facts to each other. At Buyer’s request, Supplier shall promptly develop a corrective action plan satisfactory to Buyer, which shall include all actions required to recall and/or repair the goods and any actions required by applicable Law (“Corrective Action Plan”) for Buyer’s review and approval. At Buyer’s election, Xxxxx may develop the Corrective Action Plan. In no event shall Buyer and Supplier’s failure to agree on the Corrective Action Plan delay the timely notification of a potential safety hazard, non-compliance or Serial Defect to users of the goods, cause either party to be non-compliant with applicable Law or prevent Buyer from taking reasonable actions to prevent injury or damage to persons, equipment or other property. Supplier and Buyer shall cooperate with and assist each other in any corrective actions and/or filings, if applicable.
(b) To the extent a recall is required by applicable Law, or due to a potential safety hazard, non-compliance or Serial Defect, which is caused by Supplier, Supplier shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any recall, repair, replacement or refund program, including all costs related to: (i) investigating and/or inspecting the affected goods; (ii) notifying Buyer’s customers; (iii) repairing, or where repair of the goods is impracticable or impossible, repurchasing or replacing the recalled goods; (iv) packing and shipping the recalled goods; and (v) media notification. Each party shall consult the other before making any statements to the public or a governmental agency relating to such recall, potential safety hazard, non- compliance or Serial Defect, except where such consultation would prevent timely notification required by Law.

If both HSL and LMI contribute to the cause of a seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction, the cost and expense thereof will be shared in proportion to each Party’s contribution to the problem. For the purposes of this Agreement, the expenses of any recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure shall include, without limitation, the out-of-pocket expenses of notification and destruction or return of the recalled Product and all other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such recall but shall not include a Party’s lost profits. HSL’s reimbursement for the costs of LMI Materials related to such recall, withdrawal or field correction is limited by Section 5.6(c).

Recall from Layoff Full-time and regular part-time nurses shall be recalled in the order of seniority unless otherwise agreed between the Hospital and the local Union, subject to the following provisions, provided that a nurse recalled is qualified to perform the available work:
(a) Full-time and regular part-time nurses on layoff may notify the Hospital of their interest in accepting occasional vacancies and/or temporary vacancies which may arise and for which they are qualified. Such notification of interest shall state any restrictions on the type of assignment which a nurse is willing to accept, and shall remain valid for six weeks. However if a nurse declines an occasional or temporary vacancy the Hospital shall not be obliged to call upon the nurse again during the balance of such six-week period.
(b) For the purposes of this article, an "occasional vacancy" shall mean an assignment which is anticipated not to exceed five shifts (37.5 hours). Occasional vacancies shall be offered first to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses.
(c) For the purposes of this article, a "temporary vacancy" shall mean an assignment which is anticipated to exceed five shifts (37.5 hours). Temporary vacancies which arise in the full-time bargaining unit shall be offered by seniority first to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then by seniority to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses. Temporary vacancies which arise in the part-time unit shall be offered by seniority first to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then by seniority to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses.
(d) A nurse to whom an occasional or temporary vacancy is offered may accept or decline such vacancy and in either case shall maintain her or his position on the recall list. The acceptance of a temporary vacancy that is anticipated to exceed sixty (60) calendar days shall be considered a recall from layoff for purposes of Article 10.06(c). No new notice of layoff will be required and the nurse will be deemed to be laid off at the conclusion of the temporary vacancy. A full-time nurse on layoff who accepts a temporary full-time vacancy within thirty (30) days of the effective day of layoff will continue to receive benefit coverage for the duration of the temporary vacancy. A full-time nurse who has worked for more than 600 hours in 140 calendar days as the result of accepting one or more temporary vacancies shall thereafter be eligible for benefit coverage as a full-time nurse and shall be paid accordingly, and shall continue to receive benefit coverage so long as she or he continues to fill a temporary vacancy and such full-time employee shall accrue seniority in the manner prescribed for full-time employees throughout the period of employment. Otherwise, a full-time employee who accepts a temporary or occasional vacancy shall be paid her or his regular full-time rate of pay together with a percentage payment in lieu of benefits at the rate specified for part-time nurses. A full-time employee who accepts a temporary part-time vacancy or occasional vacancies as provided herein will accrue seniority throughout the period of such employment in the manner prescribed for part-time nurses. A part-time employee who accepts a temporary or occasional vacancy will accrue seniority throughout the period of such employment in the manner prescribed for part-time nurses.
