Common use of Right of Recall Clause in Contracts

Right of Recall. Laid-off staff members shall retain a right of recall, for a period of twelve (12) months after layoff, to term or regular positions at the same or lower salary grade for which they are qualified and capable of doing the work after a reasonable period of familiarization. Subject to the foregoing and bona fide operational requirements, recall shall be offered first in order of service to positions doing substantially the same work at the same salary grade and then if the position remains unfilled, on the basis of service. A staff member may only decline recall to a position at a lower salary grade, a reduced FTE, or to a term position and remain on the recall list. Where the staff member accepts a term position the staff member can elect severance under Article 26.07 at the expiry of the term appointment in which case the severance pay will be calculated based on the service and salary of the staff member at the time of initial layoff. A staff member recalled to a term position may elect, upon the expiry of the term appointment, to remain on the recall list. Time spent working in a term position will not be counted as time on the recall list.
