Salary Advancement H. The City Manager may approve the appointment of an employee who is to be laid off to an existing vacancy in a lower class for which the employee is qualified without requiring an examination, provided the concerned department head so recommends.
I. The names of regular employees who have been laid off or bumped down due to reduction in force shall be placed on an appropriate layoff reemployment list according to date separated or bumped down and shall be eligible for reemployment. The last employee laid off or bumped down shall be the first employee on the list, with other employees listed in sequential order thereafter. Each employee on the layoff reemployment list shall remain on that list for 1 year, at which time the list expires unless extended by the City Manager. Names of employees not responding to written notification of an opening within 10 working days shall be removed from the reemployment list. The City Manager can extend the active period of the reemployment list or individual employee's eligibility on such list for a 6-month period as determined to be in the best interests of the City.
J. Notice of recall from layoff shall be by return-receipt-requested mail and shall specify the date for reporting to work, which shall not be more than 21 calendar days from the date the notice is received. Notice shall be deemed to have been received when sent to the last known address on file with the City and attempted delivery or delivery is certified by the Postal Service. Upon receiving notice, the person on layoff shall have 5 calendar days to accept or decline the recall opportunity. An employee who fails to respond within the 5 calendar days, refuses recall, or fails to report on the prescribed date within the 21-calendar-day maximum thereby waives all further right to recall and reinstatement as an employee. Where recall is declined, the City will proceed to the next name on the reemployment list and follow the same notice and response procedure. This process will continue through the list until recall needs are met on the list or the list is exhausted.
K. A person appointed from a reemployment list must serve a new probationary period if recall from such list occurs more than 90 calendar days after the effective date of layoff. The new probationary period in such circumstances shall be 6 months.
L. Reemployed employees shall receive the following:
1. Retention of full-time service seniority accrued at the date of layoff.
2. The salary for the classification in effect as of the date of return, at the same step as the date of layoff.
3. The accrual rate of vacation and sick leave in effect for the employee's seniority level and class at the time of rehire.
4. All the benefits or programs in effect at the time of layoff shall be forfeited unless they are still applied to the classification or salary range at the time of rehire or provided to new hires as of that date.
M. An employee who elects to resign in lieu of layoff, or while laid off, shall forfeit all rights to reemployment and is entitled only to those rights related to severance from City employment.

Deferred Salary Leave Plan (1) The deferred salary leave plan enables Employees to take one (1) year of leave from the Public Service and to finance this leave through a deferral of Salary in previous years.
(2) Under this plan, participating Employees agree to defer a portion of their Salary for four (4) consecutive Academic Years and the Employer agrees to grant the Employee leave in the fifth year, and to use the amounts deferred in the previous four (4) years to pay the Employee's Salary during the period of the leave. Participation in the plan is subject to operational requirements.
(3) During the period of leave, Employees may engage in whatever activities they wish.
(4) The individual plan for each participating Employee is a six (6) Academic Year period consisting of the following:
(a) The first four consecutive years during which the Employee draws 80% of Salary earned in each of the four years and defers the remaining 20%;
(b) The fifth consecutive year in which the Employee takes the leave, and is paid from the amounts deferred above plus any interest earned on the deferred funds; and
(c) The sixth consecutive year in which the Employee returns to employment with the Public Service of Nunavut for a minimum of one year.
(5) There is no maximum number of Employees allowed to enter the plan.
(6) Executive Directors ensure that approved leaves do not impair the future operation of their School Operations.
(7) Employees make written application to their Executive Director. Applications should state the proposed start of the Salary deferral and the proposed period of leave.
(8) The Executive Director reviews the application and the requirements of the School Operations and notifies the Employee and the respective Department of Finance, Pay and Benefits Officer at least six (6) weeks prior to the start of Salary Deferral.
(9) Each participant will sign an agreement covering the details of the plan.
(10) In each year of the plan preceding the period of the leave, the Employee will be paid 80% of the applicable Salary. The remaining 20% of Salary will be deferred and this amount will be retained in trust by the Employer to finance payments during the period of leave.
(11) The deferred Salary will be placed in a trust fund by the Government and any returns on the investment of the trust will be used to pay the participant during the period of leave.
(a) The money held in trust will be pooled with other Government funds and the Employee will be credited with the average rate of return on those funds.
(b) Investments will be restricted to those eligible under Section 57(1) of the Financial Administration Act.
(c) A statement of the individual's account will be provided at each anniversary of the plan.
(12) During the period of leave, the participant shall receive, if on a one (1) year leave, one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the amount deferred plus any trust fund returns in each pay period, less applicable deductions. No additional payments to the participant can be made such as loans, subsidies, Allowances or Salary.
(13) Income tax will be deducted in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act and its Regulations.

(16) Returning Employees will have their qualifications re-assessed and placed on the appropriate pay scale.
(17) The Employer shall cancel participation in the plan and shall refund, within 60 days, the total of the deferred Salary plus earnings from the plan if the Employee dies or employment is otherwise terminated.
(18) Where operational requirements would not be met if the Employee proceeded on leave in the fifth year, or where exceptional changes in personal circumstances make the leave unfeasible, the Employer will give the Employee the choice of the following:
(a) withdrawing from the plan and taking a refund of the total in the deferred salary account; or
(b) deferring the period of leave to either the sixth or the seventh academic consecutive year or to some other mutually agreeable time.
(19) Upon withdrawal from the plan the total in the account will be repaid to the Employee within 60 days from the notification of withdrawal.
