Common use of Salary Upon Appointment from a Layoff List Clause in Contracts

Salary Upon Appointment from a Layoff List. An employee who accepts appointment from a layoff list will assume the salary step held at the time of layoff if he or she is returned to the same class occupied immediately prior to the layoff. If the employee accepts appointment from a layoff list to a position in a lower classification, he/she will be placed at the step in the new range closest to the salary the employee was receiving prior to layoff. In the event the employee’s prior salary exceeds the top step of the new range, the employee will be placed at the top step of the new range. When the Employer intends to accomplish work with a temporary appointment requiring thirty (30) working days or more, the Employer will first offer the temporary appointment to the employee on the layoff list who was performing that work prior to their layoff, and then if necessary to the most senior qualified employee on the layoff list. Acceptance or refusal of a temporary appointment does not remove the individual from the layoff list.
