Common use of SENIORITY AND LAY OFF Clause in Contracts

SENIORITY AND LAY OFF. Section 1. Seniority by job classification shall prevail in cases of lay off. If reduction in force requires the layoff of a unit employee, the affected employee may, at his/her option, revert to a lower unit position the employee held prior to promotion. If this movement requires a further reduction in force, the same shall be accomplished and the process continued through the ranks. Section 2. No new employees shall be hired in the classification affected until the employee on lay off has been given an opportunity to return to work at the employee's original seniority date and position, provided, that after one year of lay off, the employee shall cease to accrue seniority and shall lose reemployment rights. Section 3. The Authority shall publish and maintain a seniority list for members of the unit by classification. Employees shall have the right to challenge their placement on the seniority list within seven (7) days of the date on which the employee knew or should have known of initial placement on the seniority list. Section 4. Seniority shall date from date of hire, or, in the case of promotion, the date of promotion. In the event both employees are promoted on the same day, their seniority shall be decided by their relative position on the promotion list referenced in Section 16 of Article XV. In the event that two or more employees are hired on the same date, then their relative seniority shall be determined by the date and time of their electronic application. If an employee is promoted to a position outside of the Police Department and is returned to his/her former class during the probationary period, no adjustment will be made to their seniority date. If the employee returns to the former class after completing probation in a position outside of the Police Department, the seniority date will be adjusted to reflect the period of time out of the classification. Employees returning to their former classification from a position within the Police Department will have all time credited to their former classification.
