Common use of SENIORITY AND REDUCTION IN FORCE Clause in Contracts

SENIORITY AND REDUCTION IN FORCE. 8.1 Except as otherwise provided, seniority shall be determined by date of hire in the officer’s current rank (Full‐time Sergeant, Full‐time Patrol Officer, Part‐time Officer). 8.2 If an employee voluntarily resigns from the department, is terminated or is on a non‐job related leave of absence for more than twelve (12) months, he/she shall lose all his/her seniority. An employee who is laid off and subsequently recalled in accordance with Article 8.4 will retain any seniority earned prior to layoff. 8.3 In the event the Police Commission determines that a reduction in the number of bargaining unit positions is necessary, the Commission will designate the position, by rank, to be eliminated. The employee with the least seniority in the affected rank will be laid off. An employee who is laid off may bump the least senior employee in a lower rank, provided the bumping employee has more seniority than the employee being bumped. 8.4 In the event that a bargaining unit position of the same rank becomes vacant within two years of a reduction in force, employees shall be recalled in the reverse order from which they were laid off. If an employee is offered reemployment, he/she must notify the Chief or designee in writing of his/her intention within two (2) weeks of notification of the rehiring recall opportunity. An employee who declines a recall opportunity will be removed from the recall list. An employee who is laid off for more than thirty (30) days must apply to the Police Standards and Training Council for recertification. If the employee is ineligible for recertification, he/she shall be subject to immediate discharge and such discharge shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure. 8.5 The Department will prepare a seniority list on or about January 1st of each year and provide a copy to the Union for posting on its bulletin board.
