PREVAILING WAGE RATES - PUBLIC WORKS AND BUILDING SERVICES CONTRACTS If any portion of work being Bid is subject to the prevailing wage rate provisions of the Labor Law, the following shall apply:
SENIORITY, LAYOFF AND RECALL A. Upon the offer of a position as a non-probationary bargaining unit member, as set forth in Article 7 [B], and the acceptance of the offer, the employee shall be entered on the seniority list, with seniority retroactive to the first day of employment as a probationary employee. There shall be no seniority among probationary employees. B. Seniority shall be defined as the length of continuous service within a classification within the bargaining unit. Bargaining unit members, who transfer between classifications, or another bargaining unit, or to a supervisory position, will have seniority in his/her former classification frozen. Bargaining unit members simultaneously assigned to more than one (1) classification will accrue seniority in both classifications. Ties on the seniority list shall be broken by the first three digits of the bargaining unit member’s social security number with the bargaining unit member having the higher number being placed first. Seniority shall accumulate while on approved leaves and shall not be considered an interruption in continuous service. Bargaining unit members will lose seniority if the bargaining unit member quits, retires, is discharged, is absent for three (3) or more consecutive days without approval, or fails to return from recall in a timely fashion. C. Classifications for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the following: Classification I: Special Education Paraeducators: providing instructional support, behavior management, daily living needs and/or community based support services. Classification II: Overload Paraeducators: providing classroom overload support services. Classification III: Title I Paraeducator D. It is specifically recognized that it is within the sole discretion of the Board to reduce its staff. Layoff shall be defined as a reduction in the number of bargaining unit members or a reduction in the bargaining unit member’s hours. In the event it becomes necessary to lay off, the following procedures will be implemented: 1. Temporary and probationary employees within the affected classification will be laid off first, provided that the remaining bargaining unit members within the classification are qualified and available to perform the work for the positions scheduled to be retained. 2. In the event it is necessary to lay off bargaining unit members with seniority, the bargaining unit member[s] in the position being eliminated shall be laid off on the basis of seniority, provided that the remaining bargaining unit members within the classification are qualified and available to perform the work of that position. Bargaining unit members affected by a layoff shall have the right to displace the least senior bargaining unit member in that classification, if they are qualified and can perform the duties of that position. E. Attempts will be made by the Employer to keep bargaining unit members likely to be affected by layoff informally updated. Bargaining unit members scheduled to be laid off shall be given at least fifteen [15] working days written notice prior to the effective date of the layoff. Upon request, the Employer will meet with the Association President to view the layoff list prior to its implementation. F. Bargaining unit members currently working in the unit shall be eligible for a vacancy before laid-off bargaining unit members are recalled. However, bargaining unit members on layoff shall be recalled before granting any positions to external candidates. Bargaining unit members will be recalled to positions within the classification from which the bargaining unit member was laid off in the inverse order of layoff, provided the bargaining unit member is qualified and can perform the work of that position. Notice of recall will be sent by Certified mail to the bargaining unit member’s last known address on file with the Human Resources Office of the Employer. It shall be the bargaining unit member’s responsibility to keep the Employer notified as to his/her current mailing address. A copy of recall notices will be sent to the Association President. Bargaining unit members will have five (5) calendar days to return to work, except under extenuating circumstances authorized by the Superintendent. The refusal to grant an extension shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. A bargaining unit member who declines a recall for which she/he is qualified shall forfeit his seniority and employment rights under this Agreement. Recall rights shall terminate twenty-four [24] months from the effective date of the bargaining unit member’s layoff. Thereafter, a bargaining unit member shall lose his/her rights to recall. G. For purposes of layoff, displacement and recall, the requirement that a bargaining unit member be qualified and able to perform the work of a position includes the requirement of the work of instructional support, living assistance, community-based support and/or behavior management support, as may be required in the particular position in question.

The phrase, "full salary," as utilized in this section, shall be computed so that it shall not be less than the unit member's "average weekly earnings" as that phrase is utilized in Section 4453 of the Labor Code. For purposes of this section, however, the maximum and minimum average weekly earnings set forth in Section 4453 of the Labor Code shall otherwise not be deemed applicable. 12.6.5 Industrial accident or illness leave shall be reduced by one (1) day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a temporary disability indemnity award. 12.6.6 When an industrial accident or illness leave overlaps into the next fiscal year, the unit member shall be entitled to only the amount of unused industrial accident or illness leave due him/her for the same illness or injury. 12.6.7 Upon termination of the industrial accident or illness leave, the unit member shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Education Code Sections 87780, 87781 and 87786, and for the purposes of each of these sections his/her absence shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of termination for the industrial accident or illness leave, provided that if the unit member continues to receive temporary dis- ability indemnity, he/she may elect to take as much of his/her accumulated sick leave which, when added to his/her temporary disability indemnity, will result in a payment to him/her of not more than his/her full salary. 12.6.8 During any paid leave of absence, the unit member may endorse to the District the temporary disability indemnity checks received on account of his/her industrial accident or illness. The District, in turn, shall issue the unit member appropriate salary warrants for payment of the unit member's salary, and shall deduct normal retirement, other authorized contributions, and the temporary disability indemnity, if any, actually paid to, and retained by, the employee for periods covered by such salary warrants. 12.6.9 Any unit member receiving benefits as a result of this section shall, during periods of injury or illness, remain within the State of California, unless the Governing Board authorizes travel outside the state. 12.6.10 When all available leaves of absence have been exhausted and the unit member is not medically able to return to all the duties of his/her prior assignment, the District shall provide first (1st) priority in assigning such a person into classes where his/her disability, in the discretion of the District, does not hinder the performance of the duties required of him/her if he/she is otherwise qualified. With mutual agreement with the unit member, the District may also assign an employee into a position that can reasonably accommodate his/her performance of duties required by the position, despite his/her disability, prior to the exhaustion of leave of absence.
