Seniority Rights. 1) Regular employees in receipt of a lay-off notice will be required to choose one of the following options in accordance with Article 14:
a) lay-off with recall rights for one (1) year. A regular full-time employee or regular part-time employee who is laid off and chooses to place their name on the recall list rather than exercise their seniority rights shall be automatically recalled when a similar position in that particular classification becomes available. During the recall period, employees would be able to access work, for which they hold the required qualifications, from the on-call list.
b) exercise bumping rights. It is understood that an employee who exercises their bumping rights is relinquishing any claim to their previous position and further recall.
c) accept a severance payment according to clause 14.07.
2) The administration of bumping rights shall be as follows:
a) a regular full-time employee in receipt of a lay-off notice will be entitled to bump the least senior full-time employee for whose job they possess the minimum qualifications.
b) if a full-time position is not available, the employee will be entitled to bump the least senior part-time employee for whose job they possess the minimum qualifications.
c) a regular part-time employee in receipt of a layoff notice will be entitled to bump the least senior part-time employee for whose job they possess the minimum qualifications.
d) an employee who does not possess the minimum qualifications will be considered for the position by the Employer in a fair and equitable manner.
e) an employee who bumps into a new position will be required to serve a probationary period of three (3) months. In the event an employee proves unsatisfactory during the probationary period or if the employee is unable to perform the duties of their new position, they shall be laid off in accordance with clause 14.08, section 1, subsection (a) and (c).
f) On-call and temporary employees may not bump regular employees.
Seniority Rights. Subject to the express provision of the Collective Agreement in the areas cited below, seniority shall be used to accommodate employee’s preferences:
(a) choice of vacation periods within a location;
(b) in the application of the staffing procedures;
(c) in the application of employment security provisions.
Seniority Rights. When employees in a particular working group, as defined by the Health Centre, desire the same or overlapping vacation periods which, because of staffing requirements by the Health Centre, are not permitted, then the seniority of the employees directly affected shall govern in the assignment of vacation. A claim of precedence due to seniority shall be exercised only once in each fiscal year.
Seniority Rights. The School District recognizes that the purpose of seniority is to provide a declared policy as to the order of lay off and recall of employees, vacation selections, shift assignments, and building assignments. Employees with the least continuous service in the bargaining unit shall be laid off first within the area of reduction. For example, if there is a reduction in maintenance, the employee within maintenance that has the least amount of seniority in the bargaining unit will be laid off first. If any opening subsequently occurs, the laid- off employee with the most continuous service and with qualifications for the positions shall be the first recalled. The obligation to recall an employee who has been laid off shall expire at the end of one (1) year from the date of lay off. If a former employee elects not to return to work when recalled, or fails to respond to the letter of recall within ten (10) days of the date of recall, that former employee shall have no claim to be recalled to work for the District. Laid off employees shall have the following rights and responsibilities:
a) Shall be able to displace the least senior person within the same classification in which the employee has seniority provided the employee is qualified.
b) Shall be able to displace the least senior person in lower classification in which the employee has seniority provided the employee is qualified.
c) May accept the layoff subject to recall to a position of like status and pay. Refusal to accept such position when recalled will result in the forfeiture of all seniority rights.
d) May accept an open position of lesser status and pay. Refusal to accept such position shall not result in loss of any seniority rights. An employee’s recall rights shall expire at the end of one (1) year from the date of lay off. Rights to recall are terminated if the employee fails to provide contact information including current address and telephone number during lay-off.
e) Staff on the lay-off recall list is eligible to fill temporary positions without loss of lay- off recall status.
f) Staff on the lay-off recall list are eligible to fill temporary positions without loss of lay-off recall status. For the purposes of this section, the classifications rank is as follows:
A. Head Custodian B. Maintenance
Seniority Rights. An Employee's seniority shall entitle him only to such rights as are expressly provided for in this Agreement.
