Sequence of Layoff. A. The Department Head shall lay off sworn police officers who are serving an original probationary period, and who are in the classification in which the layoff is to occur, in accordance with Article 27-Seniority of this Agreement.
Sequence of Layoff. Within the job classification(s) selected for layoff within the departments, the following sequence of layoff shall occur:
Sequence of Layoff. In layoff and bumping the Employer shall consider each employee’s skill, ability, experience and qualifications. Seniority will be recognised as the determining factor when two (2) or more employees are relatively equal in respect of skill, ability, experience and qualifications. An employee subject to layoff under the terms of this Agreement will displace the least senior employee in their own classification and status and in the same location first. If there is no employee who an employee on layoff is able to displace at the same location and in the same classification and status then the employee may displace the least senior employee in the same classification and status within the same geographical area. There shall be two (2) geographical areas: Lower Mainland West, Lower Mainland East (includes Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Surrey). Employees may, as an option to bumping, self-terminate and receive the appropriate severance pay. Employees may, as an option to bumping, choose to be placed on the layoff list awaiting recall. Employees will be provided three (3) working days to decide, in writing, if their wishes to displace another employee, or self-terminate, or be placed on the layoff list. A reduction of hours within status does not constitute a layoff; however a reduction of hours that does change an employee’s status does constitute layoff.
Sequence of Layoff. In a layoff situation, the least senior employee in the classification will be the first (1st) affected provided the remaining employees have the qualifications, skills and demonstrated ability to do the required work. An employee subject to layoff under the terms of this Agreement will displace the least senior employee in the same department (Road Assist Contact Centre or/Administration) in the same salary range provided the employee has the qualifications, skills and demonstrated ability to do the job. If there is no employee who the employee is able to displace in the same salary range, then the employee will displace the least senior employee in the next lower salary range, in the same department, provided the employee is more senior then that person and has the qualifications, skills and demonstrated ability to do the job. And so on if necessary. If there is no one to displace, the employee will be laid off. An employee moved into a lower job level will be subject to the provisions of Article 11.06.
Sequence of Layoff. If the Township decides to reduce the work force, non- probationary bargaining unit employees shall be laid off in order of their length of service as full- time employees of the Fire Department, with the least senior employee being laid off first, provided the remaining employees have the experience, skills and ability to do the work.
