Staffing Consultant will designate in writing to Authority its representative, and the manner in which it will provide staff support for the project, which must be approved by Authority. Consultant must notify Authority’s Contract Representative of any change in personnel assigned to perform work under this Contract, and the Authority’s Contract Representative has the right to reject the person or persons assigned to fill the position or positions. The Authority’s Contract Representative shall also have the right to require the removal of the Consultant’s previously assigned personnel, including Consultant’s representative, provided sufficient cause for such removal exists. The criteria for requesting removal of an individual will be based on, but not limited to, the following: technical incompetence, inability to meet the position’s qualifications, failure to perform, poor attendance, ethics violation, unsafe work habits, or damage to Authority or other property. Upon notice for removal, Consultant shall replace such personnel with personnel substantially equal in ability and qualifications for the positions and shall submit the proposed replacement personnel qualification and abilities to the Authority, in writing, for approval.
Staffing Plan 8.l The Board and the Association agree that optimum class size is an important aspect of the effective educational program. The Polk County School Staffing Plan shall be constructed each year according to the procedures set forth in Board Policy and, upon adoption, shall become Board Policy.
Layoff Recall Section 1. Bargaining unit employees shall be laid off and recalled on the basis of available work within each job classification. Layoffs shall be in reverse order of seniority and recalls shall be in order of seniority; provided however, that in order to avoid layoff and in order to be subject to recall, the most senior employee within the affected classification must be qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all available work. Any gross abuse of the University's discretion to judge qualifications shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Any employee who would otherwise be laid off may bump (i.e., replace) the least senior employee in another bargaining unit job classification if they previously held such job with the University and remain qualified, in the judgment of the University, to perform all work available in the job into which they are bumping. An employee who elects not to bump shall not lose their right to recall to the employee’s regular job, but shall lose their bumping rights for the duration of the layoff. When it becomes necessary to lay off an employee, such employee shall, if possible, be notified at least ten (10) work days before the layoff occurs; provided, however, such notice shall not be required with respect to temporary layoffs or lack of work occasioned by breakdown of machinery, floods, fires, utility failures, Acts of God, or other causes beyond the University's control. When an employee is to be recalled from layoff, the University shall notify the employee by telephone (confirmed by certified or hand delivered letter, copy to Chief Xxxxxxx) specifying the time to report back to work, which notice shall, if possible, not be less than five (5) work days prior to the reporting time. In order to be eligible for recall, any employee who is laid off must keep the University currently advised in writing of their current whereabouts, address and telephone number, and any temporary changes thereof. The employee shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of recall, notify the University if for any reason the employee cannot report for work at the specified time. In the event an employee is unable to return to work due to illness or injury certified by a physician, the employee shall not lose their right to subsequent recall but the University may pass them over in order to fill an available position.
New Employee Orientation The Union will provide each agency personnel director with the names and addresses of up to two (2) authorized Union representatives per agency to receive notice of each formal orientation meeting held by the Department. The notice will be sent as soon as such meetings are scheduled (but not less than ten (10) days in advance) and will include date, time and location. Due to operational exigencies, agencies may schedule an orientation which will provide the Union with less than the requisite ten (10) days' notice; however the Union shall be notified as soon as possible after the scheduling of the orientation and the Union representative shall be released from duty. Agencies shall routinely schedule orientations in a manner that will allow for the ten (10) day advance notice to the Union. During the formal orientation, the Union will be permitted to give a twenty (20) minute presentation which may include an enrollment in supplemental Union benefits. The parties shall encourage employee attendance, although attendance shall not be mandatory if an employee objects to attending the presentation. In the event a formal orientation meeting is not held, or the Union is unable to attend the formal orientation because the designated Union representatives cannot be released under Article 4, the Employer shall allow the Union representative and the employee(s) to meet during duty hours at a mutually agreed upon time and location for twenty (20) minutes Employee participation in these meetings shall be encouraged although an employee shall not be required to attend such a meeting.
Layoff and Recall (a) A layoff of employees shall be made on the basis of seniority, based on an integrated seniority list of all hours paid since date of last hire. It is understood and agreed that through the bumping procedure the first to be laid off are probationary employees followed by those who work casual part-time shifts. No agency or new hires will be used when there is an employee on layoff provided that the employees on layoff will meet the staffing requirements of the Home. An employee will not be laid off out of seniority order if her lack of qualification for a junior employee’s shift can be remedied by a three (3) day orientation to that shift. An employee will not be denied recall to a shift if her lack of qualification for the recall opportunity can be remedied by a three (3) day orientation to that shift.
