Status of Laid Off Employees a) Both CUPE, Local 459 and the Board recognize that it is in the interest of both parties that laid off employees declare their intention regarding:
Status of Laid Off Employees. 6.1 Layoff for permanent and probationary employees is considered a leave of absence without pay (See Section 9) until an employee resigns. Termination occurs at the end of the life of a reemployment list. Layoff is not the same as termination unless the employee chooses to terminate in lieu of being placed on a reemployment list.
Status of Laid Off Employees. Laid off employees may request placement on the Employer's list of employees available for work in their classification. Such employees shall receive priority over contract, agency, or occasionals and shall be called- in in accordance with their availability and seniority. Placement on the list shall not result in any loss of seniority or recall rights. Employees on the list who are unable to come to work for legitimate reasons will not have their unemployment eligibility unfairly jeopardized. Laid off employees who have requested placement on the call-in list must work at least four shifts each calendar quarter (if they have been offered the opportunity to do so) and maintain all mandatory educational and/or certification requirements or they will be removed from the call-in list.
