The following procedure shall be utilized: List the employees' social security numbers; Reverse the last four numerals of each; Add the two middle numerals of the employees' social security numbers (between the hyphens); Place the sum at the end of the four numerals listed above. The individual with the lowest total is designated as having the higher seniority. Example: 000-00-0000 000-00-0000 4817 1492 6 + 1 = 7 5 + 8 = 13 (use only last numeral) 48177 14923 Lower Seniority Higher Seniority
