Seniority List The Employer shall maintain a seniority list showing the date upon which each employee's service commenced. An up-to-date seniority list shall be sent to the Union and posted on all bulletin boards in January of each year.
Super Seniority For purposes of layoff and recall only, the President shall head the seniority list, provided however, that such officer must have the necessary skill and experience to perform the required work. The Sheriff agrees that this section shall not be applied in an arbitrary manner.
Seniority Lists A copy of the seniority list will be posted by January 31st and July 31st of each calendar year on designated bulletin boards with a copy forwarded to the bargaining unit president. Included in the list shall be a breakdown of total hours paid for part-time employees. All lists will include date of hire. Any errors noted in the seniority list should be noted and the employer notified within thirty (30) days, after which the list shall be considered final.
SENIORITY AND LAYOFF The first twelve (12) months of continuous employment starting from the date of employment shall constitute a new employee’s probationary period. At the three (3) month point in the probationary period, the DPW Director (for the DPW employees) and the Town Administrator (for the Custodian employees) will meet with the employee for an evaluation in order to inform him/her of any problems with job performance and corrections that need to be made. If the DPW Director or the Town Administrator determines that within or at the end of the twelve (12) month period that the employee is not performing their duties, then said employee can be discharged from said position without recourse from the Union (not subject to the grievance procedure). An employee shall acquire seniority after completing the twelve (12) month probationary period and his/her seniority will revert to the beginning date of employment. During the twelve (12) month probationary period said employee shall be entitled to and receive all the benefits of the Collective Bargaining Agreement as practiced in the past. An employee's full time continuous service with the Town of Pembroke ("Town-wide" seniority) shall determine the employee's seniority for purposes of layoff and recall under this article. Overall seniority will be considered in cases of transfers. Overall seniority within each Division will be considered in preference in choice of vacation periods. In the event that the DPW Director needs to transfer employees from one Division to another, the transfer notification will be posted on the Union Board. The transfer will start with the least senior employee in the Division effected unless a senior employee in the Division requests the transfer in writing. If the Town finds it necessary to lay off employees, the procedures set forth in this article will apply. The employer shall meet with the Union to discuss any impending layoffs at least thirty (30) days prior to such layoff. A "layoff" is hereby defined as a complete termination of employment for economic or other legitimate non-disciplinary reasons. If a layoff is necessary, the Town shall layoff by job classification first, then by seniority, starting with the least senior employee. In all cases, seniority shall be measured by Town-wide service as defined above and not by departmental service. If it is the Highway, Tree, Cemetery budget that is affected by the layoff, the least senior employee will have the right to bump a lesser senior employee in the Water Division. If it is the Water budget that is affected, the least senior employee will have the right to bump a lesser senior employee in the Highway, Tree or Cemetery Division. In the case of the Custodian Classification, if a layoff is necessary, the Town shall layoff in the order of starting with the least senior employee within the Custodian classification. An employee in the Custodian classification will not be permitted to bump any employee within any of the other DPW Divisions. In the event of a layoff, the Custodians shall not be eligible to bump into any other division of the DPW, meaning the Water, Highway, or Cemetery/Tree Divisions. In rehiring in any job classification the Town will offer re-employment to these former employees who have been laid off in the inverse order in which said employees were laid off. There shall be no obligation to offer re-employment to any employee who has been laid off more than three (3) years. The offer of re-employment shall be sufficient if made by certified or registered mail addressed to the laid off employee at his last address of record, as shown by the records of the town. Any such laid off employee must respond and be available for re-employment within seventeen (17) days from the date of mailing of the offer; otherwise the laid off employee shall be deemed to have refused re-employment and the Town's obligation under this article is satisfied.
SENIORITY AND LAYOFFS 11.01 Seniority of employees shall be recognized within their respective trade and job classifications. New employees shall be placed on the seniority list at the end of their probationary period and their respective seniority shall be dated back to the date of beginning of employment.
11.02 Seniority lists, the accuracy of which has been agreed to on behalf of the Union in writing shall be maintained at all times by the Employer and shall be available to the Union for inspection to the extent reasonably necessary for the Union to ascertain the seniority status of an employee within its jurisdiction.
11.03 An employee shall lose his seniority and shall be deemed to have quit for any of the following reasons:
a. if the employee voluntarily quits his employment;
b. if the employee is discharged for a just cause and the discharge is not reversed through the grievance procedure;
c. for failure to report to work following a layoff pursuant to the terms of Article 11.07;
d. is absent from work for three (3) consecutive working days without notifying the Employer, unless a reason satisfactory to the Employer is given;
e. is absent due to layoff or long-term disability, or both, which absence continues for more than six (6) months, except in the event that the employee is on Workers' Compensation and in the event of sickness when the employee has submitted satisfactory evidence of illness, in which cases a period of two (2) years shall apply;
f. if the employee fails to report for work upon the termination of an authorized leave of absence, unless a reason satisfactory to the Employer is given, and is discharged as a result thereof, which discharge is not reversed through the grievance and arbitration procedure herein;
g. if an employee utilizes a leave of absence for purposes other than those for which the leave of absence was granted.
11.04 When a reduction of the workforce is inevitable, probationary employees shall be laid off first. If further reductions are necessary, the Employer shall determine the order of layoff in consultation with the union and in doing so, they shall be guided by the following considerations:
a. seniority standings of the employees;
b. ability of the employees to perform the work. It is understood and agreed that no employee will be laid off if there is a fellow employee (or employees) of comparable seniority who is still entitled to vacation. In such a case the latter may be required to take up any remaining vacation to which he is entitled before others will be laid off.
11.05 The Employer shall give one (1) week's notice to the employees of the need for a layoff.
11.06 Any appeal in regard to a layoff must be taken up under the first step of the grievance procedure hereinafter set forth within five (5) workdays after the layoff took place.
11.07 Any employee laid off and recalled for work must return within one (1) workday when unemployed and within seven (7) workdays when employed elsewhere after being recalled, or make definite arrangements with the Employer to return.
11.08 Employees who terminate their employment or are laid off and who are re-hired or return to work within eighteen
