Voluntary Layoffs. The parties agree to allow voluntary layoffs in those situations where an ancillary staff member is willing to accept a layoff rather than exercising his/her seniority rights to a position. All voluntary layoffs shall be in accordance with the following: 1. The voluntary layoff shall be treated as if it was an involuntary layoff and the ancillary staff member shall be subject to recall pursuant to the provisions of this Article. 2. The voluntary layoff must be agreeable to the Board and the individual ancillary staff member. 3. The Board will make no claim that these voluntary layoffs are leaves of absence or that the ancillary staff member is not eligible for unemployment benefits as a result of accepting voluntary layoff.
