Voluntary Resignation and Severance. Where there is mutual agreement to call for volunteers, the following will apply:
(a) Following the process outlined in Article 14.09(a) of the Agreement, should the Employer determine that there are still redundancies, the Employer shall ask for volunteers from the same position classification title and same office location who wish to resign and be offered a severance payment in accordance with this Memorandum. The call for voluntary resignation and severance may include further calls for voluntary resignation from a broader range of employees and position classification titles where an insufficient number of employees have volunteered. The Employer shall consult with the Union on the scope of such further calls for voluntary resignation under this provision.
(b) If there are more volunteers than redundancies, offers of severance shall be provided in accordance with seniority.
(c) The Employer reserves the right to restrict the severance offer as a result of operational considerations. For example, where too many volunteers within a position classification title are from a single work team or a single work location, it may not be possible to permit all to resign. Each severance offered to one employee must result in the placement of another employee whose position is redundant.
(d) Where positions become available as a result of this process, employees in redundant positions will be placed in accordance with Article 14.09(a), subject to consideration of ability, experience, qualifications, or where the Employer establishes that special skills or qualifications are required, according to objective tests and standards reflecting the functions of the job concerned.

At the discretion the Employer, the call for voluntary resignation and severance may include further calls for voluntary resignation from a broader range of employees and position classification titles where an insufficient number of employees have volunteered. The Employer shall consult with the Union on the scope of such further calls for voluntary resignation under this provision.
