Where The Employer Determines. (a) Where on the job training of 150 hours, in addition to the usual orientation period or less would be unavoidable in order to fill a existing Regular vacancy by any displaced Nurse(s) and any junior Nurse(s) who may potentially be displaced due to the Displacement Procedure in Article 11.10, such on the job training of 150 hours or less shall be first offered to the most Senior displaced Nurse.
(b) Where a lay off is unavoidable, the Employer shall invite expressions of interest for voluntary lay off. The Employer shall determine the services, sites and number of opportunities to voluntarily lay off. The Employer shall consider the expressions of interest for voluntary lay off, beginning with the most Senior Nurse. The Employer shall only approve such requests where it is operationally reasonable and practical and where lay offs are unavoidable. Where there are fewer indicated expressions of interest than number of lay offs required, after the indicated expressions of interest have been considered, the remaining layoffs shall be to the displaced Nurses with the least Seniority.
