XXXXXXXXX AND LAYOFFS. A. When the City determines, in its sole discretion, that a furlough is warranted because of budgetary reasons or service prioritizations, the City will consult with representatives of the FOP through the Labor/Management committee prior to determining the process by which the furlough will be implemented.
B. Situations may occur when the City determines, in its sole discretion, that a reduction or change in the work force is warranted because of lack of work, budgetary reasons, staff reduction, or reorganization which result in the dismissal of one or more employees. The following provisions apply to such terminations.
C. Layoffs will be decided on the basis of seniority within each of the following career lines: Sworn officers, Community Service Officers, and Dispatch employees. The least senior, based on seniority and regardless of rank, in a career line will be laid off until the target reduction, as set by management, is met.
D. Employees whose positions are eliminated or who are notified that they will be terminated may apply for any open positions within the City, either before or after their separation from employment.
E. A random drawing will be used to identify which employees with identical seniority within a career line will be subject to the layoff.
F. Prior to any layoff, the City shall announce the intended positions to layoff, and any employee may choose to voluntarily leave or retire, if eligible, in order to reduce the number of employees to be laid off.
G. Recall from layoff shall be in reverse order of layoff with the last employee displaced within a career line to be the first employee recalled to work within the applicable career line of Sworn officers, Community Service Officers, and Dispatch. Eligibility for recall expires one (1) year from the date of the layoff. Notice of recall shall be by certified mail sent to the employee’s address on file in the Human Resources Department. The employee shall have 10 days to report back to work unless a reason, satisfactory to the City, is given during that 10-day period. An employee who fails to respond to the recall or who declines the recall will no longer be eligible for recall. In order to be eligible for re-employment, the recalled employee must continue to be minimally qualified for the position that he or she vacated.
