time employees" will be determined by the number of paid hours worked through the last pay period 30 days prior to the date of layoff. ^ Hours worked in a temporary employee capacity will not be counted for seniority purposes except where the employee converted from a temporary to permanent status in the same classification with no break in service. ^ Employees shall not be credited with time spent in non-paid status except for Voluntary Time Off, military leave, as otherwise prescribed by law, or as mutually agreed to by the parties. ^ Former Refuse Collector employees shall carry over seniority to lower-level classifications, but will not carry over seniority upon promotion to higher level maintenance classifications. ^ Seniority credit shall only be credited for time spent in a position represented by SLCEA, Local 21. Bumping to lower-level positions where the displaced employee held previous status shall only occur for service rendered within the bargaining unit. The appointing authority may lay -off an employee in the competitive service because of material change in duties or organization, or shortage of work or funds.

An employee whose position has been targeted for elimination and who holds seniority over other employees in that classification shall displace the most junior employee in that same classification. If a vacant position exists in the classification, the senior employee whose position is targeted for elimination shall be transferred to that vacant position. The senior employee shall receive written notification that he/she has displacement rights, and to what position he/she is eligible to displace to; or, in the event of a vacancy, transferred to.

For the purpose of bumping, seniority shall be defined as the total amount in the lower classification, added to the time spent in the related higher classifications from which they are being laid off.

A copy of such notice shall be given to the employee affected at that time. If certified as having given satisfactory service, the name of the employee laid off shall be placed on the appropriate re- employment list. Employees shall be given thirty (30) days notice before the effective date of a lay off. All laid off employees shall be placed on a re-employment list for the class from which they were laid off or demoted and shall be offered positions in reverse order of lay off or demotion (i.e., the last person in the affected class to be laid off shall be the first re-hired when openings occur in that class or any other of same pay for which the employee is qualified). If the employee on the re-employment list refuses the initial offer of re-employment, the employee's name shall be placed at the end of the re-employment list. If the same employee refuses 17
