Employees who are laid off may be eligible to "bump" into <br />a classification(s) in which they previously held <br />permanent status, provided that: 1) the classification <br />has the same or lower maximum salary than the position <br />they are being laid off from; and 2) they have more <br />seniority than the most junior person in the <br />classification to which they are bumping. For the <br />purpose of bumping, seniority shall be defined as the <br />total amount in the lower classification, added to the <br />time spent in the related higher classifications from <br />which they are being laid off. <br />Forty (40) days before the effective date of a layoff, <br />the appointing authority and/or designee shall notify the <br />Human Resources Director of the intended action with <br />reasons therefore, and a statement certifying whether or <br />not the services of the employee have been satisfactory. <br />A copy of such notice shall be given to the employee <br />affected at that time. If certified as having given <br />satisfactory service, the name of the employee laid off <br />shall be placed on the appropriate re-employment list. ' <br />Employees shall be given thirty (30) days notice before <br />the effective date of a lay off. <br />All laid off employees shall be placed on a re-employment <br />list for the class from which they were laid off or <br />demoted and shall be offered positions in reverse order <br />of lay off or demotion (i.e., the last person in the <br />affected class to be laid off shall be the first re -hired <br />when openings occur in that class or any other of same <br />pay for which the employee is qualified). If the <br />employee on the re-employment list refuses the initial <br />offer of re-employment, the employee's name shall be <br />placed at the end of the re-employment list. If the same <br />employee refuses proffered re-employment the second time, <br />the employee shall be removed from the list and shall no <br />longer be eligible for re-employment as a laid off <br />employee. <br />Employees on the re-employment list shall be offered <br />positions for which they qualify before new employees are <br />hired. <br />Re-employment lists shall remain in effect for a period <br />of twenty-four (24) months. <br />25 <br />
