Section 12.0 Employee Defense and Indemnity In the event that all or part of a claim or judgment is for punitive or exemplary damages in any action otherwise governed by Section 825 of the Government Code and upon request of the employee against whom such claim or judgment is rendered, the City agrees to consider whether the findings set forth in Section 825(b) (1) through (3) maybe made. This provision in no way obligates the City to pay punitive or exemplary damages unless it in fact makes those findings. Section 13.0 Layoff 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. If, by reason of expiration of a leave of absence, reduction in personnel, demotion to the class, or other cause, there are more employees in any class in the full-time competitive service than there are available positions in that class, the employee last employed in the class shall be laid off; if such employee obtained such position by promotion, he/she shall be demoted to the lower class from which he/she was promoted rather than be laid off. Layoff or demotion shall be based upon the amount of seniority an employee has in the classification he/she is occupying (i.e., the employee with the least amount of seniority in the class shall be the first to be laid off or demoted, if job was obtained by promotion). Forty days before the effective date of a layoff, the appointing authority and/or designee shall notify the Human Resources Director of the intended action with reasons therefore, and a statement certifying whether or not the services of the employee have been satisfactory. 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. 7
