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 proffered re-employment the second time, the employee shall be removed from the list and shall no longer be eligible for re-employment as a laid off employee. Employees on the re-employment list shall be offered positions for which they qualify before new employees are hired. Re-employment lists shall remain in effect for a period of twenty-four (24) months. All employees on the re-employment list shall be mailed notices of vacancies in the City for a period of twenty-four(24) months after their lay off. Upon request, the City will meet and confer with the Union should there be a significant increase in the use of volunteers in work areas in which regular employees have been laid off. Within sixty (60) days of determining that filled bargaining unit positions will be eliminated, the City shall give notice to the Union and meet and confer on any possible impact of the layoff. Issues to be discussed during the impact bargaining shall include identification of previously held positions for bumping purposes, alternatives to layoffs, severance, etc. Section 22. Resignation An employee wishing to leave the competitive service in good standing shall file with his/her supervisor at least two (2) weeks before leaving the service a written resignation stating the effective date of resignation and reasons for leaving. The resignation shall be forwarded to Human Resources with a statement by the department head as to the resigned employee's service performance and other pertinent information concerning the cause for resignation. Failure of an employee to comply with this rule shall be entered on the service record of the employee and may be cause for denying future employment by the City. The resignation of an employee who fails to give notice shall be reported to Human Resources immediately. Section 23. Safety The City shall conform to the applicable safety regulations provided by State law to insure the employees' reasonably safe working conditions. The Union agrees to encourage its employees to promptly report unsafe conditions and equipment.
