military service while an employee of the City. Time off as a result of disciplinary action will be <br />subtracted from the Rank Seniority Service Date. <br /> In computing both City and Rank Seniority, all time spent on paid leave of absence shall be <br />included and all time spent on unpaid leave of absence shall be excluded. Unpaid absences equal <br />to or greater than one full pay period will extend the Adjusted Service Date, which governs <br />vacation accrual advancement. The Adjusted Service Date referenced within this section shall <br />not apply in the determination of Departmental seniority within the Police Department when used for the purposes of vacation signup, shift signup, or any other bidding process that orders <br />the selection process by Departmental seniority. Departmental seniority will be based upon the <br />date hired without respect to any leaves of absence approved by the Chief of Police or associated <br />to time off protected by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). <br /> Whenever a layoff of one or more employees becomes necessary, as defined above, such layoffs <br />shall be made according to classification Seniority Lists. Upon receiving notification that the <br />City Manager will proceed with a possible reduction in the work force, and following receipt of <br />information concerning the specific positions involved, the Human Resources Department will <br />establish separate Probationary and Permanent Seniority Lists for each classification targeted for layoff. <br /> The names of all City employees holding permanent and probationary status appointments in a given classification will be listed on the appropriate list in descending order by City Seniority <br />Service Date in the entry level positions and by Rank Seniority Service Date in the promotional <br />position of Police Sergeant. Except as provided in retreat rights below, employees on all lists <br />shall be laid off on the basis of their Seniority Service Date, (i.e., employees with the least <br />amount of total service shall be laid off first). All emergency, temporary, and provisional employees working in classifications similar to those identified for layoff must be terminated <br />prior to the layoff of probationary or permanent status employees. Employees on the <br />Probationary Status Seniority List for a specific classification will be laid off prior to employees <br />on the Permanent Status Seniority List for that class. <br /> Probationary or permanent status employees temporarily acting out of classification or holding a <br />provisional appointment in another classification will only be listed on a Seniority List of the class in which they hold permanent or probationary status targeted for layoff. <br /> If two (2) or more employees on a Seniority List have identical Seniority Service Dates, the tie shall be broken based on established Departmental procedures for awarding serial numbers in <br />such instances. <br /> Before an employee with permanent or probationary status may be laid off from employment <br />with the City of San Leandro, consideration must be given to the employee's right to voluntarily <br />demote to a lower level classification from which he or she was originally promoted or any <br />subsequently created intermediate level classification for which the employee possesses the basic <br />minimum qualifications. <br /> In the process of retreating, the Rank Seniority Date List shall be utilized. Employees with the <br />least amount of Rank Seniority shall retreat first. Any voluntary demotion to a rank below the employee's current rank shall be based on a Rank Seniority Date which is derived from a
