20 Local 21/SLCEA Memorandum of Understanding January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024 Special Considerations  Layoffs will be conducted by classification in the following order: permanent part- time employees and then full-time employees.  A full-time employee whose position has been identified for elimination may, in lieu of layoff, bump another full-time employee with less seniority in that classification and then in previously held classifications. If no such position exists, the affected employee may bump a permanent part-time employee regardless of relative seniority within the same or previously-served classification.  Ties in seniority within the same classification shall be first broken by City-wide seniority and then by lot.  Notice of potential layoff shall be delivered personally to an affected employee or be sent by mail and confirmed through the “Certificate of Mailing” process.  Permanent part-time employees who become full-time employees, without a break in service, in the same classification will receive seniority credit for time served in such status on an hour-for-hour basis converted to yearly service credit upon their appointment to the full-time classification.  Permanent part-time employee seniority shall be calculated based on the total number of hours worked in the classification. The calculation of service credit for permanent part-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 the Union. 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. When, there are more employees in any class in the full-time competitive services than there are available positions, the employee with the least seniority in the class shall be laid off. 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 they have displacement rights, and to what position they are eligible to displace to; or, in the event of a vacancy, transferred to.
