laid off from employment with the City of San Leandro, consideration must be given to the employee's right to voluntarily demote to a lower level classification from which he or she was originally promoted or any subsequently created intermediate level classification for which the employee possesses the basic minimum qualifications. In the process of retreating, the Rank Seniority Date List shall be utilized. Employees with the 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 combination of all credited service in the rank to which the employee has voluntarily demoted and all credited service in higher ranks held on a probationary or permanent status. The demoting employee has a right to be retained in the highest pay step possible which is equal to or less than his or her present pay step. An employee involved in a layoff does not have a right of mandatory placement to positions with a higher pay step, i.e., promotion. Provisional employees shall be notified individually, in writing, of pending layoff as soon as possible, with no less than fifteen (15) calendar days' notification if targeted for release or reassignment. Permanent and probationary status employees should be notified individually, in writing, of pending layoffs as soon as possible, with no less than fifteen (15) calendar days' notification if targeted for release or demotion. Notice to an employee absent from work for any reason shall be sent by U.S. Mail - Return Receipt Requested. If an employee fails to accept a bona fide offer of demotion within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the offer, the employee forfeits further right to employment retention. Acceptance of a demotion does not remove the right of appeal under the appeal procedure described below. The names of all probationary and permanent employees released or demoted from positions in the competitive service as a result of layoff or demotion must be placed on Reemployment Lists for those classifications from which the employee was removed, as well as all other classifications to which they have demotion rights in accordance with employee retreat rights. The Reemployment List for employees who were laid off shall remain in effect for two (2) years from the date of the layoff. Said list shall remain in effect indefinitely for employees who were demoted. 18
