17 <br />SLPOA MOU January 1, 2023 – June 30, 2028 <br />selection process by Departmental seniority. Departmental seniority will be based upon the date <br />hired without respect to any leaves of absence approved by the Police Chief or associated to time <br />off protected by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). <br /> <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 City <br />Manager will proceed with a possible reduction in the work force, and following receipt of <br />information concerning the specific positions involved, Human Resources will establish separate <br />Probationary and Permanent Seniority Lists for each classification targeted for layoff. <br /> <br />The names of all City employees holding permanent and probationary status appointments in a <br />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 amount <br />of total service shall be laid off first). All emergency, temporary, and provisional employees <br />working in classifications similar to those identified for layoff must be terminated prior to the layoff <br />of probationary or permanent status employees. Employees on the Probationary Status Seniority <br />List for a specific classification will be laid off prior to employees on the Permanent Status <br />Seniority List for that class. <br /> <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 <br />in which they hold permanent or probationary status targeted for layoff. <br /> <br />If two (2) or more employees on a Seniority List have identical Seniority Service Dates, the tie <br />shall be broken based on established Departmental procedures for awarding serial numbers in <br />such instances. <br /> <br />Before an employee with permanent or probationary status may be laid off from employment with <br />the City of San Leandro, consideration must be given to the employee's right to voluntarily demote <br />to a lower-level classification from which they were originally promoted or any subsequently <br />created intermediate level classification for which the employee possesses the basic minimum <br />qualifications. <br /> <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 <br />employee's current rank shall be based on a Rank Seniority Date which is derived from a <br />combination of all credited service in the rank to which the employee has voluntarily demoted and <br />all credited service in higher ranks held on a probationary or permanent status. <br /> <br />The demoting employee has a right to be retained in the highest pay step possible, which is equal <br />to or less than their present pay step. An employee involved in a layoff does not have a right of <br />mandatory placement to positions with a higher pay step, i.e. promotion. <br /> <br />Provisional employees shall be notified individually, in writing, of pending layoff as soon as <br />possible, with no less than fifteen (15) calendar days' notification if targeted for release or <br />reassignment. <br /> <br />Permanent and probationary status employees should be notified individually, in writing, of <br />pending layoffs as soon as possible, with no less than fifteen (15) calendar days' notification if
