-36 - <br /> <br /> No permanent employee will be laid off while a temporary, probationary, or limited <br />duration employee is retained to perform the same work in the same department. <br /> <br />25.5 Length of Service <br /> <br /> Length of service shall be full time service in the classification in either a regular or <br />probationary status at or above the level where layoff is to occur. When two or more <br />employees in a classification have the same length of service, seniority shall then be <br />determined by length of full time service with the City in a regular or probationary status, <br />then by length of part time service in a regular or probationary status in the classification <br />in which the layoff is taking place, and finally by length of part-time service with the City <br />in a regular or probationary status. <br /> <br />25.6 Bumping <br /> <br /> Employees scheduled to be laid off may bump the least senior employee in the next lower <br />paying classification of like work who has less seniority, or in any department in a lower <br />classification in which the employee once had regular status. In order to bump or retreat <br />to a former classification, employees must declare their intention to exercise this right in <br />writing prior to layoff, otherwise, this right shall automatically terminate. To bump <br />successfully, the employee must meet the minimum qualifications, be trained and capable <br />of performing all work of the lower classification. <br /> <br /> Employees returning to a former classification shall be placed at a salary step <br />commensurate with the employee's qualifications, education and experience. In no case <br />shall the salary be increased above that received by the employee in the class from which <br />the employee was laid off. <br /> <br />25.7 Promotional Opportunities, Transfers, Voluntary Demotions <br /> <br /> Regular Unit employees, who are subject to a City layoff, shall be eligible to apply for <br />open promotional opportunities, transfers, or voluntary demotions, while they remain <br />eligible on the reemployment list. <br /> <br />25.8 Re-employment Following Layoff <br /> <br /> The names of permanent employees laid off shall be placed on a re-employment list in <br />the order of total continuous accumulative time served in probationary and regular status <br />with the City or, if laid off at different times, in the reverse order in which they were laid <br />off. The names shall remain for a period of one year or until the laid off employee is re- <br />employed. A name on the list may be extended for a maximum of one additional year <br />upon the request of the laid off employee and the approval of the Appointing Authority. <br />Persons re-employed in a lower classification or on a temporary or part-time basis shall <br />remain on the reemployment list from which they were laid off until the expiration of the <br />list. The names of probationary employees shall be placed on said re-employment list <br />only if they were laid off in good standing. <br /> <br />Page 203 of 373
