LAYOFF POLICY IBEW 1. Definition. EXHIBIT C A layof f is the involuntary separation or reduction of a regular employee to a position in a lower classification without fault of the employee. Layoff applies only to full- time and regular part-time positions. A layoff occurs only when a position is deleted from the authorized budget or when funds are withdrawn from a previously funded position. 2. Notification Whenever the Department Head believes that a layoff will be necessary, he/she shall submit a layoff plan to the City Manager for approval. The layoff plan shall include the anticipated number, and job title(s) of employees to be laid off and seniority list by classification of all affected employees. The affected employees and the Union shall be provided with a copy of the approved layof f plan at least two weeks prior to its effective date. 3. Order of Layoff (a) Layoffs shall be made on the basis of seniority determined by the employee's hire date of continuous service in a full-time or regular part-time position. In the event of a tie in total time of continuous service in a full-time or regular part-time position between two or more employees, the order of layoff shall be determined by employee number, the higher number being laid off first. (b) Before any reduction in the work force of full time or regular part-time employees occurs, all vacant budgeted positions within the classification would be eliminated. Then all temporary part-time, provisional, probationary, contract or other individuals without regular status in the affected classifications shall be terminated. (c) Probationary employees and employees in Acting Appointments, who have regular status in another classification, shall be returned to their former classification where they will be subject to layoff under provisions applicable to other employees in that classification.
