Common use of Bumping and Displacement Clause in Contracts

Bumping and Displacement. Employees who have at least two (2) years of City seniority shall have the right to displace a less senior employee in a classification (job title) or bump into a previously held classification within the same or lower pay grade(s) or into previously held classifications. When titles are consolidated or eliminated, the parties will identify displacement or bumping rights for employees who previously held the title. Such identification will be congruent with the requirements of the paragraph below, if they are “qualified to perform the required work” as determined by the Employer. Said employee shall have the right to bump the employee of lesser City seniority who was last certified to progressively lower paid classifications previously held permanently (i.e., one in which the probationary period was satisfactorily completed) by the laid off employee and in which job performance was deemed by the Employer to be satisfactory. If the employee is unable to bump into the most recent classification previously held, their bumping rights shall continue until either the employee is placed in a previously held classification, or a determination has been made that there is no employee of lesser City seniority who was last certified to a previously held classification, and the employee shall be laid off. In all cases, however, the bumping employee must meet the current minimum qualifications of the claimed position and must be qualified to perform the required work. Employees shall be notified if the position they are being bumped into is represented by a different exclusive representative, or is unrepresented, before accepting the new position. If the position is represented, they will be told how their classification seniority will be treated under the union contract representing the position to which they are returning. Employees, whose job titles use secondary titles, may displace an employee with lesser City seniority who is at the same grade level, if they are qualified, as determined by the employer to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. The Employer shall consider past assignments as well as previously held titles in determining the qualifications of the employee.
