Common use of Bumping Options Clause in Contracts

Bumping Options. All employees are to complete and submit to the seniority office a bumping option card directing the seniority administration group to: 1. Maintain their present shift as their seniority permits regardless of labor grade (see Option A on the bumping card). 2. Maintain their highest job code in accordance with their seniority rights regardless of shift (see Option B on the bumping option card). Employees may change their options as their circumstances change, however, the option in effect one (1) work day prior to the start of writing the cutback letter will govern movement on the reduction letter. If an employee does not have an option card on file, the employee will be bumped in accordance with Option B.
