Exercise Bumping Rights Clause Samples
Exercise Bumping Rights. Employees who are affected by layoff shall be permitted to exercise their seniority standing to displace the employee with the least amount of bargaining unit seniority in their classification of equal contract hours per year for which they qualify if they meet the job qualifications/requirements of the current job description or demonstrate that they have the skills through the completion of a job qualification assessment conducted by the District, or, in the event there is no one with equal number of contract hours per year, to displace the employee with the least amount of seniority in their classification of lesser contract hours per year. Employees must meet the required qualifications of the current job description for the position into which they are eligible to bump. If there are no employees in their classification of equal or lesser contract hours per year, an employee who is affected by layoff shall be permitted to displace the employee with the least amount of seniority in a lower classification of equal contract hours per year, or, in the event there is no one with equal contract hours per year in a lesser classification, to displace the employee with the least amount of seniority in a lower classification with lesser contract hours per year. An employee who is displaced as a result of the above-described bumping rights shall have the right to displace the employee with the least bargaining unit seniority in a lower classification of equal contract hours per year, or, in the event there is no one with equal number of contract hours per year, to displace the least senior employee in a lower classification with lesser number of contract hours per year. In determining equal contract hours per year, differences of 200 hours or less per year will not be recognized (e.g. positions of 1625 and 1664 contract hours per year will be treated as equal for purposes of implementing the layoff provisions contained in this section). An employee who assumes a new position as a result of the above procedure assumes the wage schedule which applies to the new position.
