Any such reduction in personnel or reduction in FTE status of greater than .1FTE, shall be considered a reduction−in−force for purposes of this Agreement. An approved leave of absence does not prevent an employee from being subject to reduction−in−force. Prior to a reduction−in−force, the County will provide 30 days written notice to the employee(s) affected and to the bargaining representative. During such period the bargaining representative may offer proposals regarding alternatives to the reduction−in−force which will be duly considered by the County. If the affected employee(s) is an initial trial service employee(s), the above procedure will not apply and the County will be required to give the employee a minimum of one day advance notice. An employee affected by a reduction−in−force shall be transferred to a vacant position within the same classification with the same FTE allocation (if any); provided he/she meets the minimum skills, abilities and qualifications, and can perform the full range of duties of the position, with a brief orientation or familiarization period. In the event that no such position is available, the employee will be offered the options from the list below to the extent they are available within the bargaining unit, and will be given five (5) business days following notice to choose among available options:
