Common use of LAY-OFF PROCEDURES Clause in Contracts

LAY-OFF PROCEDURES. In the event of a lay-off as defined in this Agreement, the Employer shall identify the position/classification to be eliminated or reduced, and advise the affected employee(s) of their options pursuant to this provision, and subsequently affected employees shall also be advised of options. Option 1: The affected employee can transfer into any position/classification held by an employee with less seniority provided they have the skill, ability, and competence to perform the necessary work. It is understood that any employee who chooses this option shall not be allowed to receive a promotion of going from part-time to full- time status. Option 2: The employee can accept lay-off subject to recall rights for a period of twenty-four (24) months as provided for in the Collective Agreement. As a result of the lay-off procedure, there shall be no loss in rate of pay where an employee moves into a position in the same band from which they were laid off. Where an employee moves into a higher rated position, they shall be placed on the grid scale for that position, that which is closest to but not less than their current rate and shall begin to move through the grid from the day of transfer. Where an employee transfers or is rehired following a lay-off to a lower rated position, the employee shall be red-circled and remain at their current rate or rate being paid at time of lay-off for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months at which time, they will revert to the proper wage band for the position they are transferring to after returning from layoff. Placement in the proper wage band shall be a position on the grid that produces the minimum reduction from the current rate or rate being paid at the time of layoff. Upon receipt of a notice of lay-off and advice of options, an employee shall be afforded five (5) working days in which to advise the Employer of their decision.
