Common use of LAYOFF AND DEMOTION PROCEDURES UPON REDUCTION IN FORCE Clause in Contracts

LAYOFF AND DEMOTION PROCEDURES UPON REDUCTION IN FORCE. ‌ The following Reduction in Force policy is hereby included as a part of this MOU. Such inclusion, however, shall not provide avenues of appeal beyond those contained in this Article. This Reduction in Force policy does not apply to employees who are covered by the Reduction in Force procedure defined in the California Administrative Code, Title 2. Division 5. Local Agency Personnel Standards. Section 1. Policy When necessary, and directed by the Board of Supervisors, a reduction in the County's work force may be initiated by (1) lack of work, (2) lack of funds, (3) program or organizational changes resulting in a surplus of employees, or (4) elimination of a specific program or service. Insofar as possible, a reduction in force shall be accomplished by attrition. When it is determined by the Board of Supervisors that attrition will not provide relief for the condition warranting a reduction in the number of County employees, the Board may direct (1) a temporary layoff of up to ten (10) working days of specific employees or classifications without invoking the provisions of this policy, or (2) a specific layoff by classification, number of employees and department(s) pursuant to this policy.
