Common use of LAYOFF AND RECALL FROM LAYOFF Clause in Contracts

LAYOFF AND RECALL FROM LAYOFF. 31.01 In the event of a reduction of the work force, the last person hired shall be the first laid off; provided the employee with the greater amount of seniority can satisfactorily perform the job s/he is assigned to, or can learn the job within twenty (20) working days; provided immediate qualification (i.e. grain buyers, journeyperson, power engineers) is not required to perform the job. 31.02 In the event of an increase in the workforce, the last person laid off shall be the first hired; provided the employee with the greater amount of seniority can satisfactorily perform the job s/he is assigned to, or can learn the job within twenty (20) calendar days; provided immediate qualification (i.e. grain buyers, journeyperson, power engineers) is not required to perform the job. 31.03 However, seniority shall not apply to layoffs and recalls of three (3) days' duration or less. 31.04 Employees other than permanent full-time shall be the first laid off in the event of a layoff occurring at the plant. 31.05 Layoff notice of two (2) weeks shall be given for layoffs greater than one (1) week in length. 31.06 Because of the nature of the work performed by permanent part-time relief operators, it is understood that they may be posted to operator vacancies or general labour work, or have no work available for them, all with little or no notice and the layoff notice requirements as detailed in Article 31.05 Notice of Layoff, will not apply to permanent part-time relief operators when there is no relief operator work or general labour work available. The Company does, however, agree to provide as much notice as possible in the scheduling of work assignments and when work will not be available. The above also applies to casual employees hired as general labour. 31.07 In no event will an employee be provided with less notice of layoff than that required by legislation in the Province of Manitoba.
