Common use of Notice of Recall from Layoff Clause in Contracts

Notice of Recall from Layoff. Notice of recall from layoff shall be given by return receipt requested mail. A notice will be delivered to the first three people on the reemployment list to determine their interest in returning to work. The person with the highest seniority expressing interest shall be appointed. The notice shall specify the date for reporting to work, which shall be within fourteen (14) days from the date the notice is received. Notice shall be deemed to have been received when sent to the last known address on file with the Agency, and attempted delivery or actual delivery is certified by the Postal Service. Upon receiving notice, the person on layoff shall have three (3) days to accept or decline the recall opportunity. An employee who fails to respond affirmatively in writing within three (3) days, refuses recall, or fails to report on the prescribed date waives all further right to recall and reinstatement as an employee. When recall is declined or waived, the Agency will proceed to the next person on the reinstatement list and follow the same notice and response procedure. This process will continue through the list until recall needs are met or until the list is exhausted. Reinstated persons shall receive the following upon return to service: 19.3.1 Retention of permanent full-time service credit accrued as of date of layoff; 19.3.2 The salary for the classification in effect as of the date of return, at the same step level as the date of layoff, not to exceed the top step; 19.3.3 The accrual rate of vacation and sick leave in effect for the employee’s service credit length and class at the time of rehire.
