Reduction and Layoff Clause Samples

The Reduction and Layoff clause outlines the procedures and conditions under which an employer may reduce the workforce or temporarily or permanently lay off employees. Typically, this clause specifies the circumstances that can trigger layoffs, such as economic downturns or organizational restructuring, and may detail the notice requirements, selection criteria, and any severance or recall rights for affected employees. Its core practical function is to provide a clear framework for both employers and employees to follow during workforce reductions, thereby minimizing disputes and ensuring compliance with legal and contractual obligations.
Reduction and Layoff. A. Before layoff the MISD board shall determine, following consultation with the Federation, the number of positions to be eliminated and shall so notify the Federation and employees sixty (60) calendar days prior to layoff. No paraprofessional shall be laid off pursuant to necessary reduction in personnel for any school year or portion thereof, unless they have been notified of said layoff at least sixty (60) calendar days before the effective date of said action. B. In the event of a reduction the employee whose position has been eliminated shall have three working days following notification to elect one of the following options: 1. To bump into an opening not limited to building/program, classification, division, or district subject to limitation in 3a or 3b; or to bump the lowest seniority employee in his/her building/program, or the lowest seniority employee in his/her classification district wide, or 2. To bump the lowest seniority employee in his/her division district wide, or 3. To bump the lowest seniority employee in the district. a. In the event the bump is from CI to SEI, or vice-versa: (1) The employee must be acceptable to the principal in charge based upon an interview. The principal's decision shall not be grievable. (2) The employee must also pass a thirty (30) day probationary period. Failure to pass the probationary period shall not be grievable. b. An employee who either does not pass an interview or who rejects the bump after an interview shall opt to: (1) Bump within classification (under A1 above) if possessed of sufficient seniority, or (2) Bump the next lowest seniority paraprofessional in the entire district. c. An employee who either does not pass the probationary period or who rejects the bump during the probationary period shall be laid off. (1) In the event the bump is into a designated category: a. The employee must pass a thirty (30) day probationary period. Failure to pass the probationary period shall not be grievable. b. An employee who does not pass the probationary period shall be laid off. C. The Employer may offer, after discussion with the Union, and an employee may accept (or an employee may request and the Employer may grant) assignment to an opening existing after recourse to the voluntary transfer procedure in lieu of bumping another employee and without impairing recall rights. D. All placements shall be effected on the date an employee is laid off or on the first day of school thereafter. E. When deciding whic...

Reduction and Layoff a. Class cancellation shall be made prior to the beginning of each semester. If a teacher loses a class, every attempt will be made to assign a new class. Class schedules will be adjusted so that teachers with the highest seniority retain their prior semester level of classes up to seven (7). The Board may cancel and/or consolidate classes after the semester begins for: lack of funds, termination or reduction in funding, low attendance, or other factors having an impact on the ▇▇▇▇ Adult High School program necessitating a reduction. Provided such cancellation is not arbitrary or capricious. b. Teaching hours reduced as a result of the above shall be removed from the teaching schedule of the teacher to whom the hours were initially assigned. Full or half-time teachers who have lost a class may be assigned as a permanent guest teacher for the amount of time equal to the number of hours lost, applying only to those classes that have started the semester, and for the duration of that semester only. Teachers who have had their hours reduced on or after the second class meeting will be given preference in the assignment of reinstated teaching hours during subsequent semester(s) until such time as the teacher has achieved his/her previous teaching load. All such reinstated hours will be assigned upon consideration of teacher certification, qualifications, seniority, and district instructional needs and the operational requirements of the adult education program. This preference for reinstatement of hours shall last for a period of three semesters from the date of reduction. The Board's decision in the assigning of any and all hours shall not be arbitrary or capricious. c. In the event of a layoff within the adult education program, the Board shall determine the subject areas or programs to be affected and notify the UTF of such determinations. Layoff occurs when a teacher's class assignments are reduced to zero. d. Probationary teachers will be laid-off before non-probationary teachers. The order of layoff of probationary teachers shall be determined by the Board. e. The order of layoff of non-probationary teachers in each affected subject area or program shall be determined by the Board by seniority with consideration given to teacher certification, teacher performance, and the operational needs of the adult education program. When such factors are considered to be equal, the length of uninterrupted service within the adult education program shall be the determ...

  • REDUCTION OF STAFF A. The term “seniority” in this Article shall mean length of service as a bus driver with the District. B.

Whenever possible, two (2) weeks written notice of layoff shall be given to each employee to be laid off under the provisions of this Article. Persons given such notice may not exercise the paid leave provisions of Article 15, except for sick leave when supported by a doctor’s statement, quarantine, mandatory court appearances or jury duty. This provision applies only to regular employees. C.
