Reduction of the Work Force. Section 1. In the event conditions necessitate a reduction of bargaining unit employees, the following procedure will be used: 1) Voluntary separations will be accepted; 2) Seniority shall determine any further reductions. Seniority is defined as continuous employment in any position in the District. An employee may not bump into a higher paying job classification. Section 2. In the event reduction occurs, and subsequently the force is again enlarged, the last employee laid off will be the first one hired. The rehiring will be the reverse order of the reduction procedure. If any employee refuses an offer to re- employment up to two (2) years after being laid off, the employee will lose any rights to preferential re-employment.
