Voluntary Layoff Sample Clauses

Voluntary Layoff. An employee who is bumped or cut back shall have the right to take a voluntary layoff instead of exercising their bumping privileges, and shall be returned to the job code and shift from which the employee was laid off in accordance with their seniority as soon as an opening becomes available. When it is determined that a reduction in force is necessary, affected employees in the job code(s) and work group(s) who are performing the same work will be offered the option to take a voluntary layoff in seniority order. If enough volunteers are not obtained, then the option to take a voluntary layoff will be offered to other employees within the seniority unit, on the same shift, provided there are adequate qualified employees remaining to meet operational requirements without invoking the seniority provisions of this Agreement. Supervision may deny a voluntary layoff request based on skills needed to continue operations.
