Common use of Volunteers For Layoff Clause in Contracts

Volunteers For Layoff. If an employee who is not on the layoff list volunteers to be laid off, it may be possible for a person on the layoff list to “swap” with the volunteer. The union and management will work together to identify possible swaps, to determine if a swap can be arranged, and to facilitate swaps as quickly as possible. Whether a swap is approved depends on several considerations, including, but not limited to, operational needs and qualifications of the employees. • We will endeavor to complete swaps within the notice period, however the notice period can be extended by mutual agreement of union and management. • If a swap is made, the volunteer will be eligible for the full severance package as though he/she had been on the layoff list. The volunteer may apply for other jobs at Marlborough Hospital as an internal candidate, but will not have the hiring preference or recall rights of a person originally on the layoff list.
