3. Information to the Union: The University shall continue the practice of providing the Union with a copy of each layoff notice sent to supervisors. The notice shall be provided to the Union within 24 business hours of service of the notice to the individual supervisor. In the event that five or more supervisors are laid off within a pay period on campus, the University shall, upon notification to the Union of the names and job titles of the supervisor affected by the layoff, provide the Union with an up to date seniority list of the affected departments and job titles.
4. Continuity of Services: The University agrees to consider patient transition issues in determining how much actual notice is given to Mental Health and Social Work professionals of layoff, consistent with Section 3 above.
Laid off staff members, in the order of the effective date of the layoff, have first recall rights beginning with the title and job requirements of the position from which they are laid off, to positions with comparable or lower requirements within the same classification series.
All laid off staff members shall retain their rights of recall for one year from the date of layoff. Should a laid off staff member refuse a position when recalled, he/she shall be removed from the recall list. However, staff members shall be allowed to refuse a position if the salary of the position is greater than or equal to 10% less than the salary of their former position. Staff members will be recalled based on the effective date of the layoff. If more than one staff member in the same job title is laid off, effective the same date, University-wide seniority will be utilized to determine recall rights.
Upon recall, a staff member shall retain his/her original date of hire.
5.08 Seniority Lists:
The University will on each January 31st and July 31st submit to the Union a list containing the names of staff members of each particular unit or department in order of seniority according to date of hire, as of January 1st and July 1st. The dated list will reflect the relative seniority of staff members pursuant to Section 5.07. Any staff member may protest, in writing, his/her relative standing within thirty (30) calendar days of such submission to the Union.
