Current through March 20, 2024

This Section specifies how laid off employees shall be either recalled or given re-employment opportunities for vacancies created following a layoff.

006.01 Recall to Previously Eliminated Position. Following a layoff, when a previously eliminated position is restored, the employee occupying the position at the time of reduction in force will have recall priority subject to Sections 006.02A through 006.02C of this Chapter. The recall salary will be based on the salary rate in effect at the time of layoff.

006.02 Recall to Vacancy in the Same Job Series. Following a layoff, when a vacancy is created in the same job series, employees who satisfy the required qualifications as determined by the Department will be recalled in reverse order of a layoff or transfer in lieu of layoff as follows:

006.02A At the time the vacancy occurs, the Department will notify the first five (5) qualified employees in line for recall of the vacancy.

006.02B Such employee(s) will then have ten (10) workdays following date of notification to accept or refuse the recall by providing written notice to the Department. The recall vacancy will be offered to the employee with the most seniority who provides written acceptance within ten (10) workdays.

006.02C Failure to Respond. Employees who fail to respond by either accepting or refusing the recall vacancy on two (2) successive notifications will forfeit further recall rights.

006.03 Re-employment Opportunities. In the event that a vacancy occurs as provided in Section 006.02 of this Chapter and there are no persons laid off or transferred in lieu of layoff who held a position in the job series at the time layoff began, the Department will notify all laid off employees of the vacancy and the qualifications required to hold the position. Such employees shall then have ten (10) calendar days following receipt of such notice to apply for said position. The Department has the right to hire the most qualified applicant.

006.04 The pay rate of an employee who occupies a position of a lower job classification as a result of recall from layoff or re-employment will be set in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 004 of this Title.

006.05 Financial Assistance for Relocating. In cases in which employees have received state financial assistance, per Chapter 15 - Section 016 of this Title, in geographically relocating to avoid layoff, there will be no requirement for such assistance if recalled to their previous position.
