Chapter ER-MRS 22 - Layoff Procedure
Section ER-MRS 22.14 - Temporary layoff of employees

The director may approve exceptions to the procedures outlined in this chapter for temporary layoffs not to exceed 20 working days. Temporary layoffs may apply to some, or all of the employees in an employing unit. The appointing authority may recommend, subject to approval of the director, a plan for temporary layoffs, stating the reason for the temporary layoffs, the classes and number of employees affected in the employing unit, and the specific number of such days affected employees will be laid off. The plan shall be submitted to the director for approval prior to implementation. Consecutive temporary layoffs in the same employing unit may not be approved by the director for the same reason which caused the initial temporary layoff, unless a plan for permanent layoff has been submitted.
