Whenever there is a lack of work or money requiring reductions in the
number of employees in a department of the borough, the Manager shall accomplish
such reduction by the following procedure:
A.
Retirement age. Employees who have reached the normal
retirement age and years of service as provided by the appropriate borough
retirement plan shall be placed on retirement before any other reductions
are made within the affected department, provided that such action is not
contrary to law.
B.
Temporary; part-time employees. All temporary and part-time
employees of a department shall be laid off before any other employee. Temporary
and part-time employees shall be laid off in an order determined by the department
director to be in the borough's best interests.
C.
Probationary employees. If further reductions are required,
all probationary employees shall be laid off. Probationary employees shall
be laid off in an order determined by the department director to be in the
borough's best interest.
D.
Permanent employees. If further reductions are necessary,
permanent employees shall be laid off in accordance with their performance
evaluation. Those employees with low evaluation ratings shall be laid off
first.[1]
E.
Seniority. If two (2) employees share the same performance
evaluation rating, the least senior shall be laid off first.
Recalls from a layoff shall be accomplished by recalling employees in inverse order established by § 70-34D, except that no probationary employee shall be recalled until all permanent employees have returned to work, and no temporary or part-time employees shall be recalled until all probationary employees have returned to work.
Failure of an employee to return to work within five (5) working days
of notification of recall shall be considered to signify the resignation of
the employee.
