Section 20. Resignation, Reinstatement and Layoff 20.1 Automatic Resignation % Failure to return at the expiration of a leave of absence or being absent without leave shall be considered an automatic resignation. Such a resignation may be rescinded by the City Manager if the employee submits satisfactory reasons for his/her absence within three days of the date his/her resignation was effected. 20.2 Voluntary Resignation An employee may resign in good standing by submitting to the Personnel Officer a written resignation stating the reasons therefor and effective date thereof at least two (2) weeks prior thereto. A statement as to the resigned employee's performance shall be forwarded to the Personnel Officer by the department head. 20.3 Reinstatement With the approval of the Personnel Officer, a permanent or probationary employee who has resigned in good standing may be reinstated within two (2) years of the effective date of resignation, to a vacant position in the same or comparable class. Upon reinstatement, the employee, for all purposes, shall be considered as though he/she had received a new appointment. 20.4 Layoff The appointing Authority may layoff an employee in the competitive service because of material changes in duties, organization or shortage of work or funds. The employee in the classification in which the Appointing Authority is laying off who has the least length of total continuous service in the classification shall be laid off first. Should additional layoffs become necessary the seniority of employees having previously changed classifications through displacement shall include their years of service in higher sworn paying classifications. The employee shall be notified of his/her layoff in writing together with the reasons therefor. Employees scheduled to be laid off may, however, displace the least senior employee in the next lower paying classification of like work who has less seniority. Memorandum of Understanding Page 21
