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. Employees laid off or who through displacement have changed Classification shall have their names placed upon a re-employment list in seniority order. The employee with the highest seniority on a re-employment list for a particular classification when a vacancy exists in the classification shall be offered the appointment. No name shall be carried on a re-employment list for a period longer than (1) year from the date of layoff from City service or change of classification through displacement. Section 21. Discipline 21.1 Disciplinary Action The continued employment of every employee shall be predicated upon good behavior and rendering of efficient service. An employee is subject to disciplinary action and may be discharged, suspended, or demoted for cause, and such disciplinary action shall be subject to appeal as set forth in Section 22. Any employee discharged, suspended or demoted for cause shall be furnished the reason for his/her discharge, and the period of duration in writing. Employees suspended from the City service shall forfeit all rights, privileges and salary or other fringe benefits while on such suspension. Memorandum of Understanding Page 22
