<br /> 2 <br />Order of Layoff <br />It is recognized that reductions in force may not impact all departments or <br />divisions to the same extent. Therefore, it may be necessary to transfer <br />employees from one department or division to another. When all other factors <br />are equal, longevity shall be the determining criterion for layoffs of employees in <br />their respective classifications. Reductions in grade, i.e., demotions may be <br />made in conjunction with layoffs. Past performance and longevity shall be <br />considered in the event of a reduction in grade instead of a layoff. An employee <br />being demoted must be qualified for the position in which the employee will be <br />employed. No regular employee shall be laid off or reduced in grade while <br />another provisional appointment or probationary appointment or an appointment <br />to a temporary position exists in the same classification. <br /> <br />Notice of Layoff <br />The City Administrator shall give written notice of a layoff to a regular or <br />probationary employee at least 14 calendar days before the effective date of the <br />Layoff. A copy of the notice shall be provided to the Human Resource <br />Representative. <br /> <br />This policy only applies to regular part-time and full-time employees. Written <br />notice of layoff may be given to provisional or temporary employees at any time <br />prior to the effective date of layoff. <br /> <br />C. RESIGNATION <br /> <br />When an employee voluntarily resigns from employment with the City, he or she <br />must submit a written notice at least two weeks in advance. Advance notice will <br />assist the City in preparing to fill the position. <br /> <br />Procedures <br />The letter of resignation is submitted to the immediate Supervisor, and should <br />include the following: <br /> <br /> An indication that the resignation is voluntary. <br /> The reason for leaving <br /> The last day of actual work <br /> The employee’s signature <br /> Failure to Give Notice <br />If an employee fails to submit a letter of resignation two weeks prior to their <br />actual last day of work, it may result in loss of “good standing” and influence <br />future employment opportunities with the City. In addition, it may impact the <br />content of future reference reports on the individual. <br /> <br />If an employee quits, but refuses to submit a letter of resignation, the Supervisor <br />will need to complete a written report on the circumstances surrounding the <br />matter.
