(2) Time spent on leave of absence without pay of ten (10) or less consecutive workdays shall not affect the step increase eligibility date. For such leaves in excess of ten (10) consecutive working days, all leave time shall not count toward step increases. (3) An employee who has completed the required probationary period in their current classification and who is at a salary step lower than top step may be advanced to any higher step in the salary range for that classification at any time.

Effective Date of Salary Step Increase Upon Extension of Probationary Period
(1) If the probationary period is extended due to light duty, sick leave, or injury-on-duty time, the salary step increase will be delayed for the period of the extension. However, the probationary period shall only be extended if the time exceeds thirty (30) consecutive calendar days.
(2) For an employee in a classification with a six (6) month probationary period who successfully completes the extended probationary period, the period of the extension shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the salary step increase. For example, an employee is appointed on January 4, 1986, and works in the regular assignment until April 11, 1986. On April 12, 1986, the employee is on injury-on-duty time until July 4, 1986 , and returns to the regular assignment on July 5, 1986. The employee successfully comp letes the probationary period on September 26, 1986. The effective date on the salary step increase is July 5, 1986, because the period April 12, 1986, to July 4, 1986, is included in determining the salary step eligibility date.

(4) When the probationary period is extended for an employee in a classification with a twelve (12) month probationary period who has successfully completed more than twenty -six (26) weeks of service and who succe ssfully completes the extended probationary period, the period of the extension shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the next salary step increase. The effective date of
10 the salary step increase is determined in accordance with the example given above, except fifty -two (52) weeks is required rather than twenty-six (26) weeks.
(5) If a probationary period is extended due to an unpaid leave of absence, the period of such extension is excluded in determining the eligibility date for a salary step increase.
7.3 EFFECT OF CLASSIFICATION CHANGE ON RATE OF COMPENSATION a. Movement to a Higher Classification
When an employee moves from one classification to another which has a higher salary, through examination, appointment to an exempt position, temporary appointment in the absence of an eligible list, or reallocation, the employee shall receive an increase a t least equal to a full in -grade salary step (5%) or Step 1, as applicable, of the higher classification, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the maximum rate of the higher classification. b.

When an employee moves to another position in the same classification or to another classification with the same salary range, the employee shall maintain the same salary and same anniversary date.
c. Movement to a Lower Classification
When an employee's position is reallocated to a classification with a lower salary range, the employee shall suffer no reduction in salary, and the Y - rate provisions of this Agreement shall apply. The salary of an employee who voluntari ly demotes shall be that salary step nearest but does not exceed such salary paid in the previous classification.
7.4 EFFECT OF CHANGE OF SALARY RANGE UPON COMPENSATION
Whenever the salary range of a classification is adjusted upward, the salary rate of each employee in the classification shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which corresponds to the step received in the former range, and the employee shall retain the current anniversary date for further increases within the new range.
7.5 RATE OF COMPENSATION UPON RETURN TO CITY SERVICE
a. An employee recalled after layoff, reinstated after a leave of absence, or reemployed in the same classification after resignation shall return to the same salary step paid and shall be credited with the duration of time spent
11 in their salary step paid at the time of departure. The period of time separated from City service shall not be included in the calculation of the anniversary date for future in-grade salary adjustments. b. If the employee is reemployed after resignation to a classification lower than that in which last employed, the employee may receive any step, but not to exceed the salary of the classification in which last employed. If that step is other than the maximum step of the salary range, the anniversa ry date for subsequent in-grade adjustments shall be twelve (12) months from the date of reemployment and each year thereafter until the maximum step of the salary range is reached.
7.6 RATES HIGHER THAN TOP STEP (Y-RATE)
Whenever the salary of an employee exceeds top step of the salary range established for a classification, such salary shall be designated as a "Y -rate." During such time as an employee's salary remains above the top step, the employee shall not receive further salary increases, except that upon promotion to a higher classification, the employee shall immediately advance to the step of the range of the higher classification next above the "Y -rate", and be eligible for advancement to succeeding steps in the range as outlined in this Agreement . In the event an employee is "Y -rated" below top step, as applicable, the employee shall be permitted to advance to the maximum step of the original range.
7.7 SALARY CONTINUATION FOR ABSENCES OF LESS THAN ONE WORK DAY A salaried employee exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act who works for only a portion of the day shall not have their salary reduced that day due to insufficient accrued, usable leave. This provision will apply only to Traffic Supervisors.

38 ARTICLE 14 – LAYOFF
14.1 PURPOSE
This Article provides the procedure to be followed when an employee is to be displaced/laid off from their position.
14.2 DEFINITIONS
a. Layoff
A layoff shall be defined as the dismissal or displacement of at least one employee due to lack of work, lack of funds, abolishment of position, or for other reasons not reflecting discredit on an employee.
b. Seniority
(1) Classification Seniority: Classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the employee's present job classification including any time spent in a higher job classification, but less any time spent in a lower job classification due to a downgrade. The term higher classification shall mean a job classification in which the top rate of pay is greater than the top rate of pay of the employee's present job classification. For any employee who has not served a probat ionary period in their present job classification, or any employee whose position has been reallocated in accord with applicable Civil Service Rules, classification seniority shall be mutually established by the City and the Union. For those classifications which have flexible staffing as defined in the Civil Service Rules and provided for in the classification specifications, classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the lowest classification in the classification series.
(2) City Service Seniority: City service seniority shall be defined as the effective date of appointment to the employee's first permanent career position , or as the effective date of appointment to the employee’s first full -time position (o r positions) which immediately preceded an appointment to a permanent career position, whichever is greater.
For a part-time career employee, City seniority shall be prorated. (3) Hire Date Seniority : Hire date seniority shall be defined as the employee's first date of hire to any position with the City.
39 (4) Seniority Adjustments : Classification seniority and City service seniority shall be adjusted (reduced) in calendar days to reflect time spent on layoff from City service.
(5) Termination of Seniority : Termination o f classification seniority and City service seniority shall occur upon:
(a) Resignation, except that any employee who is reemployed and completes a probationary period, if any, in the position to which the employee was reemployed may count the seniority which was accumulated prior to resignation.
(b) Discharge.
(c) Retirement.
(d) Layoff in excess of two (2) consecutive years out of the City service.
(e) Failure to comply, report, or respond to a recall notice within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of postmark on the recall notice.
c. Downgrade
A downgrade shall be defined as a change in job classification to which the top rate of pay is the same or less than the top rate of pay of the employee's present classification, due to a layoff. A downgrade shall only be allowed to the appropriate classification within the employee's regression ladder, except as provided in Section 14.3(c) of this Article.
d. Regression Ladder
A regression ladder shall be defined as a classification series through which an employee may downgrade. The regression ladder for the Traffic Engineering Unit is as set forth below:
Traffic Supervisor
Traffic Worker III
Traffic Worker II
Traffic Worker I
Traffic Worker Trainee
40 e. Permanent Status
For the purposes of this layoff procedure permanent status is attained in a job classification when an employee has successfully completed their probationary period in that job classification.
14.3 PROCEDURE
a. Within each job classification in each department in which a layoff occu rs, employees shall be laid off in the following order: first, all provisional employees; second, all probationary employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority; and, third, permanent employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority. b. Any provisional or probationary employee who is affected by a layoff or displaced by a downgrading employee shall return to the last Departme nt and job classification in which the employee holds permanent status, if any.
If the employee does not hold permanent status in another job classification, the employee shall be laid off; the name of such employee may be restored to an eligible list in accordance with applicable Civil Service Board Rules. If the employee does hold permanent status in another job classification, the employee shall then be treated as a permanent employee in that job classification with respect to any layoff in that job classification. c. Any permanent employee who is to be laid off or displaced shall have the right to downgrade in descending order, to job classifications within their regression ladder, provided that: (a) the employee meets all of the qualifications of the lower classification, and (b) can displace an employee in the lower classification. If there are any provisional employees in such lower classification, the provisional employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced first. If there are no provisional employees in the lower classification, the probationary employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced. If there are neither provisional nor probationary employees in the lower classification, the permanent employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced, provided that the downgrading employee has greater City service seniority. If the permanent employee is unable to downgrade to any job classification within the appropriate regression ladder, the employee shall be laid off. d. An employee may accept a layoff in lieu of the opportunity to downgrade by written notification to the Labor Relations within five (5) working days of receiving notice of layoff. Where the employee accepts a layoff in lieu of a downgrade, said employee shall forfeit all recall rights except to a vacancy within the same classification from which the employee was laid off.
41 e. If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of classification seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on th e basis of greater City service seniority. If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of City service seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater hire date seniority, or by lowest random number in the event of a tie.
f. The application of this procedure is not intended to extend job assignment, work organization, or departmental preference to any employee affected by a layoff.
14.4 NOTICE OF LAYOFF
In the event of layoff, the City shall send by certified mail a layoff notice to all affected employee(s). Such notice shall be postmarked at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the effective date of layoff. Such layoff notice shall be mailed to the employee's address in the City’s payroll system , and shall be deemed appropriate notice. The employee(s) who is on a paid or unpaid leave shall be affected by the layoff in accordance with the provisions of this Article in the same manner as all other employees.
14.5 SALARY IN EVENT OF DOWNGRADE
a. An employee who is downgraded through a regression ladder pursuant to this Article shall be paid in the new classification the salary range step closest to the monthly pay received immediately prior to downgrade providing there is no increase in pay.
b. If appointed in the lower classification at other than top step, future salary step adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 7.2 "Advancement in Rate of Compensation" with time served in the classification from which the downgrade occurred counting toward salary step advancement.
c. Upon subsequent recall through a regression ladder the employee shall not receive in the next higher classification less than that received in the lower classification, provided ho wever, that upon subsequent placement in the classification from which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step previously held. If, however, said salary step is less than that received in the classification to which t he employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step immediately higher. The anniversary date for future in -grade salary adjustments shall be the date of recall to the permanent classification.
42 d. Salary as referred to in this Article shall be the monthly salary range and respective salary step for the affected classification as identified in the salary schedule.
14.6 FRINGE BENEFITS
a. Upon layoff, employees shall be paid for accrued leave balances and similar benefits, as applicable. Employees being recalled shall have the uncompensated portion of their sick leave balance restored . H owever, if eligible, only those sick leave hours accrued after recall shall be applied to sick leave payoff.
b. Employees laid off who are enrolled in City insurance programs may continue elected coverage limited to the City's medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for a period up to six (6) months or the period of time permitted by Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), whichever is greater, by advanced personal remittance for each month's total premium for the cost of such coverage, at the time of layoff. c. Assistance with this insuran ce option, unemployment benefits, and the availability of retirement benefits or refunds as governed by the City Charter will be provided by the Benefits Division, Department of Human Resources, at the request of laid-off employees.
14.7 RECALL
a. When a vaca ncy occurs in a job classification, the laid -off or downgraded employee(s) eligible to return to that job classification shall be recalled in the inverse order of layoff from that job classification. When a recall list exists, and an employee is on a reinstatement list due to a medical leave of absence, such employee will be merged with employees on the established layoff eligibility list based on seniority. Permanent employees who were laid off or downgraded are eligible to return to the job classification in which permanent status is held within their regression ladder, or to lower classifications within the same regression ladder, but shall have no recall rights to any job classification in which provisional status was held at the time of layoff or downgrade. Permanent employees who held probationary status in another job classification on the date of layoff shall be eligible to return to the job classification in which probationary status was held for a period of one (1) year from the date of layoff; but upon such return must serve the complete probationary period for such job classification. b. Employees shall be entitled to recall rights for a period of two (2) consecutive years from the effective date of layoff or downgrade. The effective date of layoff sh all be the employee's last day of work. The effective date of downgrade shall be the employee's last day of work in the
43 classification from which the employee is downgraded. An employee who has downgraded and has not been recalled to the classification whe re permanent status is held within the two (2) year period shall gain permanent status for purposes of layoff in the classification to which the employee downgraded, or is currently working at the time recall rights are lost, whichever is higher in the regression ladder.
c. When a vacancy exists, and employees are to be recalled, notice of the opening(s) shall be sent to the mailing address as shown in the City’s payroll system. To expedite recall, more than one employee may be notified of an opening. This recall notice shall be by certified mail and the employee shall have fourteen (14) calendar days to report to work from the date of postmark on the recall notice. If said employee fails to report to work within fourteen (14) calendar days the employee will lose all recall rights. An employee who has been laid off or downgraded shall be required to meet the physical and other minimum qualifications of the classification to which the employee is recalled. Any additional qualifications established during said emp loyee's layoff shall be waived with regard to an employee holding recall rights to that job classification except as required by law. An employee who accepts recall shall receive all seniority to which the employee is entitled under this Article.
14.8 GENERAL
The City or the Union shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to initiate discussions between the parties as to possible alternatives to layoff. The City, however, retains the right to proceed with layoffs according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement at any time including, but not limited to that time, if any, during which an impasse on layoff alternatives is being resolved.

15.3 WITHDRAWAL OF APPEAL
The employee or union may withdraw an appeal of discipline at any time prior to a decision by an Administrative Law Judge (hereafter “ALJ”) or the Civil Service Board. An appeal shall be deemed wit hdrawn if the employee fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request by the City to select an ALJ, schedule a hearing, or otherwise participate in the appeal process. The written request shall be certified and sent to the employee’s mailing address as shown in the City’s payroll system.

CETA employees shall be laid off in the manner provided by applicable federal regulations. Non-career employees shall have no right to downgrade.
b. Career Employees
(1) Within each job classification in each department in wh ich a layoff occurs, employees shall be laid off in the following order: first, all provisional employees; second, all probationary employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority; and, third, permanent employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority.
(2) Any provisional or probationary employee who is affected by a layoff or displaced by a downgrading employee shall return to the last department and job classification in which the employee holds permanent status, if any. If the employee does not hold permanent status in another job classification, they shall be laid off.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article those City employees who have at least ten (10) years of continuous City service s eniority and who are unable to downgrade within their current regression ladder shall have the right to return to their last classification in which they held permanent status, if they meet the qualifications of that classification, and shall have the righ t to downgrade through that regression ladder pursuant to Section
15.3(b)(3).

Where the employee accepts a layoff in lieu of a downgrade, said employee shall forfeit all recall rights except to a vacancy within the same classification from which the employee was laid off.
(6) If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of classification seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater City service seniority. If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of City service seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater hire date seniority, then by random number, if necessary.
(7) The application of this procedure is not intended to extend job assignment, work organization, or departmental preference to any employee affected by a layoff.

c. Upon subsequent recall through a regression ladder the employee shall not receive the next higher classification less than that rece ived in the lower classification, provided however, that upon subsequent placement in the classification from which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step previously held. If, however, said salary step is less than t hat received in the classification to which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step immediately higher in the permanent classification.
