1. Recall process

Recall is the reinstatement of a laid off employee to active status within the period as defined in the provision on seniority. In the event of recall, the employee will retain the original service date and will receive FTE service credit for up to two (2) years for the period of layoff as specified in Full-time Equivalent Service Months, Article 2,D. Accrued sick leave will be reinstated when the employee returns to work. Copies of notices of recall shall be sent to the Association President.

To be eligible for recall from layoff, the employee must satisfy the following requirements:

i. Must be a regular employee.

ii. Must have been scheduled to work half-time or more.

iii. Must have completed the probationary period.

Employees with the greatest length of service will be recalled to vacant positions first, provided they are capable of performing the duties of the position within a ninety (90) day evaluation period. An employee who meets the minimum requirements for a vacant position and who is denied the ninety (90) day evaluation period shall receive written reasons why the employee was not selected for the evaluation period with a copy to the President of the Association. An employee who does not successfully complete the ninety day evaluation period shall be returned to layoff status.

2. Termination of Recall Rights

iii. Expiration of the recall eligibility period referred to in the provision on seniority.

Notice: An employee who elects to receive the Layoff Transition Adjustment will no longer be eligible for recall. An employee who may be eligible for University Retirement may elect the Layoff Transition and still be eligible for all benefits afforded a retiree.
