Involuntary Separations<br />

<strong>University</strong> for one or more of the following reasons:<br />

• A layoff because of official reorganization or permanent or temporary<br />

reduction in the workforce approved by the President.<br />

• Employees who are subject to layoff are eligible to apply for vacant<br />

<strong>Marymount</strong> positions for which they are qualified, but the employee’s current<br />

salary is not guaranteed in a new position. The <strong>University</strong> makes no provision<br />

for seniority or other types of “bumping.”<br />

Termination of employment for reasons other than lack of work, include but<br />

are not limited to:<br />

• violation of the Code of Ethics<br />

• poor attendance<br />

• behavior incompatible with effective conduct of duty<br />

• behavior detrimental to the <strong>University</strong><br />

• incompetence<br />

• disloyalty to the <strong>University</strong><br />

• insubordination<br />

Discharged employees will be entitled to receive payment for accrued but unused<br />

annual leave as of the date of separation, contingent upon submission of all appropriate<br />

timesheets or annual leave reports. Discharged employees are not entitled to accrued but<br />

unused sick leave.<br />

Break in Service – Staff<br />

Any full-time staff member who resigned or was involuntarily terminated because of<br />

layoff and who was rehired within sixty (60) days shall not be considered to have had<br />

a break in service. Such employees shall be entitled to resumption of their Core and<br />

Optional benefit elections, if any, as if no break in service had occurred. Such employees<br />

will be subject to the customary ninety (90)-day probationary period in their new<br />

position.<br />
