Article 1
Summer Program
The provisions of the Master Agreement are supplemented as follows:
An employee may agree to voluntarily remain on layoff in the event of a recall by requesting such
action through a written waiver mutually agreed to and signed by the Appointing Authority and the
employee. Once the employee elects to sign the waiver of recall, such employee shall not be able
to exercise his/her seniority rights for recall for the duration of the summer program. The
Appointing Authority agrees to provide a signed copy of any waiver of recall to both the Local
Union and the employee. Any waiver of recall by an employee is not to be considered a refusal to
return to work and shall not be considered to be a break in continuous service.
This Section does not, in any way, constitute a forfeiture of the Appointing Authority's right to recall
laid off employees, wherever necessary, to carry out the functions and needs of the summer
school programs.
Any work which becomes available on an emergency or temporary basis shall first be offered to
current employees in lay-off status, in order of Classification Seniority (as defined in point #8 of this
Article) for Units #2 and #3 or State Seniority for Units #4 and #6 in the related classifications.
Notification of intent to return to work may be made in writing and hand delivered provided however
that a written receipt of such notification is given.
Article 12 of the Master Agreement (Vacancies and Filling of Positions) and Article 15 of the Master
Agreement (Layoff and Recall) shall be supplemented and/or modified as follows:
1. Summer Program: Twenty-five (25) days prior to the end of the academic year, the Appointing
Authority shall post lists of all positions including the class, the general description of the duties,
the shift and the normal hours of work, which will be available for summer program.
2. Employees then have five (5) working days to submit bids indicating all positions for which they
desire recall ranked in order of preference. Employees will also indicate if they desire to be
recalled to a class in which they previously served in the event they are unable to obtain a
position in their present classification.
3. On the fifth working day following the close of bidding, the Appointing Authority will notify
employees of the date which they will be laid off and the date of recall for the beginning of the
next academic year. Employees who have secured a summer program position shall receive
notification which includes the summer program position they have obtained, the duties of
summer program, and the date of recall for the beginning of the next academic year. Layoffs
shall be treated as seasonal layoffs unless the notice received by the employee indicates
otherwise.
4. Summer program bids will be awarded and vacant positions in the Human Services Technician
(HST), Special Education Program Assistant (SEPA), Residential Program Lead (RPL) or
Recreation Program Assistant (RPA) classification shall be filled by recall of laid off employees,
in State Seniority order, from the school where the vacancy exists, who are currently appointed
or have previously served in such classifications. An employee must accept recall to his/her
currently appointed class before accepting recall to a previously served in class.
