Wash. Admin. Code § 357-46-035 - What option for placement in a position does a permanent employee have when the employee is scheduled for layoff?
(1) The employer will identify a position, if
available, within the layoff unit for a permanent employee who is scheduled for
layoff when the following criteria are met:
(a) The position is comparable to the
employee's current position as defined by the employer's layoff
procedure;
(b) For revised or
abolished job classes, the employer must identify the closest matching class in
accordance with WAC
357-46-037;
(c) The employee satisfies the competencies
and other position requirements; and
(d) The position is funded and vacant, or if
no vacant funded position is available, the position is occupied by the
employee with the lowest employment retention rating.
(2) The employer will consider positions in
the following order:
(a) The position is
allocated to the class in which the employee holds permanent status at the time
of the layoff. If no option to a position in the current class is available,
the employee's option is to a position in a class in which the employee has
held permanent status that has the same salary range maximum.
(b) If the employee does not have an option
to take a position that has the same salary range maximum, the employee must be
given an opportunity to take a position in a lower class in a class series in
which the employee has held permanent status, in descending salary order. The
employee does not have to have held permanent status in a lower class of the
series in order to be offered the option to take a position in the
class.
