In lieu of layoff, an employee may elect to work in a lower <br />classification, in which he or she has served, providing that a vacancy <br />exists and the classification is within the samejob family /career ladder. <br />In that event, the employee's length of service in the next lower <br />classification shall be added to his or her length of service in the <br />affected classification, and said combined seniority shall be used to <br />bump down into the next lower classification. This method of <br />combining seniority shall be applied to subsequent lower <br />classifications. <br />C. The reemployment list shall be valid for one year from the date of its <br />establishment. Reemployment shall be in reverse order of layoffs. The <br />Joint Labor Management Committee as outlined in Article Number XXI <br />shall determine Job Family /Career Ladder for purposes of layoff.

Such temporary <br />appointment shall be terminated upon the establishment of a new eligible <br />list for the classification or on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following <br />the initial day of such temporary appointment, whichever occurs first. <br />CONFIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION OF SANTA ANA (CASA)2* 44615 Page 63 <br />
