transfer or demote into the same vacant position as described herein, the worker with the highest seniority, as defined in Article 7.5.7,will have his/her request granted. 7.5.4 Bargaining unit workers requesting to exercise their right to bump into a classification as provided in Articles 7.5.1, 7.5.2 or 7.5.3, must make such request to the Personnel Officer in writing within seven (7) calendar days of their receipt of written notice of layoff. Failure to comply with the deadline provided herein shall be deemed a waiver of the bumping rights provided in this Article 7. 7.5.5 When a senior worker chooses to bump into a position in a lateral or lower related classification, said worker must accept the salary, hours and working conditions of the position. If the worker's salary prior to bumping is within the salary range of the lateral or lower related classification into which the worker is bumping, the worker will retain the salary held prior to bumping, even if that places the worker's salary between steps in the new salary range. If the worker's salary prior to bumping is above the top of the range of the lateral or lower related classification, the worker's salary will be placed at the top of the salary range of the lateral or lower related classification. Workers who accept a voluntary transfer or demotion as described in Article 7.5.3 shall serve a probationary period of no more than twelve(12) months. 7.5.6 If a worker held regular status in more than one classification, he/she shall have the right to bump first into the highest classification in which regular status was previously held. Highest classification shall be defined as the classification with the highest top step in the salary plan in effect at the time of layoff. 7.5.7 Seniority for the purpose of exercising the bumping rights provided in this Article is defined as the total cumulative number of years of probationary and regular service with the City of Redwood City beginning with the worker's first date of employment with the City. 7.5.8 The Human Resources Department shall maintain an updated seniority roster indicating worker's class seniority, and City seniority. Such roster shall be available to the Union upon request. 7.5.9 Workers may elect to be laid off in lieu of bumping. Accepting such a layoff does not affect the worker's reemployment rights under this Agreement. 7.5.10 At the time of a layoff, workers who were previously members of the Bargaining Unit (e.g., who subsequently promoted out of the unit) shall have all the rights described in Article 7, except for those of section 7.5.2. Such former unit members can only exercise the rights of section 7.5.3 after all workers who are current unit members at the time of a layoff have exercised all rights in this Article 7 and a vacancy still exists for which a former unit member qualifies(as required in 7.5.3). For such former unit member(s), the provisions of section 7.6.1 shall only apply to offers of reemployment to positions previously occupied by such former unit member(s). This restriction shall only apply for the term of the reemployment list generated by the layoff that caused such former unit member(s)to return to the_bargaining unit. 7.5.11 A part-time regular worker may only bump into a part-time position in a lateral or lower related classification in accordance with the provisions of this Article. 7.5.12 A full-time regular worker may bump into a full-time or part-time position in a lateral or lower related classification in accordance with the provisions of this Article. 9
