Should the employer recall a laid off employee and the employee fails to satisfactorily demonstrate the skills necessary, the knowledge and ability to employce fails to satisfactorily demonstrate the skills necessary, the knowledge and ability to satisfactorily perform the required job task within seven (7) days, said employee shall be placed on layoff status and the next less senior employee on layoff status shall be recalled. Again, this employee must also satisfactorily perform and demonstrate the skills necessary, knowledge and ability to perform the job task. Should the employee fail to do so, he shall be placed back on layoff status. An employee on layoff status will be given notice of his recall by U.S. Certified Mail, to the last known address of record. B. If an employee laid off as prescribed within the aforementioned section enters in the "active service" of the U.S. Armed Forces, such period of service shall nor be counted in the recall period. The recall period is twenty-four (24) months for such employees. The minimum requirements as a member of the Reserve does not constitute "active service" for the purpose of this section. C. The recalled employee shall within seven (7) calendar days following the date of receipt for the attempted date of delivery of such notice to appear in person and meet with the General Manager of the Transit Department or his designee. Failure on the part of the recalled employee to appear as reyuired shall result in a loss of any present and future right to recall. Employees on recall status shall retain the right to recall for a period of time equal to his seniority but in no event shall any employee retain recall rights beyond twenty-four (24) months following the da.te of layoff. It is the responsibility of the employee to inform the employer of his correct address. When an employee meets with the General Manager within the aforementioned time period and declines to return to work or fails to respond within the set time period, his name shall be removed from the recall list. D. The employer shall hand deliver a written layoff notice to the affected employee(s) on his regular shift fourteen (14) days prior to the effective date of the layoff. Employees who have completed their probationary period shall be permitted to bump the least senior full-time employee within the Transit Department, providing the employee with the greater seniority can satisfactorily demonstrate to the employer that he possesses the necessary skills along with the knowledge and ability to perform the required job task of the position he wishes to bump. Upon receipt of the layoff notice as described above, the affected employee (s) wishing to bump shall immediately request the employer to provide him a"bump form". The employee shall complete the form and return the same to the General Manager or his designee a minimum of seven (7) days following receipt of the layoff notice. The employer shall review the completed form and based on the employees work experience demonstrate that he can perform the task required of the bump position, the General Manager or his designee shall authorize and approve the bump. The employee shall be required to satisfactorily demonstrate that he can perform the job task within seven (7) days. Should the employee fail to satisfactorily perform the job task with the time limit set above, he shall be placed on layoff status effective at the end of the shift of the 7th day. Employees who are placed on layoff status under these conditions shall forfeit and not maintain further rights to bump. T'he employee shall, however, maintain recall rights as cited within Sectian 14.05 sub- section A and B. The least senior full- time employee who has received a layoff notice may be pernutted to bump the most senior part-time employee with the Transit Department providing all of the terms and conditions described within this Article have been met by the employee. Any employee (s) exercising the condition stated within this section shall have his full-time seniority frozen effective the date listed on the layoff notice and shall retain such full-time seniority for a period of time not to exceed that which is listed in Section 14.05 C of the Article for the purpose of recall to full-time status. Any further bumping by a fuli-time employee into a part-time position shall use a"bump back" procedure, i.e. the first full- time employee who bumped into the most senior part-time position shall be entitled to bump back to the second most senior part-time position should another former full-time employee subsequently bump back
