concern regarding layoff units.

The 1972 “Layoff Unit Agreement” between the State and CSEA shall

be extended for the term of the Agreement and may be modified as agreed
to by the Committee.

Disputes concerning the application, interpretation or implementation of
the 1972 “Layoff Unit Agreement” shall be resolved under Article 34,

Grievance and Arbitration.

Article 20
Layoffs in Non-Competitive and Labor Classes

§20.1 Permanent non-competitive and labor class employees in this
negotiating unit if laid off will be laid off within title on the basis of

seniority; provided, however, that such employees shall not gain greater
rights than they would have if they were covered by the provisions of

Sections 80 and 81 of the Civil Service Law, and provided, further,
however, that this provision does not extend to these employees coverage

under Civil Service Law, Section 75 or Article 33 of the Agreements with
CSEA.

§20.2 Where under current layoff law and procedures permanent
employees are to be laid off within a given layoff unit and there are

provisional or temporary employees in the same title in another layoff unit
not projected for layoff, such provisional or temporary employees will be

displaced in order to provide continued employment for those affected
permanent employees. The State will manage centrally the placement of

the affected permanent employees.

§20.3 Permanent non-competitive class employees with one year of
continuous non-competitive service immediately prior to layoff shall be
accorded the same rights at layoff as well as placement roster, preferred list

and reemployment roster rights, as employees covered by State Civil

Service Law Sections 75.1(c), 80-a, 81, 81-a and 81-b. Labor class
employees who meet these criteria in the labor class shall be accorded the

same rights.
