Recall is by seniority and rights cease one year from placement in leave without pay-layoff. If an employee declines recall to a position that requires relocation, regardless of the salary grade, the employee shall retain recall rights. If an employee declines recall to a position in the same salary grade from which laid off that does not require relocation, an employee on leave without pay-layoff shall forfeit rights for further severance payments and his or her name will be removed from the recall list. Health insurance and life insurance will continue until the end of the 12-month period. An employee who is recalled will return to the employee s pre-layoff salary grade and pay step provided it is not above pay step 20.
Participation is voluntary.
When the application is submitted to the agency Human Resources Office, the data will be entered into the data pool. Compensation shall be based on the starting pay provisions, DPT Policy 3.05. When placed on LWOP-Layoff, an employee may maintain the state s benefits for up to 12 months. However, if the employee resigns, or declines a recall to a former classification that does not involve relocation, benefits will cease. Employee benefits are discussed on the back of the DPT Form L-1.
