Article 23
Layoffs in Non-Competitive Class
23.1 Permanent non-competitive 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 Agreement with PEF.
23.2 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.
23.3 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 Civil Service Law Sections 75.1(c), 80-a, 81, 81-a and 81-b.
