NAYS: None . ABSENT : None . APPROVID ~ ~~- , Donald .Edwards, Mayor. ATTEST: C , ancy Wh' es, City Clerk. 11.2.1 Recall A recall may come about as a result of one or more of the following conditions: A. Recall to a permanent position; or, B. Recall to fill a temporary vacancy iri a full time position. Recall is an approved practice for bringing personnel who are laid off or furloughed without pay by the City back on the payroll with immediate benefits, provided, however, that all of the requirements of Section 11.3.1 of this policy are first met by the recalled employee. However, employees laid off or furloughed without pay over six months shall not receive immediate insurance benefits; such employees shall be required to meet the same period of ineligi- bility for insurance benefits as is required of new employees. Recall to fill a temporary vacancy in a full time position is restricted by the nature and length of the vacancy to be filled; an employee's acceptance of a recall to fill such a temporary vacancy shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver by such accepting employee of his right to receive whatever written lay off/furlough notice may otherwise be provided by statute, ordinance or this policy. Such waiver shall not be interpreted to apply to any notice beyond the scope of the immediate position the employee was recalled to fill on a temporary basis. Employees laid off/furloughed from a given department shall be offered an opportunity to fill vacancies in such department. Tender of the recall offer by the City shall be made in order of overall seniority within such department. Tender of a recall offer is mandatory for employees laid off/furloughed from service in the affected department for less than one year (364 consecutive days or less). Tender of the recall offer to employees laid off/furloughed from the service of the affected department for one year (365 consecutive days) or more is permissive with the City and is not required. This section shall not be interpreted as requiring or authorizing inter- departmental transfers of laid off/furloughed employees. Non-permissive recall shall occur only within the department from which the employee was laid off/furlough- ed. In order to be recalled, a laid off/furloughed employee must be capable of performing the job function by reason or prior experience/training, without new or additional training by or on behalf of the City. In filling temporary vacancies time is of the essence. Accordingly, this section shall be interpreted with the City's time constraints in mind. 11.3.1 Physical Examination Prior to Recall Any employee recalled pursuant to Section 11.2.1 of this policy shall, before actually beginning work with the City, be examined by a physician or physicians of the City's choice and at the City's expense. The City must receive a written statement from such physician(s) certifying that the recalled employee is physically able to perform the work function required of the employee's assigned position prior to the employee's actually starting work. A qualified or negative certification by such physician(s) shall disqualify any such employee fran recall. In such a case the City shall then attempt to fill such vacancy by further recall, if applicable, or, if further recall in the affected department is not possible or reasonably practical, by any other means available to the City. Failure or refusal of a recalled employee to cooperate in the required physical examination shall constitute a rejection of the recall offer by such employee. For purposes of this section, and without limitation, missing an appointment for said physcial examination without a clearly documented, extra- ordinary cause shall constitute a failure or refusal.
