Is the layoff process the same for managers and senior professionals (MSP level) as it is for PSS and bargaining unit employees?
No. According to PPSM Policy 65 – Termination of Career Employees—Managers and Senior Professionals, Salary Grades I through VII, an MSP level employee may be terminated when, in management’s judgment, the needs or resources of a department …do not justify the continuation of an employee’s appointment. MSP level employees are issued a notice of intent to terminate and do not have ‘bumping’, preferential rehire or recall rights. Department’s contemplating termination of a MSP level employee due to layoff, should provide a written justification for the reason for layoff e.g. lack of work, lack of fund and/or reorganization for review by Labor and Employee Relations.
