89552
. (a) Whenever a determination has been made that there is a
lack of funds or lack of work, employees in a class or teaching
service area to be reduced shall be laid off in the following order:
(1) The Chancellor of the California State University or a
president of a state university may, at his or her discretion,
without regard to the class or teaching service area to be reduced,
separate from service any student assistant, instructor for extension
service, person employed on a temporary basis, or, with respect to
employment in a summer session, any member of the faculty of a campus
summer session. Persons described in this paragraph, if performing
the same or comparable work as that performed by a probationary or
permanent employee, shall be separated before any probationary or
permanent employee desiring to continue in employment is laid off
pursuant to the provisions of this article.
(2) Probationary employees not employed on a temporary basis,
without regard to length of service.
(3) Permanent employees:
(A) If the area of layoff is in administrative or nonacademic
classes, permanent administrative and nonacademic employees in the
inverse order of their length of employment both in the class and in
class of equal or higher rank.
(B) If the area of layoff is in class or rank positions, permanent
academic employees in the inverse order of their length of
employment at the campuses.
(C) If the area of layoff is in the closely related academic area,
permanent employees in the inverse order of their length of
employment in the class or in classes of equal or higher level at the
campuses.
(b) If the layoff is in a class, part-time employees shall be
credited with the service at the campus in the proportion that the
actual time employed bears to full-time employment. If the layoff is
in a teaching service area, part-time permanent employees shall be
credited with service as permanent employees of the campus in the
proportion that the actual time served as permanent employees bears
to full-time employment.
(c) In case two or more employees in the class or teaching service
area are tied for a place in the order of layoff, the president or
the chancellor, as appropriate to the place of employment, shall
determine which of the employees shall be laid off.
(d) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to
Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of
the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be
controlling without further legislative action, except that if the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure
of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved
by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
