89556
. (a) The president at each campus, and the chancellor at the
office of the chancellor, shall establish and maintain reemployment
lists of all permanent employees laid off for lack of funds or lack
of work during the preceding five-year period. Laid-off permanent
employees shall be listed by class or teaching service area
corresponding to the class or teaching service area from which they
were laid off.
(b) In the event there is a vacancy at a campus or at the office
of the chancellor, for which there exists no reemployment list, the
position may be offered to the persons in the appropriate class or
teaching service area who are on mandatory reemployment lists at
another campus or the office of the chancellor.
(c) A person shall deliver or cause to be delivered his acceptance
of an offer with the following times:
(1) When the person resides in the city from which the offer is
mailed, five days after the date the offer is received.
(2) When the person resides outside such city, seven days after
the offer is received.
(3) When the offer is made by telephone or telegram, 48 hours
after the offer is received. While a prudent effort shall be made to
contact the person eligible for reemployment, it is his
responsibility to keep the office maintaining the reemployment list
informed of where he may be reached readily.
(d) Any person on a reemployment list who cannot be reached within
five days, or who fails to reply to an offer of reemployment as
required by this section, shall be deemed to have declined the offer.
Such failure by any person may be excused by the president or
chancellor at his discretion. If the failure is excused, the person
may be reemployed or his name may be continued on the reemployment
list if the vacancy has already been filled.
(e) Any person on a reemployment list may request inactive status
for a prescribed period of not to exceed one year.
(f) Any person on the reemployment list who declines two offers of
reemployment shall be removed from the list. Any person removed from
a reemployment list may be restored to his relative position on the
list at the discretion of the president or chancellor upon a showing
of good cause.
(g) Any employee reemployed pursuant to this article shall be
reemployed in a class at a level at least equal to that from which he
was laid off.
(h) 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 such
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.
