2506
. (a) A successor grocery employer shall retain each eligible
grocery worker hired pursuant to this part for at least 90 days after
the eligible grocery worker's employment commencement date. During
this 90-day transition employment period, eligible grocery workers
shall be employed under the terms and conditions established by the
successor grocery employer and pursuant to the terms of a relevant
collective bargaining agreement, if any.
(b) If, within the period established in subdivision (b) of
Section 2504, the successor grocery employer determines that it
requires fewer eligible grocery workers than were required by the
incumbent grocery employer, the successor grocery employer shall
retain eligible grocery workers by seniority within each job
classification to the extent that comparable job classifications
exist or pursuant to the terms of a relevant collective bargaining
agreement, if any. Nonclassified eligible grocery workers shall be
retained by seniority and according to experience or pursuant to the
terms of a relevant collective bargaining agreement, if any.
(c) During the 90-day transition employment period, the successor
grocery employer shall not discharge without cause an eligible
grocery worker retained pursuant to this part.
(d) At the end of the 90-day transition employment period, the
successor grocery employer shall make a written performance
evaluation for each eligible grocery worker retained pursuant to this
part. If the eligible grocery worker's performance during the 90-day
transition employment period is satisfactory, the successor grocery
employer shall consider offering the eligible grocery worker
continued employment under the terms and conditions established by
the successor grocery employer and as required by law. The successor
grocery employer shall retain a record of the written performance
evaluation for at least three years.
