Chapter 3636.360. Layoffs. — In accordance with the regulations, an appointing authority may lay off an employee in a position subject to this chapter whenever the appointing authority deems it necessary by reason of shortage of work or funds, or the abolition of a position or other material change in duties or organization. No regular employee shall be laid off while a person is employed on a provisional or temporary basis in the same class in that division. The seniority and ability of employees to do the remaining work shall be considered, in such manner as the regulations shall provide, among the factors in determining the order of layoffs. The appointing authority shall give written notice to the director of every proposed layoff a reasonable time before the effective date thereof, and the director shall take such action relating thereto as the director considers necessary to secure compliance with the regulations. The name of every regular employee so laid off shall be placed on the appropriate reinstatement register.
