27.1 If the District is engaged in a procedure to hire a permanent
employee to fill a vacancy in any classified position, one or more
substitutes may be employed to fill that position for not more than
60 calendar days.
27.2 In the event of any governing board or administrative decision to (a)
abolish classified positions for lack of work or lack of funds, and/or
(b) lay off classified positions for lack of work or lack of funds, the
District shall agree to meet and negotiate the effects of said decision
with regard to matters within the scope of representation, as defined
by Government Code, Section 3543.2.
27.3 All classified employees currently on layoff, working a reduced hour
position, or any employee who accepted demotion in lieu of layoff, as
a result of District action shall be given absolute first priority in
order of reverse seniority for any open position in the classification
which the employee held immediately prior to the layoff, reduction
in hours, or demotion (provided that the employee continues to
satisfy the then existing minimum qualifications for said position)
until such time as all classified employees have been returned to
their prior status, or a period of 39 months from the date of the
layoff, or a period of 63 months from the date of demotion in lieu of
layoff. The procedures or requirements of Appendix H of the
collective bargaining agreement shall be applicable.
27.4 CSEA shall receive written notice by way of a copy of the Personnel
Requisition of all short term employees that have been hired and
notice regarding the specific project and/or category the employee
has been hired to perform within fifteen (15) working days of the
employee's date of hire.

and understood that the Chancellor's guidelines include the Title 5
Regulations from the California Administrative Code.
27.7 Neither work study students nor work experience students shall be
used to displace or replace classified bargaining unit employees. In

bargaining unit positions, no additional types of work previously
performed by the employee(s) affected (by the layoff, reduction of
hours, or abolishment) shall be assigned to any work experience or

abolishment of bargaining unit positions, all short-term employees in
a particular classification shall be displaced prior to any
displacement of classified bargaining unit employees in that
classification.
