NOTE: The evaluative criteria should be applied to all employees equally and non-discriminatively. The ranking exercise must be well documented.
†This information can be obtained from Human Resources. If there is any other information in the ranking list that is inaccessible using HCM, please reach out to Human Resources.
1If an employee is being retained who has less service than an employee with the same job title, sufficient documentation must support the reason the less senior employee will be retained.
2If a probationary employee is not among the group to be laid off, sufficient documentation must support why the individual will be retained while employees with more service will be laid off.
*Employees being laid off.
