Management reserves the right, power, and authority to recall employees from
layoff status as deemed necessary. The names of employees laid off will be
maintained on a recall list for one (1) year from the date of such layoff and such
employees will be offered their job classifications, if the same exists, in the event
of a recall.
When making any recall from layoff decisions, the primary determining factors
that will be considered are job performance, absenteeism record, and the
workload & the number of personnel within a particular bureau, division, or shift.
If the listed factors are the same when considering recall from layoff decisions,
the full-time continuous date of employment with the Nashua Police Department
will be considered.
Management shall notify the employee by registered mail of being recalled no
earlier than two (2) weeks before the recall date. If an employee fails to return to
work on the date as indicated by management when recalled from layoff status, he
shall be considered to be resigned from employment with the Nashua Police
Department.
