SECTION B

SENIORITY

  1. Seniority is defined as the status attained by the length of Civil Service in employment for the City of Burbank.

Seniority shall be reinstated in the case of layoffs where the employee is recalled within three years of date of layoff. Such seniority shall include credits for prior time worked only and will not include any time while on layoff.

  3. Seniority shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions as set forth in Sections C and D below of this Article.

  4. An employee who has served the City under any federally funded manpower training program and has subsequently moved to a position in the Civil Service system, shall not have any seniority under the training program credited to his or her total service at the time of probationary appointment.
