Layoff Information
The University of California, Davis is committed to creating a supportive environment for each employee and to administering all policies fairly and equitably. It is the policy of the University to minimize layoffs required by budget reductions and to consider staffing reductions only after other creative solutions have been considered.
If layoffs are inevitable, it is critical to administer the University's bargaining agreements and personnel policies fairly and equitably. Departments should check specific union contracts (bargaining agreements) and personnel policies to confirm the rights that employees may have with regard to notice, recall, and preferential rehire. You can find the Personnel Policies for Staff Members here and the bargaining agreements here.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact your Employee Relations Consultant.
