Reduction in Force (Lay-off)

W.L. Bonner College is a continuously operative agency and is not ordinarily subject to a reduction in force, however, some occasions such as the reorganization of a department or decrease in students for an extended period, loss of funding, or other circumstances affecting W.L. Bonner College may necessitate a reduction in hours for some employees and in extreme situations may require a reduction in force. Every effort will be made to provide continuous employment, and if an employee is no longer needed in the original department, effortswill be made to place him/her in a comparable vacant position.

In the event a reduction in force becomes necessary, consideration will be given to the quality of each employee’s past performance and attendance record, the need of service to the College, and seniority in determining those employees to be retained. All procedural matters affecting a reduction in force are at the discretion of the Dean.
