Ala. Admin. Code r. 480-4-3-.34

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 8, May 31, 2024

Section 480-4-3-.34 - Optional Lay Off

(1) Temporary lay off - An individual who has the option of continuing to work or be included in a temporary lay off and who opts to be included is not deemed to have left the employment voluntarily. A temporary lay off is defined as a period of time not to exceed six (6) months. Such individuals are not required to seek work outside of their local union.

(2) Permanent lay off - An individual who has the option to continue working or be included in a permanent lay off and who opts to be included is deemed to have left the employment voluntarily. As in all cases of voluntary leaving, it must be determined from all the relevant facts whether the voluntary departure was for good cause connected with the work. Good cause may exist particularly in those cases where there would be significant change in job duties, rate of pay or other conditions of employment. All the attendant circumstances must be examined and considered.
