N.J. Admin. Code § 9A:7-2.7

Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025

Section 9A:7-2.7 - Reemployment lists; generally

(a) With respect to reemployment rights of tenured faculty and multi-year contract employees, the college president shall establish separate reemployment lists for academic and administrative positions, including the names and qualifications of all tenured faculty and multi-year contract employees on layoff status.

(b) The college shall not fill a vacancy in any faculty position in any layoff unit in which a layoff has occurred without first making a written offer of reemployment to those persons on the academic reemployment list whom the president believes, as a result of his academic judgment confirmed by the board of trustees, are qualified to fill the position.

(c) The college president shall not fill a vacancy in an administrative position in any layoff unit in which a layoff has occurred without first making a written offer of reemployment to the person on the administrative reemployment list whom the president, in his administrative judgment confirmed by the board of trustees, believes is most qualified for the position.

(d) In the event that two or more persons on an academic reemployment list are equally qualified for a single faculty position, the college shall give reemployment preference in reverse of the order in which they were laid off: i.e. last laid off, first rehired. Where the president deems two or more persons on the administrative reemployment list to be equally qualified for an administrative position, the person with the longest employment within the layoff unit in which the vacancy exists shall be preferred.

(e) A person offered reemployment shall have two weeks from receipt to respond to an offer, which shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, after which the offer shall be deemed to have expired and the person to have waived any rights to reemployment under these regulations. Persons on a reemployment list shall have the obligation to keep the college office designated by the president informed of current addresses.

(f) If a person offered reemployment cannot accept the reemployment offer immediately due to an ongoing professional contract with another employer, such person shall not be deemed to have waived any reemployment right, provided that he or she resumed employment with the college within one year of the date of notification of reemployment.
