If an employee is laid off and is subsequently rehired preferentially or recalled, must the employee be rehired at the same salary they were being paid at the time of layoff?
No. The union contracts and University policy do not require that an employee preferentially rehired or recalled into a new position receive the same salary as they received prior to layoff. In setting the salary, a department may take into consideration budget limitations and equity with other employees.
