Seniority List Lacks Veteran Time

Please take note that employees who have spent time in the service do not have this accounted for in their seniority listing. Time served as a veteran must be added when there is a RIF. Human Resources will add this time to a person’s seniority if the individual identified for RIF has spent time in the service.

Chris Parsons, HR director, explained that not listing Veteran’s status is a way of respecting the privacy of individual employees who may be concerned about discrimination. Chris has asked for a second list to be compiled that accounts for time in the service. This list will more accurately report seniority for the purpose of RIF consideration.

Be sure to check your own status on the currently posted list and contact human resources as soon as possible if you have questions or concerns. ■
