Managing Recall Rights

To manage recall rights, use the Worker Recall Rights Process component (HR_RUNCTL_RGT) and the Manage Recall Rights component (HR_RCL_RIGHTS).

This topic discusses how to process and maintain recall rights.

Note: Recall rights are the rights a laid off worker has to accept a lower level job (bumping) or to be recalled back to work when a position becomes available. Each labor agreement has a recall expiration rule that calculates how long a worker has recall rights following a layoff and under what circumstances those rights would expire.

Description

Roster ID

Select the ID of the layoff or recall roster whose candidates' recall rights you want to update. The system will create a record in the Recall Rights component for those candidates who have a process event status on the roster. When an employee's recall rights have been processed for a particular Roster ID they cannot be processed a second time for the same Roster ID.

Reason

Select the reason for the new recall rights record. The system will insert this value in the Reason field on the Manage Recall Rights page.

 Manage Recall Rights page

You can manually enter and maintain recall rights for a person but the system will create and populate a row on this page for each person being processed when you run the:

  • Process Layoff process.

  • Process Recall or Process Reinst (Reinstatement) processes.

    Note: The system will create rows for those who accept a recall. Employees who reject recalls may lose their Recall Rights depending on the recall rights expiration rule assigned to their labor agreement. If a person rejects a recall, update the Recall Rights manually.
