41-772. Reduction in force procedure in covered service
A. The director shall establish reduction in force procedures to be used by all state agencies if reductions are required in covered service by reason of lack of monies or work, abolition of a position, a material change in duty or organization or the introduction of other cost reduction initiatives.

Consideration of the person's performance is limited to performance, as measured by up to the three most recent performance evaluations conducted using a performance measurement system approved by the director, during a period of not more than the two years immediately preceding the reduction in force. Notwithstanding any other statute, a state agency shall not adopt policies that provide employment retention priority for employees based on tenure or seniority.
C. The procedures shall provide for a reduction in force to be limited to a single agency or organizational unit of an agency or an organizational unit of agency operations within a geographic area.
D. The procedures shall provide for an expedited review of any determinations made during a reduction in force.
