§ 15-5-115 — Order of lay off when force reduced; reemployment of firemen

(a) If the force or schedule of employees of a department
is reduced, the person last certified for employment in the
department or employed in the department in accordance with W.S.
15-5-122 shall be the first laid off. If more than one (1)
person were employed in accordance with W.S. 15-5-122
simultaneously, and those persons were employed after the person
last certified for employment, the person with the least
seniority for his previous employing entity shall be the first
laid off.
(b) If a disabled, paid fireman, drawing a disability
pension, becomes fit for active duty and his disability pension
is discontinued within eighteen (18) months from the date of
disability, he shall be returned to service in the department
without any loss of rank, seniority or other privileges,
provided he has not been discharged or reduced in grade for
cause.
(c) Former firemen who have been laid off within two (2)
years because of reduction in force, and firemen who have been
on a disability pension for more than eighteen (18) months but
who have thereafter become fit for active duty, shall be given a
priority, in the order of their original employment, upon
application for any vacancy which cannot be filled by personnel
then within the department, provided that the former firemen and
formerly disabled firemen are then persons of good standing and
qualified for the vacancy.
