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.
