Such permanent employees shall return to full-time employment at the request of the appointing authority pursuant to regulations adopted by the department which shall define the conditions under which such a request by the appointing authority is appropriate and provide a reasonable grace period for allowing an employee to make the necessary personal arrangements for returning to full-time employment.
(b)If a layoff becomes unavoidable, persons employed on a reduced worktime basis shall not routinely be subject to the layoff ahead of full-time employees. These employees shall be subject to the same seniority and other similar considerations as full-time employees in determining the order of layoffs.
