The appointing authority may lay off any employee whenever such action is made necessary by reason of a shortage of work or funds, the abolition of a position or because of changes in organization; provided, however, that two weeks advance written notice shall be given. However, no permanent employee shall be laid off while there are temporary, provisional or probationary employees serving in the same class of positions for which the permanent employee is qualified, eligible and available. Length of service in the same position calls may be given consideration.
