Laid off employees and employees whose positions are abolished, and employees displaced as a result of a layoff, who have the right to displace, shall exercise their displacement rights in the following order:
(a) An employee who has the right to displace whose position is abolished and who is to be laid off, may displace within his classification. If the employee exercises his right to displace within his classification, he shall displace the employee with the fewest retention points in that classification.
(b) An employee who is to be laid off or displaced as a result of a layoff may displace an employee with the fewest retention points in the next lower and then successively lower classifications in the classification series. This process shall continue if necessary until the employee with the fewest retention points in the lowest classification of the classification series has been reached, and if necessary, laid off.
