How does alternation work? 

Alternation is available to workers during certain stages of the workforce adjustment process. It allows an opting or surplus employee to remain employed by exchanging positions with a non-affected employee willing to leave, thereby preserving employment opportunities within the public service. It is the employer’s obligation to facilitate alternation, and management cannot arbitrarily or unfairly deny alternation requests.
