(3) employee who has served in the service class of layoff or in a class at substantially the same or higher salary level as the class of layoff with the highest maximum salary;

(4) employee with the earliest appointment date for any service credit computed under the provisions of Government Code section 19997.3;

If two or more employees in a professional, scientific, administrative, management, or executive class have the same seniority score, the employee who has the lower rating for current performance shall be laid off first. If distinction cannot be made between two or more such employees with the same seniority score by this means the other preferences provided in this section shall apply.
