They have equal seniority. No problem.

Senority means nothing in today's job market. You can be fired at a seconds notice, and in many states, your boss doesn't have to give you a reason, and you have no legal recourse. 60 Minutes did a pirce on this about 7 months ago.

When I was hired by a company for a contract covered position that recognized seniority, there had to be (by contract) a randomizing of all people hired simultaneously to assign seniority among those people.
Without such a practice in place to account for seniority "ties" there is NO legal way to establish any difference in seniority, therefore they would be considered legally to have equal seniority.
Best of luck!

I would suggest that in manymany cases, jobs where "seniority" is an issue are the sorts of non-creative, non-innovative jobs that are ripe for outsourcing, and then seniority help nt at all.
I don;t know if that is the case in your example, as it is hard to imagine waitresses being outsourced, e.g., (but not drive through order takers!), but something to think about...seniority won;t help you if the job can be done elsewhere cheaper.

Unless there is a union contract involved, "senority" has no legal weight.

The only time this might matter would be if there was a Union contract, and if there is, then the contract would have language that governs this.
