AND HIGHER Clause Samples
The "AND HIGHER" clause is used to specify that a particular term, condition, or requirement applies not only to a stated minimum level but also to any greater level. For example, if a contract states that a certain obligation applies to employees at grade 5 "and higher," it means the obligation covers all employees at grade 5 and above. This clause ensures that the scope of the provision is clearly extended to include all relevant higher categories, preventing ambiguity about its applicability and ensuring comprehensive coverage.
AND HIGHER. If the laid off employee in clerical salary grade 8 or higher is not re-employed within six (6) months following the layoff, and has not refused any offer of employment to a regular University position for which the employee applied, s/he may elect to bump the least senior employee in the same salary grade in the same layoff unit, provided the laid off employee is qualified to perform the duties of the position held by the individual s/he seeks to bump. A laid off employee who previously held a part time position is not eligible to bump into a full time position. An employee who bumps into a position will serve a new qualifying period in accordance with §8.7. In the event the laid off employee is not qualified to perform the job of the least senior employee, s/he is eligible to apply for vacant positions without preference, and to bridge seniority in accordance with §8.3.E.2.a.
