Breakdown Pay Clause Samples

The Breakdown Pay clause establishes compensation for employees or contractors when work is interrupted due to equipment failure, delays, or other unforeseen stoppages beyond their control. Typically, this clause specifies the conditions under which breakdown pay is triggered, such as a minimum waiting period or the type of breakdown covered, and outlines the rate or amount to be paid during the downtime. Its core function is to ensure that workers are fairly compensated for lost time when they are unable to perform their duties due to circumstances outside their responsibility, thereby providing financial protection and promoting fairness in the workplace.
