Common use of Change Work Locations Clause in Contracts

Change Work Locations. An employee shall not be required to change work locations on a permanent basis except in the event of the closure of the residence, in the event of a reduction in staff, in the event of a serious conflict with a person supported or in the event of conflict between staff members which may cause anxiety or behaviour problems for the person supported. Whenever a change in location is being contemplated for any of the above noted reasons, a meeting shall take place with the Union representative and the employee or employees affected for full disclosure and discussion of the issues, in an attempt to resolve and rectify the issue. Following such meeting, if the Employer elects to proceed with a change in work location for an employee or employees, the Union Representative will be advised in writing. If an employee requests a transfer between communities in which Visions of Independence operates, the Employer will do its best to accommodate such a request. All seniority, benefits and wage rates will move with the employee.
