Decreasing and Increasing Forces Clause Samples

The "Decreasing and Increasing Forces" clause defines how changes in the level of force or effort required under a contract are managed between the parties. It typically outlines procedures for adjusting obligations, timelines, or compensation if the amount of work, resources, or external pressures affecting performance either rises or falls. For example, if a project becomes more complex or simpler than initially anticipated, this clause would specify how the parties should respond, such as by renegotiating terms or adjusting deliverables. Its core function is to provide a fair and predictable mechanism for handling fluctuations in workload or external conditions, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring both parties are treated equitably when circumstances change.
Decreasing and Increasing Forces. The seniority credits of part-time employees will be shown on a separate seniority list and such list will be revised at the end of each fiscal quarter in accordance with Item 5, Seniority Credits. In reducing the number of part-time employees with established seniority in an occupational classification under an immediate supervisor, part-time employees with the shortest seniority will be the first to be removed, subject to the remaining employees being able to meet the normal requirements of the work. Part-time employees with established seniority affected by a reduction of forces as set out in the previous paragraph, may transfer in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.06, of Article 14 - Seniority, with the following exception to Article 14.06 that such transfers will be limited to jobs held by other part-time employees with shorter seniority credits. Employees not able to so transfer will be placed on a separate recall list for a period of one year. When part-time work becomes available, employees on this separate recall list will be considered in line with their seniority for available part-time openings, for which they are qualified.
Decreasing and Increasing Forces. An employee will be considered on probation and will not be placed on a seniority list until he has accumulated three months of service credits with the Company. Seniority will then , date back three months from the date when such service credits are accumulated and seniority thereby established. In all cases of displacement, transfer or layoff due to lack of work of employees with seniority, total service credits will be the major factor governing such displace- ments, transfers or layoffs, subject to the remaining employees being able to meet the normal requirements of the work. Seniority so exercised will apply first on a seniority department and then a plant-wide basis as follows: Subject to Note II an employee with established seniority who is removed from his occupational classification due to lack of work or displacement will be permitted to displace on any occupa- tional classification in his seniority de- partment in which there is an employee with shorter service credits or transfer to a job opening plant-wide in line with his service credits. If there is no displacement or transfer available in (a) within 1 below the job rate of the occupational classification from which he is being removed, such employee, subject to Note II, will be permitted to displace on any occupa- tional classification plant-wide in which there is an employee with shorter ser- vice credits. If there is no such displacement availa- ble in within below the job rate of the classification from which he is being removed, then providing he has two or more years of service credits, such employee will be permitted to displace on any occupational classification in his own seniority department in which there is an employee with shorter service credits and on which it is expected he can meet the requirements of Note III within fifteen days, including up to fifteen days of training. If there is no such displacement availa- ble in within 3 wage steps, up to a maximum of below the job rate of the classification from which he is being removed, then providing he has two or more years of service credits, such employee will be permitted to displace on any occupational classification plant-wide in which there is an employee with shorter service credits on which it is expected he can meet the requirements of Note III within fifteen days, includ- ing up to fifteen days of training. If there is no displacement available in within below the job rate of the classification from which he is being r...

In all cases of governing such displacements, transfers or layoffs,subjectto the remaining employees being able to maintain the normal require- ments of the work. For displacements, layoffs or transfers in lieu of layoff of employees with established seniority, seniority will govern on the follow- ing basis, provided the application of such a principle does not prevent the Company from maintaining a working force of employees who are competent and willing to do the remaining work.
