Common use of Extra Employee Clause in Contracts

Extra Employee. An Extra Employee is any Employee hired through an Employment Agency either to relieve a Regular Employee or to supplement the existing workforce. Extra Employees shall not be employed to displace Regular Employees. An Extra Employee, who is employed for ninety (90) calendar days for the Employer within a twelve (12) month period, shall become a Regular Employee for the purposes of benefit eligibility and Union affiliation. Upon completion of their ninety (90) day period, an Extra Employee will have completed their probationary period. Extra Employees may be scheduled less than thirty-two (32) hours per week. Regular Employees on layoff shall be hired first. No Extra Employees will be hired when Regular Employees in the same classification are on layoff or reduced in hours. It is agreed and understood that assignment of Employees to work less than thirty-two (32) hours per week within the meaning of this provision shall not operate to replace any existing Employees and, further, the hiring of Employees to work less than thirty-two (32) hours per week shall not be done for the purpose of permanently replacing full-time positions. In the event of a reduction in force, those Employees regularly scheduled to work less than thirty-two (32) hours per week shall be laid off prior to the layoff of any Regular Employees.
