Initial Classification Clause Samples
The Initial Classification clause defines how certain items, information, or materials are categorized at the outset of an agreement or process. Typically, this clause specifies the criteria or standards used to assign an initial status or level—such as confidential, proprietary, or public—to relevant materials. For example, documents exchanged at the start of a project may be automatically classified as confidential until reviewed. The core function of this clause is to establish a clear baseline for handling and protecting materials from the beginning, thereby reducing ambiguity and ensuring that all parties understand their obligations regarding the initial treatment of such items.
Initial Classification. All full-time faculty employed after one year of teaching at Hocking College or upon completion of probation shall be assigned an initial rank by the Advancement Committee. Such initial ranking will be determined in a manner deemed most appropriate by the committee and must adhere to the classifications and criteria specified in subsection “A” above. The Advancement Committee shall be the final arbiter of all initial classifications.
Initial Classification. For the purpose of determining the initial classification of business, commercial and industrial establishments under this chapter, the sanitation superintendent shall conduct a volume survey of all such establishments in the city, which survey shall run for one (1) week, and from the result of such survey such business, commercial and industrial establishments shall be classified. Written notice of the result of such survey and of the classification established shall be given to each business, commercial, and industrial establishment. (Code 1975, § 12-11)
Initial Classification. (a) In assessing an Employee’s starting paypoint on commencement of employment, the Employee shall be given credit for all previous continuous nursing experience of which the Employee has provided evidence to the Employer that would satisfy a reasonable person. Nursing experience:
i. Includes all time spent as a nursing Employee in an equivalent classification, including in an ‘acting’ capacity;
ii. Excludes time spent as a student nurse; and
iii. Excludes any service prior to a break in nursing service which exceeds 5 years, provided that Level 1 Registered Nurses or Level 2 Enrolled Nurses who return to the workplace after an absence of more than 5 years may, after 12 months service and subject to satisfactory performance review, progress to the pay point they held immediately prior to that absence.
(b) The onus of proof of previous experience shall be upon the Employee.
(c) Prior to or within the first 4 weeks of employment, an Employee shall be required to provide evidence of previous nursing experience. Subject to proof of previous experience being provided within the first 4 weeks of employment, the Employer will adjust previous payments back to the date of commencement at the rate applicable to their demonstrated previous nursing experience for all time worked in accordance with 6.8.1
(a) Where proof of previous experience is not provided within four weeks of commencement, payment will continue at the existing rate until such time as further proof of previous experience is provided to the Employer.
