Common use of JOB TRANSFERS Clause in Contracts

JOB TRANSFERS. 14:01 When an employee is transferred at his own request, or by the Hospital, so as to avoid laying him off, then the employee shall immediately be paid the starting rate of the classification to which he is transferred and shall progress within the scale for that job classification according to the length of service within the classification subsequent to the date of transfer. Provided that if the employee so transferred has, in the judgment of the Employer, the experience or qualifications necessary to perform satisfactorily the work in the job classification to which he has been transferred, he shall immediately progress in the scale for such job classification to the same position he held in the scale of the job classification from which he was transferred. 14:02 When an employee is transferred from a higher rated job classification to a lower job classification for the convenience of the Hospital and the ease of its operations, he shall continue to be paid as though he was employed in the job classification in which he was previously working, unless the final rate in the new classification is higher than in the former classification, in which case the employee shall retain his attained rate, but progress in the wage scale according to length of service in the new classification.
