Layoff Provision Clause Samples

A Layoff Provision is a contractual clause that outlines the conditions and procedures under which an employer may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate employees due to business needs, such as economic downturns or restructuring. This provision typically specifies notice requirements, severance pay, and the rights of affected employees, and may detail the order in which layoffs are conducted, such as by seniority or job function. Its core practical function is to provide a clear framework for both employers and employees during workforce reductions, minimizing disputes and ensuring compliance with legal and contractual obligations.

An employee who is laid off shall leave his address on a card provided for the purpose by the Company. It shall be the employee’s responsibility to keep the Company advised of any change of address.

Employees recalled to work shall report to work at the time specified by the Company, or notify the Company within five (5) calendar days prior to the time directed to report, of their inability to do so. Employees who fail to report as directed or who fail to notify the Company of their inability to report shall be considered as having resigned. Upon return to work, an employee shall return with the same seniority he held at the time of displacement of employment. Employees shall not accrue seniority during the period of layoff.
