Layoff Recall Process Clause Samples
The Layoff/Recall Process clause outlines the procedures an employer must follow when reducing staff and subsequently recalling employees to work. Typically, this clause details the criteria for selecting employees for layoff, such as seniority or job classification, and specifies the order and method for recalling employees when positions become available again. Its core function is to ensure fairness and transparency in workforce reductions and rehirings, minimizing disputes and providing clear expectations for both management and employees.
