Months or More Clause Samples

The "Months or More" clause defines a minimum duration threshold for certain obligations or conditions within a contract. Typically, it specifies that particular terms, rights, or requirements only apply if a period of a specified number of months or longer is involved—for example, benefits or penalties may only be triggered if an agreement lasts six months or more. This clause ensures that short-term arrangements are excluded from certain provisions, thereby providing clarity and preventing unintended application of long-term terms to brief engagements.
Months or More. When filling vacancies with an estimated duration of six (6) months or more, except as noted in Clause 9.20, it will be done in the following order:
Months or More. The Employer shall, upon application, issue to any Mate continuously employed for at least six (6) months, annual passes authorizing free passage for the Mate, Mate’s spouse and dependents, as well as for the Mate’s motor vehicle and recreation vehicle, including a trailer, on all vessels of the Employer.

Months or More. New employees having previous comparable experience may be paid at a lower scale of wages than their claimed experience calls for, but not less than the minimum rate established by this contract, for a probationary period not to exceed forty-five (45) days from the date of employment, provided that if the employee's services are retained, and their experience is accepted as comparable, then after the forty-five (45) day period, they shall receive any difference between the probationary rate paid and the rate for which their experience qualifies them. It is further understood that the rate paid retroactively shall not apply for the first ten (IO) working days. New employees shall receive written notification showing any credit granted for previous experience. In the event of any disagreement as to the credit granted for previous experience, such disagreement shall be considered a grievance and the grievance procedure provided in the Agreement shall apply. Provided the Co-operative has given the employee concerned the written notification showing credit granted for previous experience as required by this contract, no consideration shall be given to any disagreement pertaining to credit for previous experience if presented later than time limits as set out in Article Grievance Procedure.
Months or More. The employee who had occupied the job, upon his return to work shall once again occupy the job that he had filled prior to vacating for any of the reasons set forth above, provided however, that the job is still in effect and is not filled by a senior employee who, for reasons of notice of layoff from his former job has exercised his seniority on this particular job. An employee can hold only one permanent and/or a temporary or backup position (as per current practice).
