Common use of Reassignment Rights Clause in Contracts

Reassignment Rights. In the event that the position of an employee is eliminated or reduced in hours the employee has the right to be reassigned to a position of similar hours per week held by the least senior employee within the same classification or lower classification provided the employee meets the minimum qualifications for the position to which the employee is to be reassigned. Employees will not be reassigned to a promotional position, a position with a higher job classification, a position requiring the employee to work more than 100 hours more per year than presently assigned or a position which would require the employee to split his/her time between two buildings. An employee who has not had hours reduced or a position eliminated, but has been displaced by a more senior employee, has the same rights as the employee effected directly by staff reduction.
