Common use of Reconfirmation Clause in Contracts

Reconfirmation. The employer shall reconfirm (as defined in clause 10.3.8(a)(i) above) employees to suitable positions at the merged school. An employee may be reconfirmed to her/his preferred position or, subject to her/his agreement, to a position for which she/he is appropriately qualified and experienced. Where there are two or more employees eligible for re-confirmation to a single position, the employer shall reconfirm the most suitable candidate(s) based on merit. Where a permanent employee is reconfirmed, this must be into a position of at least the same hours. Provided that where an employee accepts redeployment to a position with reduced hours in a situation where a position with at least the same hours is not available, that employee will be entitled to a partial redundancy payment. Partial redundancy will be calculated on the basis of applying the redundancy pay formula described in clause 10.2.12 (Surplus Staffing) of this agreement to the total number of reduced hours as set out under clauses 2.5 and 2.6 (Hours of Work) of this Agreement. This total shall be paid as an allowance over the number of weeks of entitlement. Should the employee’s hours increase over this period the allowance will be reduced or removed accordingly.
