Reduction in Workforce Clause Samples
A Reduction in Workforce clause outlines the procedures and rights of both the employer and employees when the employer needs to decrease the number of staff, often due to economic reasons or organizational restructuring. This clause typically specifies the criteria for selecting employees for layoff, notice periods, severance pay, and any obligations for rehiring or outplacement assistance. Its core function is to provide a clear, fair, and legally compliant framework for managing layoffs, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring transparency during workforce reductions.
