Return to Former Classification Clause Samples
The "Return to Former Classification" clause establishes the right or process for an employee to revert to a previous job classification under certain circumstances. Typically, this clause applies when an employee has been promoted or transferred to a new position but is unable to perform satisfactorily or if the new role is eliminated. For example, if an employee moves from a technical to a managerial role and either the position is abolished or the employee does not meet performance expectations, they may be allowed to return to their former technical position. This clause provides job security for employees taking on new roles by ensuring they have the option to return to their previous position, thereby reducing the risk associated with internal mobility or organizational changes.
