SCC determinations Clause Samples
The "SCC determinations" clause defines how decisions or interpretations related to Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are made within the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines which party or authority is responsible for assessing compliance with SCC requirements, such as data protection standards for international data transfers. For example, it may specify that a designated data protection officer or legal counsel will review and determine whether certain data processing activities meet SCC obligations. The core function of this clause is to ensure that there is a clear and authoritative process for interpreting and applying SCCs, thereby reducing ambiguity and ensuring regulatory compliance.

(c) Until the determination of the SCC, the existing grade (where relevant) will continue to apply.
(d) In the event an Employee is in a position that the SCC, or on review, the Commission determines to be at a lower grade than the Employee’s current grade, the Employee will have their current salary maintained.
