Seniority Accrual Clause Examples
The Seniority Accrual clause defines how an employee's length of service, or seniority, is calculated and accumulated over time. Typically, this clause outlines which periods of employment count toward seniority, such as continuous service, approved leaves, or prior related employment, and may specify exceptions or interruptions that do not count. Its core practical function is to ensure fair and consistent recognition of employee tenure, which can impact benefits, promotions, and other employment rights.
