SENIORITY AND LAYOFF Sample Clauses
The Seniority and Layoff clause establishes how employee seniority affects decisions regarding layoffs within an organization. Typically, this clause outlines that employees with greater length of service have priority in retaining their positions during workforce reductions, and may also specify procedures for recalling laid-off employees based on seniority order. By clearly defining the role of seniority in layoff decisions, the clause ensures fairness and transparency, reducing disputes and providing employees with predictable expectations during periods of downsizing.
