SENIORITY, DISPLACEMENT, LAYOFF AND RECALL Clause Samples
The 'Seniority, Displacement, Layoff and Recall' clause defines the rules and procedures governing employee status during workforce reductions and subsequent rehiring. It typically outlines how seniority is determined and used to decide the order in which employees may be laid off or reassigned (displaced), as well as the process for recalling employees to work when positions become available again. For example, employees with greater seniority may have priority to retain their jobs or be recalled first after a layoff. This clause ensures fairness and transparency in managing staffing changes, protecting employees from arbitrary decisions and providing a clear framework for both employers and workers during periods of organizational change.
