Seniority Upon Transfer Clause Samples

The 'Seniority Upon Transfer' clause establishes how an employee's length of service, or seniority, is treated when they move from one position, department, or location within an organization to another. Typically, this clause specifies whether the employee retains their accumulated seniority, resets it, or if only a portion is carried over, and may outline any exceptions or special conditions. By clearly defining the treatment of seniority in transfer situations, the clause ensures fairness in areas such as promotions, layoffs, and benefits eligibility, and helps prevent disputes over employee rights following internal moves.
