Seniority while on WCB Sample Clauses

The 'Seniority while on WCB' clause defines how an employee's seniority is treated during periods when they are absent from work due to a Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) claim. Typically, this clause ensures that employees continue to accrue seniority as if they were actively working, even while receiving WCB benefits for a workplace injury or illness. For example, time spent away from work under WCB coverage is counted towards their total length of service for purposes such as promotions, layoffs, or other seniority-based decisions. The core function of this clause is to protect employees from losing seniority status due to work-related injuries, thereby ensuring fair treatment and job security during their recovery.
