Substantial Service Changes Clause Samples
The Substantial Service Changes clause defines the process and conditions under which significant modifications to the services provided under an agreement may occur. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes a 'substantial' change—such as major alterations in scope, delivery methods, or key features—and may require advance notice, mutual consent, or renegotiation of terms if such changes are proposed. Its core function is to protect both parties from unexpected or unilateral shifts in service, ensuring that any major adjustments are managed transparently and with agreement, thereby reducing the risk of disputes.

(1) full hour (60 minutes) in the evaluation of a rural route's hours as determined by the formula in this paragraph, which indicate possible eligibility for, or adjustment of evaluated compensation, the Employer shall promptly adjust the route evaluation and shall make a prompt adjustment in the compensation. Such interim adjustment shall be made by application of a formula based upon (1) the appropriate box allowance added to the volume factor multiplied by the boxes added to or subtracted from the route since the last evaluation and (2) the change in miles multiplied by the appropriate factor.
b. When the service changes equal a full four (4) hours (240 minutes) difference from the standard hours established by the last official mail count, the route will be scheduled for count in the following September. Should this route qualify for and be given a special count pursuant to the provisions of Article 9.2.C.11.a.(3), (4), and (5), it will not be recounted in September. For immediate salary purposes, the cumulative adjustments in compensation will be determined by the interim adjustment formula.
c. To allow sufficient time to schedule the routes for a September count, the four (4) hours of change must be effective by the end of pay period 17 for the route to be counted in September of that fiscal year. Routes reaching the four (4) hour growth benchmark during pay periods 18 through 21 will be scheduled for a mail count in September of the following fiscal year. Salary adjustments for these carriers will be made in accordance with Article 9, Section 2.C.10.b.
