VDU Operators Allowance Clause Samples
The VDU Operators Allowance clause establishes additional compensation or benefits for employees who regularly operate visual display units (VDUs) as part of their job duties. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, such as the minimum number of hours spent using VDUs, and specifies the amount or type of allowance provided, which may be a fixed sum or a percentage of salary. Its core function is to recognize the potential strain or health risks associated with prolonged VDU use and to compensate employees accordingly, thereby addressing workplace health and safety concerns.
