Common use of Reporting for Duty Clause in Contracts

Reporting for Duty. If a laid off employee is successful in their application to a posted position in Article 17.7.1 above, they shall report for duty on a mutually agreed date. If there is no mutually agreed date, the employee shall report for duty as specified in the appointment letter sent by registered mail to the employee’s last known address. Failure to report for duty as specified will automatically cancel the awarding of the position to the employee. The employee will remain on layoff status. The employer will then award the position to the next qualified applicant. If the next or subsequent successful applicants are also on layoff, this clause will continue to apply until the position has been filled.
