Collective Agreements There are no collective agreements affecting your terms and conditions of employment.
EMPLOYEE PROTECTION Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits Executive’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) or self-regulatory organization regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against Executive for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise requires Executive to waive any monetary award or other payment that Executive might become entitled to from the SEC or any other Government Agency or self-regulatory organization.
Employee Agreements The Company will cause each person now or hereafter employed by it or by any subsidiary (or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary as a consultant/independent contractor) with access to confidential information and/or trade secrets to enter into a nondisclosure and proprietary rights assignment agreement.
Collective Agreement ARTICLE 1 -
Employee Protection Provision a) Where the employer is contracting out, selling or transferring all or part of the business, including the part of the business where the employee is employed, the following provisions will apply:
Benefit Plans The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any benefit plans relating to stock options, stock purchases, awards, pension, thrift, profit sharing, life insurance, medical coverage, education, or other retirement or employee benefits available to other senior executive employees of the Company, subject to any restrictions (including waiting periods) specified in such plans.
Compensation arrangements (a) Following receipt of an RoU Claim Notice in respect of a Type 2 Restriction of Use, Network Rail and the Train Operator shall (if they have not already done so) commence negotiations in respect of the RoU Direct Costs compensation to be paid by one party to the other in respect of such Type 2 Restriction of Use and, subject to paragraph 10, shall continue such negotiations in good faith until they are concluded.
Employee Matters Prior to Closing, each party shall deliver to the other a list of employees of its stations that it does not intend to retain after Closing. The acquiring party may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of the conveying party. The acquiring party is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume the obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Clear Channel Station Contracts or Exchange Party Station Contracts. With respect to employees potentially to be hired by the acquiring party, to the extent permitted by law the conveying party shall provide access to its personnel records and such other information as may be reasonably requested prior to Closing. With respect to employees hired by the acquiring party ("Transferred Employees"), the conveying party shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter the acquiring party shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. The acquiring party shall cause all Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which the acquiring party's similarly-situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage under any employee welfare benefit plan that is a group health plan on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such employee welfare benefit plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such employee welfare benefit plans for which Transferred Employees may be eligible after Closing, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that service with the conveying party shall be deemed to have been service with the acquiring party. No such service credit must be granted with respect to participation or eligibility in any employee pension benefit plan. In addition, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that Transferred Employees receive credit under any welfare benefit plan of the acquiring party for any deductibles or co-payments paid by Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall grant credit for all unused sick leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall assume and discharge the conveying party's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. From and after Closing, Exchange Party shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of Clear Channel to continue to withhold from the pay checks of Transferred Employees who have outstanding loan balances in Clear Channel's 401(k) Savings Plan, and Exchange Party shall remit such withheld amounts to Clear Channel in a timely fashion such that the outstanding loans do not go into default.
Deferred Compensation Plans Employees are to be included in the State of California, Department of Personnel Administration's, 401(k) and 457 Deferred Compensation Programs. Eligible employees under IRS Code Section 403(b) will be eligible to participate in the 403(b) Plan.
Project Employees Project employees who have not held permanent civil service status within the job classification, will not volunteer for or be assigned overtime work outside of the project. Required overtime within a project may first be assigned to qualified employees within the project by seniority. The process for assigning the overtime will follow the procedures outlined in this Article.
