Change in Work Status Clause Samples
The Change in Work Status clause defines the procedures and requirements for notifying and managing any alterations to an employee's employment status, such as changes in position, hours, or employment type. Typically, this clause outlines the process for both employer and employee to communicate changes, the necessary documentation, and any notice periods required before the change takes effect. Its core function is to ensure transparency and mutual understanding regarding employment modifications, thereby reducing disputes and maintaining clear records of employment terms.
Change in Work Status. A. Any employee who is relieved from duty or reassigned to a limited duty position (i.e. light duty) due to any medical condition for which he /she would be entitled to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits pursuant to Section 9-503 of the Labor and Employment Article of the Maryland Code shall be placed on administrative leave under Article 9.B.3 of the Agreement, or be placed in a light duty assignment as determined by the Employer.
