Common use of Change Work Locations Clause in Contracts

Change Work Locations. While employee preferences as to work locations and participant assignments are relevant, they are outweighed by the best interests of clients/residents and other operational requirements. An employee may therefore be required to change work locations or participant assignments by the Employer for bona fide reason, such as in the event of the closure of a residence, a reduction in staff, conflict with a participant/resident or conflict between staff members, or if it is otherwise in the best interests of the clients/residents. If a change is contemplated, the Employer will advise the Union Representative and the employee or employees affected prior to making the change, with an explanation as to why, and allow a reasonable opportunity for a response. The Employer will issue its decision in writing. In such instance, the Employer shall endeavour to provide the affected employee with a similar number of work hours and similar shift. If an employee requests a transfer between work locations, the Employer will do its best to accommodate such a request, taking into account the above factors. If an employee is relocated more than three (3) times in a one (1) year period due to staff or participant conflict, the matter will be considered a separate supervisory event and may be subjected to the progressive discipline process. Each additional relocation during the same one (1) year period shall be considered a separate supervisory event and may also be subjected to the progressive discipline process.
