Common use of Effectiveness Under Stress Clause in Contracts

Effectiveness Under Stress. There are some positions where pace, pressure, and tempo are constantly demanding. Is the employee capable of meeting rapidly changing deadlines? Can the person produce an acceptable volume and quality of work in an emergency? Is the work generally organized well enough to meet unforeseen contingencies? Before marking this factor, consider whether stress is inherent in the position or results from the employee’s failure to properly plan and organize his/her work.
