Common use of EMPLOYER TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES Clause in Contracts

EMPLOYER TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES. 5.1.1 The Employer may transfer employees to meet the necessities of the business including, but not limited to a layoff and/or reduction of hours, as long as in so doing, the Employee does not exceed the transfer-travel limits set forth below. Reasonable tolerance of these time limits shall be allowed for temporary transfers such as vacation relief and store openings. For good and sufficient reason, an employee may refuse a transfer from the jurisdictional area of one Local Union to another. 5.1.2 Requests for transfers within the Union’s geographical jurisdiction so an employee may work nearer one’s home will be given appropriate consideration and will not be refused arbitrarily. Similarly, an employee will not be arbitrarily transferred to a store farther from one’s own home.
