Exceptional situation for relocated positions Sample Clauses

Exceptional situation for relocated positions. In the case of relocation of positions where the number of staff required for the position(s) in question increases or remains unchanged, employees have the option to state their preference to move with their job if the time they spend traveling to and from work (one-way journey) is between 1 ½ hours and two hours. If the traveling time for the employee already exceeded 1 ½ hours before the relocation of the work, the relocation must result in an increase in traveling time. As a general principle, the employee’s preference will be honored unless there is a compelling company interest to reject such a request for transfer. Employees who choose to move with their job will have the option, during a 5-month period following the geographic transfer of the position, to change their minds. During a period of one month after the employee has stated not to move with the job, the employer will assess, based on the procedures for vacancy management, whether it has a suitable position available for the employee. If no suitable position has been found within one month, the employee will become redundant on the first day of the following month.
