Experience to Count Clause Samples
The 'Experience to count' clause defines which prior experience will be recognized and considered relevant for the purposes of the contract. Typically, this clause outlines the types of work, projects, or roles that qualify as valid experience, and may specify timeframes or particular industries that are applicable. For example, it might state that only experience gained within the last five years in a similar field will be counted. The core function of this clause is to ensure that only pertinent and recent experience is taken into account, thereby maintaining standards and relevance for the contractual obligations or qualifications required.
