First Source Employment Clause Samples
The First Source Employment clause requires a party, typically a contractor or developer, to prioritize hiring qualified local residents for job openings related to a specific project. In practice, this means the employer must notify a designated local agency of available positions and consider candidates referred by that agency before seeking applicants from the broader labor market. This clause is designed to promote local economic development by ensuring that employment opportunities generated by a project benefit the surrounding community first.
