Increment While on Leave or Lay Sample Clauses
The "Increment While on Leave or Lay" clause establishes whether an employee continues to accrue salary or wage increases during periods of leave or layoff. Typically, this clause specifies if time spent on authorized leave—such as medical, parental, or unpaid leave—or during a temporary layoff counts toward service time for the purpose of scheduled pay increments. For example, it may state that employees on maternity leave will still receive their annual pay raise as if they were actively working. The core function of this clause is to clarify how compensation progression is handled during absences, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring fair treatment of employees who are temporarily away from work.
