Company Employees Each Party shall not, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, any employee of the other Party who has been directly involved in the performance of this Agreement during the Term and for one year after the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of such individual's employment, with the other Party. It shall not be a violation of this provision if any employee responds to a Party's general advertisement of an open position.
Seller's Employees Purchaser will interview and evaluate in accordance with its normal employment procedures those Persons employed as field personnel in the capacity of pumper, foreman, operator, technician, mechanic, superintendent, repairman, utility man, or other similar field classifications by Seller in connection with the Subject Properties and identified by letter of even date herewith from Seller to Purchaser who desire to be considered for employment by Purchaser, and will offer in writing employment to those Persons for whom Purchaser in its sole discretion determines a need. If Purchaser fails to offer such employment to all of such Persons, Purchaser shall not, as a result of such failure, otherwise be in default under this Agreement, but shall be required to reimburse Seller for severance benefits paid by Seller to each such Person not offered employment by Purchaser; provided, that such reimbursement shall not exceed that amount determined by multiplying each such employee's normal weekly wage by twelve (12). Persons offered employment with Purchaser will be offered employment at their current work location with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided to Purchaser's current employees performing similar tasks, or, if none, with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided by Seller Such offers shall be made prior to Closing, but shall be contingent upon the occurrence of Closing and such employment shall not commence until Closing. If any such Person employed by Purchaser is terminated by Purchaser within six (6) months of Closing, Purchaser shall pay such Person a severance benefit equal to the amount determined by multiplying each such employee's normal weekly wage by ten (10). Purchaser shall have no obligation under this Section 13.19 with respect to Persons offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.19 who decline such employment, except that the foregoing provisions shall apply to the extent that such Person accepts employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within twelve (12) months of Closing.
Business Employees a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall update the information provided in Schedule 3.10(a)(i) as of the Closing Date. b) As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of employment to at least the number of Business Employees of Seller set forth on Schedule 5.4(b) whom shall be specifically identified by Buyer prior to the Closing. The initial term of employment shall be for a period no less than three (3) months, subject to termination for cause, which cause shall be determined by the Buyer or Buyer Designee in its sole discretion. At the end of the initial three (3) month term, the Buyer or Buyer Designee shall have the option to extend employment to those Business Employees as it determines in its sole discretion. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, including data privacy and data protection Laws, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with such information reasonably requested by Buyer to assist it with complying with the terms of this Section 5.4 and to assist Buyer with determining the wages paid to the Transferred Employees (as defined below) with respect to the period beginning on December 29, 2017 and ending on the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the transfer of the employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including with respect to notice and other procedural requirements. Any offered Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. Employment of the Transferred Employees with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall be effective as of the day following the close of business on the Closing Date. c) Where terms are not dictated by applicable Law, Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Transferred Employees, during their employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee, at a minimum, the same base salaries or, as applicable, base wage rates, offered by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date (but taking into account the 2018 salary increases) as set forth on Schedule 3.10(a)(i). Except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4, no Benefit Plans or assets of any Benefit Plan shall be transferred to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. d) Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment, under the terms of any Benefit Plan of Seller, of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that such employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall provide, at a minimum, severance benefits substantially equivalent to the benefits contained in the plans listed or as described on Schedule 5.4(d) to Transferred Employees whose employment is terminated involuntarily by Buyer on or before December 31, 2017 other than terminations in circumstances that would not require payments of severance benefits under Seller’s severance plan. e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any Business Employees, or to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause unless required otherwise under applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 5.4, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any employee or former employee of Seller or related entities (including, without limitation, the Transferred Employees) any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Section 5.4. It is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 5.4 are not intended to be for the benefit of or otherwise be enforceable by, any third party, including, without limitation, any Transferred Employees. No provision of this Section 5.4 shall create any rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided under any Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established or maintained by Buyer, shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify an Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement nor shall require Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer to continue or amend any particular benefit plan and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law
Layoff Order Seasonal employees shall be seasonally laid off in inverse order of Classification Seniority (State Seniority for Units 4 and 6) within the employment condition, seniority unit and principal place of employment of the affected position(s) unless waived by mutual agreement between the employee and the Appointing Authority.
Transferred Employees Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with non- standard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.
Company Plans Section 1.11(a)................ 6 Company................................Preamble....................... 1
Layoff List A list of all ASF Members laid-off within the prior three (3) year period shall be maintained by the System office. The list shall indicate if an individual has recall rights. The Association President shall be provided a copy of the list, and notified promptly of changes.
Layoff A layoff is defined as any mandatory, permanent or prolonged reduction in the number of full-time or part-time nurses employed by the Medical Center. A layoff may also occur if there is a mandatory reduction in scheduled hours or change of shift. Where skill, competence, ability and experience are substantially equal in the opinion of the Employer, seniority shall be the determining factor when utilizing this layoff procedure. The Employer will give the Association, the local unit chairperson and the affected full-time and part-time nurses at least thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice of a layoff or pay in lieu thereof, based on scheduled hours missed. As soon as practical thereafter, the Employer will provide the Association with a roster listing all bargaining unit nurses, their seniority, unit, shift and hours worked per pay period. Upon request, the parties will meet for the purpose of reviewing the procedure to be utilized and the order of layoff. If the Employer determines a layoff to be necessary, the following procedures shall be followed: 6.2.1 The Employer shall identify the unit(s), shift(s) and number of FTEs which will be subject to layoff. The position(s) of the least senior nurse(s) on the unit and shift to be eliminated to accomplish the required FTE reduction on that unit and shift will be identified. Those nurses whose positions have been eliminated shall be considered “displaced nurses”. The Local Unit Chairperson or designee, if available, shall be present when displaced nurses are given their bumping options. The Local Unit Chairperson or designee’s time off shall not be paid. 6.2.2 Displaced nurses, by seniority, shall have the following options: a. A displaced nurse wishing to remain on his/her unit may bump into the position of either the least senior full-time or the least senior part-time nurse on the nurse’s unit; or
Newly Hired Employees All employees hired to an insurance eligible position must make their benefit elections by their initial effective date of coverage as defined in this Article, Section 5C. Insurance eligible employees will automatically be enrolled in basic life coverage. If employees eligible for a full Employer Contribution do not choose a health plan administrator and a primary care clinic by their initial effective date, and do not waive medical coverage, they will be enrolled in a Benefit Level Two clinic (or Level One, if available) that meets established access standards in the health plan with the largest number of Benefit Level One and Two clinics in the county of the employee’s residence at the beginning of the insurance year. If an employee does not choose a health plan administrator and primary care clinic by their initial effective date, but was previously covered as a dependent immediately prior to their initial effective date, they will be defaulted to the plan administrator and primary care clinic in which they were previously enrolled.
Benefit Plans (a) Section 5.13(a) of the Hanover Disclosure Letter lists each material “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), and all other material employee benefit, bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, stock option (or other equity-based), severance, change in control, welfare (including post-retirement medical and life insurance) and fringe benefit plans, programs and arrangements, whether or not subject to ERISA and, whether written or oral (i) sponsored, maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to by Hanover or any of its Subsidiaries or to which Hanover or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and (ii) in which any individual who is currently or has been an officer, director or employee of Hanover (a “Hanover Employee”) is a participant (the “Hanover Benefit Plans”). Neither Hanover, any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate thereof has any commitment or formal plan, whether legally binding or not, to create any additional employee benefit plan or modify or change any existing Hanover Benefit Plan that would affect any Hanover Employee except in the ordinary course of business. Hanover has heretofore delivered or made available to Xxxxxx and Spinco true and complete copies of each Hanover Benefit Plan and any amendments thereto (or if the plan is not a written plan, a description thereof), any related trust or other funding vehicle, the most recent annual reports or summaries required to be prepared or filed under ERISA or the Code and the most recent determination letter received from the IRS with respect to each such plan intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code and the three most recent years (A) the Form 5500s and attached Schedules, (B) audited financial statements and (C) actuarial valuation reports. (b) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Hanover, (i) neither Hanover nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability under Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or under Section 412 of the Code that has not been satisfied in full, and (ii) no condition exists that would reasonably be expected to result in Hanover incurring any such liability. (i) No Hanover Benefit Plan is a “multiemployer pension plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA and (ii) none of Hanover, or any ERISA Affiliate thereof has made or suffered a “complete withdrawal” or a “partial withdrawal,” as such terms are respectively defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA, the liability for which would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Hanover. (d) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Hanover, each Hanover Benefit Plan has been operated and administered in all respects in accordance with its terms and applicable law, including, but not limited to, ERISA, the Code and the laws of any applicable foreign jurisdiction. Except as would not result in a material liability to Hanover, all contributions required to be made with respect to any Hanover Benefit Plan have been timely made. There are no pending or, to Hanover’s Knowledge, threatened claims by, on behalf of or against any of the Hanover Benefit Plans or any assets thereof, other than routine claims for benefits under such plans, that, if adversely determined could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Hanover or any of its Subsidiaries and no matter is pending (other than routine qualification determination filings, copies of which have been furnished to Xxxxxx and Spinco or will be promptly furnished to Xxxxxx and Spinco when made) with respect to any of the Hanover Benefit Plans before the IRS, the United States Department of Labor or the PBGC that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Hanover. (e) Each Hanover Benefit Plan intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the IRS stating that they and the trusts maintained thereunder are exempt from taxation under Section 401(a) of the Code, respectively, and each trust maintained under any Hanover Benefit Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code has satisfied such requirements and, in any such case, no event has occurred or condition is known to exist that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such tax-qualified status for any such Hanover Benefit Plan or any such trust. (f) No Hanover Benefit Plan is maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States, or covers any employee residing or working outside the United States. (g) Except as otherwise provided in or contemplated by this Agreement or any Executed Transaction Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result by itself or with the passage of time in the payment or acceleration of any amount, the accrual or acceleration of any benefit or any increase in any vested interest or entitlement to any benefit or payment by any employee, officer or director under domestic or foreign law that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to Hanover.
