Layoff or Recall Clause Samples
The "Layoff or Recall" clause defines the procedures and rights related to temporarily reducing the workforce and subsequently bringing employees back to work. It typically outlines the conditions under which employees may be laid off, the order or criteria for selecting employees for layoff (such as seniority), and the process for recalling employees when positions become available again. This clause ensures transparency and fairness in workforce adjustments, protecting both employer operational needs and employee job security during periods of fluctuating business demand.
