The Separation Subject to the satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3, each of MII and B&W will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any actions, including the transfer of Assets and the assumption of Liabilities, necessary to effect the Separation on or prior to the Distribution Date. As of and after the Distribution Time, B&W and its Subsidiaries shall, as between the B&W Group and the MII Group, be responsible for all B&W Liabilities, regardless of when or where such B&W Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of where or against whom such B&W Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to, at or after the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of statute or Law, fraud or misrepresentation, breach of contract or other theory, by any member of the MII Group or the B&W Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates. As of and after the Distribution Time, MII and its Subsidiaries shall, as between the MII Group and the B&W Group, be responsible for all MII Liabilities, regardless of when or where such MII Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of where or against whom such MII Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to, at or after the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of statute or Law, fraud or misrepresentation, breach of contract or other theory, by any member of the MII Group or the B&W Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Subject to Section 3.8(f), each of MII and B&W agrees on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries as of the Distribution Time that the provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall exclusively govern the allocation of Assets and Liabilities related to Taxes.
Separation Any employee who has been employed for at least six (6) continuous months will be entitled to payment for vacation leave credits when they:
A. Resign with adequate notice;
B. Retire;
C. Are laid-off; or
D. Are terminated by the Employer. In addition, the estate of a deceased employee will be entitled to payment for vacation leave credits.
Dependent Child/Parents Separated or Divorced If two or more plans cover a person as a dependent child of divorced or separated parents, the plan responsible to cover benefits for the child will be determined in the following order: • first, the plan of the parent with custody of the child; • then, the plan of the spouse of the parent with custody of the child; and • finally, the plan of the parent not having custody of the child. If the terms of a court decree state that: • one of the parents is responsible for the healthcare expenses of the child, and the entity obligated to pay or provide the parent's benefits under that parent's plan has actual knowledge of those terms, the benefits of that plan are determined first and the benefits of the plan of the other parent are the secondary plan. • both parents share joint custody, without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the healthcare expenses of the child, the plans covering the child will follow the order of benefit determination rules outlined above.
Notice of Separation When an employee’s resignation is presumed in accordance with Section 27.2 above, the Employer will separate the employee by sending a separation notice to the employee by certified mail to the last known address of the employee. Such notice will include information regarding eligibility for continuation of medical benefits.
Post-Employment Activities 7.1 For a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration, for any reason, of your employment with the Company hereunder, absent the Board of Directors' prior written approval, you will not directly or indirectly engage in activities similar to those described in Section 4.2, nor render services similar or reasonably related to those which you shall have rendered hereunder to, any person or entity whether now existing or hereafter established which directly competes with (or proposes or plans to directly compete with) the Company ("Direct Competitor") in the same or similar business. Nor shall you entice, induce or encourage any of the Company's other employees to engage in any activity which, were it done by you, would violate any provision of the Confidential Information Agreement or this Section 7. As used in this Agreement, the term "any line of business engaged in or under demonstrable development by the Company" shall be applied as at the date of termination of your employment, or, if later, as at the date of termination of any post-employment consultation.
7.2 For a period of one (1) year after the termination of your employment with the Company, the provisions of Section 4.2 shall be applicable to you and you shall comply therewith.
7.3 No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to preclude you from performing the same services which the Company hereby retains you to perform for any person or entity which is not a Direct Competitor of the Company upon the expiration or termination of your employment (or any post-employment consultation) so long as you do not thereby violate any term of this Agreement or the Confidential Information Agreement.
Processing of a Grievance It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the Employer that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall therefore be accomplished during normal working hours only when consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and a Union representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss of pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided that the employee and the Union representative have notified and received the approval of the designated supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the Employer.
New Employee Orientation The Union will provide each agency personnel director with the names and addresses of up to two (2) authorized Union representatives per agency to receive notice of each formal orientation meeting held by the Department. The notice will be sent as soon as such meetings are scheduled (but not less than ten (10) days in advance) and will include date, time and location. Due to operational exigencies, agencies may schedule an orientation which will provide the Union with less than the requisite ten (10) days' notice; however the Union shall be notified as soon as possible after the scheduling of the orientation and the Union representative shall be released from duty. Agencies shall routinely schedule orientations in a manner that will allow for the ten (10) day advance notice to the Union. During the formal orientation, the Union will be permitted to give a twenty (20) minute presentation which may include an enrollment in supplemental Union benefits. The parties shall encourage employee attendance, although attendance shall not be mandatory if an employee objects to attending the presentation. In the event a formal orientation meeting is not held, or the Union is unable to attend the formal orientation because the designated Union representatives cannot be released under Article 4, the Employer shall allow the Union representative and the employee(s) to meet during duty hours at a mutually agreed upon time and location for twenty (20) minutes Employee participation in these meetings shall be encouraged although an employee shall not be required to attend such a meeting.
Disability Separation A. An employee with permanent status may be separated from service when the Employer determines that the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of the employee’s position due to a mental, sensory, or physical disability, which cannot be reasonably accommodated. Determinations of disability may be made by the Employer based on an employee’s written request for disability separation or after obtaining a written statement from a licensed physician or licensed mental health professional. The Employer can require an employee to obtain a medical examination, at Employer expense, from a licensed physician or licensed mental health professional of the Employer’s choice. Evidence may be requested from the licensed physician or licensed mental health professional regarding the employee’s limitations.
B. When the Employer has medical documentation of the employee’s disability and has determined that the employee cannot be reasonably accommodated in any available position for which they qualify, or the employee requests separation due to disability, the Employer may immediately separate the employee.
C. The Employer will inform the employee in writing of the option to apply to return to employment prior to their separation due to disability. The Employer will provide assistance to individuals seeking reemployment under this Article for two (2) years. If reemployed, upon successful completion of the employee’s probationary period, the time between separation and reemployment will be treated as leave without pay and will not be considered a break in service.
D. A disability separation is not a disciplinary action. Disability separation at the employee’s request is not subject to the grievance procedure in Article 30.
Covenant Not to Solicit Employees The Executive agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or employ the services of any officer or employee of the Bank (including an individual who was an officer or employee of the Bank during the one year period following the Executive’s termination) for one year after the Executive’s employment termination.
Release of Employment Claims Executive agrees, as a condition to receipt of the termination payments and benefits provided hereunder, that he will execute a release agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Company, releasing any and all claims arising out of Executive's employment (other than claims made pursuant to any indemnities provided under the articles or by-laws of the Company, under any directors or officers liability insurance policies maintained by the Company or enforcement of this Termination Agreement).
