Common use of Maintaining Seniority Clause in Contracts

Maintaining Seniority. 1. A driver shall be considered a regular driver and maintain his/her seniority as long as he/she is available for his/her regular scheduled driving assignment. Frequent absences (as defined by the Excessive Absence Guidelines) may result in disciplinary action and a loss of full time status. A driver shall not accrue seniority during substitute driving status, but shall retain previously accrued seniority upon return to regular driving status. 2. Employees shall maintain seniority when injured on the job. For extended injuries and/or prolonged absence, the employer may request the employee visit a doctor of the employer's choice to determine readiness to return to work or for an alternative assignment during the injury related disability. For extended job related injuries, the employee shall maintain seniority for twelve (12) months from the date of the first day of absence due to the injury, or until accumulated leave is exhausted. 3. The employee shall accrue seniority during an approved sick leave of six months or less, or until accumulated leave is exhausted. Thereafter, the employee shall not accumulate seniority but shall retain previously accrued seniority. If the employee is unable to work after one full year of approved medical leave, or after accumulated leave is exhausted they will be dropped from the seniority list. If the employee is rehired in a subsequent period after a medical leave, the previously accrued seniority date will be his/her seniority date. 4. Termination of employment, either through resignation or firing, shall result in termination of seniority. A driver who requests to have their hours reduced to less than 10 hours per week, or to relinquish all hours to be on sub status shall forfeit all seniority.
