Method of Layoff Clause Samples

The 'Method of Layoff' clause defines the procedures and criteria an employer must follow when reducing the workforce. Typically, this clause outlines the order in which employees may be laid off, such as by seniority, job classification, or performance, and may require advance notice or consultation with a union. Its core function is to ensure that layoffs are conducted in a fair, transparent, and consistent manner, thereby minimizing disputes and providing clarity to both employers and employees during workforce reductions.
