Scope of Employment (a) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be responsible for the performance of those duties consistent with the Executive’s position as General Counsel, in addition to such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to the Executive by the Company. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently, and to the best of the Executive’s ability, the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. (b) The Executive agrees to devote the Executive’s full business time, best efforts, skill, knowledge, attention and energies to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and to the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company; provided that the Executive may (i) engage in charitable, educational, religious, civic and similar types of activities and (ii) serve on the board of directors of for-profit business enterprises, provided that in each case such service is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) prior to commencement thereof in the Board’s sole discretion and only to the extent that such activities are not competitive with the business of the Company and do not individually or in the aggregate inhibit, interfere with, or prohibit the timely performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, and do not create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. The Executive agrees to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices, and policies of the Company, as well as any applicable codes of ethics or business conduct, and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company. (c) The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. In connection with the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which the Executive or any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, and Executive’s employment with the Company will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person or entity. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive has returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.
Types of Employment 19.1 Employees under this Agreement may be employed in any one of the following employment categories: (a) full-time employment; (b) regular part-time employment; or (c) casual employment. 19.2 At the time of engagement an Employer will inform each Employee of the terms of their engagement, and in particular whether they are to be full-time, regular part-time or casual.
DISCIPLINE OF EMPLOYEES Section 1: All charges preferred by the Employer against its employees for violation of its rules or other offenses must be preferred within five (5) days after any such alleged violation or offense has been made known to the official or officials of the Employer or their designees. If the charges are not preferred within the time limits set forth herein, such alleged violation or offense shall be forever barred and extinguished, provided, however, that any violation of the rules pertaining to the mishandling of fares or mis-appropriation of the Employer's funds or property shall not come within the scope of the foregoing provisions of this Section. Additionally, any discipline meted out in other than fare violations must be begun within five (5) days of notification to the employee. Section 2: If any employee is charged with an offense involving the mishandling of fares, drunkenness, possession or use of an illegal substance or the misappropriation of the Employer's funds or property, neither such charges nor discipline meted out in connection therewith shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures provided for in this Agreement unless and until the grievance and/or demands for arbitration in such cases be accompanied by a signed authorization from the employee involved releasing the Employer and the Union to submit any and all information and facts pertaining to the case to whomever they may concern. Section 3: When the Employer disciplines an employee and/or places a written entry of the incident in the employee's file, the employee and Union involved shall be furnished a copy of the entry. An employee may examine and copy from his/her own employee file at any reasonable time. After thirty (30) months all materials pertaining to discipline in an employee's file will not be used for disciplinary purposes. Section 4: If, as a result of investigation or upon appeal, the discipline, suspension or dismissal of an employee is found to have been without just cause, his/her record of the alleged offense will be cleared, and if time has been lost, the employee will be paid for such loss of time by the Employer in accordance with the amount s/he would have received had s/he not been held from service.
Continuity of Employment This Option shall not be exercisable by the Grantee in any part unless at all times beginning with the date of grant and ending no more than three (3) months prior to the date of exercise, the Grantee has, except for military service leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the United States Government) been in the continuous employ of the Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof, except that such period of three (3) months shall be one (1) year following any termination of the Grantee's employment by reason of his permanent and total disability.
Period of Employment The “Period of Employment” shall be a period of three (3) years commencing on the Employment Commencement Date and ending at the close of business on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Employment Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement shall be automatically renewed, and the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for one (1) additional year on the Termination Date and each anniversary of the Termination Date thereafter, unless either party gives notice, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement and the Period of Employment (including any renewal thereof) of such party’s desire to terminate the Agreement or modify its terms. The term “Period of Employment” shall include any extension thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. Provision of notice that the Period of Employment shall not be extended or further extended, as the case may be, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not constitute “Constructive Termination” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Agreement.
Categories of Employment 2.3.1 Full-time A full-time employee is an employee who is employed for 37.5 or 40 hours per week. 2.3.2 Part-time A part-time employee is an employee who is regularly employed for less than the full-time hours as specified in clause 2.3.1.
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).
Termination of Employees Agent may in its discretion stop using any Retained Employee at any time during the Sale, subject to the conditions provided for herein. In the event that Agent desires to cease using any Retained Employee, Agent shall notify Merchant at least seven (7) days prior thereto, so that Merchant may coordinate the termination of such employee; provided, however, that, in the event that Agent determines to cease using an employee “for cause” (which shall consist of dishonesty, fraud or breach of employee duties), the seven (7) day notice period shall not apply, provided further, however, that Agent shall immediately notify Merchant of the basis for such “cause” so that Merchant can arrange for termination of such employee. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Sale Termination Date, Merchant shall not transfer or dismiss Retained Employees except “for cause” without Agent’s prior consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not have the right to terminate the actual employment of any Retained Employee, but rather may only cease using such employee in the Sale and paying any Expenses with respect to such employee.
Term of Employment; Termination (a) The “Term of Employment” shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until December 31, 2024; provided, that, should the Executive’s employment by the Company be earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(c), the Term of Employment shall end on the date of such earlier termination. The Company may extend the Term of Employment by an additional twelve months (“Additional Term”) pursuant to formal action by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at least 90 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment, unless the Executive notifies the Company of his or her decision to decline any additional term before at least 120 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment. (b) Subject to the payments contemplated by Sections 3(f) through 3(i), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Company: (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) in the event that because of physical or mental disability Executive is unable to perform, and does not perform, in the view of the Company and as certified in writing by a competent medical physician, his or her duties hereunder for a continuous period of three consecutive months or any sixty working days out of any consecutive six month period; (iii) for Cause (as defined in Section 3(d)) or Material Breach (as defined in Section 3(e)); (iv) upon the continuous poor or unacceptable performance of the Executive’s duties to the Companies (other than due to a physical or mental disability), which has remained uncured for a period of 90 days after delivery of notice by the Company to the Executive of such dissatisfaction with Executive’s performance, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the areas of dissatisfaction; or (v) for any other reason or no reason, it being understood that no reason is required. Executive acknowledges that no representations or promises have been made concerning the grounds for termination or the future operation of the Companies’ business, and that nothing contained herein or otherwise stated by or on behalf of any of the Companies modifies or amends the right of the Company to terminate Executive at any time, with or without Material Breach or Cause. Termination shall become effective upon the delivery by the Company to the Executive of notice specifying such termination and the reasons therefor (i.e., Section 3 (b)(i)-(v)), subject to the requirements for advance notice and an opportunity to cure provided in this Agreement, if and to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “termination,” as it relates to a termination of the Executive’s employment, shall refer to a termination of employment which constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). (c) Subject to the payments contemplated by Section 3(f) and 3(i), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Executive: (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) as a result of a material reduction in Executive’s authority, perquisites, position or responsibilities (other than such a reduction in perquisites which affects all of the Company’s senior executives on a substantially equal or proportionate basis), the relocation of the Company’s primary place of business or the relocation of Executive by any of the Companies to another office more than 75 miles from Boston, Massachusetts, or the Company’s willful, material violation of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case, after 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and its Board of Directors and the Company’s failure thereafter to cure such reduction or violation; or (iii) as a result of the Company’s willful and material violation of this Agreement, the Amended and Restated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), or any agreement between Executive and any of the Companies pertaining to awards made pursuant to the Incentive Plan or the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, in each case as such agreements or plans may be amended from time to time. (d) For the purposes of this Section 3, “Cause” shall mean any of the following:
Nature of Employment (a) The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive as a full-time employee in the position of Chief Operating Officer, or in such other senior executive position as reasonably determined by the President of the Company (the “President”) and Executive accepts such continued employment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the Term of this Agreement (as defined in Section 2 below). Throughout the Term, Executive will report directly to the President or such other senior officer(s) of the Company as designated by the President, and will perform and discharge well and faithfully such duties and functions consistent with his position as may be assigned to him from time to time by the President in his discretion in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business, including with respect to any business conducted by any affiliate of the Company (including any subsidiaries, parents, or other enterprises under common ownership or control with the Company) (each a “Related Entity”). Employee acknowledges that he has no entitlement or right to any specific title or role. If Executive is elected or appointed an officer or director of the Company, or any other Related Entity, during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will serve in such capacity without additional compensation. (b) During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive: (i) will devote 100% of his employment energies, interests, abilities and time to the performance of his duties and shall not, without the written consent of the President, render to others any service of any kind for compensation; (ii) will not render services to any business activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with any business conducted by the Company or any Related Entity; (iii) will observe and carry out such reasonable rules, regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the board of directors of any Related Entity, including but not limited to the published standard policies, practices and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time as applied to other senior executives of the Company; and (iv) do such reasonable traveling on a global basis as may be required in connection with the performance of such duties and responsibilities consistent with such traveling requirements prior to the execution of this Agreement. (c) Executive may serve on corporate, civic and/or charitable boards with the consent of the President, provided that the President may require Executive to resign any or all such board seats if he reasonably believes such board participation conflicts with Executive’s role with the Company or is otherwise too time-consuming or distracting to Executive. (d) Executive’s normal place of work will be at the Company’s primary office in the New York Metropolitan area unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. (e) Executive acknowledges that this Agreement contains non-competition and non-disclosure of proprietary information provisions, and Executive agrees to comply with these provisions. Executive understands that entering into and complying with these provisions is a condition to Executive’s continued employment and that failure to comply with the terms and conditions of these provisions may result in termination “for cause” under this Agreement and in other damages to the Company.
