Red Circle Protection Clause Samples
The Red Circle Protection clause is designed to safeguard certain employee benefits, terms, or positions from being reduced or altered, typically during organizational changes such as restructuring or collective bargaining. In practice, this clause may apply to specific employees or groups, ensuring that their current pay rates, job titles, or other employment conditions are maintained even if broader changes affect others in similar roles. Its core function is to provide stability and assurance to affected employees, preventing disadvantageous changes and thereby addressing concerns about fairness and continuity during periods of transition.

Red Circle Protection. The 1981 settlement involves a complete revision of the wage scale in order to allow the Company to phase into a more competitive scale within the industry, and in order to provide for more appropriate differentials between categories. In order to reduce the impact of this change, all employees on the payroll as of the date of signing the agreement will receive a minimum adjustment of $1.00 in the first year and 95¢ in the second year of the agreement. Where the result of applying the guaranteed minimum adjustment is that an employee is paid more than the listed rate for his job, he shall receive "red circle" protection for the amount in excess of the listed rate. e.g. the 1981 Blender rate is $11.40 which is 65¢ more than the 1980 rate. An employee in the Blender category will receive a $1.00 adjustment to $11.75 and will therefore have a 35¢ red circle protection. In the second year the Blender rate is increased to $12.00, but the guaranteed minimum will now be $1.00 + 95¢ or $1.95. Since the category increase over the two years is $1.25, and the guarantee for the two years is $1.95, the incumbents will receive red circle protection of 70¢ ($1.95 - $1.25). Employees who are in receipt of red circle protection shall receive all subsequent negotiated increases and shall have the "red circle" amount added to the new rate. Again, using the Blender category, if the 1983 negotiated rate became $13.25, an incumbent with red circle protection would receive $13.25 plus 60¢. An individual's Red Circle Protection will be reduced or removed only if he receives a promotion. For example, a labourer shall have red circle protection of $1.00 in the first year of the contract, which would bring his rate to $11.53. If he was promoted to Plastics Take-Off at $10.83, he would continue to receive $11.53, but his red circle amount would be reduced to $11.53 minus $10.83---70¢. If, subsequently, he was promoted to Extrusion Operator at $12.08, the red circle amount would no longer apply since the new rate of
