Common use of Relocation of the Workforce Clause in Contracts

Relocation of the Workforce. Employees required to relocate as a result of a reduction of work in a location shall be transferred in inverse order using classification seniority, and may first select open and available position(s) at any location, or may displace less senior employees within their classification from existing positions using classification seniority, and such displaced employees shall follow the same procedure.

Employees who are forced to relocate or who are displaced in accordance with the above will be entitled to submit an application for preferential relocation, returning to the one location from which they were displaced, provided that such application is received not later than ten (10) days following the date of the actual relocation. Such application will be kept on file and will be utilized to return such employees to their displaced location, in order of classification seniority, if and when vacancies are to be filled. These applications will take precedence over the standing application procedure. All such applications for preferential relocation will cease to have any validity:
