Common use of Retreat Rights Clause in Contracts

Retreat Rights. ‌ 1. An involuntarily reassigned rural carrier may exercise retreat rights when a vacancy occurs at the original office or in any office to which territory from the original office was transferred. If the route to which the carrier would retreat provides less compensation than the current guaranteed salary, the reassignment shall not be made unless the carrier agrees, in writing, at the time of assignment to terminate any guarantee during the guarantee period. Such an agreement by a rural carrier is irrevocable. Requests for retreat rights must be filed in writing at the time of reassignment. a. Acceptance or rejection of a vacancy in one (1) of the offices to which territory from the original office was transferred shall not forfeit the employee’s right to return to the original office when a vacancy occurs there. b. A rural carrier who is reassigned to an office to which territory from the original office was trans- ferred has retreat rights only to the original office, except that a rural carrier whose original office has no remaining rural routes shall have retreat rights to any other office to which territory from the original office was transferred. Such carrier may only exercise retreat rights one (1) time. 2. The rural carrier must exercise retreat rights to the first vacant route at the original office evaluated at forty (40) or more pay hours. Failure by the carrier to exercise this right to the first such vacancy waives his retreat rights to the original office.
