Seniority Shift Selection Clause Samples

The SENIORITY – SHIFT SELECTION clause establishes that employees' seniority will be a determining factor in the assignment or selection of work shifts. In practice, this means that employees with greater length of service are given priority when choosing preferred shifts or when shifts are assigned, often during scheduling periods or when new shifts become available. This clause ensures a fair and transparent process for shift allocation, rewarding long-term employees and reducing disputes over shift preferences.
