Seniority System Clause Samples
A Seniority System clause establishes the rules by which employees are ranked based on their length of service within an organization. Typically, this system determines the order of preference for promotions, layoffs, shift assignments, or other employment benefits, giving priority to those with longer tenure. For example, if a company needs to reduce staff, employees with less seniority may be laid off first. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear, objective method for making employment decisions, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring fairness in the workplace.
