Seniority within Classification Clause Samples
The 'Seniority within Classification' clause defines how employees are ranked in terms of seniority within a specific job classification or category. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria used to determine seniority, such as length of service, date of hire, or accumulated work hours, and may specify how ties are resolved. It applies to situations like promotions, layoffs, or shift assignments, where seniority status affects decision-making. The core function of this clause is to ensure a fair and transparent process for determining employee precedence within a classification, thereby reducing disputes and promoting equitable treatment.

Seniority for purposes of layoff and recall shall be determined as the length of continuous service, from the date of permanent appointment to the classification listed in Schedule A.

Continuous service shall be broken and accrued seniority canceled, by resignation, dismissal, retirement, voluntary demotion, or movement to a classification not listed in Schedule A. However, seniority shall continue to accrue during layoff, disability retirement and approved leaves of absence.
