Temporary Replacement Positions Clause Samples
The Temporary Replacement Positions clause outlines the procedures and conditions under which an employer may fill a role on a temporary basis when the regular employee is absent, such as due to leave or illness. Typically, this clause specifies the duration of the temporary assignment, the rights of the replacement worker, and the process for reinstating the original employee upon their return. Its core function is to ensure business continuity while protecting the employment rights of both the absent employee and the temporary replacement, thereby minimizing disruption and clarifying expectations for all parties involved.
Temporary Replacement Positions. Where the Employer requires to fill a position in order to replace an Employee who is absent due to a Leave of Absence Without Pay, Maternity/Parental/ Adoption Leave, Sick Leave or Long Term Disability then the position shall exist for the length of the Leave, to a maximum of thirty (30) months. In cases where the Employer is aware at the outset that the replacement will be for more than three (3) months, the position shall be posted in accordance with the collective agreement.
