VOLUNTARY CHARACTER Clause Samples

The 'Voluntary Character' clause defines that participation in an activity, agreement, or program is entirely optional and not mandated by any party. In practice, this means that individuals or entities are free to choose whether or not to engage, and there are no penalties or obligations imposed for declining participation. This clause ensures that all involvement is based on free will, protecting parties from coercion and clarifying that consent is a prerequisite for participation.

VOLUNTARY CHARACTER. TELEWORK is voluntary for the worker and the employer concerned. Teleworking may be required as part of a worker's initial job description or it may be engaged in as a voluntary arrangement subse- quently. In both cases, the employer provides the teleworker with relevant written information in accordance with directive 91/533/EEC, including information on appli- cable collective agreements, description of the work to be performed, etc. The specificities of telework normally require additional written information on matters such as the department of the undertaking to which the teleworker is attached, his/her immediate superior or other persons to whom she or he can address questions of professional or personal nature, reporting arrangements, etc. If telework is not part of the initial job description, and the employer makes an offer of telework, the worker may accept or refuse this offer. If a worker expresses the wish to opt for telework, the employer may accept or refuse this request. The passage to telework as such, because it only modifies the way in which work is performed, does not affect the teleworker's employment status. A worker refusal to opt for telework is not, as such, a reason for terminating the employment relationship or changing the terms and conditions of employment of that worker. If telework is not part of the initial job description, the decision to pass to telework is reversible by individual and/or collective agreement. The rever- sibility could imply returning to work at the emplo- yer's premises at the worker's or at the employer's request. The modalities of this reversibility are esta- blished by individual and/or collective agreement.

VOLUNTARY CHARACTER. Tele/distance/homework shall be voluntary for both the employee and the employer concerned. Tele/distance/homeworking may be required as part of the employee's initial job description, or the employee may subsequently be engaged in tele/distance/home- working as a voluntary arrangement. Agreements on tele/distance/homework shall be made in writing and in compliance with the rules in force from time to time on the employer's obligation to inform the employee of the terms of the employment relationship as prescribed in the Agreement. It is recommended to use the supplement to the employment contract drawn up by the parties to the Collective Agreement. At the same time, reference is made to the guide prepared by the parties to the Collective Agreement. If tele/distance/homeworking is not part of the initial job description, the decision to opt for tele/distance/homeworking is reversible by an agreement in writing between the employee and the employer or by local agreement. The reversibility may imply returning to work at the employer's premises at the employee's or at the employer's request. The specific terms of such return shall be laid down in the aforesaid written agreement and/or by local agreement. If an employee refuses to opt for tele/distance/homework, this shall not in itself be a reason for terminating the employment relationship or changing the terms and conditions of employment of the employee concerned. The shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇(s) shall be kept as fully informed of any dismissals of tele/distance- /homeworkers as possible in accordance with the provisions thereon of this Agreement.

VOLUNTARY CHARACTER. Telework is voluntary for the worker and the employer concerned. Telewor- king may be required as part of a worker’s initial job description or it may be engaged in as a voluntary arrangement subsequently.

VOLUNTARY CHARACTER. Telework is voluntary for the worker and the employer concerned. Teleworking may be required as part of a worker’s initial job description or it may be engaged in as a voluntary arrangement subsequently. The ETUC advanced the argument that not all persons are suited for telework. Many things can be learned, but it may turn out that certain workers are much happier (and much more productive), if they stay at the employers’ premises. Scientific literature on telework and all the pilot studies that social partners have carried out jointly agree that telework shall be introduced on a voluntary, negotiated basis. The employer’s side argued that the same may be said for companies. Not every company and not every department of a company may be suited for teleworking. There is no right as such to telework and there is no obligation to do telework. Telework can thus only be introduced by mutual agreement. Telework is always, no matter how it is introduced, voluntary for the worker. According to the framework agreement it is no longer possible (as has happened before), that an entire department is sent to telework, say at home. And it is no longer possible for a new company owner or new management to decide to call all teleworkers back to the premises. There needs to be agreement between the parties concerned. In both cases, the employer provides the teleworker with relevant written information in accordance with directive 91/533/EEC, including information on applicable collective agreements, description of the work to be performed, etc. The specificities of telework normally require additional written information on matters such as the department of the undertaking to which the teleworker is attached, his/her immediate superior or other persons to whom she or he can address questions of professional or personal nature, reporting arrangements, etc. If telework is not part of the initial job description, and the employer makes an offer of telework, the worker may accept or refuse this offer. If a worker expresses the wish to opt for telework, the employer may accept or refuse this request. Information to the teleworker according to directive 91/533/EEC has to be given, but this may not be enough. Telework is a kind of work organisation that normally requires additional information. There is an obligation for the employer to give this additional information in writing, such as information on the department the teleworker is attached to if he/she is working from home o...

  • Voluntary cancellation The Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of £1,000,000) of an Available Facility. Any cancellation under this Clause 7.2 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably under that Facility.

  • Voluntary Reduction The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

  • Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments (a) Any receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note. (b) Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, the term "Installment Due Date" shall mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date. (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in subsection (b) and meets the other requirements set forth in this subsection. Borrower acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment. (d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(e). (e) Except as provided in Section 10(f), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium shall be whichever is the greater of subsections (A) and (B) below:

  • Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments The Company may, upon not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Agents, terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments by an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 or any multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share. All accrued commitment fees to, but not including the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.

  • Voluntary Reductions The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time or from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations would exceed the Revolving Committed Amount then in effect.
