Wage Maintenance Sample Clauses
A Wage Maintenance clause ensures that an employee's salary or wages are preserved at a certain level, typically during periods of organizational change, restructuring, or after a role modification. This clause may specify that the employee will continue to receive their current pay rate for a defined period, even if their new position or duties would normally warrant a lower wage. By guaranteeing income stability, the clause protects employees from sudden financial loss and provides reassurance during transitions, thereby supporting workforce morale and reducing resistance to change.
