Wage Rate Changes Clause Samples

The Wage Rate Changes clause establishes the procedures and conditions under which wage rates for employees may be adjusted during the term of an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines when wage increases or decreases can occur, such as in response to changes in law, collective bargaining outcomes, or cost-of-living adjustments, and may specify notice requirements or approval processes. Its core function is to provide a clear framework for modifying compensation, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring both parties understand how and when wage rates can be changed.
Wage Rate Changes. There shall be no change in the basic hourly wage rates set forth in Exhibit "A" to this Agreement, or in the clothing allowance set forth in Exhibit "A" to this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement.
Wage Rate Changes. 19.01 If a new job is created or the content of an existing job is substantially changed, the wage applicable shall be negotiated between the parties and in the event of a failure to reach agreement will be subject to the arbitration procedure as contained in this Collective Agreement. Any board constituted to deal with a dispute under this Article shall have the power to fix the wage rate. There shall be deemed to have been a substantial change in a job content only when there has been a substantial altering in the amount of responsibility to be borne or in the work load to be performed, or in the skill required. All wage rate changes shall be retroactive to the date of the first formal notification of the review of the job content.
