Application of the Criteria Clause Samples
The 'Application of the Criteria' clause defines how specific standards or benchmarks are to be used in evaluating performance, compliance, or eligibility within the agreement. In practice, this clause outlines which criteria are relevant, how they should be interpreted, and the process for applying them to particular situations or deliverables. For example, it may specify that certain industry standards must be met or that a set of requirements will be used to assess whether obligations have been fulfilled. The core function of this clause is to ensure consistency and transparency in how judgments or decisions are made under the contract, reducing ambiguity and potential disputes.

Whenever any unit member is being evaluated for tenure, such criteria shall be applied together with the applicable provisions of Articles IX and XX of this Agreement. In cases where consideration shall be given to the performance of a member of the bargaining unit during any prior review period when evaluating the unit member’s performance during the current review period, the then-applicable criteria as set forth in any predecessor agreement or agreements shall be applied only to the applicable review period or periods.
