Broken Seniority Clause Samples

The "Broken Seniority" clause defines the circumstances under which an employee's accumulated seniority is interrupted or reset, typically due to a break in service or specific disqualifying events. In practice, this clause may apply if an employee resigns and is later rehired, or if they are absent beyond an allowed period without approved leave, resulting in the loss of previously earned seniority status. Its core function is to ensure fairness and clarity in how seniority is calculated, preventing employees from retaining benefits or privileges associated with continuous service after significant interruptions.
