Classification Dispute Sample Clauses

A Classification Dispute clause defines the process for resolving disagreements regarding the categorization or classification of goods, services, or information under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines the steps parties must follow if they cannot agree on how an item should be classified, such as referring the matter to an independent expert or following a specified dispute resolution procedure. Its core function is to provide a clear mechanism for addressing and settling classification disagreements, thereby minimizing delays and ensuring that contractual obligations are fulfilled without prolonged conflict.

It is further understood and agreed that when determining the appropriate rate, primacy must be given to the relationship between job classifications covered by this collective agreement and that such relativity must be maintained. 14.9.3 Each change in the rate established by the Employer either through the SRC or by a Board of Arbitration shall be retroactive from the time at which the matter was brought before the SRC. 14.9.4 No classification dispute shall be referred to arbitration without this process being exhausted. 14.9.5 Articles 14.4 (General) to 14.5 (Group Dispute) apply to a dispute under Article 14.9.
