Excessive Workloads Sample Clauses

The Excessive Workloads clause is designed to address situations where an employee is assigned more work than is reasonable or manageable within their role. Typically, this clause outlines the process for employees to report excessive workloads to management and may require the employer to assess and redistribute tasks or provide additional support. Its core function is to protect employee well-being and productivity by ensuring workloads remain fair and sustainable, thereby reducing the risk of burnout and maintaining workplace efficiency.
