Gender Transition at Work Clause Samples

Gender Transition at Work. The Union and EarthRights agree to the following general transition policy to cover transgender Employees at work. Upon request by an Employee, EarthRights will update all Employee records and directories to reflect the Employee’s name and gender change. This may include, as applicable, name tags, work identification, email addresses, organizational charts, health-care coverage, and schedules. EarthRights will not destroy personnel records, but will make an effort to amend the relevant identification where possible, and will use the Employee’s preferred name and gender on all records going forward, except where otherwise required by law. This Article shall apply regardless of whether the Employee uses legal means to effectuate their transition. EarthRights and the Union recognize that all workers have these rights regardless of whether or not they have sought or completed surgeries. Such rights include the use of the bathroom of their lived gender. Health-care benefit coverage for transition-related costs and medical leaves of absence for transitioning workers will be provided/accommodated on the same terms as any other medical cost or leave. Upon request by an Employee, EarthRights will work with the Employee worker and, if the Employee requests, the Union to facilitate the transitional items set out in this Article based on the Employee’s particular needs.
