JOINT CONSULTATION Clause Samples

The Joint Consultation clause establishes a formal process for representatives of both parties—typically management and employees or their unions—to meet and discuss workplace issues collaboratively. This clause usually outlines the frequency of meetings, the topics that may be addressed (such as working conditions, policies, or grievances), and the procedures for raising and resolving concerns. Its core practical function is to facilitate open communication and cooperation, helping to preempt conflicts and ensure that both parties have a structured forum for input and problem-solving.
