Order of Bumping Sample Clauses
The "Order of Bumping" clause defines the sequence in which employees are displaced or reassigned during layoffs, reductions in force, or similar workforce adjustments. Typically, this clause outlines criteria such as seniority, job classification, or qualifications to determine which employees have the right to retain their positions or move into other roles when positions are eliminated. For example, a more senior employee may have the right to "bump" a less senior employee from a position for which they are qualified. The core function of this clause is to ensure a fair and transparent process for workforce reductions, minimizing disputes and clarifying employee rights during organizational changes.
