Past Benefits and Practices Sample Clauses
The "Past Benefits and Practices" clause defines how previous benefits, privileges, or workplace practices are treated under a new agreement. It typically clarifies whether any past informal arrangements or unwritten benefits will continue or be discontinued, and may specify that only those benefits explicitly stated in the current contract are enforceable. This clause serves to prevent misunderstandings or disputes by ensuring that only the terms and benefits expressly included in the new agreement are recognized, thereby providing clarity and limiting the employer's obligations to what is formally agreed upon.
Past Benefits and Practices. The City agrees to continue all existing practices and benefits during the term of this Contract.

If the Lodge disagrees as to whether a past practice or benefit does exist, the Lodge may file a grievance over the matter at Step 4 and take the question through the Grievance Procedure for a final and binding decision by an arbitrator as to whether or not a past practice or benefit exists. Nothing herein precludes the parties, through the Labor Relations Committee process, from discussing whether a past practice or benefit exists.
