Professional Year Clause Samples

The 'Professional Year' clause defines the period during which a professional, such as an employee or contractor, is considered to have completed a full year of service for the purposes of the agreement. This clause typically specifies the start and end dates of the professional year, and may outline how partial years are treated, such as prorating benefits or entitlements. Its core function is to establish a clear timeframe for calculating annual benefits, obligations, or milestones, thereby ensuring consistency and fairness in the administration of the contract.
