Common use of Security Responsibility Clause in Contracts

Security Responsibility. 8.01 It is understood that if a security clearance is required by an agency of the United States Government in order to perform work in the job classifications covered by this Agreement, such security clearance shall be a condition of continued employment with the Company. Such employees shall be subject to investigation for security clearance under regulations prescribed by the Department of Defense or any other authorized and appropriate agency of the United States Government. A denial, non-approved, or withdrawal of such clearance by such governmental agency shall be just cause for discharge or suspension without pay, provided, however, that if the employee diligently pursues an appeal to the appropriate agency of the Government for revocation of such denial or withdrawal and, if upon review by such agency, clearance is granted or reinstated, the employee shall be reinstated in accordance with his/her seniority. 8.02 It is understood that there shall be no liability, financial or otherwise, on the part of the Company for any discharge or suspension growing out of a denial, non-approval or withdrawal of a security clearance. However, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the individual from pursuing any legal remedy he/she may have against any person or organization outside the Company by virtue of his/her suspension under this clause. 8.03 Discharge or suspension because of denial, non-approval or withdrawal of a security clearance by the appropriate governmental agency shall not be subject to the grievance and/or arbitration procedure. 8.04 It is understood that an employee not able to obtain or retain a security clearance as may be required, shall be allowed to retain employment in such classifications which do not require said clearance in accordance with their abilities and seniority. The affected employee shall be laid off and allowed bumping rights as covered by this Agreement.
