Seniority Right to Interview Clause Samples

The Seniority Right to Interview clause grants employees with greater seniority the priority or guaranteed opportunity to be interviewed for open positions or promotions within an organization. In practice, this means that when a vacancy arises, employees who have been with the company longer or hold higher seniority status are given the chance to interview before less senior colleagues or external candidates. This clause ensures that experienced employees are recognized and considered for advancement, helping to reward loyalty and reduce potential disputes over fair access to job opportunities.
Seniority Right to Interview. If the person currently filling the contracted position on a temporary basis was selected for this position through a posting/selection process, rather than seniority selection of a part-time employee or offer to a contracted employee on lay-off, and the person has satisfactorily performed in the position, the person shall have a right to a final interview to the position when it is open for a permanent employee.
