Temporary Reduction in Work Hours Clause Samples

A Temporary Reduction in Work Hours clause allows an employer to decrease an employee’s scheduled working hours for a defined period without terminating employment. This clause typically outlines the conditions under which hours may be reduced, such as during periods of decreased business demand or financial hardship, and may specify how pay, benefits, and job status are affected during the reduction. Its core function is to provide flexibility for employers to manage workforce costs while retaining employees, thereby avoiding layoffs and maintaining operational continuity during temporary downturns.
Temporary Reduction in Work Hours. The Employer may temporarily reduce the work hours of an employee to no less than twenty (20) hours per week due to an unanticipated loss of funding, revenue shortfall, lack of work, shortage of material or equipment, or other unexpected or unusual reasons. Employees will normally receive seven (7) days notice of a temporary reduction in hours.
