Transfer to a Vacant Position Clause Samples

The "Transfer to a Vacant Position" clause establishes the right or process for an employee to be moved into an available job opening within the organization. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which such a transfer can occur, such as when an employee is unable to perform their current role due to disability, restructuring, or other qualifying reasons. For example, if an employee is medically unable to fulfill their current duties, the employer may be required to offer them a suitable vacant position for which they are qualified. The core function of this clause is to provide a mechanism for retaining employees by accommodating changes in their ability or circumstances, thereby reducing the need for termination and supporting compliance with employment laws or accommodation obligations.
