Unexpected Closures Clause Samples

The "Unexpected Closures" clause defines the procedures and responsibilities that apply if a business or facility must close unexpectedly, such as due to emergencies, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events. Typically, this clause outlines notification requirements, obligations for both parties during the closure, and any adjustments to timelines or payments that may result. Its core practical function is to provide a clear framework for managing disruptions, minimizing confusion, and allocating risk when operations are interrupted by circumstances beyond the parties' control.
Unexpected Closures. The District, at its discretion, will determine whether schools need to be closed due to inclement weather or other emergencies. 10.7.1 When inclement weather requires schools to be closed, classified bargaining members will not be required to work. The lost days will not be charged against other paid leaves. The District may adjust the school calendar to make up for lost days. If, however, the District does not choose to make up lost days, classified bargaining unit members will not be monetarily penalized. 10.7.2 When other emergencies require that schools be closed, bargaining unit members will not be required to work unless otherwise notified. If they are not notified to work, the lost days will not be charged against other paid leaves. If bargaining unit members are not required to report to work, the District may adjust the school calendar to make up for lost days. If, however, the District does not choose to make up the lost days, bargaining unit members will not be monetarily penalized.

Staff with pre-arranged absences or while on protected leave (FMLA/OFLA) will have their scheduled leave deducted as if the workday was held in regular session. These days are considered a workday and staff are paid as such; all other pay and leave provisions should apply for inclement weather cancellations, shortened days and other emergency closures. Pre-arranged single day leave events that fall on the day of an emergency closure will be returned to an employee’s leave balance. Inclement weather days that occur when leave days are pre-scheduled during a multi-day leave event are not credited back to the employee.

The severance payment, so calculated, is inclusive of any severance payment required by the Ontario Employment Standards Act (Revised 2000). This agreement is not applicable to a sale of the business or if the closure is occasioned by a labour dispute.

  • Emergency Closure Where there is a temporary closure as a result of an immediate emergency or a planned temporary closure due to renovations, repairs, or moves, the Employer will: a) First offer to the affected employees the choice of taking either a vacation day or an unpaid leave of absence with no loss of seniority or benefits; thereafter, at the Employer's discretion, one of the following: b) Reassign staff to another location; c) Reschedule the lost hours within two (2) pay periods; or d) Decide not to do either (b) or (c), in which case employees shall still be paid for their regularly scheduled hours which they did not work as a result of the temporary layoff.

  • Recall from Layoff Full-time and regular part-time nurses shall be recalled in the order of seniority unless otherwise agreed between the Hospital and the local Union, subject to the following provisions, provided that a nurse recalled is qualified to perform the available work: (a) Full-time and regular part-time nurses on layoff may notify the Hospital of their interest in accepting occasional vacancies and/or temporary vacancies which may arise and for which they are qualified. Such notification of interest shall state any restrictions on the type of assignment which a nurse is willing to accept, and shall remain valid for six weeks. However if a nurse declines an occasional or temporary vacancy the Hospital shall not be obliged to call upon the nurse again during the balance of such six-week period. (b) For the purposes of this article, an "occasional vacancy" shall mean an assignment which is anticipated not to exceed five shifts (37.5 hours). Occasional vacancies shall be offered first to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses. (c) For the purposes of this article, a "temporary vacancy" shall mean an assignment which is anticipated to exceed five shifts (37.5 hours). Temporary vacancies which arise in the full-time bargaining unit shall be offered by seniority first to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then by seniority to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses. Temporary vacancies which arise in the part-time unit shall be offered by seniority first to regular part-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such part-time nurse accepts then by seniority to full-time nurses on layoff who have expressed interest, and if no such full-time nurse accepts then to casual part-time nurses. (d) A nurse to whom an occasional or temporary vacancy is offered may accept or decline such vacancy and in either case shall maintain her or his position on the recall list. The acceptance of a temporary vacancy that is anticipated to exceed sixty (60) calendar days shall be considered a recall from layoff for purposes of Article 10.06(c). No new notice of layoff will be required and the nurse will be deemed to be laid off at the conclusion of the temporary vacancy. A full-time nurse on layoff who accepts a temporary full-time vacancy within thirty (30) days of the effective day of layoff will continue to receive benefit coverage for the duration of the temporary vacancy. A full-time nurse who has worked for more than 600 hours in 140 calendar days as the result of accepting one or more temporary vacancies shall thereafter be eligible for benefit coverage as a full-time nurse and shall be paid accordingly, and shall continue to receive benefit coverage so long as she or he continues to fill a temporary vacancy and such full-time employee shall accrue seniority in the manner prescribed for full-time employees throughout the period of employment. Otherwise, a full-time employee who accepts a temporary or occasional vacancy shall be paid her or his regular full-time rate of pay together with a percentage payment in lieu of benefits at the rate specified for part-time nurses. A full-time employee who accepts a temporary part-time vacancy or occasional vacancies as provided herein will accrue seniority throughout the period of such employment in the manner prescribed for part-time nurses. A part-time employee who accepts a temporary or occasional vacancy will accrue seniority throughout the period of such employment in the manner prescribed for part-time nurses.

  • Layoffs Section 1. All employees will be laid off in line of least seniority and hired in reverse order. No employee will be hired by the City as long as there are employees laid off who have seniority. If employees are to be laid off, a thirty (30) calendar day written notice shall be given to the affected employee and the Union prior to the date that the services of that employee shall no longer be required. Section 2. Employees who are subject to layoff within their classification and who are qualified to perform duties of the next lower classification in declining sequence, may, in order at which they are laid off, occupy vacant positions of such lower classifications, or may displace employees who hold positions of such lower classifications. Section 3. An employee who voluntarily requests demotion or another position in order to remain in the classified service following a reduction in force shall be placed at a rate of the new classification pay range which ensures a five percent (5%) reduction in salary, unless a larger reduction is necessary for the officer to be placed in the highest step in the lower classification. Section 4. Where, by virtue of a reduction of the workforce, an employee takes a position in a lower classification in accordance with Section 2 and 3 hereof, and a reduction in force becomes necessary in such lower classification, such employee shall be credited with seniority earned in his classification. Section 5. Any employee who is laid off due to a reduction in work force and thereafter, within a period of four (4) years, reinstated to City service, shall, to the extent possible for purposes of all rights and benefits, be deemed to have been on leave without pay. Section 6. When the work force is increased after a layoff, employees will be recalled in reverse order of layoff. Notice of recall shall be sent to the employee at the last known address by registered or certified mail. If an employee fails to report for work within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of mailing of the recall notice, he shall be considered to have voluntarily terminated with the City. Section 7. When the work force is increased after a layoff, those persons who have voluntarily taken a lower classification as provided in Section 2 and 3 herein, shall have the option of occupying positions which open up in their former classification with no loss of seniority in that classification.
