locality clause

A locality clause is a contractual provision that requires employees to work within a specific geographic area or location as agreed upon in their employment terms. It ensures that workers remain available to serve the employer’s needs in a designated area, often to control commuting times or maintain service areas. This clause can specify the regions where employees must operate and may include conditions for changing work locations. Its purpose is to balance operational flexibility for the employer with clear expectations for employees regarding where they are expected to work.
