Section 7. Any employee eligible to receive a dismissal allowance under Section 5 hereof may, at his option at the time of merger, resign and (in lieu of all other benefits and protections provided in this order) accept in a lump sum a separation allowance determined in accordance with the following schedule.

[[2 columned table]]
| Length of Service | Separation Allowance |
| --- | --- |
| 1 year and less than 2 years | 3 months' pay |
| 2 years and less than 3 years | 6 months' pay |
| 3 years and less than 5 years | 9 months' pay |
| 5 years and less than 10 years | 12 months' pay |
| 10 years and less than 15 years | 12 months' pay |
| 15 years and over | 12 months' pay |

In the case of employees with less than one year's service, five days pay, at the straight time rate per working day of the position last occupied, for each full month in which they performed service will be paid as the lump sum.

(a) Length of service shall be computed as provided in in section 5. 

(b) One month's pay shall be computed by multiplying by 30 the daily rate of pay received by the employee in the position last occupied prior to the time of the merger. 

Section 8(a). Any employee who is retained in the service of the carrier surviving the merger (or who is later restored to service from the group employees entitled to receive a dismissal allowance) who is required to change the point of his employment as a result of such merger and is therefore required to move his placed of residence, shall be reimbursed for all expenses of moving his household and other personal effects and for the travelling expenses of himself and members of his family, including living expenses for himself and his family and his own actual wage loss during the time necessary for such transfer, and for a reasonable time thereafter (not to exceed two working days), used in securing a place of residence in his new location. The exact extent of the responsibility of the carrier under this provision and the way and means of transportation shall be agreed upon in advance between the carrier and the organisation representing the employee affected. No claim for expense under this Section shall be allowed unless they are incurred within three years from the effective date of the merger, and the claim must be submitted within ninety (90) days after the expenses are incurred.
