Negative Effects
There are some negative attributes associated with job rotation. Firstly, some positions within a company may not be eligible for rotation. There may be positions within a company that may be specialized due to technology or may require highly skilled workers. These positions may not fit the profile for rotation opportunities because of the costs involved to train the workers. Another problem faced by companies is that some employ unionized workers that may be resistant to job rotation due to standard union practices.
Furthermore, one other problem faced by companies is the possibility of having to pay incentives to workers for cooperation with the job rotation implementation which can lead to wage inequality. Finally, the utilization of Job Rotation may have the effect of reducing a workforce because of the cross-training involved; a company may not need to hire additional staff to cover positions and may possibly layoff current employees no longer considered necessary.
Laws, which require the issue of work passes to foreign workers, may place limits on the trade or occupation of foreign workers. The change of occupation of foreign workers for job rotation is subject to approval.

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or effects:
“Coming out, all the way out, is offered more and more as the political solution to our oppression. The argument goes that, if people could see just how many of us there are, some in very important places, the negative stereotype would vanish overnight. ...It is far more realistic to suppose that, if the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Consider what effects which might conceivably have practical bearings we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
