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:
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
