Item R2 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY * Time Certain: 2 :30 p.m. Meeting Date: December 16. 2009 (Marathon) Bulk Item: Yes No X Division: County Attorney Department: County Attorney Staff Contact Person: Cynthia L. Hall x 3174 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval and ratification of collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local Union No. 769; and resolution of impasse as to five (5) clauses. ITEM BACKGROUND: The current collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters ended on September 30, 2009. The negotiating team has reached tentative agreement with the union on all clauses in the agreement with the exception of the following clauses: 21.2 (probationary period); 23.5 (discipline "look back" period); 25.6 (time period for layoff recall); 28.4 (payout of unused sick leave); and 30(c)(1) (payout of excess annual leave). Union and management are at impasse as to those five clauses. Under Section 447.403, F.S., where a public employer and bargaining agent are at impasse, the legislative body must conduct a public hearing to resolve the disputed issues. Union and management have agreed to waive appointment of a Public Employees Relations Commission special magistrate to make recommendations. Union and management are asking that the Board of County Commissioners (a) decide whether to accept the union version or management version of the five impasse clauses; and then (b) approve and ratify the final version of the collective bargaining agreement as a whole. During the time period between when impasse is declared and when the BOCC meets to hear and resolve the impasse, neither side is allowed to engage in ex parte communication with the Commissioners.

Hall, Assistant County Attorney (!1f FROM: THRU: Suzanne A. Hutton, County Attorney; Roman Gastesi, County Commissioners DATE: December 1,2009 SUBJECT: Proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement with Teamster's Local Union No. 769 The current collective bargaining agreement between Monroe County and Teamster's Local Union No. 769 expired on September 30, 2009. That agreement ran for three years. During that time period, under paragraph 32 of the collective bargaining agreement, employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement received 3%~ COLA in October 2007 and 4.1 % COLA in October 2007. During the same time period, County non-union employees did not receive any COLA increases. Neither union members nor non-union employees received merit increases during either of those years or in the current year. The County and Union have been negotiating a new agreement since April 2009. The County and Union have reached tentative agreement on a new, one-year collective bargaining agreement with the exception of five clauses outlined below. The agreement offers the Teamsters 0% COLA and no merit increase, the same as was given to non-union employees. The five clauses as to which Union and Management are at impasse are the following: 21.2 (length of probationary period); 23.5 (time period that the County can "look back" for purposes of imposing discipline); 25.6 (time period during which laid-off employees will be automatically notified of open positions); 28.4 (payout of unused sick leave); and 30(c)(l) (payout of excess annual leave). The County's position and the Union's position on each of these impasse clauses is outlined below. Article 21.2: Probationary Period The current CBA provides that the length of the probation period for Teamster's employees will be 12 months, which is the same as County non-union employees. The union has proposed a reduction, to 9 months. The County has proposed keeping the probationary period at 12 months, believing this to be a fair period of time for a new employee to show that he or she can perform the position. 1 Article 23.5: "Look Back" Period for Purpose of Imposing Discipline The current CBA provides that the period of time in the employee's history that will be considered for purposes of imposing discipline is 5 years. The County has proposed keeping it at 5 years. The Union has proposed reducing it to 3 years. With County non-union employees, all history back to the first date of hire is considered. Article 25.6: Period of Re-Hire Preference for Layoff The current CBA provides that laid-off employees will be eligible for re-hire into a position for a period of three years. As part of the bargaining process, the County already agreed to send an e-mail to those employees, and the Union business representative, notifying them of open positions. The County has proposed that the time period for rehiring (and notification) should be one year, rather than three years, because it is onerous for the County to have to keep track of the employee and notify the employee after that time period. The Union has proposed to keep the three-year time period. Article 28.4: Payout of Unused Sick Leave The current CBA provides that each year, employees who have accumulated more than 480 hours of sick leave will receive a payout of sick leave in excess of 480 hours, up to 52 hours payout. County non-union employees used to have the same benefit, however, in February 2008, the BOCC voted to do away with this clause. Now, for County non-union employees, excess unused sick leave simply accumulates. The County has proposed also eliminating this payout paragraph (paragraph 28.4(A) in the current agreement). The Union wishes to keep the payout clause, so that union members would continue to receive this annual payout of excess sick leave. Article 30(c)(1): Payout of Annual Leave (Vacation) Currently, the CBA provides that annual leave may be accumulated up to 40 working days and that any time in excess ofthis amount will be paid out to the employee annually. County non-union employees used to have this benefit as well, however, it was also modified in February 2008 as part of budget cuts. Now, for County non-union employees, excess annual leave is rolled over into the employee's sick leave and is not paid out. The County has proposed making the same change for Teamsters. More specifically, the language proposed by the County proposed to treat the Teamsters the same, and if a change is made for County non-union employees, the same change would apply. The Teamsters have proposed keeping the currentabenefit. 2 CONTRACT BETWEEN MONROE COUNTY AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION NO. 769 T ABLE OF CONTENTS Article I Recognition Article 2 Intent and Purpose Article 3 General Article 4 Non-Discrimination Article 5 Correspondence Article 6 Bulletin Boards Article 7 Management Rights Article 8 Subcontracting Article 9 Availability Article 10 Safety Article 11 Union Representation & Access Article 12 Payroll Deduction, Union Initiation Fees and Union Dues Article 13 No Strike - No Lockout Article 14 Outside Employment Article 15 Attendance and Punctuality Article 16 Hours of Work Article 17 Overtime Article 18 On-Call/Standby Article 19 Call Back Article 20 Temporary Assignments Article 21 Probationary Period Article 22 Promotions - Job Openings - 1 - Rev. 10/6/09 Pae:e No. 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 5 5 5 6 8 8 9 9 10 11 12 12 13 13 14 1 Paee No. 2 3 Article 23 Discipline IS 4 5 Article 24 Grievance and Arbitration 16 6 7 Article 25 Separations 19 8 9 Article 26 Insurance 20 10 11 Article 27 Leaves of Absence 21 12 13 Article 28 Paid Sick Leave 24 14 15 Article 29 Holidays 26 16 17 Article 30 Annual Leave 27 18 19 Article 31 Uniforms, Tools and Equipment 28 20 21 Article 32 Remuneration 29 22 23 Article 33 Entire Agreement 29 24 25 Article 34 Printing Agreement 30 26 27 Article 35 Savings Clause 30 28 29 Article 36 Duration of Contract 31 30 31 Attachment A - 2 - Rev. 10/6109 I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 3.1 26 27 28 29 3.2 30 31 32 3.3 33 34 35 36 3.4 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 4.1 44 45 46 47 ARTICLE 1 RECOGNITION Monroe County (the "County") recognizes Teamster Local Union #769 affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the "Union") as the exclusive bargaining agent for PERC purposes for the employees in the unit designated by the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) in the PERC certification dated April 7, 1995, a copy of which is attached.

Employees, who report for work in a condition deemed not fit for 35 work, whether for illness or any other reason, will not be allowed to work. 36 37 15.5 Employees are expected to report to their supervisor after being late or absent, giving an 38 explanation of the circumstances surrounding their tardiness or absence, and certify that 39 they are fit to return to work. 40 41 15.6 Employees who are absent from work for three consecutive workdays without giving any 42 notice to the County will be considered as having "abandoned their position" and thereby 43 voluntarily quit. 44 - 11 - Rev. 10/6/09 ] ARTICLE 16 2 3 HOURS OF WORK 4 5 16.1 The workweek shall start at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and end at 12:00 midnight Saturday, 6 unless otherwise approved by the County Administrator. The County shall not 7 indiscriminately change regularly scheduled working hours and days off of employees 8 covered by this Agreement. Changes shall be made by reason of operational necessity 9 and/or efficiency. Such changes require at least five working days notice to the affected IO employees except in the case of valid public necessity, such as equipment failure, 11 unanticipated employee absences, and the like. Employees' regular work schedules shall 12 contain two consecutive days off 13 14 16.2 Employees classified as regular full time will receive a total of one unpaid hour for 15 meal/rest period per work shift, the time and sequence of which will be determined by the 16 Supervisor and approved by the Department Head. If it is necessary for the non-exempt 17 employee to work without a meal/rest period he/she will be otherwise compensated for 18 that time. All other employees will receive meal or rest periods in an amount and time 19 deemed appropriate by their Supervisor. Meal and rest periods shall be scheduled by the 20 Department Head consistent with the effective operation of the department and may be 21 rescheduled whenever necessary. 22 23 ARTICLE 17 24 25 OVERTIME 26 27 17.1 It is the policy of the County to work its employees within the regularly scheduled 28 workweek unless conditions warrant. 29 30 17.2 Management may schedule overtime beyond the standard hours when it is in the best 31 interest of the County and is the most practical and economical way of meeting workloads 32 or deadlines. 33 34 17.3 Employees may be required to work overtime when requested by management unless 35 excused by management. Employees may volunteer to work overtime and should 36 communicate that interest to their supervisors. Overtime will only be scheduled for those 37 employees fully qualified to perform the work required. In all work units, the County will 38 make reasonable efforts to equalize overtime among employees who are similarly 39 classified, except as addressed in Section 17.4 below. All other factors being the same, 40 seniority may be used as a selection factor. 41 42 17.4 For overtime computation, only time worked shall be considered as time worked. 43 Absences from work will not be counted as time worked for overtime computation. 44 " ]2 - Rev. 1O/6!O9 1 2 ARTICLE 18 3 4 ON-CALL/ST ANDBY 5 6 On-call duty assignments occur when a supervisor expressly orders that an employee 7 perform a certain function. These assignments are made when a supervisor mandates that 8 an employee be available for work due to an urgent situation during off-duty time. Such 9 assignments will be given to the employees who normally perform the work during 10 normal hours of work. For employees on a standby status, one hour of pay at time and 11 one-half will be paid for each regular workday. Two hours of pay at time and one-half 12 will be paid for each non-work day and holidays. On-call hours shall be in addition to 13 time worked. 14 15 16 ARTICLE 19 17 18 CALL BACK 19 20 19.1 Call back is work due to an emergency or other urgent situations during off-duty hours. 21 Callback pay shall be paid to employees either called during off duty hours or called back 22 to a work site during off duty hours. This pay shall be as follows: (a) one hour paid for 23 employees called on the phone (or the actual time spent on the phone calls, whichever is 24 greater) during off duty hours when the problem is resolved over the telephone and does 25 not require the employee to report to a job site, or (b) two hours of payor the actual time 26 worked, whichever is greater, for an employee called back to a work site during off duty 27 hours. This time shall be considered as time worked for computing overtime. The call or 28 call back of any employee requires the prior approval of the department head or designee. 29 30 19.2 The parties agree that when an employee is regularly scheduled to come to a County 31 building in order to open and close the building for a third party is not "call back" as that 32 term is defined in the previous paragraph, but that the employee who is called to work for 33 the purpose will be entitled to a minimum of two (2) hours or actual time worked, 34 whichever is greater, computed from the time the employee arrives at the County building. 35 36 ARTICLE 20 37 38 TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENTS 39 40 20.1 The County may temporarily assign or appoint any employee to perform work, which 41 would normally be done by an employee in another classification, when at the discretion 42 of the County such an assignment, or appointment is necessary. 43 44 20.2 An employee temporarily assigned to perform work outside his normal classification shall 45 suffer no loss of pay should said temporary assignment be to a lower classification. 46 - 13 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 20.3 An employee may be assigned to work in a higher classification up to one year, unless 2 otherwise determined by the County Administrator. An employee required to work in a 3 higher classification 30 consecutive working days or less may be required to do so at no 4 increase in pay. If the employee is required to work beyond this period, he or she should 5 be given a temporary transfer to the higher classification and be paid the appropriate rate 6 for the higher classification retroactively applied to day one he or she served in such 7 higher classification and every consecutive working day thereafter. At the conclusion of 8 the assignment, pay shall revert to the authorized rate established for his regular position. 9 Any such temporary increase granted shall not affect the employee's eligibility for normal 10 salary advancement. 11 12 ARTICLE 21 13 14 PROBATIONARY PERIOD 15 16 21.1 The probationary or "working test" period is an integral part of the hiring and promotion 17 process. It is utilized to closely observe the new employee's work, to secure the most 18 effective adjustment of a new employee to the position, and to reject any employee whose 19 performance does not meet the required work standards. Probationary employees are 20 generally ineligible for employee requested transfers or promotions unless the County 21 Administrator or Division Director determines that it is in the best interest of the County 22 to waive this rule. Probationary employees who are permitted to transfer or promote shall 23 have their new probationary period run concurrent with their existing probationary period. 24 25 21.2 COUNTY VERSION: 26 27 The probationary period shall be twelve consecutive months from the employee's first 28 day of work with the County. If the employee has completed the probationary period, the 29 employee shall be placed on regular status. The County reserves the right to extend the 30 probationary period for up to three months. Such a decision shall be made at least two 31 weeks before the end of the initial probationary period, and notice shall be provided to 32 both the employee and the Union representative. 33 34 21.2 UNION VERSION: 35 36 The probationary period shall be nine consecutive months from the employee's first day 37 of work with the County. If the employee has completed the probationary period, the 38 employee shall be placed on regular status. The County reserves the right to extend the 39 probationary period for up to three months. Such a decision shall be made at least two 40 weeks before the end of the initial probationary period, and notice shall be provided to 41 both the employee and the Union representative. 42 43 44 21.3 Regular status denotes final appointment in a specific County position and classification 45 following successful completion of the probationary period. 46 - 14 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 21.4 Newly hired probationary employees may be dismissed at any time at the discretion of the 2 County and are not entitled to the Career Service procedures or payments of sick leave at 3 time of termination. 4 5 21.5 If an employee who is serving a probationary period incurred as a result of a promotion is 6 found to be unqualified to perform the duties of the higher position, a good faith effort 7 will be made to return the employee to the position and status held immediately prior to 8 the promotion. If the employee's former position is filled or otherwise unavailable, the 9 employee may be transferred to a vacant position for which the employee qualifies. If no 10 vacancy exists for which the employee is qualified, the employee will be placed in a lay- 11 off status with recal.1 rights. 12 13 14 ARTICLE 22 15 16 PROMOTIONS - JOB OPENINGS 17 18 22.1 In filling all vacancies in the bargaining unit, employees shall meet the qualification 19 standards of education, training, experience, and other requirements for the position to 20 which the promotion is being sought. Standards and qualifications will be established to 21 meet the basic requirements ofthe position. 22 23 22.2 Job openings will be posted on the employee bulletin boards a mllllmUm of seven 24 calendar days. Employees, excluding temporary and all probationary employees, may 25 initiate a written request for transfer/promotion consideration. 26 27 22.3 An employee's eligibility for promotion will be determined by the requirements of the 28 new job. In addition, the employee must have both a satisfactory performance record and 29 no disciplinary actions (written warning or greater) during the preceding three-month 30 period. Employees along with external applicants will be considered. All things being 31 equal, and if consistent with affirmative action plans, senior employees shall have 32 preference, but there will be no guarantee of promotion. Current employee candidates for 33 promotion will normally be screened and selected on the basis of attendance and work 34 records, performance appraisals, and job-related qualifications induding, in some 35 instances, aptitude tests. Seniority will prevail if two or more candidates are judged to be 36 equally qualified. 37 38 22.4 Promoted employees shall receIve a 5% raise or the mllllmUm of the new grade, 39 whichever is greater. 40 41 22.5 Promoted employees will be placed on "promotion probation" status for a period of three 42 months. 43 44 22.6 The County agrees to post management vacancies and will gIve bargaining unit 45 employees consideration in filling those vacancies. 46 22.7 The County will notify the Union of every job opening by sending an e-mail to the 47 Business Representative at the time that the job opening is advertised internally. - 15 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 2 ARTICLE 23 3 4 DISCIPLINE 5 6 23.1 No employee covered by this Agreement shall be disciplined or discharged without 7 proper cause. All discipline or discharge notices shall be in writing with a copy provided 8 to the employee. Such notices shall contain as complete and precise an explanation as 9 possible for the action being taken. 10 11 23.2 The County agrees with the tenets of progressive and corrective discipline; however, the 12 County has the right to review the employee's work history and prior record of 13 disciplinary action when determining the appropriate action to be taken. The County may ]4 provide employees with notice of deficiencies and an opportunity to improve. 15 Notwithstanding the County's embrace of progressive and corrective discipline, the 16 County reserves the right to discipline employees for cause when the County deems it to 17 be appropriate. 18 19 23.3 Disciplinary actions or measures may include, subject to the rules of the Board of County 20 Commissioners, any of the following: 21 A. Oral warning 22 B. Written reprimand 23 C. Suspension 24 D Demotion 25 E. Discharge 26 27 23.4 All discipline in the form of adverse employment action must be processed exclusively 28 through the grievance-arbitration procedure herein. The Union waives the right of all 29 bargaining unit members to utilize the Career Service Act procedures for any purpose. 30 3] 23.5 COUNTY VERSION: 32 33 Disciplinary actions older than 5 years shall not be considered for purposes of progressive 34 discipline. 35 36 23.5 UNION VERSION: 37 38 Disciplinary actions older than 3 years shall not be considered for purposes of progressive 39 discipline. 40 41 ARTICLE 24 42 43 GRIEV ANCE AND ARBITRATION 44 45 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 46 - 16 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 24.1 24.2 24.3 24.4 Except when doing so would present an unreasonable risk to the employees' safety, bargaining unit employees will follow all written and verbal orders given by superiors even if such orders are alleged to be in conflict with the Agreement. Compliance with such orders will not prejudice the right to file a grievance within the time limits contained herein, nor shall compliance affect the ultimate resolution of the grievance. A "grievance" is a claimed violation of an express provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding that definition, discipline in the form of an adverse employment action shall be subject to the grievance-arbitration procedure set forth herein. No grievance will or need be entertained or processed unless presented in the maimer described herein, and unless filed in a malUler provided herein within the time limit prescribed herein. A grievance may be filed by a bargaining unit employee or by the Union (hereinafter the "grievant"). In either case, the procedure to be followed will be the same. The Union and management may mutually agree to waive any step. Any employee covered by this Agreement must use this grievance process and has no right to any other grievance process (i.e., administrative policy, etc.). Any grievance, defined as a claim reasonably and suitably founded on a violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall systematically follow the grievance procedure as outlined herein. Any grievance filed shall refer to the provision or provisions of the Agreement alleged to have been violated, and shall adequately set forth the facts pertaining to the alleged violation. Rules of Grievance Processing: (A) The time limitations set forth in this Article are the essence of the Agreement. A grievance not advanced to the higher step by the Union or the grievant within the time limit provided shall be deemed permanently withdrawn and as having been settled on the basis for the decision most recently given. Failure on the part of the County's representative to answer within the time limit set forth in any step will entitle the employee to proceed to the next step. The time limit at any stage of the grievance procedure may be extended by written mutual agreement of the parties involved in that step. (B) A grievance presented at Step 2 and above shall be dated and signed by the aggrieved employee presenting it. A copy of the grievance must be forwarded to Human Resources by the grievant and/or the Union. The departmental fax machine will be made available for this purpose. A decision rendered shall be written to the aggrieved employee with copy to the Union and shall be dated and signed by the County's representative at that step. (C) When a written grievance is presented; the County's representative shall return a dated and signed copy of it at that particular step. (0) When a grievance is reduced to writing there shall be set forth: Rev. 10/6/09 - 17 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ]7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 1. A complete statement of the grievance and the facts upon which it is based; 2. The section or sections of this Agreement claimed to have been violated; 3. Any witnesses to the event or occurrence; and 4. The remedy or correction requested. (F) In the settlement of any grievance resulting in retroactive adjustment, such adjustment shall be limited to ten calendar days prior to the date of the filing of the grievance. STEPS FOR GRIEVANCE PROCESSING Step I: In the event a grievance arises, the employee must present a written grievance using the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B to his immediate supervisor within three working days after the employee had knowledge of the event or occurrence giving rise to the grievance. The aggrieved employee may request a representative of the Union to be present. Discussions will be informal for the purpose of settling differences in the simplest and most direct manner. The supervisor will consult with the department head. The department head shall reach a decision and communicate it in writing to the aggrieved employee with a copy to the Union within ten working days from the date the grievance was presented to the supervisor. Step 2: If the grievance is not settled in the first step, the aggrieved employee, within five working days, shall forward the written grievance to the division director. The division director shall meet with the aggrieved employee, who may be accompanied by a Union steward and the Union chief steward. Within ten working days after the receipt of the grievance, unless such time is mutually extended in writing and the grievance is not resolved, the grievance may then be forwarded to Step 3. Step 3: Ifthe grievance is not settled in Step 2, the Union has ten (10) working days from receipt of the Step 2 answer to submit a written appeal to the County Administrator or his designated representative. Within ten (10) working days thereafter, a meeting shall be held between the County Administrator (or designee), the Union Agent, the Shop Steward, and the grievant. The County Administrator shall provide his written answer within ten (10) working days following such meeting. The parties may be mutual written agreement extend the above timelines without loss of rights under this Article. Step 4: In the event that the grievance is not settled boarding Step 3, either party may submit the grievance to binding arbitration within ten (10) working days (or to a time period otherwise mutually agreed to by the Union and County) of the written response of the resolution board. A panel of seven (7) arbitrators will be requested from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The parties shall alternately strike names from the list until an arbitrator is selected. For the first arbitration following the implementation of this Agreement, the County shall strike the first name. Thereafter, the Union shall be required to strike the first name in the next arbitration - 18 - Rev. 10/6109 1 case. For subsequent arbitrations, the parties shall continue to alternate. Both parties shall have 2 the right to reject one panel, and request another from which the arbitrators must be chosen using 3 the above-prescribed procedure. Hearings before the arbitrators shall be conducted in accordance 4 with the rules of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The Union and the County 5 shall each pay l;i of the Arbitrator's fees and expenses. 6 7 24.5 As promptly as possible after the arbitrator has been selected, the arbitrator shall conduct 8 a hearing between the parties and consider the grievance. The decision of the arbitrator 9 will be served upon the Union and the County in writing. It shall be the obligation of the 10 arbitrator to issue his/her decision within 60 calendar days after the close of the hearing to 11 include receipt of post-hearing briefs. Any party desiring a transcript of the hearing shall 12 bear the cost of such transcript unless the parties mutually agree to share the cost. Each 13 party shall bear the expense of its own witnesses and of its own representatives for 14 purposes of the arbitration hearing. 15 16 24.6 The jurisdiction and authority of the arbitrator and his opmlOn and award shall be 17 confined exclusively to the interpretation and/or application of the express provision(s) of 18 this Agreement. He shall have no authority to add to, detract from, alter, modifY, amend 19 or modifY any provision of this Agreement; or to establish or alter any wage rate or wage 20 structure. No liability shall be assessed against the County for a date prior to the date of 21 the grievance is submitted in writing, or, in disciplinary cases, from the date of the 22 discipline or discharge. 23 24 The arbitrator shall not hear or decide more than one (1) grievance without the mutual 25 consent of the County and the Union. The written award of the arbitrator on the merits of 26 any grievance adjudicated within his jurisdiction and authority shall be final and binding 27 on the aggrieved employee, the Union and the County, provided that either party shall be 28 entitled to seek review of the arbitrator's decision as provided by law. With respect to 29 arbitration involving the layoff, discipline or discharge of employees, the arbitrator shall 30 have the authority to order the payment of back wages and benefits the employee would 31 otherwise have received but for his discipline or discharge (less compensation, including 32 unemployment compensation payments and other compensation earned elsewhere during 33 the period attributable to the layoff, discipline or discharge in issue, and less any amounts 34 caused by the grievant's failure to mitigate his or her damages.) The arbitrator shall have 35 no authority to award compensatory or punitive damages or attorney's fees. 36 37 24.7 The arbitrator may not issue declaratory opinions and shall be confined exclusively to the 38 question, which is presented, which question must be actual and existing. 39 40 24.8 Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the presence of a Union representative at any 41 steps of the grievance procedure. 42 24.9 No claimed violation of any federal statute, state or local law, rule or regulation shall be 43 subject to the grievance-arbitration procedure. 44 45 - 19 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 ARTICLE 25 2 3 SEPARATIONS 4 5 25.1 The effective date of separation shall be the last day on which the employee is present for 6 duty unless otherwise specified herein. 7 8 25.2 Resignation is defined as an action whereby an employee voluntarily leaves County 9 employment.

Such notice must be given at least two weeks prior 12 to the date of separation. Employees who are absent from work for three consecutive 13 workdays without being excused or giving proper notice of their absence will be 14 considered as having voluntarily quit. 15 16 25.3 Retirement is defined as a voluntary or involuntary procedure whereby an employee 17 separates from County employment for reasons of length of service or disability. The 18 Florida Retirement System shall govern all retirement regulations and benefits. Neither 19 the employee nor the Union may use the grievance-arbitration procedures outlined in 20 Article 24 to address complaints concerning the Florida Retirement System. 21 22 25.4 Termination of employment shall be effective as of the date of death. All County 23 compensation and County benefits due to the employee as of the effective date of death 24 shall be paid to the beneficiary, surviving spouse, or the estate of the employee, as 25 determined by law or by executed forms in the employee's personnel file. 26 27 25.5 If a layoff does occur all temporary employees and newly hired probationary employees 28 within affected divisions will be terminated first. The only exception would be if the 29 temporary or newly hired probationary employee has a particular skill required to perform 30 certain duties and no one else employed by the County is qualified. Permanent 31 employees are to be laid off based on their length of continuous service, provided that the 32 employees who are retained have the demonstrated ability and fitness to perform the 33 available work. Laid-off permanent employees shall be placed in open positions for 34 which they are qualified. 35 36 25.6 COUNTY VERSION: 37 38 If an employee is laid off, the employee will be compensated for his sick and vacation as 39 if he were voluntarily quitting.

Any employee so recalled shall be 46 subject to passing a typical pre-employment screening. No continuous service benefits of 47 any kind shall accrue during the layoff period. The County will notifY said laid off - 20- Rev. 10/6/09 1 employee in writing via email of positions for which he/she may be qualified, with a copy 2 to Union, for a period of one year following the layoff date 3 4 25.6 UNION VERSION: 5 6 If an employee is laid off, the employee will be compensated for his sick and vacation as 7 if he were voluntarily quitting.

It can be mailed to the last 29 address designated by the employee. Final pay will be paid on a normally scheduled pay 30 period. 31 32 25.9 At the time of separation and prior to receiving final monies due, all records, books, 33 assets, uniforms, keys, tools, and other items of County property in the employee's 34 custody shall be returned to the department. 35 36 25.10 Any outstanding debts incurred by an employee, which are due the County, shall be 37 deducted from the employee's final paycheck and/or termination leave pay. 38 39 ARTICLE 26 40 41 INSURANCE 42 43 26.1 Bargaining unit employees will be eligible for coverage under the County's insurance 44 plans for all other similarly-situated personnel. The County reserves the right to change 45 insurance carriers or benefits or both, and the Union hereby expressly waives any right to 46 bargain over such a decision; provided, however, that the County will bargain with the - 21 - Rev. 10/6/09 ] Union over the effects of any change in insurance carriers or benefits, if the Union 2 requests that such bargaining occur. 3 4 5 ARTICLE 27 6 7 LEAVES OF ABSENCE 8 9 27.1 Jury Duty and Court Leave. 10 11 A A full-time employee who is summoned to jury duty by a city, the County (Monroe), 12 the State of Florida, or the Federal Government or subpoenaed to appear in court as a 13 witness in a criminal or civil action arising from his or her county emplo)1Tlent shall be 14 granted time off with pay for the time actually spent on jury duty or in the court 15 appearance.

Monroe County has established a Sick Leave Pool for eligible full-time employees 43 designed to aid the employee suffering from an extended illness or injury (See 44 Administrative Instruction 4702 for rules and enrollment procedures). 45 46 28.2 MEDICAL JUSTIFICATION 47 - 24 - Rev. 10/6/09 1 2 3 4 5 A. Sick leave is a privilege, and not a benefit. In fact, use of sick time actually causes a hardship on the County. The County must, therefore, ensure that employees utilizing sick leave are complying with The Monroe County Personnel Policies and Procedures. Employees must meet the following conditions in order to be granted sick leave with pay: 6 7 (I) Notify his/her immediate Supervisor as soon as the employee learns that 8 he/she will be Wlable to report to work in accordance with individual department 9 policy. The employee shall call in to his/her immediate Supervisor at least one (I) 10 time on each consecutive shift thereafter, that the employee will miss work 11 because of sick leave. 12 13 (2) File a written report (after returning to work) explaining the nature of the 14 illness when required, by her Supervisor or Department Head. 15 16 (3) Permit medical examination, nursing visit or any County inquiry (telephone 17 call, visit to the employee's house, etc.) deemed appropriate by the County to J 8 document the illness of the employee or family member. 19 20 The Department Head is responsible for following up on sick leave use and for ensuring 21 that there is no sick leave abuse. The Department Head may require any employee to 22 bring in a note from his or her personal physician for absences of three (3) consecutive 23 working days or more. However, if a Department Head reasonably suspects that an 24 employee is abusing sick leave, said Department Head may require that any use of sick 25 leave by the employee for herself or family member be justified by a note from a 26 physician. Further, in the event that a Department Head is Wlsatisfied with the initial 27 doctor's note, he may require the employee or family member to be examined by a 28 County - designated physician at the County's expense. 29 30 B. If it is determined that the employee is unfit to continue working, the Department 31 Head may require the employee to use any part of his accrued sick leave, compensatory 32 time or annual leave and may thereafter require the employee to take such leave without 33 pay as is medically determined sufficient to restore him to normal health, however, this 34 will in no way prevent the County from separating him from emplo}1llent if the absence 35 would be of such duration as to pose a hardship on the operations of the Department. 36 37 C. The Department Head may require, at any time, an employee to present medical 38 evidence that he is physically or mentally fit to work and/or the Department Head may 39 require an employee to be examined by a County-designated physician or psychiatrist, at 40 the County's expense. 41 42 D. If the employee's illness is covered by FMLA, the COWlty'S FMLA policy will govern 43 entitlement to leave and the terms and conditions of that leave. 44 45 28.3 NOTIFICATION OF ABSENCE 46 - 25 - Rev. 10/6/09 I If absent for three consecutive work days without reporting to the Supervisor a reason 2 sufficient to justity the absence, the employee may be removed from the payroll as having 3 voluntarily resigned without notice.
