Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Side Letter Agreement modifies the work schedule with no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Teamsters MOU January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, which was adopted by Council on January 5, 2016, approved an alternate work schedule. The Teamster MOU represents employee classification in various departments and Article 19 Overtime/Compensatory Time/Work Schedule discusses the alternate work schedule for the different classifications.
DISCUSSION:
In an effort to clarify the alternate work schedule for the Maintenance employee classifications, the City and Teamsters agreed to better define the work schedules. The Public Works Maintenance employees classifications work a 4/10 alternate work schedule. With the new alternate closed Friday schedule beginning March 21, 2016, it was necessary to adjust the work schedules of employees working the 4/10 schedule. Through discussions between the Public Works Department and the Teamsters, the proposed Side Letter Agreement amends the current MOU to accurately reflect the schedules that will be worked by these employees and which ensures that services are provided in a consistent and uninterrupted manner to the residents.
The modification to Article 19 of the MOU, defines the two alternate work schedules for the Maintenance employees assigned to the Public Works Yard. The Side Letter addresses and defines work days and off days along with the rotation of employees through both alternate work schedules.
