Association Interest:The Association is interested in clarifying the memorandum of understanding, separatingsections that are not directly associated, and providing consistency in language. The associationviews “Call-In” as fair compensation for the undue disruption to an employee’s normal time off.By forcing an employee to drive sometimes more than two hours round trip to work is offset bythe four-hour minimum currently in place, however, forcing employees to stay the full four hourswhen only two or three is needed is just adding salt to the wound of being forced to work on yourday off. If the employee is no longer needed then we, the Town and the Association shouldensure those employees return to their days off as quickly as possible.

Proposal:The Association proposes to remove unnecessary and unenforceable language, separate “Call-in”from “On-Call” and remove the language holding employees over.


Article 25. ~Call-1n and “On CallIn” Compensation

Call-ins occur when unit membersemployees are off duty and are called in to work for anyreason, including but not limited to, training. A unit memberemployee who is called in to workshall receive a minimum of four (4) hours pay at one and one-half (1-1/2) the ~ni4member’semployee’s regular rate of pay, providing that this four (4) hour period does notoverlap into the unit member’ semployee’s regularly assigned shift. If a unit member is called inand the feur (1) heur minimum will net overlap into a regularly assigned shift, the unit membermay, at the watch commander’s discretion, be required to work the entire feur (4) hours or bereleased from duty when the reason fer the call in has been concluded.

Article New. “On-Call” Compensation

In addition, unit membe~sEmployees who are assigned when off-duty to be “on-call” for anidentified shift must be available to come in to work when requested to do so during that shift.Unit membersEmployces assigned to be “on-call” shall receive compensation equal to two hoursat the employee’s regular rate of pay of base salary for each 10-hour shift they are “on-call.” Thetime period when unit members are “eOn-call” hours shall not be considered as “hours Pi~worked” for purposes of calcula~jpgovertime._calguiption, unless they are called in as outiluedabove, in which case the heurs worked would be calculated as outlined above and would exclude

POA — Proposal 32Offered: May 4, 2016Subject: Article 32. Court Duty

Association Interest:The Association is interested in clarifying the memorandum of understanding, and providingconsistency in language. The association views Court Pay as fair compensation for the unduedisruption to an employee’s normal time off. By forcing an employee to drive sometimes morethan two hours round trip to court is offset by the four-hour minimum currently in place,however, forcing employees to stay the full four hours when only two or three is needed is justadding salt to the wound of being forced to work on your day off. If the employee is no longerneeded then we, the Town and the Association should ensure those employees return to theirdays off as quickly as possible.

Proposal:The Association proposes to remove the discretion to force and employee back to work aftertheir court appearance, and general clean up language.


I Article 32. Court~

When a unit membe~rnployee~ required to appear in court on behalf of the Town, the un-itmember shall be compensated at a—pay rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) the uni-tmembes~llpjoy~ regularly heui4y-rate of pay, with a minimum of four (4) hours, providingthat this four (4) hour period does not overlap into the unit member’s regularly assigned shift.
