CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TITLE: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, COMPENSATION, AND SALARY ADJUSTMENTS - TEAMSTERS LOCAL 1932 PROFESSIONAL, TECHNICAL AND CLERICAL UNIT.
PAGE: 3
BACKGROUND
On June 30, 2025, the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with all City bargaining groups expired. In anticipation of this, designated City staff and labor representatives engaged in good faith negotiations regarding compensation, as well as terms and conditions of employment.
On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved MOUs with four (4) out of the six (6) bargaining groups. Negotiations were still in progress with the remaining two (2) groups, the Teamsters Local 1932 Professional, Technical and Clerical Unit (Teamsters) and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
Throughout the negotiation process, City representatives sought guidance and authorization from the City Council to respond to proposals, ensuring alignment with the needs of the broader eligible workforce and the City’s available resources. A tentative agreement has now been reached with the Teamsters Unit that includes a competitive salary and benefits package aimed at attracting and retaining highly qualified employees. Negotiations are ongoing with one (1) remaining group: AFSCME.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City’s negotiations team worked collaboratively with the Teamsters Unit to reach a fair and equitable agreement through open communication and good faith bargaining. Compensation and benefits were determined based on current economic conditions and a review of the group’s previous agreement.
A key focus of the negotiations process was refining the language in the agreement to improve clarity and ensure consistency. The team also prioritized developing a comprehensive Teamsters MOU, incorporating previously approved side letters to enhance transparency around salary and benefits.

15. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
A deferred compensation plan, 457(b), is available to all employees, providing tax-deferred savings to serve as a retirement supplement. An employee may contribute to the City's designated deferred compensation plan up to the maximum annual amount allowed by federal and state law through a payroll deduction program.
“Catch-up” Provision
Pursuant to federal and state law, employees attaining the minimum age of 47, who are within three (3) years of their planned retirement date, may take advantage of the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan "Catch-up" provisions and allowances as defined in federal and state law.
To the extent allowed by federal and state law and the City's deferred compensation plan administrator, the City will allow, during the three (3) years prior to an employee's planned retirement date, the conversion of accrued Sick, Vacation, Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion, Compensatory Time hours to cash contribution at the employee's base rate of pay in effect at the time of conversion. Leave conversion contributions for the "457 catch-up" shall normally be distributed over an employee's last three (3) years prior to their planned retirement date. However, based on the total amount of "457 Catch-up" contributions available to the employee, accumulated sick leave hours, and the employee's designated retirement date, "457 catch-up" contributions may occur over a shorter period of time prior to retirement. To be eligible to participate, the employee must be within three (3) years of their planned retirement date, have "457 Catch-up" privileges available to them, and be enrolled in the City-sponsored 457 Deferred Compensation Plan.
“Catch-up” - Sick Leave
Employees are not entitled to 100% cash-out of Sick Leave until completion of five (5) years of service with the City as the final employer and either a qualified service or disability retirement. The City will advance employees 47 years of age or older a cash-out of their accrued Sick Leave up to the indexed amount if they choose to utilize the “Catch Up” provision provided through the City’s 457 plan.

Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
12 In the event an employee separates for any reason other than service or disability retirement from the City prior to being eligible to receive 100% Sick Leave pay, said employee will be required to reimburse the excess amount of Sick Leave previously paid out. The reimbursement will be deducted by the City from any or all earned funds available to the employee on separation, without it being necessary for the City to seek a civil judgment for the monies.
In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of Sick Leave they want transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount can be a selected number of hours or a percentage of Sick Leave remaining at the end of the year. The employee’s Sick Leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.
The employee will continue to accrue Sick Leave hours at the normal rate while participating in this program.
“Catch-up” hours advanced will be counted for the employee’s Sick Leave bank for the Sick Leave Program calculation.
“Catch-up”– Vacation Leave
In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of Vacation Leave they want transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount can be a selected number of hours or a percentage of Vacation Leave remaining at the end of the year. The employee’s Vacation Leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.
The employee maintaining their Vacation Leave maximum would still be eligible for Vacation Leave incentives, such as Vacation Leave Conversion. The employee will continue to accrue Vacation Leave hours at the normal rate while participating in this program. “Catch-up”– Other Leave Banks
In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of other leave (this may be Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion and/or Compensatory Time) to be transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount must be a selected number of hours of leave. The employee’s leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.
“Age 50+ Catch-up”
In the calendar year an employee reaches age 50 (or older), they may contribute an additional amount over the normal maximum contribution limit (per the IRS limit). The “Age 50 Catchup” and “Pre-Retirement Catch-up” provisions may not both be used in the same calendar year.
Employees may use accrued Sick, Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion, Compensatory and/or accrued Vacation Leave hours to contribute this additional amount.
Contributions to the deferred compensation plan will be discontinued while an employee is receiving Workers’ Compensation payments.

23 Fourth Level 1959 Survivor Benefit – The City will pay all costs associated with this benefit.
38. SAFETY INCENTIVE FOR PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTORS
All Public Works Inspectors (PWI), upon completion of safety training, will be eligible for a safety incentive. For any three (3) month period, using the quarters of July – September; October – December; January – March; April – June, that all PWI as a group do not experience any workrelated illness or injury, except for that requiring first aid treatment, will qualify the group to receive one-half day off within thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter. Affected employees will receive paid time off equal to five (5) hours. This paid time off will be placed in a leave bank which may be used at a time of the employee’s choosing within a one (1) year period. Any hours remaining in this leave bank after a one (1) year period will be removed from the records without further consideration. This leave bank is not eligible to be converted to cash at any time. This incentive is tied to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Should any member of AFSCME experience a work-related illness or injury, PWIs will not be eligible for the one-half day off. Injuries that arise out of no-fault by the City employee will not affect this incentive. “No fault” will be determined by the Director of Human Resources/Risk Management after reviewing recommendations from the Deputy Director of Development Services and/or the Public Works Services Manager.
39. SALARY ADJUSTMENTS (Overpayment, Recovery, and Underpayments) All adjustments to an employee’s salary will be made at the start of the pay period in which the salary adjustment becomes effective.
A. Overpayments
1. In situations involving overpayment to an employee by the City, the employee shall be obliged to repay by payroll deduction the amount of the overpayment. The repayment shall occur within the same time frame the overpayment was received by the employee or sooner. For example, if the overpayment was made over the course of six (6) months, the employee shall be given six (6) months to repay the overpayment.
2. Written documentation showing the calculations of the overpayment will be provided to the employee. A meeting may be requested by the employee with the Human Resources/Risk Management and Finance Departments to review the documentation and to discuss the recovery schedule. The repayment schedule, biweekly repayment amount or alternative repayment method will be documented in writing.
3. Extensions to the period for repayment of the overage or an alternative prepayment method may be requested by the employee and are subject to the approval of the director of Human Resources/Risk Management or their designee. Extensions will be approved only in the case of extreme hardship, and the extended period for repayment will not be longer than one and one-half (1 ½) times as long as the overpayment period.
B. Recovery
If the employee leaves employment prior to the repayment of the overage, the City shall recover the amount owed from the employee’s final pay. If the amount owed is greater than the employee’s final pay, the City may initiate a collections process against the employee. 896
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027

In situation involving underpayment to an employee by the City, the employee shall receive the balance due within the next pay period for which the adjustment can be made, following timely submission of appropriate documentation and necessary approval of the compensation change.
40. SCHEDULE
Flexible Time Scheduling
The City shall establish work schedules as may be necessary for efficient and economical provision of services for the public and to make such adjustments in work schedules are required from time to time.

Employees assigned a 4/10 work schedule shall work four (4) consecutive workdays of ten (10) working hours each excluding the meal period, followed by three (3) consecutive days off.
Employees assigned a 9/80 work schedule shall work eight (8) workdays of nine (9) hours each, and one (1) day of eight (8) hours, exclusive of the meal period. The designated workweek shall begin exactly four hours after the start of the 8-hours shift on the day of the week that corresponds with the employee’s alternative regular day off.
Employees assigned to a 5/40 work schedule shall work a week of five (5) consecutive workdays of eight (8) hours each within a seven (7) day period and two (2) consecutive days off.
Permanent changes in an employee’s regular work schedule shall be communicated in writing to the employee at least ten (10) working days in advance of the implementation of such changes.

41. SEPARATION FROM CITY
At the discretion and approval of the Department Director, employees may be allowed to extend their last day of employment through the use of qualifying leave time for up to one (1) pay period beyond the last day the employee physically reports to work. 897
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
25 The approval of such an extension shall be subject to operational needs, departmental policies, and compliance with all applicable rules governing leave usage. The Department Director or designee shall be responsible for reviewing and granting requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure consistency and fairness in application.

42. SICK LEAVE
Upon hire, employees will be credited with thirty (30) hours or three (3) days of Sick Leave, whichever is greater, which can be used following the completion of ninety (90) days of continuous full-time employment. Following the 90th day of employment, for each calendar month in which the employee is paid for more than two-thirds (2/3) of the working days in such month, employees accrue ten (10) hours of Sick Leave per month to a maximum accrual of one thousand eighty (1,080) hours.
If an employee changes status (e.g. changes from full-time to part-time employment), or separates from this bargaining group, the employee will be subject to the new bargaining group’s MOU or Summary of Benefits.
Upon notice of resignation or retirement from the City, any Sick Leave usage requested will require a doctor’s note or certification. If documentation is not received, the employee will not receive payment of any Sick Leave hours for time missed from work.
43. SICK LEAVE HIRING INCENTIVE
A new employee may be credited with up to two hundred (200) hours of Sick Leave as long as the prior employer did not compensate the employee for these Sick Leave hours at this amount proposed or greater. New employees will be required to provide proof that the sick leave hours were not cashed out by presenting their last pay stub or written verification from their prior employer’s Payroll Division.
44. SICK LEAVE BUY-BACK
At separation of employment the City will buy back a percentage of the employee’s accrued Sick Leave hours, at the hourly base rate of pay at the time of separation. This benefit is contingent upon non-retirement, non-disciplinary separation, and completion of five (5) years of full-time City service. The percentage of Sick Leave Buy Back is:
Completed Years of Service % of Sick Leave Converted to Compensation 5 years 30%
10 years 35%
15 years 40%
20 or more years 45%
898
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027

Personal Leave that is not used will be credited to Sick Leave at the end of a fiscal year if said credited hours do not exceed the one thousand eighty (1,080) hours Sick Leave limit.
46. SICK LEAVE PROGRAM
Employees having in excess of nine hundred and sixty (960) hours of accumulated Sick Leave on the last pay period in June will be paid in the final paycheck of the fiscal year, an amount computed at the then existing hourly rate for each hour in excess of nine hundred and sixty (960) hours, up to a maximum of fifty six (56) hours.
47. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS
Employees will be subject to mandatory transfers into “Special Assignments” to meet the operational needs of the City (excepting positions requiring an official Police Background be conducted, which remain subject to voluntary transfer). Training will be provided, as needed, to assist in the transition of acquiring new duties and responsibilities. If an employee has a specific concern relative to the “Special Assignment” they have been chosen to fill, a discussion will be held that may include the affected employee, their representative, the Director of Human Resources/Risk Management and any other relevant party.
An employee will experience no change in compensation if the “Special Assignment” is deemed to be set at a lower pay grade than the employee is currently earning. If an employee is placed in a position at a higher pay grade than the employee is currently earning, this will be deemed to be “Acting Duty” and will be compensated in accordance with the City’s rules regarding “Acting 899
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
27 Duty” status. The period over which “Acting Duty” can be continued will not be limited by the timeline set in the Personnel Rules. An employee on “Special Assignment” will not be placed on probationary status. The length of time to be worked in a “Special Assignment” is undetermined; however, an employee, or their representative, may periodically request a status report as to the anticipated continuation of their “Special Assignment” job.
An employee demonstrating a bonafide inability to perform the duties of the “Special Assignment” (i.e., not performing at a satisfactory level or better) will not be subject to termination if said substandard performance is based on a lack of job skill or a disability.
48. STANDBY PAY
One (1) hour for each day of the week, including weekends and holidays, will be paid at straight time, in pay or compensatory time off at the employee’s option, to employees required to be on Standby duty as authorized by their Department Director or a designated representative.
49. TUITION ADVANCE PROGRAM
Full-time, non-probationary employees who desire to enroll in an accredited college/university degree program or professional development course, are eligible for tuition advancement up to a maximum of three thousand, five hundred dollars ($3,500) per fiscal year. A Tuition Advancement Form must be received by the Human Resources/Risk Management Department for review and approval before and advance will be provided. Budgeted funds must be available to cover tuition advance and no expenditure beyond the approved budget allocation will be authorized to cover any amount of any employee’s educational expenses.
The non-probationary status requirement does not pertain to those employees who are considered to hold probationary status due to a promotion into a new position in the City. Affected employees are required to complete one year of service with the City from the date of completion of course work to be eligible for this benefit. Individuals voluntarily separating from the City prior to completion of one year of service with the City from date of completion of course work will be required to reimburse the City for funds advanced to them under this program. Said reimbursement shall be deducted from any separation check to be distributed to the employee, no matter what the nature of the funds, without the necessity of a judgement being mandated on behalf of the City.
A college or university shall be defined as an institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WASC), the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), Middle State Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), New England Association of Colleges and Schools (NEASC) or an institution listed on the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Other accreditations may be eligible upon review by the Human Resources Department.
Advanceable expenses will include books, tuition, parking and registration/enrollment fees. All required fees such as health-related fees, “gym” fees and other miscellaneous fees, whether billed 900
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
28 as “tuition” or otherwise required of the institution are eligible. Items such as paper, pens, notebooks, and printing fees will not be eligible.
Employees agree that upon accepting a tuition advance from the City, the employee is responsible to provide the City with verification of completion of class(es), grade(s) and receipts for expenses within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of final course work (as indicated on the request for tuition advance form submitted by the employee). In the event that the educational institution attended does not provide the employee with verification of completion or grades or receipts within this sixty (60) calendar days timeframe, the employee is responsible to notify the Director of Human Resources/Risk Management, in writing, of such and an additional sixty (60) calendar days extension will be granted. In the event that an employee does not provide verification of completion of class(es), grade(s) and receipts for expenses at the end of either the initial sixty (60) calendar days or at the end of the extension of an additional sixty (60) calendar days (to 120 calendar days total), the City will have the right to automatically make a payroll deduction from the employee's next regular payroll check in an amount equal to the amount of tuition funds advanced.
50. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT – ENHANCED PROGRAM
Employees who have incurred otherwise reimbursable tuition cost in an amount greater than the maximum amount available shall be eligible to receive additional reimbursement to the extent that tuition reimbursement funds are available at the end of each fiscal year. No such distribution will be made until the conclusion of the fiscal year in order to verify the number of employees making application for the enhanced benefit. Employees must submit a tuition reimbursement invoice to the Human Resources/Risk Management Department no later than May 1st of each year in order to participate in this Enhanced Program.
It shall remain the individual employee’s responsibility to apply for and receive written authorization to participate in a tuition reimbursable course prior to any such enrollment.
51. UNIFORMS FOR CODE COMPLIANCE INSPECTORS, BUILDING INSPECTORS,
PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTORS, COMMUNITY SERVICES STAFF AND

Shirts, pants, sweatshirts, jackets and hats shall be returned to the employee’s Department supervisor for replacement as needed.
The City will report to CalPERS the monetary value for providing and maintaining the employee’s required uniforms. The uniform allowance will be derived from the City’s total calendar year costs for providing and maintaining the employees’ uniforms, not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per fiscal year per employee, and will be reported on a bi-weekly basis.
A “bulletproof vest” will be provided to Code Compliance Inspectors upon request. 901

Six (6) months prior to date of conversion, half the number of accrued leave hours requested, excluding Sick Leave, must have been taken as time off. Note: usage requirement waived for “activated” military personnel.
56. WORK BOOTS AND WORK SHOES
Eligible employees (Public Works Inspectors, Building Inspectors, Environmental Compliance Technicians, Code Compliance Inspectors, and Storekeepers) will receive a three hundred dollar ($300) allowance in their first paycheck in January. These funds will be used by the employee for the purchase of safety-rated work boots or work shoes. This compensation is not reportable to PERS as special compensation.
57. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Whenever any employee of the City is disabled whether temporarily or permanently, by injury or illness arising out of, and in the course of, their duties the employee will be compensated as follows: On the first, second, and third day of the injury employees will use accrued Sick Leave, Vacation Leave, Floating Holiday Leave, and/or Compensatory Time off for full salary continuance.
Commencing the fourth day of the injury, the City will continue the employee’s salary at a rate of 66-2/3% of the current monthly salary, less any applicable deductions (i.e., credit union, health insurance coverage), for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months. If the disability extends for a 903
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
31 period beyond fourteen (14) calendar days the City will credit the employee for the first three (3) days of Sick Leave used. If hospitalization is required the first, second, and third days’ salary is paid by the City through the Workers’ Compensation program.

That neither a “Notice of Claim” nor “Application for Adjudication of Claim” will have been filed or served against the City of Chino;
That the injured employee has diligently sought medical attention as prescribed by the treating physician(s) approved by the City; and
That the injured employee and the City have employed the guidance of the State Department of Industrial Relations Office of Information and Assistance to resolve any outstanding issues or misunderstandings.
Representation is a legal right recognized by statutory law. Nothing precludes an employee from retaining legal counsel or representation; however, the premium benefit offered is only available in cases handled without the involvement of legal counsel. This is done in recognition of the cost savings that result in non-litigated cases that can be passed on to the ill or injured worker.
59. SAVINGS CLAUSE
Should any clause in this Memorandum of Understanding be held invalid by law and/or a court of competent jurisdiction, then only that clause will be stricken and the remainder of the Memorandum of Understanding will remain in full force and effect.
