Unit employees shall be allowed to appeal any Employee Performance Appraisal with an overall rating of less than satisfactory to the City Administrator. There shall be no other form of appeal.
Section T. Equal Employment Opportunity:
The CITY and AFSCME are committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and applicants. Further, the CITY and AFSCME are committed to the elimination of any barriers which restrict women, minorities and the disabled from receiving equal treatment in any aspect of employment. The parties understand that the City may have a legal imperative to act in a manner inconsistent with this agreement or the Human Resources Rules and Regulations. For example, the City may have to accommodate a disabled employee by placing that employee in a particular position without performing a recruitment.
Section U. Alternate Work Schedules:
The City departments may, in the department heads discretion, establish alternative work schedules. If established:
1. Overtime shall be payable for hours worked in excess of the regular workday.
2. Time off shall be earned as if the employee was working a regular work schedule (i.e. eight (8) hours for one (1) day). Time off shall be charged based on the number of hours in the workday missed (i.e. an employee on a 4/10 schedule will be charged ten (10) hours for each day missed on vacation, sick leave, etc.) Employees on alternate work schedules of more than eight (8) hours taking a holiday off shall be required to supplement their eight (8) hours of holiday pay in order to receive payment for the full day.
Section V. DMV Pull Notice Program:
Employees who have the opportunity to operate motorized vehicles on city business are required to be safe drivers and operate vehicles in a safe manner. Employees, who have the opportunity to operate vehicles on city business, must possess and maintain a valid California driver’s license appropriate for the job and vehicle(s) to be operated. Employees who have the opportunity to operate motorized vehicles while on duty must also either: (1) enroll in the City's department of motor vehicles employer pull-notice program, or (2) provide the city with periodic updates of his or her driving record.
1. If an employee enrolls in the DMV employer pull notice program, the employee must fill out a City-specified enrollment form directing the DMV to provide the City with periodic updates of the employee’s driving record.
2. If an employee elects not to enroll in the DMV employer pull notice program, the employee is responsible for providing the City with periodic updates of the employee’s driving Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
record. These updates shall be provided annually during the month of January and every time the employee receives a citation or other entry on his or her driving record which impacts his or her ability to operate a motor vehicle while on duty, including but not limited to the revocation or temporary suspension of the employee’s drivers’ license.
Section W. Payroll Date and Direct Deposit:
Employees are paid monthly on the first City Hall working day of the month unless an earlier date is designated by the City for a particular month. The City will notify the Association prior to implementing the bi-weekly payroll calendar as part of the implementation of the new ERP.
All unit employees shall enroll in direct deposit within sixty (60) days of employment. Employees shall maintain direct deposit. Employees needing an exception to direct deposit shall submit a request stating the reasons for the exception in writing to the Human Resources Director for consideration.
The decision of the Human Resources Director shall be final.
Section X. Change of Work Schedule (Public Safety Communicators):
In the event of a long-term vacancy (i.e., longer than one full work week), the employee who selected the swing shift (“bump shift”) will be assigned to the vacant shift to ensure adequate coverage. Except in cases of emergency or unforeseen circumstances that may require immediate staffing adjustments, employees shall be provided no less than seven (7) calendar days’ notice prior to the reassignment.

In the event that any employees covered by this Agreement, individually or collectively, violate the provisions of this article and the UNION fails to exercise good faith in halting the work interruption, the UNION and the employees involved shall be deemed in violation of this article and the CITY shall be entitled to seek all remedies available to it under applicable law.
ARTICLE X. REINSTATEMENT
The City shall have the option of reinstating employees who resigned in good standing and to reinstate accrued sick leave and seniority for salary step and leave accrual purposes.

BETWEEN THE
CITY OF GILROY
AND
AFSCME, AFL, CIO, LOCAL 101
GILROY CHAPTER
SUPERVISORY UNIT
JULY 1, 2026 - JUNE 30, 2029
ARTICLE I. PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
This Memorandum of Understanding is jointly prepared and executed by representatives of the City of Gilroy (hereinafter CITY) and the Gilroy Employee Association affiliated with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 101, AFL-CIO (hereinafter UNION) for presentation to, and consideration by, the City Council of CITY. It shall not be binding until ratified by the UNION and adopted by the City Council.
ARTICLE II. RECOGNITION AND SCOPE
CITY hereby recognizes UNION as the recognized employee organization for purposes of Government Code 3500 et seq. and the Employer-Employee Relations Policy of CITY (City Council Resolution 85-25). Such recognition shall extend only to the representation of employees holding permanent positions in the Supervisory Unit.
ARTICLE III. CITY RIGHTS
Section A. In General:
All CITY rights and functions, except those which are expressly abridged by this Agreement, shall remain vested with CITY.
Section B. Rights Enumerated:
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict any legal or inherent exclusive CITY rights with respect to matters of general legislative or managerial policy which include but are not limited to:
the exclusive right to determine the mission of its constituent sections; set standards of selection for Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
employment and promotion; train, direct and assign its employees; require overtime work; take disciplinary action; relieve its employees from duty because of lack of work or for other legitimate reasons; maintain the efficiency of CITY operations; determine the methods, means and personnel by which CITY operations are to be conducted; determine the content of job classifications; take all necessary actions to prepare for and carry out its mission in emergencies; and exercise complete control and discretion over its organization and the technology of performing its work. CITY has the right to make reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to employees consistent with this Agreement.
Section C. Employee Grievances Not Impaired:
1. The exercise of CITY management rights shall not preclude a grievant from presenting a grievance in accordance with the Human Resources Rules and Regulations, concerning an adverse effect of the exercise of such rights upon employee; provided, however, the basic right of management to act hereunder or make decisions is unimpaired.
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, above, bargaining unit members must utilize the Grievance Procedure contained in Article VIII (P) of the MOU rather than the Human Resources Rules and Regulations for any grievances involving the interpretation, application, or alleged violation of this memorandum of understanding.
Section D. Consultations with Union:
This Agreement is not intended to restrict the right of CITY to consult with UNION regarding matters within the right of CITY to determine. However, the parties understand that such consultation shall not create any obligation to meet and confer over issues not within the scope of representation.
Pursuant to MMBA Section 3504, the scope of representation shall include all matters relating to employment conditions and employer-employee relations, including, but not limited to, wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, except, however, that the scope of representation shall not include consideration of the merits, necessity, or organization of any service or activity provided by law or executive order.
ARTICLE IV. UNION RIGHTS
Section. A Union Security:
1. An employee in one of the classes included in the Unit may at any time execute a payroll deduction authorization form (“Deduction Authorization Form”) as furnished by AFSCME.
2. AFSCME will be custodian of records for such Deduction Authorization Form and will provide the City with a certification that it has and will maintain an authorization, signed by the individual from whose salary or wages the deduction or reduction is to be made. AFSCME shall not be required to provide the City a copy of the employee’s authorization unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization. However, AFSCME will provide the City with a certification document for each employee with sufficient information to allow the City to identify the appropriate level of deductions.
Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
3. The City shall begin deductions in the amount prescribed by AFSCME in the first full payroll period after receipt of written certification of employee authorization from AFSCME if received on or before the 20th of the month. Otherwise, the deduction will begin the following month.
4. The City shall direct employee requests to cancel or change deductions to AFSCME and shall rely on information provided by AFSCME regarding whether deductions for an employee organization were properly canceled or changed.
5. Consistent with state law, AFSCME shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and employees, for (1) any claims made by an employee for deductions made in reliance on AFSCME’s certification regarding a Deduction Authorization Form and (2) any claims made by an employee for deductions made in reliance on information provided by AFSCME regarding changes or cancellations to the deduction authorization.
6. The Union shall have the right to use City conference rooms and meeting facilities on the same basis as other governmental organizations. Use of non-public areas shall require prior authorization by the Department Head or designee. All requests for use of facilities shall be made through the Human Resources Director.
Section. B Information:
The City agrees to provide the Union with names of new hires within the bargaining unit on a timely basis. The City will continue to provide the Union with a monthly report, including Employee Name, Department, Wages, and Deduction Amount.
Section. C Employee Orientation:
City and AFSCME have agreed to maintain the current process for AFSCME involvement in the orientation of new bargaining unit employees.

Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
e. The City will retain a consultant to complete a benchmark Total Compensation Survey with a target completion date of December 31, 2028. In or around October of 2028, the parties will meet with the City’s retained survey consultant and review the consultant’s recommended survey jurisdictions, benchmark classifications, and survey matches for the revised Total Compensation Survey. The Parties intend the Total Compensation Survey to provide data to inform successor MOU negotiations.
2. Step Advancement:
Unless additional criteria are specified (e.g., longevity steps), advancement between each step in the salary range will require twelve (12) months of actual service at the employee’s current salary step, plus a “meets standards” or better performance evaluation.
3. Retention Steps
Step F (5 Years)
Effective the first full pay period following the later of July 1, 2022 or adoption of the MOU by the City Council, the City will add a new Step F to the salary schedule for each bargaining unit classification. Step F will be set approximately 5.0% higher than the existing Step E. In addition to the normal requirements for Step Advancement (12 months of “meets standards” or better performance at Step E), an employee must have completed five (5) years of service in the bargaining unit.
Employees who qualify for Step F as of July 1, 2022 (i.e., have both 5 years of service and 12 months at Step E) will be eligible to advance to Step F on July 1, 2022. For these employees, July 1 will become their new evaluation date. All other employees will be eligible to advance to Step F on their regularly scheduled evaluation date.
b. Step G (10 Years)
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2023, the City will add a new Step G to the salary schedule for each bargaining unit classification. Step G will be set approximately 5.0% higher than the existing Step F. In addition to the normal requirements for Step Advancement (12 months of “meets standards” or better performance at Step F), an employee must have completed ten (10) years of service in the bargaining unit.
Employees will be eligible to advance to Step G on their regularly scheduled evaluation date.
c. Step H (15 Years)
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2024, the City will add a new Step H to the salary schedule for each bargaining unit classification. Step H will be set approximately 5.0% higher than the existing Step G.

d. Other workweek designated in writing and approved by the Human Resources Director.
2. Overtime shall be defined as time worked in excess forty (40) hours per week. All paid time shall be considered hours worked for overtime calculation purposes. Overtime shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half (1.5) in either pay or compensatory time (CTO).
3. In addition, overtime shall be paid for all hours worked in excess of the number of hours in an employee’s regular workday. However, an employee and his or her supervisor may agree to “flex” his or her schedule. In this case, an employee may work additional hours on one day and Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
fewer than normal hours on one or more additional days. Any flex time shall be taken in the same workweek as the additional hours. Flex time shall not create a split shift. The employee shall not earn overtime unless the employee’s total hours worked exceed forty (40) in that workweek.
In the absence of an employee’s agreement to flex time, a supervisor may require the employee to flex his or her schedule to accommodate the City’s legitimate operational needs.
4. Each employee shall have the yearly option of accumulating compensatory time off or being paid monthly for overtime accrued during the immediately preceding month. However, employees may not accrue more than eighty (80) hours of CTO in their CTO bank at one time.
The Department Heads shall retain the authority of reasonably determining within the best interests of the operation of their respective departments, when accrued CTO may be used by each employee.
5. Employees required to attend mandatory courses, training sessions, or drills during off-duty times, shall be compensated for fifty (50) percent of such time on a straight time basis with a minimum of one (1) hour guarantee.
6. To address issues related the Doctrine of Constructive Receipt, no later than December 15 of each calendar year, each employee may irrevocably elect the number of overtime hours for which he or she wishes to receive CTO in lieu of pay for the following calendar year.
Employees shall earn CTO for all overtime hours worked up to the number of hours elected.
All overtime hours worked above the elected number of hours will be paid as overtime, regardless of whether an employee utilizes some or all the accrued CTO as paid leave.
7. This election will be made on a form provided by the City and must be completed and submitted in conformance with the instructions set forth on the form. Failure to make an election prior to the date set forth in this section will result in the employee being paid for all overtime hours worked and the employee will not be eligible for CTO for the calendar year.
CTO may not be cashed out except upon separation from employment.
Section G. Stand-by Pay:
Stand-by duty shall be rotated among employees on a seven (7) day basis. Employees on seven (7) day stand-by shall receive ten (10) hours pay at straight time. If an actual (not observed) holiday falls within the seven (7) day stand-by period, the employee shall receive eight (8) hours pay at straight time for being on stand-by on the actual (not observed) City of Gilroy recognized holiday.
The parties understand that stand-by compensation includes pay for incidental work performed while on standby. Examples of incidental work include periodic phone calls, e-mails, and remote monitoring of systems.
An employee receiving standby pay is expected to remain available to return to work and will return to work when called in. However, with approval of the supervisor at least 48 hours in advance, an employee may substitute for the employee on standby. Such substitution will be treated like a “shift trade” and the employees will be paid as though they worked their scheduled work and standby shifts.
Employees will be responsible for any repayment “shift trades.” Substitutions with less than 48 hours’ Docusign Envelope ID: E2503950-1E45-8200-80C9-E034601CB4EB
notice may be approved in emergency circumstances or other situations which could not reasonably have been foreseen (e.g., illness).
Employees on standby duty will be paid at time and one half for work performed after they have returned to the worksite.
Section H. Call Back Pay:
Call back is defined as any unscheduled event occurring after the employee has physically left work that does not continue into or continue after regular duty time. [For example, an employee called back to work one (1) hour prior to his or her regular start time will be paid overtime for the additional hour but will not qualify for callback pay. Similarly, an employee held over at the end of his or her shift will not qualify for callback pay.]
1. Call back shall be paid at a minimum of three (3) hours at time and one–half (1.5). Employees called on an actual (not observed) City of Gilroy recognized holiday will be compensated on the above schedule, but at a double time rate.
2. This provision shall not apply to prescheduled overtime (such as scheduled staff meetings) except that:
a. Members of the Communications and Records Units shall be allowed call back pay when called back for scheduled staff meetings; and
b. Employees called back to work for pre-scheduled events where a third party reimburses the City for the call back pay shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours at time and one half (1.5). However, if the City does not post the voluntary overtime signup at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to a pre-scheduled event, employees called back to work for that event shall be paid a minimum of three (3) hours at time and one half.
Any scheduled event/meeting occurring within thirty (30) minutes of the start or end of an employee’s shift will be assumed to be a continuation of regular duty time.
