AGENDA
REPORT
December 6, 2022
DISCUSSION:
It was brought to the attention of Human Resources that a key benefit that allows Sworn Executive Management personnel (Police Chief, Assistant Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Deputy Fire Chief) to receive a payout of a percentage of their sick leave balance upon retirement from the Richmond Police Management and Richmond Fire Management Memorandums of Understanding was not carried forward to the IFPTE Local 21 – Executive Management Memorandum of Understanding that was adopted by City Council with an effective date of July 1, 2021.
The Human Resources Department and IFPTE Local 21 – Executive Management Unit negotiated in good faith and agreed via Side Letter agreement to incorporate this benefit in the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Memorandum of Understanding.
Therefore, the Human Resources Department is bringing forth the Side Letter for City Council approval that permits Sworn Executive Personnel who retire from City service for reasons other than disability to be entitled to receive pay for their accumulated sick leave at the same rate and terms afforded to police and fire management employees represented by the Richmond Police Management and Richmond Fire Management Associations, respectively.
NEXT STEPS:
City staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution adopting the Side Letter agreement Sick Leave Cash-out between the City and IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit.
