Stationary Engineers Local 39 Miscellaneous (L39A) Successor Labor Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
File ID: 2023-01653 12/12/2023 Discussion Item 1.
The 2021-2023 MOU between the City and L39A expired on September 22, 2023. The City and L39A have negotiated a successor MOU, and L39A has advised that the agreement was ratified by its membership. Attachment 2 is a redline version of the successor MOU which includes the following major new contract terms:
· New term: September 23, 2023, through September 19, 2025. · Effective September 23, 2023, salary ranges will be increased by six percent (6.0%). o Within sixty (60) calendar days, all employees who are still on payroll and in a classification covered by the L39A MOU will receive retroactive pay. · Effective July 13, 2024, salary ranges will be increased by four percent (4.0%). · Health and Welfare Contributions
o 2024 Calendar Year Health Changes, effective December 30, 2023:
§ Employee Only - City contribution of $955.00 per month, § Employee Plus One Dependent - City contribution of $1,520.00 per month, and § Employee Plus Two or More Dependents - City contribution of $2,026.00 per month.
o 2025 Calendar Year Health Changes, effective the first paycheck of 2025:
§ The City will contribute fifty percent (50%) of the first fifty dollars ($50.00) of premium increases, up to a maximum contribution of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per month, towards a cumulative total increase in premium from plan year 2024 to plan year 2025, of the benchmarked twenty-five dollar ($25.00) Kaiser HMO, Delta Dental PPO, and VSP basic vision plans.
The final version of the L39A MOU is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A (Attachment 6).
Salary Schedule
The California Code of Regulations requires that the City Council adopt the City’s Salary Schedule at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges are changed to ensure that salary rates are transparent and publicly available. These publicly adopted rates are used by California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to determine the appropriate compensation earnable for each City employee when calculating their pension benefit.
A redline version of the salary schedule is shown in Attachment 3. The final, comprehensive Citywide salary schedule is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B (Attachment 7).
Policy Considerations:
Approval of this action by the City Council is consistent with the City’s legal obligation under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, adheres to the City’s positive labor management relations concept, and provides labor stability.
The Sacramento City Code Section 4.04.020 and Council Rules and Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a two-thirds vote of the City Council, all labor agreements, and
File ID: 2023-01653 12/12/2023 Discussion Item 1.
all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to Council action. This provision will be waived by City Council.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: The report contains administrative activities that will not have a significant effect on the environment and that do not constitute a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Approval of this action will establish a new MOU between the City and L39A through September 19, 2025. Additionally, approval of this action will establish compliance with the California Code of Regulations § 570.5.
Financial Considerations:
Approval of this agreement will result in an ongoing increase in general fund expenses with the chart below outlining the estimated financial impact over a five-year period:
$s in millions FY2023/24 FY2024/25 FY2025/26 FY2026/27 FY2027/28 G/MU Funds Cost
Increase
$4.0 $9.0 $9.1 $9.1 $9.1
Other Funds Cost
Increase
$1.5 $3.3 $3.3 $3.3 $3.3
The City’s current five-year forecast is in deficit. To balance the City Budget, as required by the City Charter, the City will need to make spending reductions and/or increase revenues. The City’s current General/Measure U Fund five-year forecast, excluding homelessness services1, is below2:

1. Including homelessness services would increase projected deficits. The size of the forecasted FY 2024/25 homelessness services deficit will depend on the final City allocation amount for State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Round 5 funding.
2. Increased costs and decreased revenues are represented as negatives as they increase deficits. The budgetary reserve is separate from the Economic Uncertainty Reserve and represents savings in prior years that was allocated to the FY 2024/25 budget year. The updated forecast moves $25.4 million from FY2024/25 to FY2023/24 to cover projected deficits in the current FY.

1 PREAMBLE
This AGREEMENT, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement, entered into by and between the CITY OF SACRAMENTO, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS, STATIONARY ENGINEERS LOCAL 39, AFL-CIO, hereinafter referred to as the Union, has as its purpose the promotion of harmonious labor relations between the City and the Union, establishment of an equitable and peaceful procedure for the resolution of differences and the establishment of rates of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment.
ARTICLE 1 – RECOGNITION
1.1 RECOGNITION
a. The City hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all employees in the Operations and Maintenance, Office and Technical, and Professional Units, as defined in the City's Employer-Employee Relations Policy, and agrees to meet and confer and otherwise deal exclusively with the Union on all matters relating to the scope of representation pertaining to the said employees as authorized by law.
b. The Union will not object to the State Mediation and Conciliation Service or the American Arbitration Association conducting an election pursuant to the City's Employer-Employee Relations Policy.
1.2 EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT
Any employee working in a job classification in the Operations and Maintenance, Office and Technical, and Professional Units shall be covered by this Agreement except as hereinafter provided. Additionally, any career employee covered by this Agreement who accepts a temporary appointment to a classification outside this Agreement shall continue to be covered by this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) calendar days. Such temporary appointment shall be treated as an out-of- classification assignment. Similarly, a career employee not covered by this Agreement who accepts a temporary appointment to a classification covered by this Agreement shall not fall under the provisions of this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) calendar days. The City shall not make temporary appointments under this provision for the sole purpose of eroding the bargaining units represented by the Union.
The following terms are defined as used throughout this Agreement:
Career Employees: Those employees having either probationary or permanent status in a classification covered by this Agreement.
2 Non-Career Employees: Employees working in a classification covered by this Agreement who are not required to serve a probationary period and who therefore have neither probationary nor permanent status. There are the following two (2) categories of non-career employees:
(+1,040): These non-career employees work, within one year of each date of employment, in excess of 1,040 hours during a continuous period of employment of more than six (6) months.
(-1,040): These non-career employees work, within one year of each date of employment, 1,040 or less hours. Included in this category are all non-career employees who do not fall under the (+1,040) definition.
Probationary Period: Probation is an extension of the hiring process and the employee may be released from probation at any time during the probationary period with no appeal rights.
With the exception of Parking Enforcement Officer; Senior Parking Enforcement Officer; Parking Meter Coin Collector; Parking Lot Attendant; Senior Parking Lot Attendant; and Parking Meter Repair Worker, the probationary period for career employees hired or promoted into or within this unit on or after June 19, 2020, who are employed in classifications covered under this Agreement, whose probationary period was six (6) months shall be twelve (12) months (2,080 regular hours). All relevant job specifications shall be deemed modified to reflect this provision.
Classifications with an eighteen (18) month (3,120 regular hours) probationary period shall remain unchanged.
1.3 CAREER DEVELOPMENT TRAINEES
The City shall have the right during the term of the Agreement to establish Career Development Trainee classifications. Such classifications shall have a flat hourly rate of pay equivalent to ten percent (10%) below Step 1, as applicable, of the salary range of the career classification, as shown in the current salary schedule. (For example, if the "1" step hourly rate of pay is $9.00 for the career classification for which the career development training is being conducted, the flat hourly rate for the Career Development Trainee would be $9.00 minus $.90 or $8.10.) An employee appointed as a Career Development Trainee shall have non-career (+1,040) status for purposes of benefit eligibility during the term of the appointment.

12 7.2 ADVANCEMENT IN RATE OF COMPENSATION
a. Advancement in Steps
(1) Upon successful completion of twenty-six (26) weeks (1,040 hours) of service, an employee shall be advanced to the next higher step of the salary range of the classification. Employees who thereafter maintain a normally satisfactory level of performance shall be advanced automatically at fifty-two (52) week (2,080 hours) intervals to succeeding steps of the assigned salary range.
(2) Time spent on leave of absence without pay of ten (10) or less consecutive workdays shall not affect the step increase eligibility date.
For such leaves in excess of ten (10) consecutive working days, all leave time shall not count toward step increases.
(3) An employee who has completed the required probationary period in their current classification and who is at a salary step lower than top step may be advanced to any higher step in the salary range for that classification at any time. Such step advancement under this provision shall not be subject to the grievance procedure and shall be at the sole discretion of the Department Head.
Except as provided herein, this Section shall not apply to non-career employees. b. Denial of Step Increase and Reduction in-Grade

(This subsection shall not apply to non-career employees.)
c. Effective Date of Step Increases/Payroll Changes

For example, an employee is appointed on January 4, 1986, and works in the regular assignment until April 11, 1986. On April 12, 1986, the employee is on injury-on- duty time until July 4, 1986, and returns to the regular assignment on July 5, 1986. The employee successfully completes the probationary period on September 26, 1986. The effective date on the salary step increase is July 5, 1986, because the period April 12, 1986, to July 4, 1986, is included in determining the salary step eligibility date.

(4) When the probationary period is extended for an employee in a classification with a twelve (12) month probationary period who has successfully completed more than twenty-six (26) weeks of service and who successfully completes the extended probationary period, the period of the extension shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the next salary step increase. The effective date of the salary step increase is determined in accordance with the example given above, except fifty-two (52) weeks is required rather than twenty-six (26) weeks.
(5) If a probationary period is extended due to an unpaid leave of absence, the period of such extension is excluded in determining the eligibility date for a salary step increase.

14 b. Movement to Another Position in the Same Classification or to a Classification with the Same Salary Range
When an employee moves to another position in the same classification or to another classification with the same salary range, the employee shall maintain the same salary and same anniversary date.
c. Movement to a Lower Classification
When an employee's position is reallocated to a classification with a lower salary range, the employee shall suffer no reduction in salary, and the Y-rate provisions of this Agreement shall apply. The salary of an employee who voluntarily demotes shall be that salary step nearest but does not exceed such salary paid in the previous classification.
7.4 EFFECT OF CHANGE OF SALARY RANGE UPON COMPENSATION
Whenever the salary range of a classification is adjusted upward, the salary rate of each employee in the classification shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which corresponds to the step received in the former range, and the employee shall retain the current anniversary date for further increases within the new range.
7.5 RATE OF COMPENSATION UPON RETURN TO CITY SERVICE
a. An employee recalled after layoff, reinstated after a leave of absence, or reemployed in the same classification after resignation shall return to the same salary step paid and shall be credited with the duration of time spent in their salary step paid at the time of departure. The period of time separated from City service shall not be included in the calculation of the anniversary date for future in-grade salary adjustments.
b. If the employee is reemployed after resignation to a classification lower than that in which last employed, the employee may receive any step, but not to exceed the salary of the classification in which last employed. If that step is other than the maximum step of the salary range, the anniversary date for subsequent in-grade adjustments shall be twelve (12) months from the date of reemployment and each year thereafter until the maximum step of the salary range is reached.
7.6 RATES HIGHER THAN TOP STEP (Y-RATE)
Whenever the salary of an employee exceeds top step of the salary range established for a classification, such salary shall be designated as a "Y-rate". During such time as an employee's salary remains above the top step, the employee shall not receive further salary increases, except that upon promotion to a higher classification, the employee shall immediately advance to the step of the range of the higher classification next above the "Y-rate", and be eligible for advancement to
15 succeeding steps in the range as outlined in this Agreement. In the event an employee is "Y-rated" below top step, as applicable, the employee shall be permitted to advance to the maximum step of the original range.
7.7 SALARY CONTINUATION FOR ABSENCES FOR LESS THAN ONE WORK DAY A salaried employee exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act who works for only a portion of the day shall not have their salary reduced that day due to insufficient accrued, usable leave. This provision shall apply only to employees in the Professional Unit.
7.8 LONGEVITY PAY
Employee eligibility for longevity pay as provided in Section 108 of the City Charter shall be determined by an employee’s City Service Seniority as defined in Article 15, Layoff, Section 15.2(b)(2). The amount to be paid annually on the second check in July after twenty (20) years of City service shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00), and after twenty-five (25) years of City service, an additional two hundred dollars ($200.00), for a total of three hundred dollars ($300.00). The parties acknowledge that Longevity Pay is provided in the City Charter and not through this Agreement.
In the event that changes are made to the City Charter, those changes shall supersede the provision of this Agreement regarding Longevity Pay.
Longevity Pay as provided in this Section shall be reported to CalPERS in a manner consistent with CalPERS rules for reporting special compensation, as amended.
7.9 LIVING WAGE MEETING
Within ninety (90) calendar days of adoption of this Agreement by the City Council, at the written request of the Union, the parties agree to meet and discuss the recruitment and retention challenges facing the City’s lowest wage classifications represented by Local 39.

ARTICLE 15 – LAYOFF
15.1 PURPOSE
This Article provides the procedure to be followed when an employee is to be displaced/laid off from their position.
57 15.2 DEFINITIONS
a. Layoff: A layoff shall be defined as the dismissal or displacement of at least one employee due to lack of work, lack of funds, abolishment of position, or for other reasons not reflecting discredit on an employee. b. Seniority
(1) Classification Seniority: Classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the employee's present job classification including any time spent in a higher job classification, but less any time spent in a lower job classification due to a downgrade.
The term higher classification shall mean a job classification in which the top rate of pay is greater than the top rate of pay of the employee's present job classification. For any employee who has not served a probationary period in their present job classification, or any employee whose position has been reallocated in accord with applicable Civil Service Board the Rules and Regulations of the Civil Service Board, classification seniority shall be mutually established by the City and Union.
For those classifications which have flexible staffing as defined in the Civil Service Board Rules and Regulations of the Civil Service Board and provided for in the classification specifications, classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the lowest classification in the classification series. For an employee who has downgraded, computation of classification seniority for a job classification lower than that in which the employee holds permanent status, the following seniority shall be counted:
(a) classification seniority in any higher classification, and (b) previous classification seniority in the job classification in which the employee is currently working, and
(c) present time spent in the job classification in which the employee is currently working.
For a part-time career employee, classification seniority shall be prorated.
(2) City Service Seniority: City service seniority shall be defined as the effective date of appointment to the employee's first permanent career position, or as the effective date of appointment to the employee's first full-time position (or positions) which immediately preceded an appointment to a permanent career position, whichever is greater.
58 For a part-time career employee, City seniority shall be prorated. (3) Hire Date Seniority: Hire date seniority shall be defined as the employee's first date of hire to any position with the City. (4) Seniority Adjustments: Classification seniority and City service seniority shall be adjusted (reduced) in calendar days to reflect time spent on layoff from City service. There shall be no adjustment for time spent on an approved unpaid leave of absence.
(5) Termination of Seniority: Termination of classification seniority and City service seniority shall occur upon:
(a) Resignation, except that any employee who is appointed from a reemployment list and completes a probationary period, if any, in the position to which they were reemployed may count the seniority which they accumulated prior to resignation.
(b) Discharge.
(c) Retirement.
(d) Layoff in excess of five (5) consecutive years out of the City service.
(e) Failure to comply, report, or respond to a recall notice within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of postmark on the recall notice.
c. Downgrade A downgrade shall be defined as a change in job classification to which the top rate of pay is the same or less than the top rate of pay of the employee's present classification, due to a layoff. A downgrade shall only be allowed to the appropriate classification within the employee's regression ladder, except as provided in Section 15.3(b)(4) of this Article. d. Regression Ladder A regression ladder shall be defined as a classification series through which an employee may downgrade. The regression ladders are as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
e. Permanent Status For the purposes of this layoff procedure, permanent status is attained in a job classification when an employee has successfully completed their probationary period in that job classification. An employee in an exempt classification represented by the Union shall be considered a permanent employee under this Article.
f. Leave of Absence Employees on an approved unpaid leave of absence shall accrue seniority.
59 g. Department The application of the term "department" for the sole purpose of layoff and/or downgrade of career employees shall mean:
(1) The Department of Public Works shall be considered a single department.
(2) The Department of Utilities shall be considered a single department. (3) The Departments of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment; Community Development; Economic Development; and Convention and Cultural Services, shall be considered a single department. (4) The Departments of Police, Fire, Information Technology, Finance, and Human Resources shall be considered a single department. (5) The Charter Offices of the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Clerk, City Manager and City Treasurer shall each be considered a single, separate department.
A function that is assigned to work in a different department as part of an inter- departmental project, but continues to be funded from the original department (op- conned), remains a part of the original department for the purpose of layoff.
Any future departmental reorganization shall be effective for purposes of layoff only after one year from implementation. At the request of the Union, the City agrees to discuss such reorganization at the time of implementation to review the placement of the reorganized function, and the application and impact of this Section, if any.
15.3 PROCEDURE
a. Non-Career Employees
(1) When a layoff is to occur within a job classification within a Department, all non-career employees in the regression ladder in which that job classification is found shall be laid off first, except in the Solid Waste and Parking functions. In these functions, the City may continue working non-career Parking Lot Attendants and up to twenty-five (25) non-career Integrated Waste Equipment Operators regardless of any career employees who may be laid off in the regression ladder in which these job classifications fall. Career Integrated Waste Equipment Operators subject to layoff shall have the right to bump into the non- career classifications.
(2) Non-career employees shall be laid off in the order provided by established Department procedures. If such procedures have not been established on the effective date of this Agreement, non-career employees shall be laid off in such order as the Department Head shall
60 provide. In no event shall a career employee suffer a layoff until all non- career employees in the affected regression ladder in the Department have been laid off.
b. Career Employees
(1) Within each job classification in each department in which a layoff occurs, employees shall be laid off in the following order: first, all provisional employees; second, all probationary employees in the order of their classification seniority; and, third, permanent employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority.
(2) Any provisional or probationary employee who is affected by a layoff or displaced by a downgrading employee shall return to the last Department and job classification in which the employee holds permanent status, if any. If the employee does not hold permanent status in another job classification, they shall be laid off; the name of such employee may be restored to an eligible list in accordance with applicable Civil Service Board Rules and Regulations. If the employee does hold permanent status in another job classification, they shall then be treated as a permanent employee in that job classification with respect to any layoff in that job classification.
(3) Any permanent employee who is to be laid off or displaced shall have the right to downgrade, within the Department, in descending order, to job classifications within their regression ladder, provided that the employee meets the qualifications of the lower classification. If there are any provisional employees in such lower classification, the provisional employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced first. If there are no provisional employees in the lower classification, the probationary employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced. If there are neither provisional nor probationary employees in the lower classification, the permanent employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced, provided that the downgrading employee has greater City service seniority. If the permanent employee is unable to downgrade to any job classification within the appropriate regression ladder, they shall be laid off.
(4) A career employee in a classification contained in classification group 47 who is to be laid off, displaced, or demoted shall have the right to downgrade, within the Department and in descending order, to represented classifications in which the employee previously held permanent status provided a vacancy exists.
61 (5) Any permanent employee currently working in a classification contained within classification group 46 shall have the right to downgrade, in the same manner as provided in Section 15.3(b)(3), to the last classification in which permanent status was held, if any, provided such classification is contained within regression ladder 1 through 45, or classification group 46. If such a downgrade is not possible, the employee shall be laid off. If such a downgrade is possible, the employee shall then in the future have the right to downgrade through that new regression ladder only.
(6) An employee may accept layoff in lieu of the opportunity to downgrade by notifying Labor Relations within five (5) working days of receiving notice of layoff. Where the employee accepts a layoff in lieu of a downgrade, said employees shall forfeit all recall rights except to a vacancy within the same classification from which the employee was laid off.
(7) If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of classification seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater City service seniority. If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of City service seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater hire date seniority, or by lowest random number in the event of a tie.
(8) The application of this procedure is not intended to extend job assignment, work organization, or departmental preference to any employee affected by a layoff.
c. Notice of Layoff
In the event of a layoff, the City shall send by certified mail a layoff notice to all affected employee(s). Such notice shall be postmarked at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the effective date of layoff. Such layoff notice shall be mailed to the employee's address in the City’s payroll system, and shall be deemed appropriate notice. The employee(s) who is on a paid or unpaid leave shall be affected by the layoff in accordance with the provisions of this Article in the same manner as all other employees.
15.4 SALARY IN EVENT OF DOWNGRADE
a. An employee who is downgraded through a regression ladder pursuant to this Article shall be paid in the new classification the salary range step closest to the monthly pay rate received immediately prior to downgrade providing there is no increase in pay.
b. If appointed in the lower classification at other than top step, future salary step adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 7.2 "Advancement in
62 Rate of Compensation" with time served in the classification from which the downgrade occurred counting toward salary step advancement. c. Upon subsequent recall through a regression ladder the employee shall not receive in the next higher classification less than that received in the lower classification, provided however, that upon subsequent placement in the classification from which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step previously held. If, however, said salary step is less than that received in the classification to which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step immediately higher. The anniversary date for future in-grade salary adjustments shall be the date of recall to the permanent classification.
d. Salary as referred to in this Article shall be the monthly salary range and respective salary step for the affected classification as identified in the current salary schedule.
15.5 FRINGE BENEFITS
a. Upon layoff, employees shall be paid for accrued leave balances, including, but not limited to, vacation, sick, holiday, longevity, and similar benefits per applicable ordinance and rules. Employees being recalled shall have the uncompensated portion of their sick leave balance restored. However, if eligible, only those sick leave hours accrued after recall shall be applied to any subsequent sick leave payoff.
b. Employees enrolled in City insurance programs may continue elected coverage limited to the City's medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for a period up to six (6) months or the period of time permitted by Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), whichever is greater, by advanced personal remittance for each month's premium for the cost of such coverage, at the time of layoff.
c. Assistance with this insurance option, unemployment benefits, and the availability of retirement benefits or refunds as governed by the City Charter will be provided by the Benefits Division, Department of Human Resources, at the request of laid-off employees.
15.6 RECALL
a. When a vacancy occurs in a job classification, the laid-off or downgraded employee(s) eligible to return to that job classification shall be recalled in the order of City service seniority, beginning with the employee with the greatest City service seniority. When a recall list exists and an employee is on a reinstatement list due to a medical leave of absence, such employee will be merged with employees on the established layoff eligibility list based on seniority. Permanent employees who were laid off or downgraded are eligible
63 to return to the job classification in which permanent status is held within their regression ladder, or to lower classifications within the same regression ladder, but shall have no recall rights to any job classification in which provisional status was held at the time of layoff or downgrade. Permanent employees who held probationary status in another job classification on the date of layoff shall be eligible to return to the job classification in which probationary status was held for a period of five (5) years from the date of layoff; but upon such return must serve the complete probationary period for such job classification.
b. Career employees shall be entitled to recall rights for a period of five (5) consecutive years from the effective date of layoff or downgrade. The effective date of layoff shall be the employee's last day of work. The effective date of downgrade shall be the employee's last day of work in the classification from which they downgraded. If, however, a permanent employee has been recalled or downgraded but has not been recalled to the classification in which permanent status is held within the five (5) year period, said employee shall continue to possess recall rights back to the classification in which permanent status is held, and to any other classifications in the employee's regression ladder which are lower than the classification in which permanent status is held and higher than the classification in which the employee was working at the expiration of the five (5) year period. If said employee is recalled to a classification higher in their regression ladder than the employee was working at the expiration of the five (5) year period, the employee shall serve the complete probationary period in such higher classification. If said employee fails to satisfactorily complete the probationary period they shall return to the next highest classification in the applicable regression ladder in which a vacancy exists and shall gain permanent status in such classification. In no event shall the employee be required to return to a classification lower than that from which they left to take the probationary appointment. Said employee shall then continue to possess recall rights to any higher classification in their regression ladder which is lower than the classification in which the employee failed to complete the probationary period but higher than the classification to which the employee returned after failing probation, subject to all provisions stated above.
c. When a vacancy exists and employees are to be recalled, notice of the opening(s) shall be sent to the mailing address as shown on the employee's last paycheck unless a more recent address has been furnished by the laid off/downgraded employee. To expedite recall, more than one employee may be notified of an opening. This recall notice shall be by certified mail and the employee shall have fourteen (14) calendar days to report to work from the date of postmark on the recall notice. If said employee fails to report to work within fourteen (14) calendar days, they will lose all recall rights. An employee who has been laid off or downgraded shall be required to meet the physical and other minimum qualifications of the classification to which they are
64 recalled. Any additional qualifications established during said employee's layoff shall be waived with regard to an employee holding recall rights to that job classification except as required by law. An employee who accepts recall shall receive all seniority to which they are entitled under Section 15.2(b) of this Article.
d. A non-career employee (+1,040) laid off pursuant to Section 15.3(a)(1) shall have recall rights back to the job classification from which they were laid off for a period of two (2) years. The order of recall shall be as provided in established department procedures. If such procedures have not been established on the effective date of this Agreement, non-career employees shall be recalled in such order as determined by the Department Head. No such non-career employees shall be hired or recalled to any regression ladder until such time as all career employees have exhausted or lost their recall rights back to that regression ladder. Non-career (-1,040) employees shall have no recall rights.
e. Career employees holding recall rights may be offered a non-career job of less than 1,040 hours annually, and if said career employee accepts or refuses such non-career jobs of less than 1,040 hours it shall have no effect on said career employee's normal recall rights.
15.7 GENERAL
a. A seniority list shall be made available to the Union on the first working day in September of each year, and after review with the Union, said list shall be posted by each Department and copies made available for ready inspection.
A copy shall be furnished free of cost to the Union each September. b. The City shall immediately after effecting a layoff provide the Union a list of those employees who have been laid off. Said list shall be known as a Recall List and shall be updated as necessary.
c. The City or the Union shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to initiate discussions between the parties as to possible alternatives to layoff. The City, however, retains the right to proceed with layoffs according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement at any time including, but not limited to that time, if any, during which an impasse on layoff alternatives is being resolved.
d. The parties shall have the further right, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to initiate discussions on possible alternatives to layoff to correct any adverse impact a proposed layoff would have on minorities and women employees in the Units represented by the Union. If such discussions are initiated but the parties fail to reach agreement, the present layoff procedure shall continue in full force and effect.

This AGREEMENT, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement, entered into by and between the CITY OF SACRAMENTO, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS, STATIONARY ENGINEERS LOCAL 39, AFL-CIO, hereinafter referred to as the Union, has as its purpose the promotion of harmonious labor relations between the City and the Union, establishment of an equitable and peaceful procedure for the resolution of differences and the establishment of rates of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment.
ARTICLE 1 – RECOGNITION
1.1 RECOGNITION
a. The City hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all employees in the Operations and Maintenance, Office and Technical, and Professional Units, as defined in the City's Employer-Employee Relations Policy, and agrees to meet and confer and otherwise deal exclusively with the Union on all matters relating to the scope of representation pertaining to the said employees as authorized by law.
b. The Union will not object to the State Mediation and Conciliation Service or the American Arbitration Association conducting an election pursuant to the City's Employer-Employee Relations Policy.
1.2 EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT
Any employee working in a job classification in the Operations and Maintenance, Office and Technical, and Professional Units shall be covered by this Agreement except as hereinafter provided. Additionally, any career employee covered by this Agreement who accepts a temporary appointment to a classification outside this Agreement shall continue to be covered by this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) calendar days. Such temporary appointment shall be treated as an out-of- classification assignment. Similarly, a career employee not covered by this Agreement who accepts a temporary appointment to a classification covered by this Agreement shall not fall under the provisions of this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) calendar days. The City shall not make temporary appointments under this provision for the sole purpose of eroding the bargaining units represented by the Union.
The following terms are defined as used throughout this Agreement:
Career Employees: Those employees having either probationary or permanent status in a classification covered by this Agreement.
2 Non-Career Employees: Employees working in a classification covered by this Agreement who are not required to serve a probationary period and who therefore have neither probationary nor permanent status. There are the following two (2) categories of non-career employees:
(+1,040): These non-career employees work, within one year of each date of employment, in excess of 1,040 hours during a continuous period of employment of more than six (6) months.
(-1,040): These non-career employees work, within one year of each date of employment, 1,040 or less hours. Included in this category are all non-career employees who do not fall under the (+1,040) definition.
Probationary Period: Probation is an extension of the hiring process and the employee may be released from probation at any time during the probationary period with no appeal rights.
With the exception of Parking Enforcement Officer; Senior Parking Enforcement Officer; Parking Meter Coin Collector; Parking Lot Attendant; Senior Parking Lot Attendant; and Parking Meter Repair Worker, the probationary period for career employees hired or promoted into or within this unit on or after June 19, 2020, who are employed in classifications covered under this Agreement, whose probationary period was six (6) months shall be twelve (12) months (2,080 regular hours). All relevant job specifications shall be deemed modified to reflect this provision.
Classifications with an eighteen (18) month (3,120 regular hours) probationary period shall remain unchanged.
1.3 CAREER DEVELOPMENT TRAINEES
The City shall have the right during the term of the Agreement to establish Career Development Trainee classifications. Such classifications shall have a flat hourly rate of pay equivalent to ten percent (10%) below Step 1, as applicable, of the salary range of the career classification, as shown in the current salary schedule. (For example, if the "1" step hourly rate of pay is $9.00 for the career classification for which the career development training is being conducted, the flat hourly rate for the Career Development Trainee would be $9.00 minus $.90 or $8.10.) An employee appointed as a Career Development Trainee shall have non-career (+1,040) status for purposes of benefit eligibility during the term of the appointment.

Only those employees who are on the payroll and who are employed in a classification covered by this Agreement on the date of implementation will receive the increase retroactively.
b. Effective July 13, 2024, all salary steps shall be increased by four percent (4.0%).
ARTICLE 7 – SALARY ADMINISTRATION
7.1 ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT COMPENSATION RATE
The rate of compensation upon original appointment shall normally be Step 1, as applicable. However, if the City Manager or designee finds that the appointee has extraordinary qualifications, or that a higher step is necessary in order to recruit, appointment at any step in the range may be made. This provision shall apply to original appointments to career positions and appointment to non-career positions.
7.2 ADVANCEMENT IN RATE OF COMPENSATION
a. Advancement in Steps
(1) Upon successful completion of twenty-six (26) weeks (1,040 hours) of service, an employee shall be advanced to the next higher step of the salary range of the classification. Employees who thereafter maintain a normally satisfactory level of performance shall be advanced automatically at fifty-two (52) week (2,080 hours) intervals to succeeding steps of the assigned salary range.
(2) Time spent on leave of absence without pay of ten (10) or less consecutive workdays shall not affect the step increase eligibility date.
For such leaves in excess of ten (10) consecutive working days, all leave time shall not count toward step increases.
12 (3) An employee who has completed the required probationary period in their current classification and who is at a salary step lower than top step may be advanced to any higher step in the salary range for that classification at any time. Such step advancement under this provision shall not be subject to the grievance procedure and shall be at the sole discretion of the Department Head.
Except as provided herein, this Section shall not apply to non-career employees. b. Denial of Step Increase and Reduction in-Grade
Employees who do not maintain a satisfactory level of performance may be denied advancement, and may be reduced within grade upon approval of the appointing authority. Employees in the civil service who are denied advancement, or who are reduced in-grade, shall have the right to appeal to the Civil Service Board in accordance with its Rules and Regulations. (This subsection shall not apply to non-career employees.)
c. Effective Date of Step Increases/Payroll Changes
All payroll changes shall be effective on the first day of the bi-weekly pay period following the date the employee became eligible for a pay increase, which bi-weekly pay period shall begin at 12:01 a.m. Saturday of the first week, and end at 12:00 midnight on the Friday of the second week. d. Effective Date of Salary Step Increase Upon Extension of Probationary Period (1) If the probationary period is extended due to light duty, sick leave, or injury-on-duty time, the salary step increase will be delayed for the period of the extension. However, the probationary period shall only be extended if the time exceeds thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. (2) For an employee in a classification with a six (6) month probationary period who successfully completes the extended probationary period, the period of the extension shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the salary step increase. For example, an employee is appointed on January 4, 1986, and works in the regular assignment until April 11, 1986. On April 12, 1986, the employee is on injury-on- duty time until July 4, 1986, and returns to the regular assignment on July 5, 1986. The employee successfully completes the probationary period on September 26, 1986. The effective date on the salary step increase is July 5, 1986, because the period April 12, 1986, to July 4, 1986, is included in determining the salary step eligibility date. (3) When the probationary period is extended for an employee in a classification with a twelve (12) month probationary period who has successfully completed less than twenty-six (26) weeks of service, the
13 employee shall be eligible for a salary step increase upon successful completion of twenty-six (26) weeks of service, excluding the period of the extension. The period of the extension, however, shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the salary step increase. The effective date of the salary step increase is determined in accordance with the example given above.
(4) When the probationary period is extended for an employee in a classification with a twelve (12) month probationary period who has successfully completed more than twenty-six (26) weeks of service and who successfully completes the extended probationary period, the period of the extension shall be included in determining the eligibility date for the next salary step increase. The effective date of the salary step increase is determined in accordance with the example given above, except fifty-two (52) weeks is required rather than twenty-six (26) weeks.
(5) If a probationary period is extended due to an unpaid leave of absence, the period of such extension is excluded in determining the eligibility date for a salary step increase.
7.3 EFFECT OF CLASSIFICATION CHANGE ON RATE OF COMPENSATION a. Movement to a Higher Classification
When an employee moves from one classification to another which has a higher salary, through examination, appointment to an exempt position, temporary appointment in the absence of an eligible list, or reallocation, the employee shall receive an increase at least equal to a full in-grade salary step (5%) or Step 1, as applicable, of the higher classification, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the maximum rate of the higher classification. b. Movement to Another Position in the Same Classification or to a Classification with the Same Salary Range
When an employee moves to another position in the same classification or to another classification with the same salary range, the employee shall maintain the same salary and same anniversary date.
c. Movement to a Lower Classification
When an employee's position is reallocated to a classification with a lower salary range, the employee shall suffer no reduction in salary, and the Y-rate provisions of this Agreement shall apply. The salary of an employee who voluntarily demotes shall be that salary step nearest but does not exceed such salary paid in the previous classification.
14 7.4 EFFECT OF CHANGE OF SALARY RANGE UPON COMPENSATION Whenever the salary range of a classification is adjusted upward, the salary rate of each employee in the classification shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which corresponds to the step received in the former range, and the employee shall retain the current anniversary date for further increases within the new range.
7.5 RATE OF COMPENSATION UPON RETURN TO CITY SERVICE
a. An employee recalled after layoff, reinstated after a leave of absence, or reemployed in the same classification after resignation shall return to the same salary step paid and shall be credited with the duration of time spent in their salary step paid at the time of departure. The period of time separated from City service shall not be included in the calculation of the anniversary date for future in-grade salary adjustments.
b. If the employee is reemployed after resignation to a classification lower than that in which last employed, the employee may receive any step, but not to exceed the salary of the classification in which last employed. If that step is other than the maximum step of the salary range, the anniversary date for subsequent in-grade adjustments shall be twelve (12) months from the date of reemployment and each year thereafter until the maximum step of the salary range is reached.
7.6 RATES HIGHER THAN TOP STEP (Y-RATE)
Whenever the salary of an employee exceeds top step of the salary range established for a classification, such salary shall be designated as a "Y-rate". During such time as an employee's salary remains above the top step, the employee shall not receive further salary increases, except that upon promotion to a higher classification, the employee shall immediately advance to the step of the range of the higher classification next above the "Y-rate", and be eligible for advancement to succeeding steps in the range as outlined in this Agreement. In the event an employee is "Y-rated" below top step, as applicable, the employee shall be permitted to advance to the maximum step of the original range.
7.7 SALARY CONTINUATION FOR ABSENCES FOR LESS THAN ONE WORK DAY A salaried employee exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act who works for only a portion of the day shall not have their salary reduced that day due to insufficient accrued, usable leave. This provision shall apply only to employees in the Professional Unit.
7.8 LONGEVITY PAY
Employee eligibility for longevity pay as provided in Section 108 of the City Charter shall be determined by an employee’s City Service Seniority as defined in Article 15,
15 Layoff, Section 15.2(b)(2). The amount to be paid annually on the second check in July after twenty (20) years of City service shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00), and after twenty-five (25) years of City service, an additional two hundred dollars ($200.00), for a total of three hundred dollars ($300.00).

24 c. Employees may voluntarily, and with the mutual agreement of their Department Head, or designee, flex their shift(s) to meet the needs of the operation.

The
25 manager shall give first consideration to those employees making such requests before considering any other persons for the vacancy. The term “first consideration” does not mean that the employees requesting transfer to the vacant position have first priority to the job, nor does it require the appointing authority to appoint an employee from such list to the vacancy, but only assures that such employees shall in fact be given consideration for the position prior to reviewing other candidates.
b. In the event more than one (1) qualified employee requests to fill said vacancy, the assignment shall be based on classification seniority (or in the case of a tie, highest position on the eligible list) provided relative experience and capability in performing the required job functions and relative disruptive effect on the established work schedule are equal.

As a condition of so using such accrued vacation, however, the employee is required to continuously utilize accrued vacation until accrued vacation is exhausted or they return to work. This provision also applies to any accrued leave with the exception as noted in 12.4 Sick Leave.

(8) Recycle and Solid Waste – The use of vacation leave by employees in the classification(s) of Integrated Waste Equipment Operator and Senior Integrated Waste Equipment Operator shall be limited per day to a combined total of nine percent (9.0%) of authorized budgeted positions; this calculation shall include seasonal, limited term employees assigned to leaf season pickup. If the number of authorized budgeted positions change, the number of employees allowed off daily will be adjusted to maintain nine percent (9.0%). This calculation shall be rounded to the closest whole number. For example, calculations of .4 and below shall round down and calculations of .5 and above shall round up. Previously approved vacation time will not be cancelled as a result of this adjustment.
The annual bidding shall be by classification seniority in the following order:
1. Senior integrated Waste Equipment Operator

ARTICLE 15 – LAYOFF
15.1 PURPOSE
This Article provides the procedure to be followed when an employee is to be displaced/laid off from their position.
15.2 DEFINITIONS
a. Layoff: A layoff shall be defined as the dismissal or displacement of at least one employee due to lack of work, lack of funds, abolishment of position, or for other reasons not reflecting discredit on an employee. b. Seniority
(1) Classification Seniority: Classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the employee's present job classification including any time spent in a higher job classification, but less any time spent in a lower job classification due to a downgrade.
The term higher classification shall mean a job classification in which the top rate of pay is greater than the top rate of pay of the employee's present job classification. For any employee who has not served a probationary period in their present job classification, or any employee whose position has been reallocated in accord with the Rules and
56 Regulations of the Civil Service Board, classification seniority shall be mutually established by the City and Union.
For those classifications which have flexible staffing as defined in the Rules and Regulations of the Civil Service Board and provided for in the classification specifications, classification seniority shall be defined as the effective date of probationary appointment to the lowest classification in the classification series. For an employee who has downgraded, computation of classification seniority for a job classification lower than that in which the employee holds permanent status, the following seniority shall be counted:
(a) classification seniority in any higher classification, and (b) previous classification seniority in the job classification in which the employee is currently working, and
(c) present time spent in the job classification in which the employee is currently working.
For a part-time career employee, classification seniority shall be prorated.
(2) City Service Seniority: City service seniority shall be defined as the effective date of appointment to the employee's first permanent career position, or as the effective date of appointment to the employee's first full-time position (or positions) which immediately preceded an appointment to a permanent career position, whichever is greater.
For a part-time career employee, City seniority shall be prorated. (3) Hire Date Seniority: Hire date seniority shall be defined as the employee's first date of hire to any position with the City. (4) Seniority Adjustments: Classification seniority and City service seniority shall be adjusted (reduced) in calendar days to reflect time spent on layoff from City service. There shall be no adjustment for time spent on an approved unpaid leave of absence.
(5) Termination of Seniority: Termination of classification seniority and City service seniority shall occur upon:
(a) Resignation, except that any employee who is appointed from a reemployment list and completes a probationary period, if any, in the position to which they were reemployed may count the seniority which they accumulated prior to resignation.
57 (b) Discharge.
(c) Retirement.
(d) Layoff in excess of five (5) consecutive years out of the City service.
(e) Failure to comply, report, or respond to a recall notice within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of postmark on the recall notice.
c. Downgrade A downgrade shall be defined as a change in job classification to which the top rate of pay is the same or less than the top rate of pay of the employee's present classification, due to a layoff. A downgrade shall only be allowed to the appropriate classification within the employee's regression ladder, except as provided in Section 15.3(b)(4) of this Article. d. Regression Ladder A regression ladder shall be defined as a classification series through which an employee may downgrade. The regression ladders are as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
e. Permanent Status For the purposes of this layoff procedure, permanent status is attained in a job classification when an employee has successfully completed their probationary period in that job classification. An employee in an exempt classification represented by the Union shall be considered a permanent employee under this Article.
f. Leave of Absence Employees on an approved unpaid leave of absence shall accrue seniority.
g. Department The application of the term "department" for the sole purpose of layoff and/or downgrade of career employees shall mean:
(1) The Department of Public Works shall be considered a single department.
(2) The Department of Utilities shall be considered a single department. (3) The Departments of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment; Community Development; Economic Development; and Convention and Cultural Services, shall be considered a single department. (4) The Departments of Police, Fire, Information Technology, Finance, and Human Resources shall be considered a single department.
58 (5) The Charter Offices of the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Clerk, City Manager and City Treasurer shall each be considered a single, separate department.
A function that is assigned to work in a different department as part of an inter- departmental project, but continues to be funded from the original department (op- conned), remains a part of the original department for the purpose of layoff.
Any future departmental reorganization shall be effective for purposes of layoff only after one year from implementation. At the request of the Union, the City agrees to discuss such reorganization at the time of implementation to review the placement of the reorganized function, and the application and impact of this Section, if any.
15.3 PROCEDURE
a. Non-Career Employees
(1) When a layoff is to occur within a job classification within a Department, all non-career employees in the regression ladder in which that job classification is found shall be laid off first, except in the Solid Waste and Parking functions. In these functions, the City may continue working non-career Parking Lot Attendants and up to twenty-five (25) non-career Integrated Waste Equipment Operators regardless of any career employees who may be laid off in the regression ladder in which these job classifications fall. Career Integrated Waste Equipment Operators subject to layoff shall have the right to bump into the non- career classifications.
(2) Non-career employees shall be laid off in the order provided by established Department procedures. If such procedures have not been established on the effective date of this Agreement, non-career employees shall be laid off in such order as the Department Head shall provide. In no event shall a career employee suffer a layoff until all non- career employees in the affected regression ladder in the Department have been laid off.
b. Career Employees
(1) Within each job classification in each department in which a layoff occurs, employees shall be laid off in the following order: first, all provisional employees; second, all probationary employees in the order of their classification seniority; and, third, permanent employees in the order of their classification seniority, beginning with the employee with the least such seniority.
(2) Any provisional or probationary employee who is affected by a layoff or displaced by a downgrading employee shall return to the last
59 Department and job classification in which the employee holds permanent status, if any. If the employee does not hold permanent status in another job classification, they shall be laid off; the name of such employee may be restored to an eligible list in accordance with applicable Civil Service Board Rules and Regulations. If the employee does hold permanent status in another job classification, they shall then be treated as a permanent employee in that job classification with respect to any layoff in that job classification.
(3) Any permanent employee who is to be laid off or displaced shall have the right to downgrade, within the Department, in descending order, to job classifications within their regression ladder, provided that the employee meets the qualifications of the lower classification. If there are any provisional employees in such lower classification, the provisional employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced first. If there are no provisional employees in the lower classification, the probationary employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced. If there are neither provisional nor probationary employees in the lower classification, the permanent employee with the least City service seniority shall be displaced, provided that the downgrading employee has greater City service seniority. If the permanent employee is unable to downgrade to any job classification within the appropriate regression ladder, they shall be laid off.
(4) A career employee in a classification contained in classification group 47 who is to be laid off, displaced, or demoted shall have the right to downgrade, within the Department and in descending order, to represented classifications in which the employee previously held permanent status provided a vacancy exists.
(5) Any permanent employee currently working in a classification contained within classification group 46 shall have the right to downgrade, in the same manner as provided in Section 15.3(b)(3), to the last classification in which permanent status was held, if any, provided such classification is contained within regression ladder 1 through 45, or classification group 46. If such a downgrade is not possible, the employee shall be laid off. If such a downgrade is possible, the employee shall then in the future have the right to downgrade through that new regression ladder only.
(6) An employee may accept layoff in lieu of the opportunity to downgrade by notifying Labor Relations within five (5) working days of receiving notice of layoff. Where the employee accepts a layoff in lieu of a downgrade, said employees shall forfeit all recall rights except to a
60 vacancy within the same classification from which the employee was laid off.
(7) If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of classification seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater City service seniority. If two (2) or more employees have an equal amount of City service seniority, the senior employee shall be determined on the basis of greater hire date seniority, or by lowest random number in the event of a tie.
(8) The application of this procedure is not intended to extend job assignment, work organization, or departmental preference to any employee affected by a layoff.
c. Notice of Layoff
In the event of a layoff, the City shall send by certified mail a layoff notice to all affected employee(s). Such notice shall be postmarked at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the effective date of layoff. Such layoff notice shall be mailed to the employee's address in the City’s payroll system, and shall be deemed appropriate notice. The employee(s) who is on a paid or unpaid leave shall be affected by the layoff in accordance with the provisions of this Article in the same manner as all other employees.
15.4 SALARY IN EVENT OF DOWNGRADE
a. An employee who is downgraded through a regression ladder pursuant to this Article shall be paid in the new classification the salary range step closest to the monthly pay rate received immediately prior to downgrade providing there is no increase in pay.
b. If appointed in the lower classification at other than top step, future salary step adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 7.2 "Advancement in Rate of Compensation" with time served in the classification from which the downgrade occurred counting toward salary step advancement. c. Upon subsequent recall through a regression ladder the employee shall not receive in the next higher classification less than that received in the lower classification, provided however, that upon subsequent placement in the classification from which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step previously held. If, however, said salary step is less than that received in the classification to which the employee was downgraded, salary step placement shall be at the salary step immediately higher. The anniversary date for future in-grade salary adjustments shall be the date of recall to the permanent classification.
61 d. Salary as referred to in this Article shall be the monthly salary range and respective salary step for the affected classification as identified in the current salary schedule.
15.5 FRINGE BENEFITS
a. Upon layoff, employees shall be paid for accrued leave balances, including, but not limited to, vacation, sick, holiday, longevity, and similar benefits per applicable ordinance and rules. Employees being recalled shall have the uncompensated portion of their sick leave balance restored. However, if eligible, only those sick leave hours accrued after recall shall be applied to any subsequent sick leave payoff.
b. Employees enrolled in City insurance programs may continue elected coverage limited to the City's medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for a period up to six (6) months or the period of time permitted by Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), whichever is greater, by advanced personal remittance for each month's premium for the cost of such coverage, at the time of layoff.
c. Assistance with this insurance option, unemployment benefits, and the availability of retirement benefits or refunds as governed by the City Charter will be provided by the Benefits Division, Department of Human Resources, at the request of laid-off employees.
15.6 RECALL
a. When a vacancy occurs in a job classification, the laid-off or downgraded employee(s) eligible to return to that job classification shall be recalled in the order of City service seniority, beginning with the employee with the greatest City service seniority. When a recall list exists and an employee is on a reinstatement list due to a medical leave of absence, such employee will be merged with employees on the established layoff eligibility list based on seniority. Permanent employees who were laid off or downgraded are eligible to return to the job classification in which permanent status is held within their regression ladder, or to lower classifications within the same regression ladder, but shall have no recall rights to any job classification in which provisional status was held at the time of layoff or downgrade. Permanent employees who held probationary status in another job classification on the date of layoff shall be eligible to return to the job classification in which probationary status was held for a period of five (5) years from the date of layoff; but upon such return must serve the complete probationary period for such job classification.
b. Career employees shall be entitled to recall rights for a period of five (5) consecutive years from the effective date of layoff or downgrade. The effective date of layoff shall be the employee's last day of work. The effective date of
62 downgrade shall be the employee's last day of work in the classification from which they downgraded. If, however, a permanent employee has been recalled or downgraded but has not been recalled to the classification in which permanent status is held within the five (5) year period, said employee shall continue to possess recall rights back to the classification in which permanent status is held, and to any other classifications in the employee's regression ladder which are lower than the classification in which permanent status is held and higher than the classification in which the employee was working at the expiration of the five (5) year period. If said employee is recalled to a classification higher in their regression ladder than the employee was working at the expiration of the five (5) year period, the employee shall serve the complete probationary period in such higher classification. If said employee fails to satisfactorily complete the probationary period they shall return to the next highest classification in the applicable regression ladder in which a vacancy exists and shall gain permanent status in such classification. In no event shall the employee be required to return to a classification lower than that from which they left to take the probationary appointment. Said employee shall then continue to possess recall rights to any higher classification in their regression ladder which is lower than the classification in which the employee failed to complete the probationary period but higher than the classification to which the employee returned after failing probation, subject to all provisions stated above.
c. When a vacancy exists and employees are to be recalled, notice of the opening(s) shall be sent to the mailing address as shown on the employee's last paycheck unless a more recent address has been furnished by the laid off/downgraded employee. To expedite recall, more than one employee may be notified of an opening. This recall notice shall be by certified mail and the employee shall have fourteen (14) calendar days to report to work from the date of postmark on the recall notice. If said employee fails to report to work within fourteen (14) calendar days, they will lose all recall rights. An employee who has been laid off or downgraded shall be required to meet the physical and other minimum qualifications of the classification to which they are recalled. Any additional qualifications established during said employee's layoff shall be waived with regard to an employee holding recall rights to that job classification except as required by law. An employee who accepts recall shall receive all seniority to which they are entitled under Section 15.2(b) of this Article.
d. A non-career employee (+1,040) laid off pursuant to Section 15.3(a)(1) shall have recall rights back to the job classification from which they were laid off for a period of two (2) years. The order of recall shall be as provided in established department procedures. If such procedures have not been established on the effective date of this Agreement, non-career employees shall be recalled in such order as determined by the Department Head. No such non-career employees shall be hired or recalled to any regression ladder
63 until such time as all career employees have exhausted or lost their recall rights back to that regression ladder. Non-career (-1,040) employees shall have no recall rights.
e. Career employees holding recall rights may be offered a non-career job of less than 1,040 hours annually, and if said career employee accepts or refuses such non-career jobs of less than 1,040 hours it shall have no effect on said career employee's normal recall rights.
15.7 GENERAL
a. A seniority list shall be made available to the Union on the first working day in September of each year, and after review with the Union, said list shall be posted by each Department and copies made available for ready inspection.
A copy shall be furnished free of cost to the Union each September. b. The City shall immediately after effecting a layoff provide the Union a list of those employees who have been laid off. Said list shall be known as a Recall List and shall be updated as necessary.
c. The City or the Union shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to initiate discussions between the parties as to possible alternatives to layoff. The City, however, retains the right to proceed with layoffs according to the procedures set forth in this Agreement at any time including, but not limited to that time, if any, during which an impasse on layoff alternatives is being resolved.
d. Any grievance filed regarding this Article shall be submitted directly to the third step of the grievance procedure as set forth in Article 5.
