A regular, part-time employee shall be defined as an employee hired by the City to work twenty (20) or more hours, but less than forty (40) hours per week on a continuous, regularly-scheduled annual basis. Section 2. Failure by an employee to abide by the above provisions shall constitute cause for discharge of such employee, provided that when an employee fails to fulfill the above obligation, the Union shall provide the employee and the City thirty (30) days' notification in writing of the Union's request to initiate discharge action. During this period, the employee may make restitution in the amount which is overdue. Should the employee make such restitution, the request for discharge shall be withdrawn. Section 3.

The City agrees that the employees covered by this Agreement shall not be discharged or discriminated against for upholding Union principles or for performing duties authorized by the Union, so long as these activities do not interfere with normal work processes of the City. It shall not be a violation of this Agreement, or cause for discharge, for any employee to refuse to cross a lawful primary picket line in the performance of his/her duties provided that: 1) the picket line has been approved by Teamsters Local Union No. 117 and, 2) employees shall be required to serve a customer that is not the object of the picketing. The employees will, however, cross picket lines to service emergency situations. The Union recognizes that the City may have an obligation, which may require services to be performed, which may not be of an emergency nature, but is the subject of a labor dispute and where the City's Union personnel have refused to cross a legal picket line. It is further agreed that the Union shall not interfere with the City performing the service by other means. It is understood that any Union employee willfully ignoring this provision removes himself from the protection afforded above. Section 3. Just Cause.

An employee who has been discharged and the Union may protest the discharge to the City in writing within five (5) working days of the date of discharge if the employee considers the discharge was not for cause.

An employee who waives this right shall acknowledge such in writing. If disciplined, the employee(s) also have the right to submit a rebuttal statement, which shall be maintained in the personnel file with the discipline. 4 Article IV NONDISCRIMINATION The City and the Union agree to promote and afford equal employment opportunity to all persons regardless of race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or the presence of non-job-related physical, sensory, or mental /disability. Article V HOURS OF WORK Section 1. Management may establish regular work schedules for the members of the bargaining unit, such that the working hours for the employees shall be equivalent to forty (40) hours per week. The normal workday, established by management, may be up to ten (10) hours exclusive of the lunch period. The normal workweek for full-time employees shall be on consecutive days of not less than eight (8) hours per day exclusive of lunch period. Work schedules may be established in those departments requiring a seven (7) day per week operation and in the event of emergencies as determined by the City. The normal work week for regular, part-time employees will be between twenty (20) hours and up to thirty nine hours per week. Section 2. Voluntary time worked in excess of the employee's normally scheduled shift or forty (40) hours in any one workweek, pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, shall be considered overtime and shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half (1 '/2) times the straight time rate of pay. Overtime will begin at the completion of forty (40) hours worked or at the end of the employee's shift. The normally scheduled first day of the week shall serve as the beginning of the regular forty (40) hour workweek. Overtime shall be paid based on hours worked only, except as defined in Article IX, Holidays, Section 4. Voluntary scheduled overtime shall be assigned equitably, subject to employee qualifications, as determined by the City, to perform the work. In the event of scheduled overtime, qualified employees will be asked to volunteer for such, and assignment of the overtime will be in order of seniority, with the most senior employee being offered the work first If an insufficient number of employees volunteer for scheduled overtime, mandatory overtime will be assigned to qualified employees, with the least senior employee being mandated to work overtime. Section 3. Overtime shall first be offered to regular employees based on seniority within the work unit, as defined in Article XVIII, prior to any offer or assignment of overtime to other employees within the department or temporary employees. Provided, however, it is understood that on those rare and unforeseen occasions that a task or job assignment causes a temporary employee to work beyond the scheduled work day and into an extended day, overtime period of a short duration shall not be considered a violation of this provision. Continued or frequent violations of this principle shall be considered a violation of the Agreement and subject to the grievance procedure. It is further understood that the supervisor will make every effort to avoid assignment of such tasks that may prompt the need for extending a temporary employee's workday into overtime. Section 4. Callback. Employees called back to work shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay at the overtime rate for the work for which they are called back. A callback shall be defined as hours worked which are not annexed consecutively to one end or the other of the working day. 5 Section 5. Telecommute Response. An employee who answers a phone call and/or is required to conduct City business, but does not physically come into work, shall receive a minimum of one (1) hour pay at the overtime rate. If the employee performs duties multiple times within that one (1) hour, the employee will still only receive the minimum of one (1) hour pay at the overtime rate. Employees who are on standby as outlined in Section 6, shall receive telecommute response pay in addition to standby pay if the employee answers a phone call and is not required to physically come into work. Section 6. Standby. The City reserves the right to place employees on mandatory standby. The purpose of standby duty is to be available during off-duty hours to receive service requests concerning problems; to investigate the nature and seriousness of the problem either by telephone or by onsite inspection; to correct minor problems causing a hazard, damage or potential damage, or significant inconveniences to the public; to call out appropriate crews when necessaryto direct the crew to the site; to perform work as a crew member if callback should occur, and to keep appropriate records. Qualified bargaining unit employees who volunteer for standby duty shall be added to the weekly assignment rotation list. If such volunteers are unable to fill the need for standby duty as determined by management, the City may assign mandatory standby and place qualified employees on standby duty by reverse seniority with the least senior employee being mandated. Any employee who wishes to be removed from volunteer standby duty shall give two (2) weeks' notice. Employees not meeting the qualifications for mandatory standby within their division will be given the opportunity for cross-training upon written request to their division supervisor. Arrangements for cross-training will be completed as timely as possible based on operational considerations. A schedule for mandatory standby will be posted as soon as practically possible but not less than one (1) week in advance unless there is an unforeseen emergency based on operational need. Employees on mandatory standby must be able to be onsite within forty-five (45) minutes of receiving a call out. For this purpose, employees may be issued a pager and/or cell telephone and are responsible for responding if called out. Employees may request to trade standby duty through written request of their supervisor not less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance. It is the responsibility of the employee to arrange the trade with another employee; however, if there is an emergency situation the supervisor may intervene and attempt to find a trade. If no trade is available and the supervisor considers the relief of the employee to be an emergency, the supervisor may assign the mandatory standby duty to another employee. Employees may request trade of standby duty less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance but there is no guarantee of approval. Qualified employees on standby may be required to carry a communication device (such as a pager or cell phone) and be able to respond immediately to callback situations without restrictions or impairments. Qualified employees will receive standby pay at the rate of two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per hour. The employee will receive standby pay for all hours outside of his/her regularly scheduled shift, for days so assigned, except for those hours that the employee is on his/her flex day off and other employees are working. In the event an employee who is on standby duty is called out, he/she shall be compensated in accordance with Section 4 and/or Section 5. Section 7. Employees required by the City to attend defensive driver training shall be compensated for actual time in attendance in accordance with RCW 49.46, Section 3. 6 Section 8. Payment for authorized overtime hours worked shall be paid or compensatory time earned, at the employee's option. This option shall be exercised at the time earned, without the option to change the decision once it is made. Compensatory time shall be earned and accumulated at the rate of one and one-half (11/2) hours for each overtime hour worked, provided that the maximum allowable accrual shall be eighty (80) hours of compensation. Section 9. Employees shall be allowed a meal period of at least thirty (30) minutes which shall commence no less than two (2) hours nor more than five (5) hours from the beginning of the employee's shift. Lunch periods are considered unpaid time unless the employee is required to perform his or her duties at any time during his or her lunch period. For each additional four (4) hours of overtime increments within one specific work day, the employee shall receive an additional meal period of one half(1/2) hour. If employees are approved and required to work by a supervisor and/or manager through a meal period, he/she shall be compensated at two times the employee's hourly rate for the missed meal period. Section 10. Rest Periods Employees shall receive a fifteen (15) minute rest break during the first four (4) hour period of their workday, and a second fifteen (15) minute rest break during the second four (4) hour period in the workday. Article VI PROBATIONARY PERIODS Section 1. All newly hired employees will serve a twelve(12) month probationary period. If, within the twelve (12) month probationary period, the employee is not able to perform his/her duties to the satisfaction of the City and is terminated from this position, then the termination is both non-protestable and non-grievable under the provisions of Article III, Section 3, and Article XVIII of this Agreement. All employees promoted or transferred in need of obtaining a CDL to fulfill a job requirement will serve a twelve (12) month probationary period. If, within the twelve (12) month probationary period, the employee is not able to perform his/her duties to the satisfaction of the City and is terminated from this position, then the termination is both non-protestable and non-grievable under the provisions of Article III, Section 3, and Article XVIII of this Agreement.

If the Employee works beyond the four (4) hours, both the preceding four (4) hours and the hours following shall be paid at the acting pay rate. In the event that an employee is assigned by the Division Manager or Department Director to work on a temporary basis in a position of higher classification to fill a vacancy or to act on behalf of an absent supervisory employee, for more than two (2) days in a row, the employee will be paid at a pay rate that ensures the approximate equivalent of at least a one (1) step pay increase. In the event of a planned absence such as a vacation or scheduled time off, the employee in the acting pay status shall receive the acting pay from the first day of the supervisor's absence (or other higher classified position such as a grade 23 level position). In the event of an unplanned absence, the employee will be placed in the acting pay status beginning the third day of the absence and the acting pay shall be retroactive to the first day. If the supervisor's (or other higher classified position such as a grade 23 level position) absence does not go beyond the second day, no acting pay will be implemented. All out of classification pay or acting pay proposals must be reviewed and approved by the Mayor and the Human Resources Director, or designee. Such pay will be documented on the employee's Personnel Status Report (PSR) along with the beginning and ending dates of the assignment for each assignment. In either of these situations the Division Manager or Department Director must have the approval for the out of class pay or acting pay in advance, except where there is an emergency situation in which case the acting pay may be granted at the time of the emergency as deemed necessary or as soon after the fact as the approving authority can be notified. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to limit or prevent the City from assigning out of classification or acting pay in a manner that it deems necessary for the operations of the City.

Effective January 1, 2017, based on December 2016 hours and each month thereafter, the City agrees to pay 100% of the premiums for eligible employees and their dependents to Washington Teamsters Welfare Trust c/o Northwest Administrators, Inc. for every eligible employee covered by this Agreement who was compensated for eighty (80) hours or more in the preceding month for the following: Teamsters Medical Plan "A" (with domestic partner) Teamsters Vision Plan EXT (with domestic partner) Teamster Dental Plan A (with domestic partner) The City agrees to pay 100% of the premiums for eligible employees for the following healthcare programs: Standard Life Insurance ($10,000 death benefit) Short-term disability insurance through the Standard Insurance Company The parties are aware that the "Cadillac" tax provisions of the Affordable Care Act may be implemented effective January 1, 2020. If it appears that the costs of the Teamsters Medical Plan may trigger the Cadillac Tax, either party may open this Article 11 on or after January 1, 2019. If either party opens this Article 11, then wages and all other economic provisions of this Agreement shall also be reopened for the purpose of negotiating a mutually satisfactory replacement medical and economic plan (including, but not limited to, any related HRA contributions) for 2020. This reopener is subject to the following: If the parties fail to reach agreement on the replacement medical plan prior to January 1, 2020, the eligible employees and their dependent(s) will automatically be enrolled into the current City medical plan that the City offers the unaffiliated employees. Additionally, all health reimbursement account contributions will cease, effective December 31, 2019, if the Affordable Care Act continues to be counted towards the "Cadillac" tax provisions, regardless if it is an employee or employer contribution. The parties acknowledge, however, that it is their intent that the employees receive the full value of any such contributions currently made by the City for their benefit under the terms of this Agreement (and as discussed subsequently in this Article 11). The parties agree after January 1, 2015, that if the Teamsters Medical plan cost with the additional three quarter percent (0.75%) contribution into VEBA exceeds the cost of the City's medical plan, the parties will reopen negotiations exclusively to discuss the medical plan options. The intent of this paragraph is to provide the City with the most cost efficient plan currently available to the group. As long as employees are on the Teamsters Medical Plans, the City agrees to contribute an additional three quarters of a percent (0.75%) of the employee's semi-monthly base salary into the HRA/VEBA for a total of 2.75%. For the purposes of this Agreement, it is understood that if the employees do not have the Teamsters medical plan, they will not receive the additional three quarters of a percent (0.75%) VEBA contribution. Section 2. Payments required under any of the foregoing provisions shall be made on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month and in the event the Trusts are required to take legal action to collect any City contribution due under this Agreement, the City shall be liable for all necessary legal and court costs. 11 Section 3. _HRANEBA Medical Retirement Plan. The City will contribute two percent (2.0%) of the employee's semi-monthly base salary into an HRANEBA and the employees will contribute one percent (1%) of the employee's semi-monthly base salary. If either party reopens this Article pursuant to Section 1, all contributions to the VEBA plan will cease after December 31, 2019. In that event, effective January 1, 2020, the City will contribute two percent (2%) of base pay period salary into deferred compensation. Furthermore, the additional three quarters of a percent (0.75%) will also be contributed into deferred compensation, as long as the Teamsters medical plan costs, with the additional three quarters (0.75%), costs the City less than City's medical plan. Effective January 1, 2014, and for the life of this Agreement and as long as employees are on the Teamsters Medical Plans, the City agrees to contribute an additional three quarters of a percent (0.75%) of the employee's semi-monthly base salary into the HRANEBA for a total of 2.75%, with the exception of the aforementioned ACA provisions. Section 4..

The employee must give the Department Director, or designee, prompt notice of call for jury duty. Employees shall be required to report for work for any major portion (more than two (2) hours), of their regularly scheduled shift during which they are not actually serving on a jury or waiting to be impaneled.

Abuse of sick leave shall be subject to discipline. Regular, part-time employees working less than forty (40) but more than twenty (20) hours per week shall accrue sick leave proportionate to hours worked. 12 Section 2.
