EXHIBIT 1
APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 127-86
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
AFSCME/UNIT #2, AND THE CITY
OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
The parties having met and negotiated pursuant to Government Code Section
3500 et seq. do hereby agree to the following changes in-the terms and
conditions of employment from the date of this agreement to June 30,
1987:
Term: Except for the salary provisions, the terms of the agreement
will extend from the date of execution to June 30, 1987.
Recognition, Article 2, Section 1: The existing Unit #2, Profess-
ional and Paraprofessional, will be merged with the new unit designated
as City Unit "A." Inclusion in this unit is not intended to add,
subtract, or in any manner modify the terms and conditions of employ-
ment, except those as specifically set forth below.
Wages, Article 4t Section 1: For all employees who are in the
classifications of Communications Dispatcher and Senior Dispatcher
on May 1, 1986, the salary schedule will be increased by ten percent
(10%) effective June 28, 1985. Five percent (5%) of this ten percent
(10%) adjustment will be a pay equity adjustment.
Effective June 27, 1986, the same schedule will be increased by an
additional five percent (5%).
Insurance, Article 4, Section 4: Unit members employed at the time
of ratification of this Agreement, who voluntarily reduce their
schedule during the term of this Agreement from the current "4/10"
Plan to an 8 hour per day/32 hour per week Plan, shall be provided
the health and welfare benefits (S"A"-E") as if they were employed
on a full time "4/10 Plan" or one hundred percent (100%) cash in
lieu thereof based upon the formula set forth below.
Unit members employed after the ratification of this agreement
and whose regular work schedule is 8 hours per day/32 hours per
week, shall be entitled to elect once each year to have the City pay
eighty percent (80%) of the cost of the health and welfare benefits,
or have the City pay eighty percent (80%) of the cost of such
benefits in cash in lieu of such benefits. The City shall utilize a
weighted average for determining the cost of such benefits. For
example: 80% (the average cost of Kaiser X the number of City
participants; Bay Pacific X the number of City Participants; Blue
Shield X the number of City participants) = the weighted average for
health insurance. Such in lieu of benefits pay shall not be con-
strued as part of the regular rate for purposes of overtime payment.
For regular full time unit members, the 8 hours per day/40 hours per
week insurance benefits will be as described in Article 4, Section 4,
of the Unit "A" Memorand%un of Understanding.
1
Long Term Disability, Article 4, Section 4,E: The waiting period
for long term disability benefits shall be twenty (20) days.
Life Insurance, Article 4, Section 4tB: The life insurance would be
increased to 1 1/2 times the annual salary of the employee.
Hours/Work Schedule, Article 5:
A. Normal Work Week/Work Day:
For unit members employed at the time of ratification of
this Agreement, and who converted from the "4/10 Plan," the
regular (normal) work week and work day shall be either 8
hours per day/32 hours per week, or 8 hours per day/40 hours
per week, depending on assignment selection.
For unit members employed after the time of ratification of
this Agreement, the regular work week and work day shall be
8 hours per day/40 hours per week. This definition shall
apply for overtime purposes even though an employee is
assigned to a workday/work week which is less than 8 hours/40
hours, as specified.
B. Work Schedules/Shift Assignments
The City will alter the work schedules from the current
"4/10" Plan to a new schedule as soon as administratively
practical, taking into consideration the time required to
hire a full staff. The new schedule will be discussed with
affected employees and the Union prior to implementation.
The negotiating parties have informally discussed a sample
work schedule which is attached but not incorporated into
this Memorandum of Understanding. If any change is made in
the general pattern of the schedule, the City will meet and
confer over any proposed changes.
Every six months, Communications Dispatchers will be allowed
to select a shift based upon seniority. Such seniority shall
be determined upon the total hours employed as a communica-
tions worker in the Department. In order to provide some
rotation of desirable shifts which exclude working on week-
ends, no unit member will be allowed to select the same
shift which excludes working on weekends for more than three
(3) consecutive bid periods.
Senior Dispatchers will be assigned shifts by the City on the
basis of 8 hours per day/40 hours per week. However, the
current Senior Dispatcher will be allowed to have a 32 hours
work week during the first 6 month's bid period on an experi-
mental basis. The City may reassign that senior dispatcher to
a 40-hour work week after the first bid period, at the City's
discretion, if the Department officials, after discussion
with the Union, believe the division requires more
supervisory time. If, during the time that the one Senior
Dispatcher on a 32 hour week vacates the position of Senior
2
Dispatcher, that position will automatically revert to an 8
hour day/40 hours per week position.
Vacation: Article 6, Section 2:
ae
Vacation Accrual Rates: Each unit member shall accrue vacation
hours in accordance with the following accrual rate schedule,
prorated on the basis of a full time position being forty (40)

9. Sick Leave, Article 6, Section 3:
a. Sick leave shall be prorated on the basis of 40 hours per week as
being regular full-time.
b. Verification of Injury or Illness:
Usual Verification: An employee requesting paid sick leave
approval shall provide such verification of actual injury or
illness as is satisfactory to the department head or the
department head's designee. Usually, such verification shall
be in the form of an employee's personal affidavit of injury
or illness.

verification of actual injury or illness is verification

tions of the Bureau. Employees shall be allowed to bid for

given priority in assigning employees their preferred shifts,

reasonably met. The Bureau Commander may temporarily reassign
an employee to another shift when it is necessary to accommodate
temporary employee shortages or the lack of experience of
junior employees. The shift schedules to become effective in
January and July respectively will normally be posted four (4)
calendar weeks prior to becoming efective.
Fo

work station during scheduled hours of work unless he or she is

to take an informal rest break within the work station.
Employee's time on such rest breaks shall be considered as

Unit member has served an additional half shift of overtime,
provided that personnel is reasonably available to cover the
break period.

first. Whenever practical, seniority within classification
will be given priority in granting bids. Overtime will be
distributed as evenly as possible among the employees involved
and an opportunity will be provided for those employees who
want overtime assignments to take assignments from employees
who do not want overtime assignments.
Whenever practical, overtime will be filled by volunteers or
by those employees who are already working or scheduled to
work an adjoining shift, rather than by assigning employees
to work on their day off.

tions Bureau Commander may allow each employee to accumulate up
