Upon entering a work location, the steward shall inform the cognizant supervisor of the
nature of the steward's business.
Permission to leave the job will be granted promptly to the employee involved unless such
absence would cause an undue interruption of work.
Except, however, denial of permission will automatically constitute an extension of the time
equal to the amount of delay. If the employee cannot be made available, the steward will
be immediately informed when the employee will be made available. Such time will not be
more than twenty-four (24) hours, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and holidays after the time
of the steward's request, unless otherwise mutually agreed to.
Local 721, SEIU agrees that a steward shall not log compensatory time or premium pay
time for the time spent performing any function of a steward.
Management will make every reasonable effort not to reassign a steward if there is any
other employee in the same classification who meets the specific qualifications of the
vacancy.
The SEIU, Local 721 President, Vice President, and Chair of the Bargaining Policy
Committee will be allowed reasonable time off without loss of pay to perform the
responsibilities of his/her position.
