25. Balloon Payments for Summer Insurance Premiums. Seasonal employees who choose to
liquidate all or a portion of their accrued vacation balances in cash may apply those amounts to
the summer balloon insurance payments.
26. Reduction in Hours. Article 5, Section 4 of the Master Agreement shall be modified or
supplemented as follows:
Employees and the Appointing Authority may mutually agree to reduce a full-time employee’s
hours of work for up to one year at a time. Such reduction shall not change their employment
condition for purposes of bidding or layoff. Prior to implementation of an agreement to reduce
a schedule, the Appointing Authority shall notify the Local Union President of the agreement.
Agreements to reduce an employee’s schedule for up to one year may be renewed, subject to
mutual agreement of the employee and the Appointing Authority.
Part 2. Co-located Institutions
27. Implementation. This Supplemental Agreement shall be in effect with the actual date of
merger of the institutions.
28. Definition of State Seniority. “State Seniority” for former Technical College employees shall
be defined as the date of first employment with the Technical College or with a member school
district from which the employee moved or was assigned to the joint Technical College district
or any other seniority recognized by the Technical College. It shall also include any time
served in a temporary appointment where the employee was appointed to a permanent position
in the same class without a break in service. “Break in service” shall not include academic year
breaks. For former Community College employees and new employees of the co-located
College, it shall be defined in Article 4, Section 1A of the Master Agreement.
29. Definition of Class Seniority. On the effective date of co-location, class seniority for
employees shall be the same as state seniority, as defined above. A new employee, or a
current employee who is reallocated, transferred, demoted, or promoted to another
classification or Appointing Authority after the date of co-location shall have class seniority in
the new position determined in accordance with the Master Agreement. The preceding
sentence does not apply to an employee of a co-located institution who transfers in the same
class to another co-located institution.
Previously held classes. Requests for determinations of allocations and seniority dates for
previously held classes that were submitted, with supporting documentation, on or before June
30, 2001, shall be retained in the employee’s personnel file and the determinations shall not be
reflected on the college’s seniority roster. At the time the college is notified that the employee
has accepted a position with another Appointing Authority, the college shall make a
determination and shall forward a copy of the written determination of allocation and seniority
dates to the new Appointing Authority. The determination of classifications and seniority dates
shall not be grievable.
30. Layoff and Bumping. In addition to any bumping rights contained in the Master Agreement,
employees at a co-located College shall have the right to bump into equal or lower classes in
the same class series. Employees who demote into a class in which they have not previously
served shall serve a three (3) month probationary period. Class series include OAS Principal,
Senior, Intermediate and OAS; CSAS Principal, Senior, Intermediate and CSAS; CSS
Principal, Senior, Intermediate and CSS; General Maintenance Worker and General
