Regarding: Work Schedule and Related Issues
This Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter "MOU") was prepared to allow for the Court Clerk III
to take advantage of an alternate work schedule as was previously negotiated in Article VIII, Section 3, item h.
"The work week, work day, and work schedule set out above may be changed by mutual agreement between the
Union and Employer". The Court Clerk III position had a set work schedule, and this MOU is establishing an
alternate schedule that would allow employees working for the City Court to request a four-day work week
consisting of ten hours with an unpaid hour for a lunch break. This MOU also clarifies that shift differential and
overtime pay are not applicable when employees wish to use an alternate work schedule. Employees that are on
the alternate work schedule will only receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay for any recognized holiday and are
not required to work the holiday.
The terms of this MOU shall be considered for incorporation into the complete Collective Bargaining
Agreement during the next negotiation session.
ARTICLE VIII -HOURS OF WORD
Section 1. Workweek: A standard workweek shall consist of forty (40) hours, composed of any
five (5) consecutive workdays immediately followed by two (2) days off, unless an alternative
schedule is mutually agreed upon by the City and the employee. An employee's workweek is a
fixed and regular recurring consecutive five (5) day period, beginning on the same day of each
seven (7) day period. If the 2 (two) days off provision conflicts with the needed Library schedule,
the librarians have agreed to document an exception upon request by the Library Director.
The workweek hereunder shall begin at 7 a.m. Monday and shall terminate at 6:59 a.m. on the
Monday following.
In Public Works, there shall be a shift schedule for Tuesday through Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. to
3:30 p.m., with a lunch period of 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Any change in shift must be agreed upon
pursuant to Section 3g (1) herein.
The work schedule for Court Clerk III shall be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or four (4) consecutive days
from 6:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with a one (1) hour unpaid lunch. A normal lunch period shall be
from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. unless court runs late; in this case, lunch will start at the end of court
session and last one (1) hour. The work schedule for Court Clerk I and Court Clerk II will be
determined by the City based upon an assessment of the Court Clerk office's workload.
The work schedule for the Library will be determined by the Library Director.
Any employees working ten (10) hours per day receive no shift differential for a day shift, and do
not receive overtime pay for working more than eight (8) hours as specified in section 2 defining
the workday. Holiday pay shall be for eight (8) hours only.
This MOU does not modify any portions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement unless specifically
noted above; and all provisions remain in effect as negotiated.
