GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
4


A. Purpose.
The purpose of this article is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problems, which may arise affecting the terms of this contract or agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be constructed to limit the right of any officer having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with his superior officer, and have the grievance adjusted without the intervention of the Association.
B. Definition.
The term “grievance” as used herein means a complaint by any officer that, as to him, there has been an inequitable, improper, or unjust application, interpretation, or violation of this agreement.
C. Presentation of a Grievance.
In the presentation of a grievance, the aggrieved shall have the right to present his own appeal or to designate an Association representative or counsel to appear with him.
D. Steps of the Grievance Procedure.
The following constitutes the sole and exclusive method for resolving a grievance between the parties covered by this agreement.
STEP 1:
      (a) The aggrieved party shall institute action by presenting a signed and written statement of grievance delivered to the next superior in the chain of command within ten (10) working days of the event upon which the claim is based. Failure to act within said 10-day period of the normal workweek shall be deemed to constitute an abandonment of the grievance.

      (b) The superior officer shall render a decision in writing within ten (10) working days of the normal workweek after receipt of the grievance.
STEP 2:
      (a) In the event a satisfactory settlement has not been reached, the aggrieved shall file his written, signed complaint with the Chief of Police within seven (7) working days of the normal workweek following the determination at Step 1.
      (b) The Chief of Police shall render his decision within seven (7) working days of the normal workweek after the receipt of the complaint.
      (c) Failure to act within seven (7) days shall constitute abandonment of the grievance.
STEP 3:
      (a) Should the aggrieved party disagree with the decision of the Chief of Police, then, in that event, the aggrieved party may, with seven (7) working days of the normal workweek of the decision, submit the grievance to the Borough Public Safety Committee. The grievance shall be in writing and signed as to the issues in dispute. Within seven (7) working days of the normal workweek after receipt of the grievance, the Borough Public Safety Committee shall render its decision.
      (b) Failure to act within seven (7) days shall constitute abandonment of the grievance.
STEP 4:
      (a) Should the aggrieved be dissatisfied with the decision of the Public Safety Committee, then, in that event, the aggrieved has seven (7) working days of the normal workweek within which to request the appointment of an arbitrator.
      (b) The parties will then attempt to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator, and if this cannot be accomplished within seven (7) working days of the normal work week, then, in that event, a joint request will be made to the Public Employees Relations Commission, hereinafter referred to as PERC, to submit a roster of persons qualified to function as an arbitrator in the dispute in question. The request to PERC must be made within seven (7) working days of the normal work week after it has been determined that a mutually agreeable arbitrator cannot be selected.
      (c) The parties agree that they will comply with the rules of PERC pertaining to the selection of arbitrators.
      (d) The arbitrator shall limit himself to the issues submitted to him and shall consider nothing else. He can add nothing nor subtract anything from the agreement between the parties or any policy of the borough. The arbitrator will submit findings of fact, which shall be binding upon the parties.
      (e) If there are any costs of services of the arbitrator, costs shall be borne equally by the Borough and the Southern Camden County PBA Local #362.

A. Officers shall be paid overtime at a rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of regularly scheduled hours, including all instances where an officer is required to cover a shift for which he/she has not been previously scheduled. In the event that overtime is required at the conclusion of a regularly scheduled shift, the minimum amount of overtime to be worked and paid shall be one (1) hour. For all time subsequent to the first hour, overtime shall be paid to the nearest one-half (½) hour increment of actual time worked.

Seniority will mean the years of service with the Borough of Berlin Police Department. A chart shall be maintained in the Police Department office, which will show which officer has received the overtime assignments and the date and time thereof. The chart shall be compiled so that the senior officer is at the top of the list and so on down the line. Assignments shall always be offered to the next senior officer who has not yet been given an overtime assignment. However, in the assignment of overtime, there shall be a preference for full-time police officers over part-time police officers.
D. Officers not scheduled to work shall be paid for two (2) of four (4) departmental meetings per year at straight time.
E. Officers required to perform 40 hours of mandatory Attorney General Training, and must be approved by the Chief each year, shall be compensated with pay for 20 hours at the overtime rate of time and one half (1.5) and 20 hours of comp time at the rate of time and one half (1.5).

Officers opting to do so must notify the Chief of Police in January of each year for budget purposes. The monetary payment shall be issued in the first pay period in December. The comp time shall be taken when there are three (3) or more officers scheduled to work. This schedule is agreed to for the purpose of minimizing overtime pay and the related costs to the Borough.
