The employees and their dependents shall also be afforded optical and dental coverage through the County’s own provider contracts.


All of the coverage outlined above shall extend through the duration of this Agreement; however, the County reserves the right to re-open this Agreement in the event changes are made in the healthcare and prescription offerings by the NJSHBP.


Employee as used herein means a bargaining unit member who works 20 or more hours per week. Your eligible dependents, for comprehensive medical, hospital and prescription drug coverage under the NJSHBP are currently defined as your spouse/civil union partner and/or your unmarried children under age 23 who live with you in a regular parent-child relationship. This includes children who are away at school as well as divorced children living at home and dependent upon you for support. Eligible dependents for optical and dental coverage are defined by the County’s provider contracts.

Leave of Absence: When an employee is granted a leave of absence unrelated to any Family and Medical Leave Act, the coverage of that employee and his/her dependents will be terminated unless the employee reimburses the County in full for the premiums due during the leave in advance of taking such leave. Employees can then re-enroll with the County group upon returning from the leave of absence. In no event can this period of reimbursed coverage exceed six (6) months.

ARTICLE XII

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES





The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, an equitable solution to the problems which may arise affecting the terms and conditions of employment under this agreement.


Nothing herein will be construed as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance to discuss the matter, informally, with the appropriate supervisor or Prosecutor.


The term "grievance" as used herein means any controversy arising over the interpretation, application, or alleged violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. An individual, the Association on behalf of the individual, or a group of individuals, may raise a “grievance.”


The following constitutes the sole and exclusive method for resolving grievances between parties covered by this agreement and shall be followed in its entirety unless any step is waived by mutual consent:


      STEP 1 - The grievance shall be submitted in writing to the immediate Supervisor within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of the grievance (or the grievant becoming aware of the grievance). The immediate Supervisor shall submit a written answer to the Association within ten (10) business days of the submission date.


      STEP 2 - If the grievance is not satisfactorily adjusted at Step 1 the grievant (or Association) may appeal to the Chief of County Investigators who will review the grievance and submit his position in writing within seven (7) business days of submission to step 2.


      STEP 3 -If the grievance is not satisfactorily adjusted at Step 2 the grievant (or Association) may appeal to the Prosecutor. The Prosecutor shall submit written answer to the grievance within seven (7) business days after submission to Step 3. Policy grievances affecting substantial number of employees (30% or greater) covered by this agreement may proceed directly to the Third Step.


      STEP 4 - If the grievance is not settled through steps 1, 2 or 3 and only if the grievance alleges a violation of terms and conditions of this agreement, then the grievant shall have the right to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Public Employment Relations Commission within ten (10) business days of the date on which the response of this representative was received or should have been received. The costs for the services of the arbitrator shall be borne by the party against whom the arbitrator decides. In the event the arbitrator reaches a decision in which both parties were found to be partially at fault, the costs will be borne equally. Any other expenses, including but not limited to the presentation of witnesses, shall be paid by the parties incurring the same.




The Arbitrator shall be bound by the provisions of this agreement and the constitution and laws of the State of New Jersey, and be restricted to the application of the facts presented to him/her by those involved in the grievance. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to add to, modify, detract from, alter in any way the provisions of this agreement or any amendment, or supplement thereto. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding.


The designated Association representative(s) shall be permitted as members of the grievance committee to confer with employees and the County Prosecutor or Chief on specific grievances in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth herein during the work hours of the employees, without loss of pay, provided the conduct of said business shall not diminish the effectiveness of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office or require the recall of off-duty employees.


The time limits expressed herein shall be strictly adhered. If any grievance has not been initiated within the time limit specified, then the grievance shall be deemed to have been abandoned. If any grievance is not processed to the next succeeding step in the grievance procedure within the time limits prescribed in the preceding, then the disposition of the grievance at the last preceding step shall be deemed conclusive. If a decision is not rendered within the time limits prescribed for a decision at any step in the grievance procedure, then the grievance shall be deemed to have been denied.


Nothing herein shall prevent the parties from mutually agreeing in writing to extend or contract the time limits provided for processing the grievance at any step in the grievance procedure.


In the event the aggrieved elects to pursue remedies available through the NJ Department of Personnel instead of the process outlined above, the grievance shall be canceled and the matter withdrawn from this procedure. It is agreed between parties that no arbitration hearing shall be held until after the expiration of at least thirty (30) business days after the decision rendered by the Prosecutor on the grievance. In the event the grievant pursues his/her remedies through the NJ Department of Personnel, the arbitration hearing, if any, shall be canceled and the grievant or the Association shall pay the filing fees and expenses incurred thereby.






ARTICLE XIII


TRAINING AND SECURITY





The employer shall provide adequate training and in-service training for each employee.


All personnel shall receive regular in-service training.

However, said counsel shall not enter an appearance on behalf of the employee without first obtaining written authorization from the County Counsel or his designee.

Written authorization shall not be required for counsel to represent employees in emergent or preliminary proceedings, including but not limited to custodial interrogations, initial court appearance, and bail hearings where it is unpractical to obtain written authorization from the County Counsel or his/her designee.


As soon as practical, counsel shall provide the County Counsel or his/her designee with a detailed statement of anticipated services, the hourly billing rate to be applied, the total anticipated expenditure of time for the case, and the anticipated charge. This statement shall be submitted in writing and shall be signed by the attorney. The County Counsel shall review this statement and, if acceptable, shall return an approved copy to counsel with authorization to provide representation. If events or circumstances of an unforeseen nature appear, counsel shall submit a revised statement of anticipated services and costs for approval by County Counsel.


Hourly rates of over $85.00 per hour will not be approved unless, in the judgment of the County Counsel, special circumstances unique to the case exist which warrant a greater fee, including but not limited to the complexity of the issues and the need for specialized trial experience. Total billings in excess of $600.00 will not be approved for municipal court matters (in the absence of special or unique circumstances attendant to the case). In the event an appeal is taken to Superior Court from a municipal court judgment of conviction, fees in excess of $800.00 will not be approved (in the absence of special or unique circumstances attendant to the case).


Payment for services rendered will be made at the conclusion of the litigation upon submission of a copy of the judgment of the court and an itemized bill, broken down in segments not greater than quarter-hours, for all services rendered. The Employer reserves the right to decline payment for any services, which are not sufficiently documented or deemed to be unreasonable in relation to the filed statement of anticipated services. In the event that a unit employee is convicted, payment will not be made to counsel unless and until said conviction is reversed on appeal. In the event that a unit employee is convicted of a criminal offense, and that conviction is either not appealed or affirmed, the Employer shall not be responsible for any cost of defense.


In the event a dispute should arise concerning the appropriate hourly rate or fee in a particular case, either party may submit the dispute to the appropriate bar association fee arbitration committee, whose decision shall be final and binding.

Access to other files may be provided in accordance with the established S.O.P. The employer shall permit the employee to respond in writing to any document in his/her file, within one (1) month of the employee being notified of its being placed therein. This response shall be attached to the particular document or instrument concerned and be made a permanent part thereof. The employer agrees to provide the employee a copy of any document or instrument contained in said files upon request of the employee (this shall be at the employee's cost if the amount of copies exceeds 10). No unsigned document or instrument (except for regular employment records which, by their nature, require no signature), nor any document or instrument of unknown or questionable origin shall be used against any employee in a disciplinary matter.
