PREAMBLE
WHEREAS, the Ocean County Board of Social Services, Toms River, New Jersey, (hereinafter referred to as the “Board”), and the Office & Professional Employees International Union, Local 153, AFL-CIO (Supervisory Unit) (hereinafter referred to as the “Union”), are desirous of entering into an agreement for the establishment of salaries, benefits and enumeration of other terms and conditions of employment, which shall be effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

ARTICLE II - HOURS OF WORK
A. The normal workweek for all employees covered by this collective bargaining agreement shall consist of 40 hours per week, which will be made up of eight (8) work hours per day plus a lunch period of no less than thirty (30) minutes and no more than one (1) hour.
B. Employees may request alternate hours of work to achieve eighty (80) hours per pay period. It is the desire of the Agency to afford employees the opportunity to adjust their workday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Employees may be assigned to work hours up through 6:30 pm on Tuesdays.
C. Earned time carried over by an employee must be utilized within a one (1) week pay period and not carried over to a second week.
D. The Director or Director’s Designee may arrange the lunch hours of employees to ensure that sufficient staff is available to the public at all times.
E. All hours for which an employee is deemed to be on active pay status shall be counted toward the threshold of a forty (40) hour work week. All hours in excess of forty (40) shall be compensated at time and one-half (1 ½) if wages are paid, or at the Director’s or Director’s Designee’s sole discretion, at time and one-half (1 ½) compensatory time. The Director or Director’s Designee must specifically authorize all overtime. The employee will be notified of the compensation method at the time the overtime is authorized.
F. The Agency shall be closed when the Director declares a State of Emergency. This closure shall be considered part of the work week and included as paid time.
ARTICLE III - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
A. Purpose
1. The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problems which may arise affecting the terms and conditions of employment. The parties agree that this procedure will be kept as informal as may be appropriate.
Prior to any formal grievance being filed, the grievant and his/her steward may attempt to resolve a grievance in the informal manner specified below:
(i) The grievant and/or his/her steward may notify the grievant’s
immediate supervisor that a potential grievance exists and that an informal fact-finding meeting is desired to discuss the issue. The grievant’s immediate supervisor shall then schedule a meeting within three (3) working days to discuss the issue. Both the grievant and his/her steward may attend such a meeting with no loss of pay. If no resolution of the issue is forthcoming from this meeting, a formal grievance can be filed.
(ii) This informal grievance resolution mechanism shall in no instance change the specified time limits for filing a grievance unless both the Union and the Board mutually agree in writing to extend the time limits.
2. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with any appropriate member of the Administration, and having the grievance adjusted without the intervention of the Union.
3. The Union may propose that the first step of the grievance procedure be waived provided that said grievance is a non-contractual grievance on a Board policy matter. The proposal to waive the first step must be mutually agreed to by the Director of the Agency or Director’s Designee, and the Union representative.
B. Definition: The term “grievance” shall mean an allegation that there has been:
1. A misrepresentation or misapplication of the terms of this Agreement which is subject to the grievance procedure outlined herein and shall hereinafter be referred to as a “contractual grievance,” or
2. Inequitable, improper, unjust application or misinterpretation of rules or regulations, existing policy, or orders applicable to the Board of Social Services which shall be processed up to and including the Board of Social Services, and shall hereinafter be referred to as a “non-contractual grievance.”
C. Presentation of a Grievance: The Board of Social Services agrees that in the presentation of a grievance (at Steps 1, 2, & 3) there shall be no loss of pay for the time spent in presenting the grievance by the grievant and one (1) Union representative, who is an employee of the Board, throughout the grievance procedure. This shall include two (2) days for presentation of Unfair Labor Practice complaints.
D. Steps of the Grievance: The following constitutes the sole and exclusive method for resolving grievances between the parties covered by this Agreement:
Step One
a. The grievant shall institute action under the provisions hereof in writing, signed and delivered to his/her supervisor within fifteen (15) working days after the grievant would reasonably be expected to know of its occurrence. Failure to act within said fifteen (15) days shall be deemed to constitute an abandonment of the grievance. The grievant may be represented by an employee who is a Shop Steward.
b. The Supervisor shall render a decision in writing within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of the grievance.
a. In the event satisfactory settlement has not been reached, the grievant shall, in writing and signed, file his/her complaint with the Director of the Ocean County Board of Social Services within fifteen (15) working days following the determination at Step One. The grievant may be represented by an employee who is a Shop Steward.
b. The Director of the Ocean County Board of Social Services, or Director’s Designee, shall render his/her decision within fifteen (15) working days after the receipt of the complaint. The decision of the Director or Director’s Designee shall be a final agency determination for the Board.
c. While disciplinary grievances cannot be pursued to binding arbitration, the Union may pursue up to three (3) disciplinary grievances, per calendar year, to advisory arbitration. The Union shall be considered to have “pursued” a grievance to arbitration on the day the Union contacts the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) to assign an arbitrator and schedule an arbitration hearing. The contact with PERC may be oral or written. If there is any question as to the date of the contact, both parties may verify and confirm the date of contact with PERC.
d. The grievant may be represented by the Business Representative, Union Counsel, or both. A minority organization shall not present or process a grievance.
Step Three
a. Any unresolved contractual grievance (as defined in Section B - Definitions) except matters involving appointment, promotion, or assignment or matters within the exclusive province of the Civil Service Commission, may be appealed to arbitration only by the Union. The Union must file the request for arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of the Director’s decision.
b. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as compelling the Union to submit a grievance to arbitration or to represent an employee before the Civil Service Commission. The Union’s decision to request the movement of a grievance to arbitration or to terminate the grievance prior to submission to arbitration shall be final as to the interest of the grievant and the Union.
c. Where the grievance involves an alleged violation of individual rights specified in Civil Service Commission regulations for which a specific appeal to the Civil Service Commission is available, the individual may present his/her complaint to the Civil Service Commission directly. The grievant may pursue the Civil Service Commission procedure or the grievance procedure as herein provided. Once the grievant makes the selection of procedure, such selection shall be deemed final and binding and constitute an absolute waiver of the procedure not selected. The election will be made in writing at the appropriate time on the grievance form.
d. For those grievances which may be submitted to arbitration, an Arbitrator shall be assigned by PERC.
e. The decision or award of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Board of Social Services, the Union, and the grievant or grievants to the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement, except where arbitration is pursued under Step Two of this Article.
f. The Arbitrator may prescribe an appropriate back pay remedy when he/she finds a violation of this Agreement, provided such remedy is permitted by law and is consistent with the terms of the Agreement, except that he/she may not make an award which exceeds the Board of Social Services’ authority. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to prescribe a monetary award as penalty for a violation of this Agreement.
g. The Arbitrator shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or modify the provisions of this Agreement and shall confine his/her decision solely to the interpretation and application of this Agreement. He/she shall confine him/herself to the precise issues submitted for arbitration and shall have no authority to determine any other issues not so submitted to him/her, nor shall he/she submit observations or a declaration of opinions which are not essential in reaching the determination.
h. The cost of the services of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Board and the Union. Any other expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration shall be paid by the party incurring the same.
i. The cost of the transcript, if any, will be borne by the party requesting it. If both parties request a transcript, the cost shall be shared equally.
j. Grievance settlements or decisions shall be binding and evidential in proceedings between the parties. There is no right to re-arbitrate the same issue already resolved by grievance proceedings. This is not to be construed as limiting the right of either party to introduce relevant evidence, including such grievance resolution, as to the prior conduct of the other party.
ARTICLE IV - DUES DEDUCTION
A. The Board agrees to deduct monthly from the pay of each employee, who furnishes a written authorization for such deduction in the form acceptable to the Board, the amount of Union dues as specified by the Union. Notification of any increase in dues shall be furnished to the Board by the Union at least thirty (30) days prior to the month in which the change of Union dues is to be made. Deduction of Union dues made pursuant hereto shall be remitted by the Board to the Union; c/o Secretary-Treasurer, Office & Professional Employees International Union, Local 153 A.F.L.-C.I.O.

D. When an employee who is paying either the Union Dues or Representation Fee, is assigned to work in a position which is not recognized as being a part of the OPEIU bargaining unit on an interim or temporary appointment basis, such employee’s Union Dues or Representation Fee shall cease to be paid to the bargaining unit after the employee has been working in the interim or temporary assignment for a period in excess of 45 days. Additionally, when an employee is assigned to work in a position which is recognized as being a part of the OPEIU bargaining unit on an interim or temporary basis, the Board shall have no obligation to deduct either the Union Dues or Representation Fee until the employee has worked in the interim or temporarily assigned position for longer than 45 days.

B. In the event of rehire, such Representation Fee shall commence after thirty (30) days after the date of rehire.
C. The Union will indemnify and save harmless the Board against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability action that shall arise out of the deduction of Paragraph A above.
D. When an employee who is paying either the Union Dues or Representation Fee, is assigned to work in a position which is not recognized as being a part of the OPEIU bargaining unit on an interim or temporary appointment basis, such employee’s Union Dues or Representation Fee shall cease to be paid to the bargaining unit after the employee has been working in the interim or temporary assignment for a period in excess of 45 days. Additionally, when an employee is assigned to work in a position which is recognized as being a part of the OPEIU bargaining unit on an interim or temporary basis, the Board shall have no obligation to deduct either the Union Dues or Representation Fee until the employee has worked in the interim or temporarily assigned position for longer than 45 days.

Employee reimbursement for these expenses is limited to up to $500.00 per employee per contract year.
D. Employees may seek reimbursement for education expenses related to courses that are directly related to the work the employee is performing for the Board on a daily basis, as an employee of the Board, or which enhances an employee’s opportunity for promotional title within this Agency. Requests for this reimbursement will be considered and if acceptable, will be approved on a “first come, first served” basis.

E. Reimbursement for all courses of this nature must first be approved by the Director or the Director’s Designee.

If an employee’s grades, certificate or other proof of satisfactory completion of the course will not be available by December 15 of the contract year, the employee shall submit proof of payment and shall complete documents as required by the Director or the Director’s Designee to insure the amount requested is obligated against the education expenses reserve allocated for that contract year. In this instance, payment to the employee will be made contingent upon the Director’s receipt of all proofs no later than January 15th of the following year. The Director shall inform the employee of his/her decision for reimbursement within thirty (30) days.
G. An employee may request an adjustment of working hours to attend classes held during normal working hours. Such requests will be considered in accordance with Board policies and procedures as prescribed in the OCBSS Personnel Handbook.

D. The employee shall provide the name of the deceased, his/her relationship to the employee, and the date of death to the immediate supervisor at the time of the request.
