Agreement Exclusive. The Health Department is dependent upon government funds and grants to provide public health services. All state requirements, grant requirements, and federal requirements for Federally Qualified Health Centers will control when in conflict with this agreement. Further, this agreement must be interpreted in conjunction with such requirements including, but not limited to, professional and ethical standards and SCHD protocols for quality care in the provision of health care services. The parties acknowledge that the members of this bargaining unit have strict credentialing and licensure requirements. All such requirements control over any contrary provisions of this agreement. As issues arise, the parties agree to meet and confer.
Agreement Exclusive. This Agreement shall constitute the complete, sole and exclusive Agreement between the parties covering Employee-Employer relations, provided however that any County resolution or policy regarding personnel other than that contained in this Agreement that does not conflict with this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regarding this collective bargaining unit. Changes to or creation of departmental polices shall be subject to the meet and confer process. County Resolutions have the force and effect of County law and are applicable to employees of this unit unless stated otherwise in those Resolutions as adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. County Resolutions that have the affect of changing a “condition of employment”, as the term is defined by the Public Employer Employee Relations Act, shall not be applicable to employees covered by this Agreement until such issues are negotiated for change with the Union.
Agreement Exclusive. This Agreement shall constitute the complete, sole and exclusive Agreement between the parties covering Employee-Employer relations, provided however that any County resolution or policy regarding personnel other than that contained in this Agreement that does not conflict with this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regarding this collective bargaining unit. No new or modification of County resolution or policy implemented after the effective date of this Agreement will be of any force or effect during the contract term unless the parties agree to its applicability. The County and F.O.P. agree to continue existing employee benefits and practices which relate to working conditions or the collective bargaining relationship, and which practices are unequivocal, clearly enunciated and acted upon, and readily ascertainable over a reasonable period of time as a fixed, established and accepted practice by both parties, even though such practices are not specifically referred to in this Agreement; provided, that continuance of any such benefit shall be consistent with the management’s ability to conduct business as stated herein. The parties agree that for the purpose of this agreement, authority to bargain for health insurance and related benefits will be delegated to the F.O.P. representative on the insurance committee. Because the County is self-insured for health insurance benefits, if the Board of Shawnee County Commissioners deems it no longer necessary to maintain the insurance committee, the bargaining unit will receive the standard benefit afforded all Shawnee County employees.
