Employee Representation Clauses 50, 51 and 52 of this Agreement outline the rights for Employee representatives and Union Delegates when assisting Employees. For clarity, each Employee has the right to determine whether they wish to be represented by a Union Delegate, Employee Representative, another representative of their choosing, or not at all. Such representatives (or individual Employees) are entitled to the protections of Division 4 of Part 3-1 of the Fair Work Act in relation to their involvement in lawful industrial activities.
Employee Representations The Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) he is acquiring the Option and shall acquire the Option Shares for his own account and not with a view towards the distribution thereof; (ii) he has received a copy of all reports and documents required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the last 24 months and all reports issued by the Company to its stockholders; (iii) he understands that he must bear the economic risk of the investment in the Option Shares, which cannot be sold by him unless they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or an exemption therefrom is available thereunder and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Option Shares for sale under the 1933 Act; (iv) in his position with the Company, he has had both the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the officers and directors of the Company and all persons acting on its behalf concerning the terms and conditions of the offer made hereunder and to obtain any additional information to the extent the Company possesses or may possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense necessary to verify the accuracy of the information obtained pursuant to clause (ii) above; (v) he is aware that the Company shall place stop transfer orders with its transfer agent against the transfer of the Option Shares in the absence of registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom as provided herein; and (vi) in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, the certificates evidencing the Option Shares shall bear the following legend: "The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom under said Act."
Employee Participation The Employer will assist employees' participation in health promotion and health education programs. Health promotion and health education programs that have been endorsed by the Employer (Minnesota Management & Budget) will be considered to be non-assigned job-related training pursuant to Administrative Procedure 21. Approval for this training is at the discretion of the Appointing Authority and is contingent upon meeting staffing needs in the employee's absence and the availability of funds. Employees are eligible for release time, tuition reimbursement, or a pro rata combination of both. Employees may be reimbursed for up to one hundred (100) percent of tuition or registration costs upon successful completion of the program. Employees may be granted release time, including the travel time, in lieu of reimbursement.
Participation in Employee Benefit Plans The Executive shall be permitted during the Term, if and to the extent eligible, to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plan, health program, or any pension plan or similar benefit plan of the Company, which is available generally to other senior executives of the Company.
Participation in Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans The Employee shall be entitled to participate in all plans relating to pension, thrift, profit-sharing, group life and disability insurance, medical and dental coverage, education, cash bonuses, and other retirement or employee benefits or combinations thereof, in which the Bank's executive officers participate.
Compensation; Employment Agreements; Etc Enter into or amend or renew any employment, consulting, severance or similar agreements or arrangements with any director, officer or employee of Metropolitan or its Subsidiaries, or grant any salary or wage increase or increase any employee benefit (including incentive or bonus payments), except (i) for normal individual increases in compensation to employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) for other changes that are required by applicable law, and (iii) to satisfy Previously Disclosed contractual obligations existing as of the date hereof.
Eligibility for Group Participation This section describes eligibility to participate in the Group Insurance Program.
Employee Representative The employee may choose someone to represent him or her at any step in the procedure. No person hearing a grievance need recognize more than one representative for any employee at any one time, unless he or she so desires.
Payee Representations For the purpose of Section 3(f) of this Agreement, Party A and Party B make the representations specified below, if any:
EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES The Union may, by written notice to the Director or Human Resources and the Director of Health and Human Services, designate members as shop stewards. Shop stewards shall be permitted reasonable time for Union activities. Total employee time in all the union bargaining units spent on Union business during each week shall not exceed twenty-eight (28) hours, and no individual employee shall spend more than four (4) hours of County time on Union business exclusive of the Safety Committee. Union activity shall be defined as participating in resolution of contract disputes during the life of the Agreement and the adjustment of grievances of employees in the bargaining unit, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. These permitted activities performed during the normal employee duty time of such designated shop stewards shall fall within one of the following categories: 1. Discuss with an employee a grievance or complaint. 2. Make inquiries in order to obtain relevant information related to a grievance, including discussions with supervisors, other employees or other management officials. 3. Assist employees in preparation for, or represent employees in, the appeal and review steps of the grievance procedure or in arbitration. 4. Participate in discussions or meetings with supervisors, other management officials, or other involved parties, e.g., the Union, regarding grievances and such other issues directly related to wages, hours or working conditions, and mutually agreed-upon matters. 5. Prepare for scheduled meetings between the County and the Union When any shop xxxxxxx is conducting business as defined above, the xxxxxxx will request the permission of his/her immediate supervisor in reasonable advance of any meeting, advising the supervisor of his/her destination and when he/she expects to return. Upon returning to his/her duty station, the shop xxxxxxx will notify his/her supervisor. Upon arriving at the workplace of an employee to be represented, the shop xxxxxxx shall normally be permitted to contact the employee. The represented employee also shall be required to request permission for time off in reasonable advance of any meeting. To the maximum extent possible, interviews between representatives and the employees will be held away from other employees and away from the public. All union activities shall be conducted in such a manner as not to disrupt departmental business or the activities of the employees involved.
