Change to PERS. The employer shall “pick-up” the 6% employee contribution consistent with Section 13.2 and 13.3. The parties acknowledge the 6% payment is inapplicable to employees who are not PERS or OPSRP members due to insufficient service. For the duration of this agreement, if for any reason the entire 6% payment becomes no longer legally available for deposit into the Individual Account Program (IAP), the employer shall on the first payroll period following the effective date of the change increase the wages of any affected employee by 6%. Bargaining unit members who are paying their own employee PERS contribution shall not be eligible for this adjustment. In the event that there are other changes to PERS that impacts a mandatory subject of bargaining that result in a reduction to the contribution to the Individual Account Program (IAP), and a cost savings for the Employer, the Union may demand to bargain the impacts of such a decision in accordance with the expedited bargaining process (ORS 243.698).
