Court Appearance (a) In the event an Employee is required to appear before a court of law as a member of a jury, as a witness in a criminal matter or as a witness in any matter arising out of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, the Employee shall:
(i) suffer no loss of regular earnings for the scheduled Shift(s) so missed;
(ii) be paid an amount equal to the Employee’s average daily earnings at the Basic Rate of Pay to a maximum of the Employee’s regularly scheduled daily hours for each day in attendance in court on a scheduled day of rest, and be granted an alternate day of rest as scheduled by the Employer. Such rescheduling of the day of rest shall not be construed to be a violation of the scheduling provisions of Article 7:
Court Appearance Leave Leave shall be granted for appearance before a court, legislative committee, or other judicial or quasi-judicial body in response to a subpoena, or other direction of proper authority, for job related purposes other than those instituted by the employee or the exclusive representative.

Leave for Court Appearances (a) The Employer shall grant paid leave to employees, other than employees on leave without pay, who serve as jurors or witnesses in a court action, provided such court action is not occasioned by the employee's private affairs.
(b) In cases where an employee's private affairs have occasioned a court appearance, such leave to attend at court shall be without pay.
(c) An employee in receipt of their regular earnings while serving at court shall remit to the Employer all monies paid to them by the court, except travelling and meal allowances not reimbursed by the Employer.
(d) In the event an accused employee is jailed pending a court appearance, such leave of absence shall be without pay.
(e) For all the above leaves, the employee shall advise their supervisor as soon as they are aware that such leave is required.
Arbitration Appeal A. If an employee grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the aggrieved employee or the PBA may, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Step 2 response, submit a request for arbitration to the Labor Relations Office.
B. In non-disciplinary grievances, either the PBA or the Employer may request to take the issue or grievance directly to arbitration by submitting the request for arbitration to the Labor Relations Office.
C. If the parties fail to mutually agree upon an arbitrator within five (5) calendar days after the date of receipt of the arbitration request, a list of seven (7) qualified neutrals shall be requested and paid for by the moving party from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). Within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the list, the parties shall meet and alternately strike names on the list, and the remaining name shall be the arbitrator. A coin shall be tossed to determine who shall strike first. Each party has the right to reject one list. The party rejecting the list shall be responsible for paying for and obtaining the next list and the above described procedures will be followed for selection from the list. If the selected arbitrator is not available for a hearing within ninety (90) days of the date the arbitrator was selected, another list may be requested by the Labor Relations Office, which will pay the fee for that particular list. If the grievant is not represented by the Union, the list of arbitrators shall be requested from the American Arbitration Association with the moving party paying whatever fees may be charged. Once a list has been obtained, the procedures detailed above shall be used for selecting an arbitrator.
D. The hearing on the grievance shall be informal and the rules of evidence shall not apply; however, to assure an orderly hearing, the rules of judicial procedure should be followed as closely as possible.
Jury Duty and Court Appearances Leave of absence without loss of pay and benefits will be provided to an employee summoned to serve on a jury or when subpoenaed or summoned as a witness in a criminal or civil proceeding not occasioned by the employee's private affairs, or when the employee accompanies a dependent child when the child is subpoenaed or summoned to appear as a witness in a criminal or civil proceeding. An employee in receipt of pay or benefits under this Article has the responsibility to reimburse the employer all monies paid to him/her by the Court, except travelling and meal allowances not reimbursed by the employer.

Stipulated Facts For purposes of this Agreement only, the following constitutes a summary of facts by the EPA and SCDHEC upon which this Agreement is based.
A. The DOE owns and operates the SRS. The SRS produces plutonium, tritium, and other special nuclear materials for national defense, for other governmental uses, and for civilian uses. The SRS is the nation's primary source of reactor-produced nuclear defense materials. Construction of the SRS began in 1951. The SRS is located near Aiken, South Carolina, and is approximately twenty-five (25) miles southeast of Augusta, Georgia. The SRS encompasses approximately three hundred (300) square miles.
B. In March 1979, the SRS discontinued operation of seven (7) chemical, metal, and pesticide disposal pits. In 1984, under the approval and supervision of the State of South Carolina, the SRS excavated these pits and removed contaminated material. Additional groundwater monitoring xxxxx were installed.
C. On December 19, 1979, pursuant to the State of South Carolina's regulations, the SRS notified the SCDHEC of SRS's hazardous waste management activities. The SRS submitted a copy of its notification to the EPA.
D. In August 1980, pursuant to Section 3010 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. § 6910, the SRS notified EPA of SRS's hazardous waste management activities and submitted a copy of the notification to the SCDHEC.
E. On September 29, 1980, the SRS submitted "Part A" of its hazardous waste management permit application to the SCDHEC and EPA. Since that time, the SRS has modified its "Part A" to include new units or modifications to existing units. The SRS submitted "Part B" of its permit application on February 11, 1985.
F. In February 1984, the SRS began groundwater corrective/remedial action by the use of an air stripper at the SRS M-Area.
G. On May 8, 1984, the SRS prepared an assessment of its waste disposal sites and groundwater impacts (Technical Summary Groundwater Quality Protection Program at Savannah River Plant).
H. On May 31, 1984, the DOE notified the EPA of potential CERCLA sites at DOE facilities, including the SRS.
I. On January 7, 1987, the SRS submitted to EPA a document entitled, "Waste Management Units - Savannah River Plant," which contained a listing of solid waste management units (SWMUs) on the SRS. The SWMUs list is revised annually and provided to EPA and SCDHEC.
J. On September 30, 1987, the SCDHEC and EPA issued a RCRA permit for the SRS. The Federal RCRA permit requires the SRS to initiate RFIs for listed SWMUs under the authority of RCRA Sections 3004(u) and (v). The State Hazardous Waste permit contains similar conditions under Section 44-56- 10, et seq., of the Hazardous Waste Management Act. The list of SWMUs was revised on May 30, 1990, to include a total of eighty-one (81) SWMUs.
K. On October 16, 1987, the SRS submitted to EPA draft Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scores and supporting information for sixty-six (66) potential sites on the SRS. On April 28, 1988, the SRS submitted to EPA its Preliminary Assessments for these sites.
L. In December 1987, the SRS published its final environmental impact statement (EIS), entitled, "Waste Management Activities for Groundwater Protection: Savannah River Plant; Aiken, South Carolina." The purpose of the EIS was to identify and select a waste management strategy for the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous, radioactive, and mixed wastes.
M. On May 2, 1988, the SRS submitted an RFI Program Plan to EPA and SCDHEC pursuant to its RCRA permit. On September 6, 1989, EPA conditionally approved the RFI Program Plan.
N. On July 14, 1989, EPA proposed the SRS for inclusion on the NPL at 40 CFR Part 300 (54 Federal Register 29820).
O. On November 21, 1989, EPA finalized the SRS on the NPL at 40 CFR Part 300 (54 Federal Register 48184), which became effective on December 21, 1989.
P. The SRS is engaged in the generation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes as defined in RCRA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901, et seq., and as defined in the HWMA, S.C. Code Xxx. §§ 44-56-10, et seq. (Supp 1988).
Q. The SRS releases, has released, and threatens to release hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants into the environment, as defined in CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601, et seq.
R. Hazardous constituents, as defined by RCRA, and hazardous substances as defined by CERCLA, are present in the environment at the SRS.
