Efficiencies. 1. The Union agrees to provide additional concessions in the annualized amount of $15 million (total and not “per bargaining unit”) in a manner more specifically described herein. The Union agrees to propose operational efficiencies, defined as reductions in costs and/ or generation of new revenue (including 50% of the amounts received through the SEIU/Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Initiative), with the goal of reaching an annualized savings in the amount of $15 million dollars for each year of this Agreement.
2. Effective March 1, 2012, PL accrual shall be reduced by 1.54 hours per pay period (as reflected in the chart, below), subject to the other paragraphs of this Article. Full-time employees shall earn paid personal leave hours as follows:
a. During the first five (5) years of employment, 0.09225 hours shall be earned for each hour in pay status per pay period up to a maximum of 7.38 hours (80 hours or more in pay status). This approximates 24 days per year. However, a full-time employee shall not be eligible to receive payment for personal leave days until after the first six (6) months of employment, except as outlined in Section 2.
b. In order to recognize longevity of service, employees with more than five (5) years of continuous service shall earn personal leave hours as follows: Year of Employment Per Hr. In Pay Status Max. Hours Earned Per Pay Period Equivalent Day* Earned Per Year 6th .09615 7.692 25 7th .09995 7.996 26 8th .10385 8.308 27 9th .10765 8.612 28 10th-15th .11155 8.924 29 16th .11535 9.228 30 17th .11925 9.540 31 18th .12305 9.844 32 19th .12695 10.156 33 20th on .13075 10.460 34 *Calculations are based on 8-hour shifts.
3. In the event that on or before September 29, 2012 the Union does not meet its goal of providing operational efficiencies consistent with the process described in paragraph 6, below, in an annualized value of $15 million, then SEIU agrees to fill the shortfall through the implementation of a combination of the following concessions: the further reduction or adjustment of PL accrual described in paragraph B.2., above; modifications to the PTO program; and/or modifications to the Extended Illness Program. The shortfall may also be made up with other concessions as proposed by the Union and approved by management. The same procedure shall be utilized for fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

Efficiencies. On each anniversary of the Effective Date, Mexcor and DA will review any cost savings with respect to the production of the Products (including component parts) that have been realized during the previous twelve (12) month period measured against the cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) set forth in Schedule A on the Effective Date.. Such cost savings are anticipated to occur as a result of Mexcor assuming the production responsibilities with respect to the Products. Fifteen percent (15%) of the gross production savings, measured against the COGS set forth in the original Schedule A, will be added to the Drinks Fees otherwise payable to DA under Section 10.a, which addition will accrue promptly with respect to sales of Products commencing the day after such anniversary date. For example, if Old Whisky River Bourbon’s Drinks Fee is ten dollars ($10) dollars per case or case equivalent and the production costs related to Old Whiskey River were reduced over the first year of the Agreement from the current $73.25 to $63.25 (a net saving of $10.00), the Drinks Fee with respect to this Product would be increased by 15% of $10, or $1.50, resulting in a revised Drinks Fee of $11.50. If during the second year of the Agreement, the productions costs increased from $63.25 to $73.25 (a net increase from the first year, but no net increase or decrease when measured against the COGS on the Effective Date), to the extent not counterbalanced by a pricing increase, the Drinks Free for this Product will return to $10.00.
Efficiencies. As the Council faces a £35 million budget gap, we asked the groups how they thought their schools could be more efficient in saving money. As part of the schools being more efficient and saving money, the students highlighted the need for increased recycling within their schools, using less paper, car sharing for teachers, and ensuring to turn off the lights after using the room.
Efficiencies. The efficiency plea is the most widely used justification in the case law of the jurisdictions under review. The plea should succeed if the conduct under review has greater pro-‐competitive than anti-‐competitive effects. This relevance of efficiencies is clearly acknowledged in Australia,1242 Canada,1243 Singapore,1244 South Africa1245 and the US.1246 However, the precise role of these efficiencies often remains unclear. Although an efficiency analysis conceptually calls for an effects analysis, I have not found cases on unilateral conduct in which the courts actually engage in a balancing test. This is perhaps understandable, as it is difficult for courts and regulators to provide a reliable quantification. The US Supreme Court already noted this problem in its 1949 Standard Oil ruling, suggesting that courts are ‘ill-‐suited’ to the task of weighing pro-‐ and anti-‐ competitive effects.1247 This is particularly the case for dynamic efficiencies, as the extent to which conduct contributes to innovation is inherently difficult to gauge.1248 More fundamentally, courts and regulators may be hesitant to decide potential conflicts between effects on allocative efficiency (welfare maximisation), productive efficiency (cost minimisation) and dynamic efficiency (innovation maximisation).1249 From a court’s perspective, there may not be a clear reason to favour one type of 1241 CCS guidelines, supra note 1117, at 4.4. 1242 Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 1990, supra note 1024. 1243 See e.g. the Canadian cases Canada Pipe, supra note 1075; and Nielsen, supra note 1059. 1244 SISTIC, supra note 1131. 1245 See e.g. Sections 8(c) and 8(d) of the SA Competition Act, and the South African Competition Tribunal rulings in Senwes (supra note 1150) and SAA I (supra note 1146).
Efficiencies. Both the Department and the HFA will strive to reduce administrative burdens arising from their common work and eliminate any unnecessary duplication in areas such as data collection, analysis, reporting and sharing. The HFA will work with other agencies operating in a similar environment, to identify areas where better collaboration and cooperation will yield efficiencies and to examine the potential for maximising shared service delivery. The HFA will continue to engage with the Department / Agency Group established to progress the matter of shared services across the Department’s agencies.

Efficiencies. By accessing this service alongside our other monitoring and evaluation services, through a single login, Contracting Bodies will be able to use the database andits functionality to run an efficient and accountable press office, enabling them to track activity, success and constantly improve efficiencies, whilst widening their relevant target audiences. We will be happy to consider any further developments and enhancements to this service in order to best support use by Contracting Bodies. We can provide a comprehensive and effective media forward planning service that will provide Contracting Bodies with alerts and insight into forthcoming editorial opportunities and diary dates. The breadth of the planning content and the client base already using and contributing to the service means it is the most accurate in the market. Our forward planning service has been used by the UK government for 15 years and has been developed with the needs of public and private sector organisations inmind, to support their specific communication needs. We evaluate all events on the basis of their relative importance to clients and the accuracy of this evaluation is a key specialism within our service. It gives the end user a clear and true picture of the forthcoming news agenda. The service can be used by Contracting Bodies in the following ways: • To understand the news agenda in relation to forthcoming news and events that may positively or negatively impact the Contracting Body. • To provide opportunities to influence the news agenda by contributing to editorial content through media relations activity or by providing expert commentary or statistical analysis. • To enable Contracting Bodies to more effectively brief spokespeople onissues that they may be asked to comment on whilst in front of the media. • To proactively approach the media with ideas and informed comment or questions. • To support the briefing of ministers or senior officials on issues ahead of overseas visits by providing an accurate scan of global economic announcements, major foreign government announcements and national and regional political developments. • To supply information about UK-wide events to regionally based teams who require both national and regional intelligence. • Covering all key industry sectors it gives a clear view of upcoming events. The 5th anniversary of the financial services bailouts is a good example, where the timings of each bailout and collapse globally were flagged in our ...
