Guild Business. 12.1 It is recognized that from time to time it is necessary for Guild activities relating to the processing of grievances to be conducted during working hours. A Guild representative shall be permitted reasonable time to investigate and process such grievances during working hours subject to permission being granted by the appropriate non-bargaining unit supervisor. Such permission shall generally be granted unless the Guild's representative or the grievant is involved in work activity requiring immediate attention, in which case, permission will be granted as soon as reasonably possible. Guild representatives shall not interfere with Sheriff's Office activities in investigating any grievance or exercising their rights under this clause.
Guild Business. 5.1 Members of the bargaining unit selected to serve as authorized representatives of the Guild shall be certified in writing to the Employer. Each representative will be expected to perform his/her duties as a representative of the Guild on the representative’s own time. However, it is recognized that from time to time it will be necessary for Guild activities to be carried out during work hours. (For example - contract negotiations per Article 5.2, investigation and processing of complaints, disputes, and grievances, attendance at executive board meetings.) It is also recognized that there are reasonable limited deviations from this policy, such as posting of Guild notices and distribution of Guild literature, which do not require substantial periods of time. Where such activities are necessarily or reasonably to be performed during work hours, they may be done without loss of pay to the representative involved, provided the representative obtains prior approval from the Chief of Police or the Chief of Police’s designee. If a Guild representative cannot obtain prior approval, the representative will request approval as soon as practical. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Members of the Guild agree that, while they are on duty, they will conduct Guild business only when time permits and never in lieu of current duties.

The City shall recognize three (3) members of the Guild and their designated spokesman (if not an employee) for purposes of bargaining per bargaining session.

Time spent on such 13 activities shall be recorded by the Guild representative on a time record provided by the supervisor.
Guild Business. Recognizing that effective communications between management and labor are essential to the Department, employees may be granted time off with pay to attend Guild meetings so long as it does not conflict with their duties; or, to attend negotiations; or, to participate in grievance meetings. In as much as possible, every effort will be made to limit time so spent.
