Lead Workers. Lead workers who oversee day-to-day work activities are “supervisors” for the purposes of establishing reasonable suspicion and directing employees to be tested on that basis. This provision applies to lead workers who supervise or act as lead workers as part of their job description.
Lead Workers. A. Lead Worker Qualifications. Candidates for Lead Worker must meet the following criteria:
a. Must be a full time What-Comm employee
b. Minimum of two years working at What-Comm as a Dispatcher II.
c. No disciplinary action or sustained complaints on their record for the two years prior to the shift.
d. Last two annual evaluations may not contain a "needs improvement" rating in any category.
B. Lead Worker Selection. Lead Workers will be assigned by the Deputy Director utilizing a list of qualified personnel. The list will be in order of seniority with the most senior qualified employee on the top of the list. Beginning at the top of the list, the Deputy Director will assign a Lead Worker for each shift (day shift, swing shift, and night shift). Once assigned, the employee's name will be moved to the bottom of the list. If a Lead Worker is unable or incapable of performing the Lead Worker duties, they will be replaced with the next qualified dispatcher on the list. If there is not an employee on shift who meets the Lead Worker qualifications, the Deputy Director will assign a Lead Worker at his/her discretion. If neither the Supervisor nor Lead Worker are on duty, the most senior employee on shift will act as Lead Worker. If the most senior employee on shift is disqualified from consideration for Lead Worker due to sustained disciplinary action within the past two years, the next most senior employee on shift will act as Lead Worker.

Lead Workers. As recognized by the parties, in order to conduct the work of the Housing Authority and to coordinate the performance of work, from time-to-time, it may be necessary to establish Lead duties. This letter of understanding describes the joint Agreement between OPEIU, Local 8 and Pierce County Housing Authority with regard to the appropriate utilization of Leads and assignment of Lead functions. Leads are assigned by management and are able to explain or perform all duties and responsibilities of the employees they lead. ❖ Lead is not a position or job classification, it is the temporary assignment of additional administrative duties to an employee. ❖ Leads should be selected on the basis of their ability to perform the lead tasks assigned and not on the basis of seniority. Experience with Pierce County Housing Authority regulations, communication skills, technical expertise and work history should be considered in making a lead assignment. ❖ Lead assignment should be based on business need and should not be viewed as a reward for performance. ❖ As a response to business need, the Lead position is a temporary assignment and should not be viewed as a permanent position. ❖ The decision to initiate or terminate a lead assignment should be discussed privately with the affected employee prior to a public announcement. An employee may decline to accept the Lead position. In addition to performing all the duties required by the job description appropriate to the job description, leads are routinely required to: ❖ Serve as a resource person or problem solver for other employees performing similar functions within the department. ❖ Leads should be working leads. Leads should continue to perform the work of their job classification in the department and should be able to assist their co-workers in times of increased workload or temporarily reduced staffing. ❖ Leads should monitor the workflow, prioritize and direct activities of other employees within the department, assisting with scheduling work and task assignment. The lead worker does not have full formal supervisory authority for staff assigned to projects, however, in order to complete project / assignments must be able to schedule and control the daily working arrangements for a specified group of employees. ❖ Keeps management appraised of overall project performance (i.e. staffing or resource needs, completion dates, change / delays in scheduling etc.) • Distributes and reviews work performed on a daily basis ❖...
Lead Workers. When no manager is immediately present, lead workers who oversee day-to-day work activities are “managers” for the purposes of establishing reasonable suspicion and directing employees to be tested on that basis. This provision applies to lead workers who supervise or act as lead workers as part of their job description, as well as to those who receive premium pay under Addendum B, Lead Worker Assignment and Pay. Lead Workers who have not received the County’s drug and alcohol training for supervisors and managers will not have the authority to direct employees to be tested on the basis of reasonable suspicion of being under the influence.
