Hourly Employees A new hourly employee shall be on probation for the first year of continuous employment. The employer shall have the right to extend the probationary period by one (1) year if the employee receives a less than satisfactory evaluation. During such probationary period, the employee may be disciplined, suspended or discharged by the Employer for reasons satisfactory to the Employer. Paid leave time shall serve as part of continuous employment.
No New Employees New employees shall not be hired until those laid off have been given an opportunity of recall.
RETIREE HEALTH SAVINGS PLAN Effective, December 24, 2006, or as soon as administratively possible, the County shall establish a retiree health savings plan (RHSP) by contributing an amount of $25.00 to the employee’s RHSP each biweekly pay period.
Auxiliary Employees (a) An auxiliary employee shall receive a letter of appointment clearly stating their employment status and expected duration of employment.
Continuing Employees “Continuing Employees” is defined in Section 6.4 of the Agreement.
Transferred Employees Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with non- standard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.
Auxiliary Employee (i) Auxiliary employee means an employee of the bargaining unit not employed as a regular employee and may be employed for:
Transportation Employees 20.1 Bus drivers shall be paid for actual time worked.
Cafeteria Plan As of the Benefit Commencement Date, New Parkway or any of its Subsidiaries shall establish a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “New Parkway Cafeteria Plan”) and health care and dependent care flexible spending reimbursement accounts thereunder in which Transferring Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may be immediately eligible to participate. As soon as practicable following the Benefit Commencement Date, the Cousins Group shall determine the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under Cousin’s cafeteria plan or Legacy Parkway’s cafeteria plan, as applicable, in which such Transferring Employees participated (the “Cousins Cafeteria Plans”) made during the year in which the Distribution Date occurs by the Transferring Employees less the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year up to the day immediately prior to the Benefit Commencement Date from such accounts to such Transferring Employees (the “Net FSA Balance”). If the Net FSA Balance is (a) positive, the Cousins Group shall pay to the New Parkway Group an amount in cash equal to the Net FSA Balance or (b) negative, the New Parkway Group shall pay to the Cousins Group, the absolute value of the Net FSA Balance attributable to Transferring Parkway Employees. New Parkway or its applicable Subsidiary shall cause the balance (whether positive or negative) of each Transferring Employee’s accounts under the Cousins Cafeteria Plans as of the Benefit Commencement Date to be credited to the Transferring Employee’s corresponding accounts under the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan in which such Transferring Employee participates following the Benefit Commencement Date. On and after the Benefit Commencement Date, New Parkway shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by the Transferring Employees with respect to the plan year that includes the Distribution Date, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Distribution Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Benefit Commencement Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan. New Parkway agrees to cause the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan to honor, through the end of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, the elections made by each Transferring Employee under the Cousins Cafeteria Plans in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Benefit Commencement Date.
Health Care Savings Plan As provided in this Agreement, eligible ASF Members will participate in the health care savings plan (HCSP) established under Minnesota Statute 352.98, and as administered by the Plan Administrator.
