Participation, Scheduling, and Compensation. Since participation on Joint Labor Management Committees is viewed as mutually desirable for the City and AFSCME, no person will be penalized for, or benefit from, participation on these committees. Committee meetings will be scheduled in a manner to ensure appropriate notice to members’ supervisors, and in a way which minimizes the impact on work units of the committee members during their absence to attend meetings. Members who must attend committee meetings outside of their regular work schedule shall adjust their schedule to accommodate the meeting time if approved by their supervisor. If such adjustment is not approved, the Department Director may approve additional work hours to accommodate the meeting. If the Department Director does not approve the additional hours, the City will contact the Union to make other arrangements which are mutually acceptable. The City shall notify the Union of any vacancies or participation issues.
