Purpose and Administration. The purpose of this program is to allow certain bargaining unit employees the opportunity voluntarily to share a job while working in a part-time/half-time appointment to enable them to care for immediate family dependents. The administration of this program shall not be done in an arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory manner. In order to make the program possible, the county has advised Lodge 35 that the county intends unilaterally to create an even number of job sharing, half-time positions in the police department. The county intends to create at least nine such positions as needed to accommodate at least eighteen unit members at or below the rank of MPO, and four unit members of the rank of sergeant, who volunteer. It is recognized that the county is not obliged to create, staff or maintain half-time/part-time positions.
