RIGHTS OF THE EMPLOYER. The Employer reserves and retains, solely and exclusively, all of its inherent and customary rights, powers, functions and authority of management to manage the operation of EMS, and its judgment in these respects shall not be subject to challenge. These rights reserved by and vested in the Employer include, but are not limited to, those provided by constitutional and statutory provisions of law, as well as the rights to, in the sole discretion of the Employer, direct, hire, promote, transfer, assign, retain, layoff, to determine the starting and quitting times of all shifts (excepting 24 hour shifts as provided for in this Agreement) and the hours to be worked; to determine the location and assignment of facilities and equipment; to determine the methods, means and personnel required to provide ambulance service for the County. However, the Employer’s authority to suspend, demote, discharge, or discipline non-probationary employees is limited to situations in which there exist just cause. The Employer shall also have the right to establish and enforce rules and regulations relating to personnel policies, procedures and working conditions not inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement. The Union hereby agrees that the Employer retains the sole and exclusive right to establish and administer without limitation, implied or otherwise, all matters not specifically and expressly limited by this Agreement.
