Recall Procedures A. Eligibility to be recalled from layoff and employment shall terminate after fourteen (14) months. Employees shall be recalled from layoff based on seniority in the following order:
1. Employees shall be recalled to the position from which they were laid off starting within the employee’s Department; or,
2. Employees shall be recalled to other positions within the position series from which they were laid off starting with the employee’s Department and then other Departments, provided the employee possesses the qualifications, performance record, aptitude, and ability to perform the work; or
3. Employees shall be recalled to other positions the employee previously held, provided the employee completed probation in that position starting with the employee’s Department and then other Departments, and provided the employee possesses the qualifications, performance record, aptitude, and ability to perform the work.
4. Employees shall be recalled from layoff into vacant County positions not previously held provided: 1) The employee possesses the qualifications, performance record, aptitude, ability to perform the work, and the ability to meet the minimum requirements for the position as defined in the job description; and 2) The employee specifies in writing to the Human Resources Office, within thirty (30) days of the date of layoff, the position(s) they want to be considered for recall.
B. Employees on layoff who have been offered recall, and who have voluntarily refused such recall, shall be removed from the recall list and their employment shall be terminated. A form provided by the Human Resources Office signed by the employee shall document this recall refusal.
C. When necessary, the Human Resources Director shall determine the recalled employee’s qualifications, performance record, aptitude, and ability to perform the work through discussions with the applicable Supervisor and a meeting with the employee. The employee shall be notified of the right to have a representative of his or her choosing present. If there is a disagreement over the County not allowing the employee to exercise recall rights, the Human Resources Director shall document this disagreement.
D. After finding out more information about a specific job(s), a recalled employee may decide their overall qualifications, aptitude and ability are not compatible with the requirements of the job and may request to remain on the County recall list rather than pursue recall to the available position. Authorization to remain on layoff status, and return to the recall list after declining recall, must be mutually agreed upon. A form produced by the Human Resources Office and signed by the employee shall document this process.
E. Laid off employees shall report to work on the date specified in the notice of recall, such date shall be not less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the notice unless mutually agreed upon.
Payroll Procedures
A. The District will continue a 26-equal pay payroll schedule for employees who work at least a 190 day work calendar with paychecks electronically deposited every other Friday in the employee’s choice of a financial institution beginning on a Friday selected by the District. If a Friday pay date falls on a date the District is closed, the paychecks will be electronically deposited no later than the Friday pay date the District is closed unless such Friday is a banking holiday. In such cases, the paychecks will be electronically deposited no later than the last preceding banking day. The District will continue a 22 equal pay payroll schedule for employees who work less than a 190-day work calendar and they will have their payroll checks electronically deposited every other Friday on a Friday selected by the District as provide above for employees who work at least a 190-day work calendar. The District will work with employees who do not have an account with a financial institution to establish an account(s) with the Credit Union to provide for these electronic deposits.
B. The Parties recognize the right of the District to require the electronic deposit of all employees’ paychecks as set forth above; however, the District has not mandated such electronic deposits and will not do so without first giving the Union and each affected employee at least forty-five (45) calendar days advance notice of its intent to implement electronic deposits for all employees. The District will work with employees who do not have an account with a financial institution to establish an account(s) with the Credit Union to provide for these electronic deposits. Until such time the District requires electronic deposits of all employees’ paychecks, those employees who do not have electronic deposit will be paid via US Mail so that they receive their mailed paychecks on or soon after the normal Friday pay date. Those employees who select electronic deposit of their paychecks will maintain that means of receiving their pay and may not revert to any other means of being paid.
C. The District will implement a paperless payroll effective January 1, 2011 whereas employees will not receive a paper pay stub, but will be able to access payroll stub and other payroll information including their Federal W-2 Annual Earnings Statement by going to a District website location and, after entering their personal password, be able to view and retrieve their individual payroll information as well as being able to view and make some payroll information changes on-line such as the employee’s Federal W-4 Form. Employees who are in need of computer training to be able to access this information will be offered this training at a mutually agreed time during or after their regular working hours.
D. The Union is invited to appoint two (2) representatives to provide input on topics that will be addressed by the District’s ad hoc Payroll Advisory Committee. One topic of the ad hoc Payroll Advisory Committee will be to make an annual recommendation to the Chief Operating Officer of the first Friday paycheck date of each school year for employees who are less than 12 month employees. Another topic to be addressed by this ad hoc Committee will be to recommend to the District the best means of communicating in advance with all employee groups the payroll schedules for the ensuing school year. To that end, such Union representatives will be provided a TDE at District expense to attend meetings of this Committee when such meetings are scheduled during regular duty hours.
New Procedures New procedures as to who shall provide certain of these services in Section 1 may be established in writing from time to time by agreement between the Fund and the Transfer Agent.

Operational Procedures In order to minimize operational problems, it will be necessary for trade information to be supplied in a secure manner by the Subadviser to the Fund’s Service Providers, including: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Custodian”), Virtus Fund Services (the “Fund Administrator”) BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., (the “Sub-Accounting Agent”), any Prime Broker to the Series, and all other Counterparties/Brokers as required. The Subadviser must furnish the Fund’s service providers with required daily information as to executed trades in a format and time-frame agreed to by the Subadviser, Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties and designated persons of the Fund. Trade information sent to the Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties must include all necessary data within the required timeframes to allow such parties to perform their obligations to the Series. The Sub-Accounting Agent specifically requires a daily trade blotter with a summary of all trades, in addition to trade feeds, including, if no trades are executed, a report to that effect. Daily information as to executed trades for same-day settlement and future trades must be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent no later than 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of the trade each day the Fund is open for business. All other executed trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent on Trade Date plus 1 by Noon (Eastern Time) to ensure that they are part of the Series’ NAV calculation. (The Subadviser will be responsible for reimbursement to the Fund for any loss caused by the Subadviser’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Schedule A.) On fiscal quarter ends and calendar quarter ends, all trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent by 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) for inclusion in the financial statements of the Series. The data to be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent and/or Fund Administrator will be as agreed by the Subadviser, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and designated persons of the Fund and shall include (without limitation) the following:
Referral Procedures Section 1. For Local Unions now having a job referral system as contained in their Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Contractor agrees to utilize such system and it shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as it may be modified by this Article. Referrals shall not be affected by obligations of Union membership or the lack thereof. Where airport security clearance requirements apply to work to be performed, the Contractor shall inform the Union’s hiring hall dispatcher of those requirements when requesting workers.
Section 2. In the event that Local Unions are unable to fill any request for employees within the time specified by the local CBAs the Contractor may employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall inform the Union of the name and social security number of any applicants hired from other sources and shall refer the applicant to the Local Union for dispatch to the projects prior to the commencement of work.
Section 3. There shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her membership or non-membership in the union or based upon race, creed, color, sex, age or national origin, or any other legally protected class of such employee or applicant.
Section 4. No employee covered by this Agreement shall be required to join any Union as a condition of being employed on the project; provided, however, that an employee who is a member of the referring union at the time of the referral shall maintain that membership while employed under the Agreement. All employees shall, however, be required to comply with the union security provision of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, for the period during which they are performing on-site work, except as modified by this Agreement. The Contractor agrees to deduct union dues or representation fees, whichever is applicable, from the pay of any employee who executes a voluntary authorization for such deductions and to remit the dues to the Union or Council.
Section 5. The parties agree that where a Contractor is not party to a current Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Union having jurisdiction over the affected work, the Contractor may request by name, and the Local will honor, referral of up to a maximum of five (5) persons per each contractor (“core” employees), provided that the Contractor first demonstrate that those persons possess the following qualifications:
(1) Any license required by state or federal law for the project work to be performed;
(2) Have worked a total of at least one thousand (1,000) hours in the construction craft during the prior three (3) years;
(3) Were on the Contractor’s active payroll for at least sixty (60) out of the one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to the contract award;
(4) Have the ability to perform the work safely. The Contractor may elect to hire its first “core” employee to be a xxxxxxx. After the contractor hires his first core employee, the Union will refer to such contractor one journeyman employee from the hiring hall out-of–work list for the affected trade or craft, then refer one of such Contractor’s “core” employees as a journeyman, and shall, alternate, one core employee and one employee from the out-of-work list, until such Contractor’s crew requirements are met or until such Contractor has hired five (5) “core” employees, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be hired exclusively from the hiring hall out-of-work list(s). For the duration of the Contractor’s work the ratio of “core” employees to hiring hall referrals shall be maintained and when the Contractor’s workforce is reduced, employees shall be reduced in the same ratio as was applied in the initial hiring. All employees, core and union, shall be dispatched from the appropriate union. Trust benefits shall be paid on all employees, core and union.
Section 6. Upon referral or dispatch from a Union, “turnaround” or refusal of any worker by the Contractors, requires written explanation from the Contractor that shall be communicated from the Prime Contractor to the Port and affected Union within 48 hours.
Section 7. Individual seniority will not be recognized or applied to employees working on the project. This provision will not interfere with or supersede the use by individual Contractors of “call lists” maintained by such Contractor pursuant to addenda to the local Collective Bargaining Agreement between such Contractor and a Union signatory to this Agreement.
Section 8. The selection of craft foremen and/or general foremen and the number of such foremen and/or general foremen required shall be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor. Craft foremen shall be designated working foremen at the request of the Contractor. Craft workers covered by this Agreement will, in the normal day- to-day operations, take their direction and supervision from their xxxxxxx.
