(b) A Chief Xxxxxxx or designate may, in the absence of any xxxxxxx, assist in the presentation of any grievance, or with any xxxxxxx function.
(c) The Union shall keep the Hospital notified in writing of the names of Union stewards appointed or selected under this Article as well as the effective date of their respective appointments.
(d) It is agreed that Union stewards have their regular duties and responsibilities to perform for the Hospital and shall not leave their regular duties without first obtaining permission from their immediate supervisor. If, in the performance of his duties, a Union xxxxxxx is required to enter an area within the Hospital in which he is not originally employed, he shall report his presence to the supervisor in the area immediately upon entering it. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. When resuming his regular duties and responsibilities, such xxxxxxx shall again report to his immediate supervisor. A Union xxxxxxx shall suffer no loss of earnings for time spent in performing the above duties during his regular scheduled working hours.

VEBA The school corporation shall contribute to a voluntary employee’s beneficiary association (VEBA) as described in section 501 c (9) of the Code, that amount representing the present value of all benefits as calculated for all employees under Subsection B above. This benefit shall be deposited with the single investment vendor for the VEBA selected by the association and board. The terms and conditions for the administration and operations of the VEBA shall be as follows:
(1) The amount calculated for each employee will be invested in a separate account. For those employees who are married to another employee covered by this collective bargaining agreement and receiving health insurance buyout dollars, the amount deposited in each married employee’s account will be divided equally. Any spouse hired after June 30, 2002 will not be entitled to any payment for the eliminated retirement benefits. There will be no commingling of accounts and each employee may determine how his or her account shall be invested among the investment options made available by the vendor for the VEBA.
(2) Until such time that an employee has retired and satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in this Appendix, the employee shall have no access to the assets held in his or her separate VEBA account.
(3) If an employee retires or otherwise terminates employment before satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Article, the terminated employee’s VEBA account shall be forfeited. Forfeited amounts shall be calculated at the end of each plan year only among the remaining separate VEBA accounts. This reallocation shall be in a manner similar to that used by Educational Services in initially determining the present value calculations. Therefore, VEBA accounts of the following employees will not share in the reallocation of a forfeiture of a VEBA account.
(i) Employees who forfeited their VEBA accounts in the same year;
(ii) Employees who previously forfeited their VEBA accounts;
(iii) Employees who have attained the age of sixty (60) and terminated employment in or before the year of reallocated forfeiture. Furthermore, XXXX accounts of employees who have attained the age of sixty (60), but who have not terminated employment may share in the reallocated forfeiture, but on a reduced basis. The forfeiture amounts as calculated herein shall be deposited into each individual’s account October 1 of each year.
(4) Following retirement and the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Appendix, a retired employee may use the amounts held in his/her separate VEBA account to pay health insurance premiums and to be reimbursed for unreimbursed medical expenses of the employee, spouse, and dependents. Furthermore, following the death of an employee, any amounts remaining in the deceased employee’s VEBA account may continue to be used to pay these premiums and expenses of the employee’s spouse and dependents. Any amounts not distributed to or for the benefit of the employee, spouse and/or dependents shall be provided as a taxable cash benefit to a named beneficiary. At no time may the VEBA make loans to an employee, his/her spouse, or his/her dependents.
