Collective Bargaining Provisions Sample Clauses

Collective Bargaining Provisions. This letter in no way alters, amends or nullifies any provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement existing between the UTEA and the State of Michigan. During negotiations in 2001 the parties reviewed changes in terminology that resulted from the implementation of the new payroll-personnel system HRMN. The parties have elected to continue to use terminology that existed prior to the implementation of HRMN even though that same terminology is not utilized in HRMN. The parties agree that the HRMN terminology does not alter the meaning of the contract language unless specifically agreed otherwise. An example of this are the terms “transfer, reassignment, and demotion” which are called “job change” in HRMN. The HRMN history record will show each of these transactions as a job change, however they will continue to have the same contractual meaning they had prior to the implementation of HRMN. FOR THE UNION FOR THE EMPLOYER The parties have discussed the parking/transportation benefit authorized by the internal revenue code, which allows employees to pay parking or transportation expenses out of pre-tax income under certain circumstances. Among the factors discussed was that taking advantage of the parking/transportation benefit reduces an employee’s taxable income, and therefore could slightly reduce the amount of the employee’s social security benefit. The parties agree as follows: 1. For bargaining unit employees who pay for parking through payroll deduction, the employer will implement the pre-tax payroll deduction benefit effective with the August 16, 2001 pay date. Prior to implementation, employees will be offered the opportunity to opt out of the benefit (i.e., to continue payroll deduction from after-tax income). 2. As soon as administratively feasible, bargaining unit employees who do not have payroll deduction for parking will be offered the opportunity to establish an account for the purpose of reimbursing out-of-pocket parking expenses. The employee determines the amount of pre-tax income to set aside, and then submits parking receipts for reimbursement from this account. 3. If permitted under the IRS code, the employer will offer the opportunity to establish pre-tax reimbursement accounts to bargaining unit employees who use van pools, buses, or other forms of mass transportation to commute to and from work. Additional research is required to determine whether this benefit can be offered. FOR THE UNION FOR THE EMPLOYER
