Common use of Default Option Clause in Contracts

Default Option. 24 The Union and the County realize that the existing compensation arrangements are 25 jointly owned as a product of a series of contracts that have been freely entered into. There is also 26 a joint recognition that any process such as the above which is not, and cannot be, precisely 27 specified in advance, must involve a concerted effort of discussion to be successful, and must be 28 disciplined by a default option; therefore: 29 If the County recommendations are rejected by the Union, the County will give the 30 Union thirty (30) days to appeal the study results, based upon a substantive failure to comply with 31 the mutually agreed upon guideline of the Labor Management Class Comp Committee. If the 32 parties are unable to resolve the appeal, provisions of Article 15.VI.B will apply. If the County 33 recommendations are rejected by the Union and there has been no substantive failure to comply 34 with the mutually agreed upon guidelines, the County may implement the study’s results at its own 1 expense. 2 In the event an employee’s rate of pay exceeds the new recommended maximum 3 pay rate as a result of a Classification/Compensation study, he or she will be paid in accordance 4 with Article 15.V.
