Common use of Paid Release Time Clause in Contracts

Paid Release Time. The Employer and the Union agree that to the extent possible, all City/Union business, for example, the investigation and processing of complaints, disputes, and grievances, disciplinary hearings and attendance at executive board and general meetings, and meetings with the employer pertaining to employment relations, will be scheduled and conducted at such time as will cause the least interference with the regularly scheduled work hours of the union official responsible for representing the union in those matters. The parties recognize that from time to time, it may be necessary for City/Union business to be carried on during regular working hours, and to that extent the parties agree that the City shall provide to the Executive Board paid release time in the total amount of 800 hours per year. The City may, in its sole discretion, grant paid release time in excess of this amount if it deems it to be in the best interest of the City. Where such activities are necessarily or reasonable to be performed during working hours, they may be done without loss of pay, provided the representative notifies the appropriate Division Chief or designee prior to taking such leave. All such Union leave time will be reported on an appropriate time reporting form provided by management.
