Pharmacy Technicians. Pharmacy Technicians shall be licensed by the California Board of Pharmacy pursuant to current laws and regulations. Employees shall be selected for the position of pharmacy technician on the basis of ability and skill, and where they are relatively equal, seniority shall govern. The Employer believes that the safety of its customers and the public is the fundamental guiding concern behind the establishment of this classification. To this end, the Employer shall provide mandatory training, on Employer time, as required by the regulation, for those individuals who are selected for the classification of pharmacy technician. Because of safety and quality control factors, the pharmacy technicians will be subject to the immediate and personal supervision of a registered pharmacist. Immediate and personal supervision in the case of a pharmacy technician requires that a pharmacist verify and document any function performed by a pharmacy technician in connection with all activities surrounding the dispensing of a prescription. It is understood and agreed that pharmacists, as trained professionals, have the ultimate responsibility for dispensing prescriptions. If any of the above becomes a conflict with the regulations of the California Board of Pharmacy, regulation shall control. The Employer agrees to provide additional training at its own cost in the event new laws or regulations mandate such training.
