Common use of Supplemental Employees Clause in Contracts

Supplemental Employees. A supplemental employee is any employee who works only when called. Supplemental employees will receive time and one-half (1 ½) for working holidays, and shift differential when applicable. Such employee will receive tenure increases when hours accrued are equal to a full-time employee [Note: starting with ratification of the 2017-2020 collective bargaining agreement, supplemental employees will begin receiving tenure increases annually on the same date as other employees, regardless of number of hours worked, provided however that the first annual increase will be a minimum of one year from the employee’s most recent tenure increase]. Supplemental employees shall continue to maintain pension benefits if vested and shall receive payment for accrued vacation benefits if changed from regular status as full-time or part-time to supplemental. Supplemental employees consistently working twenty four (24) or more hours per week over a three (3) month period may request an evaluation of eligibility for benefits. If the employee qualifies under the above conditions, and it is determined that an additional part-time or full- time position is necessary for staffing, the position will be posted for bid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. If the supplemental employee formerly working that position is the successful bidder, the employee shall be eligible for benefits effective the first of the month following the date the regular position was awarded. Supplemental employees may decline offered shifts but any supplemental employee who has not worked during any consecutive sixty (60) day period, may be removed from the payroll. An employee may request an individual review of the circumstances that would necessitate a period longer than 60 days to retain supplemental status.
