These include sworn staff, non- sworn staff, cooperative policing agreements, private unarmed security, volunteers, police reserves, seasonal officers, and fee-for-service contracts with city and county agencies. Implicit in the term is that sole reliance upon permanent staffing is neither fiscally sound nor operationally effective.

WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITY. 8. Retirement Contributions for Employees Hired after 1/1/2007
WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITY a) Insert a clause that the Department will establish a dedicated casual pool of staff when backfill is required to fill unanticipated roster gaps, rather than utilising overtime.
WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITY. The parties recognize that employment security and productivity improvement is inseparably linked to attaining sustained profitability. These issues must be addressed on balance and in relationship to each other. Accordingly, the parties agree to jointly maximize the effective utilization of the workforce and equipment and achieve continuous improvement by implementing new and innovative approaches to the way work is performed. The parties further recognize that one of the major barriers to productivity is the continued application of restrictive and unnecessary past practices, local agreements, and local working conditions ("practices").

Those employees unable to achieve full Multicraft status will still be expected to perform in a more flexible, expanded role consistent with safety and their qualifications and abilities. Non-craft employees may, consistent with standardized safety practices and the employee's qualifications and abilities, assist Trade and Craft employees in maintenance duties. It is the agreed-upon goal of the parties to achieve a rapid conversion to Maintenance Technician Mechanical ("MTM") and Maintenance Technician Electrician ("MTE") positions during the term of this agreement. In addition, production employees must broaden their skills, become more flexible, and work as assigned to achieve world class competitive status. Training programs will be developed for each identified need. The parties agree to reduce the number of job classifications by the process of elimination and/or combination. The consolidation of job classifications shall take place in the most expeditious manner possible and without putting an undue work bur...
