Amendment to
CITY OF ELGIN and PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYEE GROUP

Following a series of meetings between the Water Treatment Operators and the
management staff of the Water Department, a mutual understanding has been
reached to condict a trial staffing program based on twelve (12) hour shift
schedule. The trial period is proposed for the period Sunday, October 11,
1980 through Saturday, January 24, 1981. The effectiveness of the schedule
will be monitored during the trial period through periodic meetings between
the operators and staff.
In order to accomodate a trial twelve (12) hour shift schedule certain temporary
modifications must be made to the current employee agreement. Those sections
affected and the nature of the temporary modification are identified below.
These modifications will not affect any member of the Public Services Employee
Group other than individuals occupying the position of Water Treatment Operator.

holiday compensation would be four (4) hours if worked
Or not, unless a full twelve (12) hour shift is worked
on said Eve the compensation would be six (6) hours.
Compensation - The change in work schedule from 80 hours to 84 hours every
fourteen (14) days results in the base rates of the water treatment
operators being increased by four (4) hours of straight time pay bi-
weekly. This changes the salary range as follows:
-
Current - 1255 1315 1367 1425 1485 1549
7.24 7.59 7.89 8.22 8.57 8.94

15804 16572 17232 17952 18708 19524
The Water Treatment Operators would be placed on a salaried compensation schedule
instead of the current hourly schedule for their base work schedule. Thus vaca-
tion or sick leave usage will be compensated on the basis of an 84 hour week rate.
Hours worked over twelve (12) hours in a day or 84 hours bi-weekly will be com-
pensated at one and one-half (PI) times the listed straight time hourly rate of
pay.
A final review and status of the trial period will be determined by January 9,
1981. Continuation of the twelve (12) hour schedule will only occur if agreeable
to the City Manager, department's staff and a majority of the water treatment
operators. If the new shift schedule is permanently adopted it can be continued
from the end of the trial period. This amendment will be rewritten as a permanent
addendum to the employee agreement prior to January 24, 1981'
If, as of January 9, 1981, it is decided not to continue the twelve hour schedule,
water treatment operators will have until January 24, 1081 work out any trade
time obligations. As of 11;59 p.m. January 24, 1981 this amendment becomes null
and void and all water treatment operators will return to an eight (8) hour work
Schedule,
