30.6 Total Compensation Survey <br />Total compensation includes salary, and a variety of other benefits. Among such benefits, but not <br />exclusively, are contributions or payments made by the Employer toward retirement (Ca1PERS), medical <br />insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, vision insurance, disability insurance, uniform allowance, and <br />holiday pay. In addition, there can also be add-on costs for different tasks or services performed (e.g. <br />paramedics, hazardous materials). <br />Total compensation information will be gathered from similar agencies to determine how the Employer's <br />benchmark classifications compare with comparable positions in other agencies. The agencies used for <br />comparison are listed below. <br />Berkeley <br />Fairfield <br />Fremont <br />Hayward <br />Palo Alto <br />Richmond <br />San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District <br />Santa Clara (City) <br />Santa Rosa <br />Vallejo <br />The specific classifications selected as the benchmark classes (classifications used for total compensation <br />comparisons) will be determined through classification analyses based on the duties, responsibilities and <br />minimum requirements for the benchmark classes and not merely classification titles. <br />Total compensation arrays will be provided to the Union three (3) months prior to the expiration of the <br />MOU. <br />30.7 Continuity of Operations <br />The Union, its members and representatives, agree that they will not engage in, authorize, sanction, or <br />support any strike, slowdown, stoppage of work, curtailment of production, concerted refusal to work <br />overtime, refusal to operate designated equipment (provided such equipment is safe and sound), or <br />concerted refusal to perform customary duties during the term of this MOU. Further, neither the Union <br />nor any representative thereof shall engage in any job action for the purpose of effecting changes in the <br />directives, decisions, personnel or operations of the Department or Employer, nor in sympathy or support <br />of employees not covered by this MOU. <br />Section 31.
