-7 - <br /> <br />In cases of emergency when the City Council determines it must act immediately without <br />such notice or meeting, it shall give notice and opportunity to meet as soon as practical <br />after its action. <br /> <br />2.8 New Employee Orientation <br /> <br />Each newly-hired employee will be permitted to attend, without loss in compensation, a <br />thirty (30) minute new employee orientation, conducted by the Union. The Union <br />representative shall also be permitted to conduct the thirty (30) minute session without <br />loss in compensation. <br /> <br />In the event that the City provides less than ten (10) calendar days' notice or no notice, <br />and the Union is unable to attend the orientation because of the short notice or no notice, <br />the Union may request to meet with new employees entering the PCEA/AFSCME <br />LOCAL 955 bargaining unit. <br /> <br />The City will work to arrange a meeting within seven (7) working days of the Union's <br />request for up to thirty (30) minutes (the city has the discretion to allow additional time if <br />available), during regular working hours without loss in compensation. The make-up <br />session is mandatory for the employee and shall be arranged in coordination with the City <br />and conducted by the Union. <br /> <br />The new employee orientation notice provided to the Union will include the date, time, <br />and location of the orientation. Also, the full name, classification, and department of all <br />new employees shall be provided. <br /> <br />Representatives of the Union shall be permitted to make a presentation of up to thirty <br />(30) minutes (the City has the discretion to allow additional time if available), and <br />present written materials, during a portion of the orientation for which attendance is <br />mandatory. No representative of management shall be present during the Union's <br />presentation. <br /> <br />The Union may use the City's facilities to conduct the new employee orientation sessions <br />and make-up orientation meetings with newly hired employees in the bargaining unit. <br /> <br />A bargaining unit member attending orientation as a Union representative shall be given <br />paid release time sufficient to cover the Union's presentation and travel time. The Union <br />will provide the names of any employees who they wish to be released at least 48 hours <br />in advance to the Human Resources Manager. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 174 of 373
