WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Board has an obligation, pursuant to Chapter 303, Public Laws of 1968, as amended, to negotiate with "Employees" as the representative of the employees hereinafter designated with respect to the terms and conditions of employment; and
WHEREAS, the parties have reached certain understandings which they desire to reduce in writing;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
RECOGNITION
The Board recognizes M.T.H.C. as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the purpose of establishing wages, hours and other conditions of employment for all full-time Head Custodians employed by the Marlboro Township Board of Education.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a full-time employee shall include only those persons who work at least twenty (20) hours per week on a regular basis.
ARTICLE II
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. DEFINITIONS
1. A "grievance" is a complaint by which an employee or employees in the bargaining unit and his or their representative may appeal the interpretation, application or violation of policies, agreements and administrative decisions affecting him or them, except that the term "grievance" shall not apply to:
(a.) Any matter for which a method of review is prescribed by law or which by law is exclusively within the discretion of the Board.
(b.) Any rule or regulation of the State Department of Education or the State Commissioner of Education having the force and effect of law.
(c.) Any matter which according to law is beyond the scope of Board Authority.
B. PRINCIPLES
1. A grievance to be considered under this procedure shall be presented by the grievant not later than ten (10) working days after the occurrence of the grievance, or within ten (10) working days from the date on which the grievant should reasonably have known of its occurrence. The number of days allotted at each step of the grievance procedure is to be considered as a maximum time limit. Every attempt should be made to resolve grievances as quickly as possible.
2. A grievant may present and process his grievance personally or through an appropriate representative. In either event, the grievant shall be personally present at all steps of the grievance procedure. Should a grievant want to process his grievance personally or through an appropriate representative of his own choosing, he may do so; however, the majority unit shall be so notified and shall have the right to have its own representative present.
3. No reprisals shall be taken by the Board or Administration against any participant because he utilizes the grievance procedure.
4. Should a grievance result from action taken by the Board of Education, the Superintendent or the Board Secretary/Business Administrator, a grievant may present his grievance initially at the appropriate corresponding step of the grievance procedure.
C. PROCEDURE:
The employee, with his shop steward, shall take up the grievance or dispute with the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds within ten (10) working days of its occurrence or within ten (10) working days from the date on which the grievant should reasonably have known of its occurrence. The Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds should respond to the grievance within five (5) working days of the grievance hearing.
If the employee is not satisfied with the first step answer, he may, within five (5) working days, present the grievance to the Business Administrator or designee, who shall promptly schedule a second step hearing, and shall render his decision within five (5) working days of the hearing.
If the employee is not satisfied with the second step answer, he may, within five (5) working days, present the grievance to the Superintendent of Schools, who shall schedule a third step hearing within ten (10) working days. At this hearing, in addition to the Union Steward, the grievant may be represented by the Local Union President. The Superintendent shall render his decision within five (5) working days of the grievance hearing.
If the employee is not satisfied with the third step answer, he may, within five (5) working days, present the grievance to the Board of Education or a Committee thereof, which shall schedule a grievance hearing within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of the grievance. At this step, the employee may be represented by Counsel in addition to the shop steward and M.T.H.C. President. The Board of Education shall render its decision within five (5) working days of the date of the grievance hearing.
(a.) In the event the grievant is dissatisfied with the determination of the Board of Education aforesaid, and in the further event that the grievance involves the interpretation or application of this contract, the matter may be submitted to arbitration. A request for arbitration shall be made in writing no later than fifteen (15) working days following the determination of the Board. Failure to request arbitration within said period of time shall constitute an absolute bar to such arbitration unless the Board of Education and the M.T.H.C. shall mutually agree upon a longer time within which to assert such a demand.
(b.) The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to, subtract from, change or modify any of the terms of this agreement.
(c.) Within ten (10) working days after the M.T.H.C. shall have delivered the written request for arbitration, the Board and the M.T.H.C. shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator and shall obtain a commitment from said arbitrator to serve. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator or to obtain such a commitment within the specified time period, a request for a list of arbitrators shall be made to the Public Employment Relations Commission and the parties shall abide by the procedures of the Commission for the selection of an arbitrator.
(d.) The arbitrator so selected shall confer with the representatives of the Board and the M.T.H.C. and shall hold hearings promptly, and he shall issue his decision not later than twenty (20) calendar days from the close of hearings, or if oral hearing has been waived, then from the date that the final statements and proofs are submitted to him. The arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall set forth his findings of fact, reasoning and conclusions on the issue submitted. The decision of the arbitrator shall be submitted to the Board and the
Union and shall be advisory only.
(e.) The costs for the services of the arbitrator including per diem expenses, if any, and the cost of the hearing room, if any, shall be borne equally. Any other expenses incurred shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.
D. MISCELLANEOUS
1. Forms for filing grievances, serving notices, taking appeals, making reports and recommendations and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by the Board and the M.T.H.C. and given appropriate distribution so as to facilitate operation of the grievance procedure.
2. All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall not be conducted in public and shall include only such parties in interest and their designated or selected representative, heretofore referred to in this Article.
3. All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.

(c ) The Board will provide the Association with the names of all eligible Association members.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the mechanics for the deductions of representation fees and the transmission of such fees to the Association will, as nearly as possible, be the same as those used for the deduction and transmission of regular membership dues to the Association.
4. The Association shall indemnify and hold the employer harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability, including liability for reasonable counsel fees and other legal costs and expenses that may arise out of, or by reason of, any action taken or not taken by the employer in conformance with this article.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE
All employees shall be eligible for the following leaves of absence:
A. SICK LEAVE
1. Sick Leave is defined to mean the absence from his or her post of duty, of any such person because of personal disability due to illness or personal injury, or because he or she has been excluded from school by the school district's medical authorities because of a contagious disease in his or her immediate household.
2. All employees employed as of July 1st of that school year are entitled to fourteen (14) sick leave days each school year as of the first official day of said year, whether or not they report for duty on that day. All new employees starting after July 15th of the respective school year shall be entitled to a pro-ratio of the annual fourteen (14) sick days for the first year based on the number of months remaining in that school year. Unused sick leave days shall be accumulated from year to year with no maximum limit.

5. In order to be eligible for sick leave pay, the employee involved shall notify the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds at least two (2) hours prior to the start of his normal tour of duty unless the cause of the absence does not occur until less than two (2) hours. In the latter situation, the employee shall give as much notice as is possible under the circumstances.
6. Whenever any employee is absent from his or her post of duty as a result of a personal injury caused by an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, he or she shall be paid the full salary or wages for the period of such absence for up to one (1) calendar year without having such absence charged to the annual sick leave or the accumulated sick leave. Salary or wage payments shall be made for absence during the waiting period and during the period the employee received or was eligible to receive a temporary disability benefit under Chapter 15 of Title 34 of the Revised Statutes. Any amount of salary or wages paid or payable to the employee pursuant to this section shall be reduced by the amount of any workman's compensation award made for temporary disability. During this period, the employee shall not accrue vacation or sick benefits except for a month during which he worked more than half the work days in that month.
7. Nothing contained herein shall limit, prohibit or otherwise restrain the Board of Education from granting additional sick leave over and above the minimum sick leave defined.
B. MATERNITY LEAVE
1. The Board shall grant leaves of absence for medical reasons associated with pregnancy and birth to pregnant employees on the same terms and conditions governing leaves of absence for other illness or medical disabilities, as set forth in N.J.S.A. 18A:30-1 et seq and the rules, regulations and policy statements and this agreement.
2. It is recognized that an employee's maternity leave application involves both a disability phase and child care phase. The disability phase is that period of time, both pre-natal and post-natal, during which a physician certifies inability to work. The child care phase is that period of time selected by the employee which follows the disability phase during which time the employee voluntarily suspends her career to care for the newborn child.
(a). Disability Phase: Any employee seeking a leave of absence on the basis of medical reasons associated with pregnancy or birth shall apply to the Board of Education. At that time of application, which shall be made upon ninety (90) days' notice to the Board, the employee shall specify in writing the date on which she wishes to commence leave and the date on which she wishes to return to work after the birth. The Board shall require any employee to produce a certificate from a physician in support of the requested leave dates. Where medical opinion is supportive of the leave dates requested, such request shall be granted by the Board. It is understood that the disability period as certified jointly by the employee's and Board's physicians may be treated as compensable sick leave time at the option of the employee.
(b). Child Care Phase: Where the requested leave dates are beyond the period of disability associated with pregnancy and is for child care purposes as defined above, the employee shall be granted, at her discretion, a leave for the balance of the school year in which the birth occurred. Any further extensions of child care leave shall be discretionary with the Board of Education.
The Board need not grant or extend the leave of absence of any employee beyond the end of the contract school year in which the leave is obtained.
3. An employee returning from pregnancy leave of absence shall be entitled to all benefits to which employees returning from other types of sick or disability leave would be entitled.
C. PERSONAL LEAVE
1. The provisions for personal leave at full pay stated below shall be for one (1) year and unused days shall not be accumulative for use in another year, but shall be converted to sick leave as stated in subsection five of this section.

a. For the death of a parent, child, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, spouse, parent of spouse, son-in-law or daughter-in-law a period of five (5) consecutive work days per incident with one of the days being the day of interment or cremation.
b. For aunt, uncle, nephew, niece, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, one (1) day per incident.
An employee claiming the leave shall verify compliance on a form designed by the Superintendent of Schools.
3. An allowance of up to four (4) days leave shall be granted for personal matters other than stated above. Personal days shall be prorated for any employee hired after July 1st. Written requests shall be submitted for approval five (5) work days in advance of date requested through the employee's immediate supervisor to the Superintendent of Schools. The five (5) work day notice requirement shall be waived in emergent matters. This allowance with prior approval may be granted for any of the following reasons:
a. Court Subpoena
b. Marriage of employee or marriage in the immediate family
c. Recognition of a Religious Holiday
d. Personal business which cannot be handled outside of school hours. The application form for leave made pursuant to this subsection shall not require the employee to specify the nature of the personal business, but shall simply require the employee to indicate that the leave is being applied for pursuant to this sub-section.
e. Any other emergency or urgent reason approved by the Superintendent.
4. Personal leave days shall not be granted before or after holiday periods or on the first or last day of school or on a Monday or a Friday except in cases of emergency as approved by the Superintendent of Schools. Personal leave days requested for a Monday or a Friday will be granted only for a court subpoena, marriage, religious holiday or urgent reason approved by the Superintendent of Schools. One of the four (4) personal days shall not be subject to the Monday or Friday restrictions.
5. Unused personal days shall be converted to sick days in the following manner:
PERSONAL
DAYS
USED | SICK DAY
CREDIT |
| 0 or 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 |
6. All benefits to which an employee was entitled at the time he went on a Board approved leave of absence, including unused accumulated sick leave, shall be restored to him upon his return.
D. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
