AGREEMENT

Made as of the 1st day of January 2005, by and between the TOWNSHIP OF HOLLAND, IN THE COUNTY OF HUNTERDON, New Jersey, here-inafter referred to as the "Employer" or “Township”,

-AND-

TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION 773 OF ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, affili-ated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, hereinafter referred to as the "Union".

WHEREAS the Employer and Union have negotiated and reached agreement as to all bargainable issues,

NOW THEREFORE it is agreed between Employer and Union as follows:

ARTICLE I. RECOGNITION

Pursuant to an election held under the auspices of the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission, the Union has been determined to be the exclusive and sole representative for col-lective negotiation for all employees included in the bargaining unit determined by the Public Employment Relations Commission, being all hourly paid employees of the Road Department, including equip-ment operators and truck drivers-equipment operators, exclud-ing all supervisors under the Act, clerical employees, seasonal employees, police, craft employees, confidential employees and managerial employees.
ARTICLE II. DURATION OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall become effective as of January 1,2005, except for the effective dates otherwise herein stated and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2007, the expiration date hereof, subject to the Union's and Employer's right to negotiation over a successor agreement. It is further agreed that on the request of either party hereto, the parties will meet at such time or times after June 1, 2007, as necessary, for the purpose of nego-tiating a successor agreement. The purpose of such early meeting is in order to enable the parties to comply with the provisions of the Public Employment Relations Act.

ARTICLE III. DUES CHECK-OFF

The Employer agrees to deduct monthly union dues, and/or uni-form assessments of the Local Union from the first pay each month from any employee from whom written authorization is received, and to send such dues to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Union on or before the end of the month for which the deduction is made.

A dues check-off authorization is to be voluntary but once given, it may be revoked while an employee is employed by Employer during the term of this Agreement only on fifteen (15) days written notice by the employee to Employer.

The Union agrees to indemnify and save Employer harmless any and all claims, suits or other forms or liability arising out of deductions of money for union dues under this article.
ARTICLE IV. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

All grievances between the parties regarding the interpre-tation, application or violation of policies, agreements, and administrative decisions affecting employees shall be settled in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in this Agree-ment and there shall be no strikes or cessation of work by the employees or lockouts by the Employer during the term of this Agreement.

The parties to this Agreement confirm that an orderly and expeditious resolution of grievances is desirable. Accordingly, grievances shall be resolved under the following three (3) step process:

STEP 1:

The employee initiating the alleged grievance shall present the grievance in writing and on a form provided by the Employer to his immediate supervisor within five (5) days after its occur-rence.

The first level supervisor shall make a written reply to the grievance within five (5) days after its initial presentation.

STEP 2:

If the action in Step 1 above fails to resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the person or persons submitting the grie-vance, he/they shall, within five (5) days of the supervisor's written reply refer it in writing to the Township Committee member in charge of the Road Department.

The Township Committee member in charge of the Road Depart-ment shall make a written reply to the grievance within ten (10) days after the presentation of the grievance to him/her.

STEP 3:

If the action in Step 2 above fails to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the person or persons submitting the grie-vance, he/they shall, within five (5) days of the written reply from the appropriate Township Committee member, make a written referral of the grievance in writing to the Township Committee.
The Township Committee shall make a written reply to the grievance within three (3) weeks from the date of submission.

STEP 4:

This Step 4 shall apply only if the grievance is by or on behalf of an employee included in the bargaining unit who has, by action of Employer, been discharged from the Employer's employment or suspended without pay for a period of over three (3) days, and which involves a complaint about such discharge or suspension. Step 4 shall not apply to any other type of grievance (even if, for example, the grievance involves a lesser suspension). Where Step 4 is applicable the following shall pertain:

If the action in step 3 above fails to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the person or persons submitting the grievance, he/they shall, within five (5) days of the written reply from the Township Committee, invoke arbitration of the grievance by deliver-ing to the N. J. Public Employment Relations Commission a written request that said Commission furnish names of arbitrators to the parties, and after such names are submitted, the grievant and Employer shall select their choice of arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of said Commission.

Thereafter the grievance shall be arbitrated by the selected arbitrator, whose decision, subject only to lawful rights of ap-peal, shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or in any way modify the terms of this Agreement, and shall confine his decision to the interpreta-tion of this Agreement as relevant to the merits of the grievance. He shall confine himself to the precise issue(s) of the grievance and shall have no authority to determine any other issues not presented, except as they may be necessary to a deter-mination of the issue(s) of the grievance which have been submitted to arbitration. The decis-ion of the arbitrator shall be in writ-ing, shall be submitted to the grievant and the Employer, and shall describe the basis for the arbitrator's decision and the evidence relied upon. The fees and expen-ses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the grievant and the Employer.

Failure of the grievant to adhere to the time limits set forth herein, absent good cause shown, shall be deemed a waiver which shall prevent further processing of the grievance.

ARTICLE V. SENIORITY

Seniority is based on length of continuous service the employ-ee has with the Employer. Seniority shall be accumulated during absence due to illness, lay off, or leave of absence as long as such seniority is not terminated in accordance with other provi-sions of this agreement.

In all cases of lay offs, rehiring and awarding job bids, seniority shall govern with due consideration for ability to per-form the particular job. Employees last hired shall be the first laid off, provided those employees remaining are capable of per-forming the available work. When the Employer rehires any employ-ees, employees on lay off shall be rehired in reverse order in which they were laid off after such jobs are posted for bid, pro-vided such employees are capable of performing the available work.

Although the Union recognizes that the employee with the greatest seniority bidding for such job may not be capable of performing such job, the Employer agrees that it will give the employee with the greatest seniority bidding for such job if capa-ble of performing such job, first consideration for same. However, the determination of the qualifications of any job shall rest with the Employer, subject to the grievance procedure in this Agreement.

The Employer shall supply the Union with a seniority list of all employees setting forth the date of hire of such employees. This list shall be maintained by the Employer and brought up to date annually. The Employer shall also supply the Union with a complete list of names, addresses and dates of employment of em-ployees presently laid off, discharged, hired, or rehired.

Seniority shall be broken for any of the following reasons:

1. An employee quits or resigns.

2. An employee is discharged.

3. An employee is laid off for a period of longer than eighteen (18) consecutive months, unless he is off sick due to injury on the job. In such event such lay off shall be for a period of thirty-six (36) months.

A regular employee on lay off has the right to turn down any temporary employment, but must promptly return to and accept a permanent job.

ARTICLE VI. PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES

All new employees shall be considered probationary employees for a period of six (6) months from the beginning of employment, during which time they shall have no seniority and no rights to any fringe benefits or holiday pay, except for hospitalization and medical insurance coverage as provided for under Article XIII. They shall otherwise enjoy and be bound by other provisions of this Agreement. If such employee is retained beyond the six (6) months probationary period from the beginning of employment, he shall immediately thereafter be entitled to the fringe benefits and pay of a regular employee and his seniority shall commence as of the date of his original employment; however, his status as a regular employee shall be subject to confirmation by vote of the Township Committee.

ARTICLE VII. WAGES

A schedule of wage rates effective beginning as of January 1, 2005, for the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007, is attached hereto as Appendix A and made a part hereof. The parties agree that the schedule of wages set forth in Appendix A shall be the schedule which shall remain in force for the period just stated.

ARTICLE VIII. HOURS OF WORK AND DIRECTION OVER WORK

The normal work week for all employees covered by this Agree-ment is forty (40) hours, Monday through Friday.

Time and one-half (1 1/2) will be paid for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in one day or forty (40) hours in any one week. Double time will be paid for all hours worked on Sunday. There will be no pyramiding of overtime payments under this Agree-ment.

No employee shall be justified or warranted without valid reason to refuse to work overtime on any day when required by the Employer, or its representative, to do so. Any employee shall be given a one-half (1/2) hour paid lunch period for every four (4) hours worked after eight (8) hours in any work day.

Any employee unable to work on account of illness or for any other justifiable reason shall notify the Employer not later than 24 hours prior to the beginning of the shift from which he will be absent, unless prevented from doing so by emergency. It is recog-nized that the functions and services performed by employees re-quire the prompt and regular attendance at work of each employee; where circumstances make either punctuality or attendance impos-sible, every effort must be made by the Employee to notify Employer of the deviation from schedule, at the earliest possible moment.

Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, it is recognized that the supervision and control of all operations and the direct-ion of all employees are vested solely in the Employer. It is agreed that there is reserved to the Employer sole jurisdiction over matters of policy, and that Employer retains the right, sub-ject only to the limitations imposed by the language of this Agree-ment and applicable laws and regulations, (a) to direct employees of Employer, including the right to require any employee to perform any duties in the service of Employer and not merely those which he/she customarily has performed, (b) to hire, pro-mote, transfer, assign, and retain employees in positions, to appoint temporary supervisors who may include an employee covered by this Agreement, to suspend, demote, discharge or take other disciplinary action against employees, (c) to relieve employees from duty because of lack of work or other reason, (d) to maintain the efficiency of municipal operations, (e) to determine the methods, means and personnel by which such operations are to be conducted, and (f) to take whatever actions may be necessary to carry out the mission of the Employer in situations of emergency.

ARTICLE IX. HOLIDAYS

It is agreed that the following days shall be observed as holidays with full pay for employees:

New Year's Day Veteran's Day
President's Day Election Day
Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day
Good Friday Day after Thanksgiving
July 4th Day before Christmas
Labor Day Christmas Day

If an employee performs no work on one of the said holidays, said employee shall be paid for that day at his regular hourly rate, excluding overtime or any other premium pay. If an employee works on one of the said holidays he shall be paid for such work at the rate of two and one-half (2 1/2) times the regular wage rate, but shall not receive the above holiday pay for the time for which he is to be paid the 2 1/2 times regular wage rate. In order to receive holiday pay, an employee must work the regularly sched-uled work day preceding said holiday and the regularly scheduled work day following said holiday, unless excused therefrom by his immedi-ate supervisor. Failure to work either the day preceding or the day following a holiday, without being excused by his super-visors, forfeits holiday pay.

ARTICLE X. BEREAVEMENT

An employee shall be given leave of absence with pay, at straight-time rates:

(a) Upon the death of his/her spouse or child, for five (5) consecutive work days, the last of which shall be taken not later than two (2) days after the day of the funeral;

(b) Upon the death of his/her parent, brother, sister, grandparent, father-in-law, or mother-in-law, for three (3) consec-utive work days, the last of which shall be taken not later than the day of the funeral.

ARTICLE XI. VACATIONS

Employees employed with the Township after the first working day in January of any calendar year, but on or before the first working day of July in that year, are entitled, after completing three continuous months of employment, to five days vacation during the calendar year they commence employment. Employees who commence employment after the first working day in July in a calendar year are not entitled to vacation during that calendar year. During each calendar year in which an employee's anniversary date of employment described below occurs, the employee shall be entitled to the number of days of vacation set opposite such anniversary date; provided that the employee has been continuously employed by the Township (except for any leave of absence approved by the Township Committee) during the time period counted, and provided further that this entitlement shall not arise, in the year in which the first anniversary occurs, until the employee has been employed for three continuous months:

Anniversary of Employment Vacation Days During Calendar Year


1st Year 5 days

2nd through 5th years 10 days

6th through 14th years 15 days

15th through 24th years 20 days

25th year and over 21 days

Vacation days may be taken only after prior approval of the Township Public Works Supervisor, or in his absence, by the Township Committee member having responsibility for the Public Works Department.

If, during a calendar year any person terminates employment or his/her employment is terminated, he/she shall have already taken more vacation days for that calendar year than a proportion (round-ed to the nearest full day) of such person's full entitle-ment for the calendar year which corresponds to the proportion of days in the calendar year elapsed prior to termination to the total number of days in the calendar year, there shall be deducted from the terminating employee's final pay check or checks, an amount equiva-lent to the pay the employee would normally receive for a day's work times the number of vacation days already taken for the calen-dar year in excess of the foregoing proportion.

The above vacations shall apply to all employees employed a total of full-time in one or more capacities, but not to part-time or seasonal employees. Employment, as referred to herein, means employment with the Township, and is deemed to commence when an employee first reports for work.

Vacation pay shall be at the employee's straight time hourly rate.


Employees shall select their vacation period in order of their seniority during the approved vacation period posted by the Employ-er. Employees shall be required to take time off for their vaca-tion. In the event extenuating circumstances justify the Township request that an employee return to work during his vaca-tion period, approval must be received from the employee, except in the case of emergency, in which event the employee must return to work. Such employee who so returns to work from his vacation shall be paid his regular hourly rate of pay for such vacation that he so worked. Such employee shall be given another vacation period with pay as the Employer's schedule permits, or the employee may elect to take his vacation pay in lieu of additional days off.

Employees may take vacation in units of at least one week, subject to giving at least 48 hours prior notice of request, and further subject to approval of such request by the Road Superinten-dent. Unused vacation days may not be accumulated from one calen-dar year to another.

If a holiday occurs during an employee's vacation period, such employee shall get an additional day off with pay at a time mutual-ly agreeable between Employer and Employee.

Lay off or absence due to illness not exceeding ninety (90) days shall not limit or abridge the employee's right to full vaca-tion with pay.

The Employer agrees to allow employees to take one week of vacation time during the period of December 1 thru April 1 during the years, 2005-06 and 2006-7, providing the employee requesting such vacation period gives at least seven (7) day’s prior notice to the Public Works Supervisor and that no more than one employee will be off during the same time period.

ARTICLE XII. SAFETY AND WELFARE

Employer, in accordance with its established practice, shall continue to install and furnish safety devices and equipment for the protection of the lives and health of its employees.

Safety devices and equipment required by State, Federal, or local agencies, or by any governmental rule or regulation, shall be furnished to the affected employees by Employer, without cost.

Employees shall be required to utilize all safety apparel and equipment and protective devices in the prescribed manner and shall cooperate to the best of their ability in the prevention of acci-dents.

All safety and health regulations promulgated by Employer shall be observed strictly by the Employees and the regulations and safety codes promulgated by Federal, State and local govern-mental agencies, in the interest of protecting the safety and health of employees, shall be strictly observed by the Employer and by the employees so far as they relate to the operations of the Township.

Employer will furnish, and replace as reasonably required, hard hats, goggles, gloves and foul weather gear. Employer will also furnish two (2) pairs of coveralls per year per employee and one (1) pair of shoes per year per employee, and an additional $150.00 will be allocated to each employee per year for work clothing.

ARTICLE XIII. HEALTH AND WELFARE

The employer agrees to pay the cost of the employee’s single hospitalization and medical insurance coverage. If the employee desires such coverage also for a dependent or dependents, the employee agrees to pay ten percent (10%) of the difference between the cost of single coverage and the cost of the additional dependent coverage, with the Employer paying the balance of such additional cost. This will take effect beginning January 1, 2006 and run through the remainder of the term of this Agreement. Such insurance coverage is currently furnished by Aetna Insurance Co. The above named insurance may be changed to another medical insurance carrier selected by the Township (after consultation with the Union) under a plan providing benefits as substantially equivalent as possible (or better) to those pertain-ing under the current Aetna Insurance Company policies. In any event the employees' hospital and medical insurance will be covered by the Township continuously. Employees shall cooperate in completing such forms and furnishing such information as is requested by the applicable health care insurance provider.

The Employer agrees to offer for pre-scription drug coverage for all of its employees and their eligible dependents, except such cover-age shall not apply to proba-tionary, temporary, part-time or seasonal employees or their dependents. Such coverage shall pro-vide for covered prescription drugs in accordance with Aetna Insur-ance Company, or other applicable prescription drug insurance plan policies. Employees shall cooperate in completing such forms and furnishing such infor-mation as is requested by such prescription insurance provider.

Permanent employees on approved sick and accident leave shall be covered by the hospital and medical program for a period of one year of such leave. However, if any employee is on leave of ab-sence due to an injury received on the job, he shall be covered by said hospitalization and medical program for a period of two (2) years of such leave.

The employees under this contract agree to said Township having health insurance with a $500.00 deductible program. This is being done so that the Township may purchase the health insurance at a cheaper rate. The Township agrees that the deductible for the employee and dependents will remain at $100.00 and that after show-ing that the $100.00 deductible has been met (bills paid) by the employee for himself or dependent, to the employer representative, the employee shall be reimbursed for all subsequent bills until the $500.00 limit is reached, meaning the Township through its savings in premiums will pay additional bills (reimburse the employee) until $500.00 is reached.

If requested by the Employer, an employee shall submit to an annual physical examination to be conducted at the expense of Employer. The examining physician shall be designated by the Employer and the results of said examination shall be made avail-able to the Employer and the employee.
