In the event an individual employed as a seasonal/temporary employee is employed one -sixth time of a regular, full time employee (347 hours) in a twelve (12) consecutive month period, the employee shall become eligible to voluntarily join this bargaining unit as a member, and will be entitled to the Seasonal/Temporary rate of pay as outlined in Appendix "A" but will only have those benefits specifically outlined in Section 1.1.2 until reaching twelve hundred (1200) hours of employment. In the event an individual employed as a seasonal/temporary employee is employed for more than twelve hundred (1200) hours in a twelve (12) consecutive month period, the employee shall be covered by this collective bargaining agreement as if he/she were a regular employee. 1.1.2 Bargaining unit seasonal/temporary employees who have worked more than one -sixth time of a regular, full time employee (347 hours), but fewer than twelve hundred (1200) hours in a twelve (12) consecutive month period, will be covered by the following ARTICLES, Sections and APPENDIXES: ARTICLE 1 All Sections ARTICLE 10 Sections 10.1 and 10.4 ARTICLE 2 Sections 2.2 and 2.5 ARTICLE 12 All Sections* ARTICLE 16 APPENDIX "A" All Sections Section A.4 ARTICLE 3 Sections 3.4 and 3.5 ARTICLE 13 All Sections ARTICLE 4 Section 4.1 ARTICLE 14 All Sections ARTICLE 5 All Sections ARTICLE 15 All Sections *The scope of grievances filed by seasonal/temporary employees are limited to Section 10.1 and the hourly rates of pay for Seasonal/Temps as outlined in Section A.4 of Appendix A. 2023-2024 City of Federal Way Public Works and Parks Maintenance Employees 1.2 Payroll Deduction — The Employer shall make deductions for Union dues, initiation fees, and/or agency fees from the wages of all employees covered by this Agreement who execute a properly written authorization to the Employer demonstrating the employee has affirmatively consented to the deduction of such dues/fees. The Union shall provide the Employer the signed authorization prior to the commencement of the deductions. Such deductions shall be remitted to the Union on a monthly basis. The Employer will stop or revise deducting such dues/fees from employees who revoke or revise consent or other written direction regarding payroll deductions, to the Employer; the Employer will promptly provide the Union a copy of the written revocation or change in deductions relating to union dues or fees. The Union shall defend, indemnify and hold the Employer harmless against any and all liability resulting from the dues and/or fee deduction system New -Hire Orientation — Within seven (7) days from the date of hire (or the next pay period after a seasonal crosses the 347-hour threshold) the Employer shall notify the Union of all new full-time and part-time employees hired into the bargaining unit. The Union and shop steward will then be provided 30 minutes during employees' regular working hours for purposes of presenting information about the bargaining unit and Union membership. This shall generally occur within the first two (2) weeks following notification of an employee's date of hire (or, for seasonal/temporary employees, from the date of eligibility into the bargaining unit), but in no instance later than 90 calendar days. Employees have the option to attend or not attend the orientation. 1.3 Union Notification - The City shall promptly notify the Union of all employees leaving its employment. 1.4 Bulletin Boards - The City shall provide suitable space for a bulletin board at the maintenance facility. Postings by the Union on the bulletin board shall be confined to official business of the Union; provided such notices shall not be derogatory of the Employer, its elected officials or other personnel. 1.5 Shop Steward — The Union may appoint an accredited shop steward for the bargaining unit. The shop steward shall be a regular employee. The function of the shop steward shall be to meet with the Employer concerning matters vital to the employees in the bargaining unit; provided, however, the shop steward's role shall not interfere with the normal functioning of the Employer. Prior permission from the employee's supervisor shall be obtained whenever a shop steward's activities during regular work hours are involved. The accredited shop steward shall be the only one to take up with the Employer any alleged violation of this Agreement that reaches Step 2 of the grievance procedure. The Union shall be the only party with the authority to appeal any grievance to Step 3 of the grievance procedure. 1.6 Union Officer Leave — An employee elected or appointed to a Union office may, upon timely application and approval thereof by the City, be given leave of absence up to sixty-four (64) hours per year to attend Union conferences or Union workshops.

The City reserves the right to deny the request depending upon the season, staffing levels, and/or the adverse impact on the operations. 2023-2024 City of Federal Way Public Works and Parks Maintenance Employees ARTICLE II PROBATION PERIOD, LAYOFF, RECALL AND JOB VACANCIES 2.1 Probation Period - A new employee shall be subject to a twelve (12) month probation period commencing with his most recent first date of hire in a bargaining unit position. During this period, such employee shall be considered as being employed on a trial basis, subject to immediate dismissal at any time at the sole discretion of the City. Discharge of an employee during his probation period shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. 2.2 Sen� iority - An employee's seniority shall be defined as that period of compensated work for the City from the employee's most recent first day of compensated work within a position now covered by the bargaining unit. Any time of uncompensated leave in excess of thirty- one (31) calendar days shall be deducted from the employee's seniority. 2.2.1 An employee's seniority shall be broken so that no prior period of employment shall be counted and his/her seniority shall cease upon: Discharge for cause as defined in Article XI; Voluntary quit; Leaving the bargaining unit to accept a position with the City outside of the bargaining unit; Failure of the employee to notify the City of his/her willingness to return to work upon recall from an indefinite layoff within ten (10) calendar days after mailing of written notice from the City to his/her last known address appearing on the City's records; Layoff exceeding twenty-four (24) months; and/or A Leave of absence exceeding six (6) months. 2.2.2 Each calendar year, upon the request of the Union, the City shall provide the Union with a seniority list showing the name of each employee within the bargaining unit, his/her present classification and his/her first date of compensated work within the bargaining unit. 2.3 Layoff - In case of a layoff, employees shall be retained on the basis of job performance and length of continuous service. When job performance is relatively equal, the employee with the shortest length of continuous service shall be laid off first. Relative job performance shall be determined on the basis of qualifications, recent job performance evaluations and current job evaluations. Qualifications shall be determined by the knowledge, abilities and skills required for the affected position, as stated in the classification descriptions, and the employee's ability to perform the remaining work without further training. 2.4 Recall - In the case of recall, those employees laid off last shall be recalled first. An employee on layoff shall keep both the City and the Union informed of the address and telephone number where he can be contacted. When the City is unable to contact an employee who is on layoff for recall, the Union shall be so notified. If neither the Union nor the City are able to contact the employee within seven (7) calendar days from the time the Union is notified, the City's obligation to recall the employee shall cease. 2.4.1 The City shall have no obligation to recall an employee after he/she has been on continuous layoff for a period of twenty-four (24) months. Should an employee not return to work when recalled, the City shall have no further obligation to recall him/her. 4 2023-2024 City of Federal Way Public Works and Parks Maintenance Employees 2.5 Job Vacancies - Opportunities for promotion shall be posted on the work site bulletin board for not less than seven (7) calendar days, during which time employees who have completed their probation period may apply. Posted job opportunities shall contain an adequate description of the job duties and the rate of pay. It is the intent of the parties to provide qualified employees with opportunities for promotion; provided however, the City shall determine who the best qualified person is for the job. ARTICLE III HOURS OF WORK 3.1 Hours of Work - The City acknowledges the Union's desire to minimize weekend work for long-term employees, and therefore will implement the following work schedule as a pilot program. Both parties reserve the right to reopen this section during the term of this agreement. The normal workweek for Public Works and Parks Department employees shall consist of five (5) consecutive days of either (8) consecutive hours excluding meal periods, 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. or four (4) consecutive days of ten (10) consecutive hours; provided, however, from March 1 through October 31, workweeks may include Saturday and/or Sunday. Saturday and Sunday work will be assigned by shift -bidding by department seniority. Before shift -bidding is used to determine weekend shift assignments, the City will make a reasonable effort to use seasonal employees to cover weekend shifts if qualified and capable seasonal employees are available. In order to incentivize seasonal coverage of weekends, seasonal employees working weekend shifts will be compensated with an additional one dollar ($1.00) per hour over their normal hourly rate for hours worked on Saturday or Sunday. The City retains discretion to exclude specific positions from bidding on weekend shift work or to create positions that are permanently scheduled for weekend work. Examples of positions that are likely to be excluded from bidding on weekend work or may have permanent weekend schedules include facilities, Town Square park, Community Center and PAEC. The parties agree to meet to discuss other shift options should either party wish to propose a change to be adopted by mutual agreement. 3.1.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes in starting times and/or days of the week for each employee may be made by the City based upon seasonal demands for service, reasonable operating needs of the City and natural consequences, including without limitation fires, earthquakes, storms and floods. 3.2 Flex Time - By mutual agreement between the employee and the City, an employee may be assigned a schedule other than as set forth within Section 3.1. 3.3 Shift Change - Each employee shall be assigned to a regular shift starting time which shall not normally be changed without at least forty-eight (48) hours notice. In the event an employee's regular shift starting time is changed with less than forty-eight (48) hours notice, he/she shall be paid an additional one dollar and seventy-five cents ($1.75) per hour for all hours worked outside of his/her previous work schedule, exclusive of overtime and only during the remainder of the employee's scheduled work week. 3.4 Rest Periods - Employees shall receive a rest period of fifteen (15) minutes on the City's time for each four (4) hours of working time. Rest periods shall be scheduled as near as possible to the midpoint of each four (4) hour work period. No employee shall be required to work more than three (3) hours without a rest period. By mutual agreement between the employee and the City, the rest periods may be taken at a time other than stated above. 3.5 Meal Periods - Employees shall receive a meal period of thirty (30) minutes which shall be on the employee's own time and which shall commence no less than three (3) nor more than five (5) hours from the beginning of the shift. By mutual agreement between the employee and the City, the meal period may be taken at a time other than stated above. Employees who work more than three (3) hours longer than their normal workday may, at the option of the employee, receive an additional unpaid meal period before or during their overtime. 5 2023-2024 City of Federal Way Public Works and Parks Maintenance Employees ARTICLE IV OVERTIME AND SPECIAL PAY 4.1 Overtime - "Overtime" is defined as authorized hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in an employee's seven-day work week or eight (8) hours per day, unless an alternate work schedule has been established by the City for a particular work unit or individual. "Hours worked" for purposes of determining overtime pay shall include holidays, vacation and sick leave used for scheduled doctor and/or dental appointments, but shall not include any other time compensated but not worked. The standard "work week" consists of the period from midnight Saturday to 11:59 P.M. the following Saturday. 4.1.1 Overtime Rotation — A list of regular employees will be maintained for the Parks crew and a separate list will be maintained for the Public Works crews. When overtime is available, employees will be contacted and offered overtime in order beginning with the next employee on the applicable list following the employee who worked the last overtime opportunity until an employee is available to work the overtime. This rotation will continue for all overtime not related to shift completion or assigned special projects. 4.1.2 Mandatory Overtime - Should no employee accept overtime when it is offered pursuant to Section 4.1.1, then the employer will assign the overtime from the least senior to most senior employee. Seniority shall be determined based on length of time with the City. In no event shall an employee with less than six (6) months experience be assigned to mandatory overtime. Mandatory overtime shall not affect the overtime rotation in Section 4.1.1. 4.1.3 Maximum Consecutive Hours — Generally, the City will work to ensure that employees do not work more than 16 hours in a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours. In rare cases (during an emergency or other necessity), the City may waive this rule if, in the judgment of management, the 16-hour cap on consecutive hours worked can be exceeded safely. In cases where unscheduled or emergency work prevents a reasonable rest period before the employee's regularly scheduled shift begins, the employee will be directed to either begin his or her shift 4 hours late or skip the next work shift entirely, at the discretion of the supervisor. The employee will be compensated for the full eight (8) hour shift as if it had been worked normally. Management shall document in writing, with a copy to the affected employee, when this occurs including a statement that the employee will be compensated for time missed due to insufficient rest. 4.1.3.1 During an emergency event, should the City determine there is a safety issue they shall send employees home and shall pay them at the applicable rate of pay for the full shift. 4.2 Compensatory Time - An employee may request compensatory time off in lieu of overtime payment, subject to approval and scheduling by the City.

Employees shall be encouraged to use compensatory time accrued within ninety (90) days of earning it, whenever possible. In no event may compensatory time be accrued in excess of eighty (80) hours (i.e. 53.33 hours x 1.5 = 80 hours). 4.3 Callout - An employee who has left work and is called out to work after completion of his/her regular shift shall be paid a minimum of three (3) hours at one and one-half (1-1/2) times his/her regular straight -time hourly rate of pay. However, if the employee is called out less than two (2) hours from the time he/she is scheduled to start his/her regular shift, he/she shall receive one and one-half (1-1/2) times his/her regular straight -time hourly rate of pay only for such time as occurs before his/her regular starting time. All call -out time worked outside of the employee's regular work hours shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half 6 2023-2024 City of Federal Way Public Works and Parks Maintenance Employees (1-1/2) times the employee's regular straight time rate of pay. In the event the City grants a minimum callout greater than three (3) hours to another bargaining unit of City employees or the majority of other City employees, the Union shall have the right to reopen negotiations on the issue of minimum callout. 4.4 Standby - Except as otherwise provided herein, the current City policy regarding Standby Duty shall remain in effect. Standby duty may include week nights and weekends or other non -regular work hours. Standby hours will begin when an employee leaves work and end when the employee returns to work — except standby pay will not be paid Monday through Friday during the employee's normal work hours, including flex days or scheduled overtime work. Employees who are assigned Standby Duty shall receive three dollars and 50/100 ($3.50) per hour for each hour of Standby Duty. Employees on Standby Duty shall not consume alcohol or controlled substances. Whether or not Standby Duty is eliminated, modified or expanded shall remain at the sole discretion of the City. During emergency events, standby pay shall not be paid between shifts. An employee on Standby Duty who is called out shall receive the applicable Callout rate in addition to Standby Duty pay. 4.4.1 The City will provide an initial list of employees and the list of weeks they are assigned throughout the year. After the weeks have been assigned, employees (with more than 1 year experience) within their departments may give away their standby assignment. When an employee designates their preference to give their standby assignment away, it shall first go to the wheel and will rotate in accordance. If no one voluntarily takes the standby week the person originally assigned will have to fulfill their assignment This shall be a pilot program and will be assessed after the expiration of this agreement. 4.5 Temporary Assignment Pay - When an employee is temporarily assigned to assume substantial responsibilities as a substitute for an absent bargaining unit employee in a higher classification, the employee shall receive five percent (5%) above his regular rate of pay or Step A of the higher class (whichever is greater) for hours worked in such temporary assignment. No temporary assignment pay shall be paid for a period of time less than five (5) working days. The added compensation shall cease when the assignment ends. 4.5.1 Temporary assignment pay for assignments in which a bargaining unit employee works as a substitute in the absence of an employee working in a non -bargaining unit position shall be administered and compensated pursuant to applicable City policy. Any such assignment in excess of ten (10) consecutive working days shall be by mutual agreement between the employee and the City. 4.5.2 Unless otherwise provided herein, assignment of employees to temporary assignments in or out of the bargaining unit and the duration of such assignments shall remain at the sole discretion of the City. 4.6 Emergency Meal Reimbursement - Emergency crews, with authorization of the City, may eat off the clock at area establishments specified by the Purchasing Manager.

In no case will more than a combined total of seven hundred sixty (760) hours be carried forward. Verification of Absences Exceeding Three Days — If an employee is seeking to use or has used Washington Paid Sick Leave for authorized purposes for more than three (3) consecutive days during which the employee is/was required to work, the employee may be required to provide documentation that establishes or confirms that the use of paid sick leave is for an authorized purpose.
