 <\/p>\n

SEIU 925- Continuum College Initial Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Article \u2013 Civil\/Jury Duty Time Off and Bereavement Time Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Union proposed an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. The Union proposed to increase the number of days granted for bereavement time off from three days to five days.<\/p>\n

Article \u2013 Miscellaneous Leave\/Time Off <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Union proposed an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. The Union proposed to add additional reasons for the ability to use unpaid time off to now include personal well being and absence due to personal emergencies. The Union proposed that leave without pay would be approved or denied by the Employer in writing within 5 – 10 calendar days of the request when practicable and if denied will include the reason for denial.<\/p>\n

Article \u2013 Absence Due to Personal Emergencies\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Union proposed an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925<\/a> contract. The Union proposed to expand this article from family\/child care emergencies to personal emergencies. The Union proposed to add a third definition of a personal emergency that states a miscellaneous emergency is defined as a situation causing an employee\u2019s inability to report for or continue scheduled work due to constraints outside of the employee\u2019s control. This may include but not limited to constraints during travel, personal injuries, the demands of immigration-related processes or the actions of immigration and law enforcement officials. The Union also proposed that employees may use accrued sick time off to prepare for or participate in immigration or citizenship-related proceedings involving themselves or a family member.<\/p>\n

Article \u2013 Federal Family Medical Leave Act and Parental Leave <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Union proposed an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. The Union also incorporated sections from the SEIU 925 <\/a>contract regarding parental leave and use of leave while on PFML and FMLA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UW – Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Article- Hiring, Promotions, and Transfers<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer proposed language that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the UAW RSE<\/a> contract.. The Employer is proposing that employees who promote, transfer, or voluntarily demote into positions covered by this agreement, would serve a four month Trial Service Period. The Employer proposed that all employees would be provided notice when applications are being accepted for a vacant bargaining unit position.<\/p>\n

Article- Inclement Weather and Suspended Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer proposed edits to align with the current UW policy. The Employer proposed language to clarify the different practices for overtime eligible employees and overtime-exempt employees.<\/p>\n

Article- Telework<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer proposed an article that aligns with the current UW and Continuum College policy.<\/p>\n

Article \u2013 Military Duty Leave<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer proposed small housekeeping edits including changing the article title from military leave to military duty leave.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SEIU 925- Continuum College Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Article \u2013 Vacation Time Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the Employer, the Union proposed that requests for five or more consecutive days should be made at least two months in advance. When possible, the supervisor would respond to the request within five business days, and no later than ten business days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tentative Agreements<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Article- Washington Family Medical Leave Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parties agreed to an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. The sentence regarding Employer provided healthcare benefits during a PFML leave was struck.<\/p>\n

Article- Unpaid Holidays for a Reason of Faith or Conscience<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parties agreed to an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. Small housekeeping edits were made adding time off to references to holiday credit.<\/p>\n

Article – Employee Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parties agreed to an article that matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract. New language was added that a reasonable amount of travel time be included in the section regarding use of gender-neutral individual facilities or gender-segregated group facilities.<\/p>\n
