ADMINISTRATIVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING <br />BETWEEN THE CITY OF RAMSEY AND AFSCME <br />GRANTING AN EXCEPTION TO THE MAXIMUM HOURS <br />WORKED BY A TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE <br />ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS: TEMPORARY FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE <br />(Maximum hours allowed) <br />2.11 TEMPORARY FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE: Any non -student <br />employee working a regularly scheduled work week of 40 hours per <br />week, up to a maximum of 640 hours in a calendar year. This <br />employee is not eligible for vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay <br />or health and life insurance. Students may work up to 100 days per <br />calendar year and still be considered temporary employees. <br />Due to an unforeseen Family Medical Leave situation in the Building Maintenance Division, the <br />City is in need of alternative staffing options to cover the essential functions of the Building <br />Maintenance Worker position temporarily left vacant. <br />Background <br />The City currently employs one full-time Building Maintenance Worker and one full-time <br />Building Maintenance Supervisor. In June, a part-time Building Maintenance Worker retired, <br />bringing the staffing down from 2 '/2 to just 2 employees in that division. Currently, the fulltime <br />Building Maintenance Worker is out on Family Medical Leave due to a serious injury; leaving <br />just the Building Maintenance Supervisor. <br />Mr, Jeffrey Strelow began a Temporary Seasonal position in the City's Parks Division on April <br />3, 2012. He was then transferred to the Building Maintenance Division with the expectation that <br />his employment would terminate upon exhaustion of the allowable 640 hours as defined above. <br />However, as a means of addressing the current staffing shortage, the City and AFSCME have an <br />interest in entering into an Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.). <br />Proposed Solution <br />Effective upon the exhaustion of Mr. Strelow's allowable 640 hours, as defined in section 2,11, <br />only to be superseded by a replacement M.O.U, authorized by the City Council. The terms of <br />the agreement are as follows: <br />1) Mr. Strelow will remain a Temporary Fulltime Employee as defined in section 2.11, <br />a. He will become a dues paying participant with AFSCME <br />b. He will be paid at step one of the Building Maintenance wage scale; which is <br />$15.99 per hour <br />c. He will not be entitled to vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay or health and life <br />insurance <br />d. He will be required to enroll with the Public Employees Retirement Association <br />(PERA) if/when he becomes PERA eligible, participating per PERA guidelines <br />
