ARTICLE XIV - Work Areas

For RC-14 employees, overtime shall be distributed as equally as possible among the employees who normally perform the work in the position classification in which the overtime is needed and within a work unit as mutually agreed to between the parties. An example of work unit is the business office or record office. Before mandatory overtime is required, volunteers from other work units shall be utilized.

The work areas at Pontiac Correctional Center for correctional officers and sergeants covered by the RC-6, for the purpose of overtime shall be as follows:

    1.  Maximum Security Unit
    2.  Medium Security Unit
    3.  Writ Team

The work area at Pontiac Correctional Center for correctional officers and sergeants by the RC-6 contract, for the purpose ofshift and days off shall be as follows:

    1.  Maximum Security Unit
    2.  Medium Security Unit

For purposes of mandatory overtime, after working normal workday hours, a writ team officer shall be considered for mandated overtime as needed. Whenever volunteer overtime is available, and volunteers consist of both Max and Writ officers, overtime shall be given to the volunteer with the least amount of overtime hours.




ARTICLE XV - Seniority List Drawings

Under no circumstances will there be redrawings for seniority lists. Individuals added to a seniority list after the original drawing will be placed on the bottom of the list for that day. This will include transfers, returnees from leaves of absence, and others omitted for any other reason.

The following shall apply in such cases where a transfer comes in to the facility:

EXAMPLE

If a transferred employee has the same seniority date as other employees at the receiving facility and a lottery was held to determine seniority, the newly transferred employee will draw to determine where he/she is slotted. Fifteen COT's were hired at a ficility on July 1, 1985 and drew in a lottery to determine their seniority among those fifteen. An employee transfers in to that facility January 1, 1990 whose date of hire was July 1, 1985. The transferred employee would draw a number (the numbers in the hat would be 1 through 16), and be slotted in accordance to the number drawn. If the employee draws 9, he/she would be 9 and the old 9 would be 10, the old 10 becomes 11, and so on. There would then be 16 COT's with seniority drawn by lottery for the July 1, 1985 date without everyone drawing again.




ARTICLE XVI - Distribution of Supplemental Agreement

This supplement will be reproduced by Management and made available to all employees through the personnel Office.




ARTICLE XVII - Overtime

It is agreed to between Management and AFSCME Local 494 to solicit employees for voluntary overtime prior to the beginning of their shifts. A volunteer log book will be readily available for RC-6 employees to sign indicating their desire to work available overtime. Employees who do not place their name on the overtime volunteer list will be recorded as refusing to work the overtime.

Volunteer Overtime - Security staff are to be given the opportunity to sign up for possible overtime at Roll Call. Staff can add their names to the volunteer log up to two (2) hours before the end of their shift. They can remove their names from the volunteer overtime list no later than two (2) hours prior to the end of the shift, unless an emergency exists.

Volunteer Overtime on Days Off - A volunteer overtime log is kept in the Shift Commanders office. An employee who desires to work overtime on his/her days off or adjacent to their shift must sign their name in the logbook identifying the days and shift. The employee will be contacted to work prior to mandatory overtime being worked or as soon as reasonably possible.

Mandatory Overtime - An employee who is mandatoried to work overtime will be notified one (1) hour prior to the end of their shift or as soon thereafter as possible. When an employee is required to report to the oncoming Shift Commander, the employee has been mandatoried to work overtime and will receive 1/4 hour, or more if appropriate, of overtime pay and be credited for working mandatory overtime. Employees who are mandatoried to work overtime are to be replaced when another employee volunteers to work.




ARTICLE XVIII - Overtime Equalization for RC-62 and RC-63

Overtime shall be distributed as equally as possible among the employees who normally perform the work in the position classification in which the overtime is needed and within the work unit of the Pontiac Correctional Center. It shall be distributed on a rotating basis among such employees in accordance with seniority, the most senior employee having the least number of overtime hours being given the first opportunity. If all employees available to work the overtime hours decline the opportunity, the Employer shall assign the overtime in reverse seniority order; the least senior employee sho has not been previously directed by the Employer to work overtime shall be directed to work the hours until all employees have been required to work at which time the process shall repeat itself.

For the purpose of equalizing the distribution of overtime, an employee who is offered but declines an overtime assignment shall be deemed to have worked the hours assigned.

New and temporarily assigned employees shall be credited with the average overtime hours worked by all employees in the unit as of the date of hire or temporary assignment.




ARTICLE XIX - Shift Preference Rights / RC-14, RC-28, RC-62 & RC-63

During the month of November of each year, RC-14, 28, 62 and 63 employees shall have an opportunity to exercise seniority for shift assignments.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT


In order to establish procedures for the use of benefit and dock time for employees of the Illinois Department of Corrections, represented by AFSCME, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Unauthorized absences shall be those absences for which time is not approved.

2.  Employees are expected to report for work on time each day as scheduled. Tardiness shall
be addressed by counseling and progressive discipline. Absences shall
be approved in accordance with the master agreement. 3. The establishment or change in tardiness policies shall be negotiated with the Union.
During such negotiations, current tardiness practices and policies shall
remain in effect. 4. Vacation, holiday, compensatory, and personal business time must be requested
in advance. In emergencies, if no personal business time is available, vacation,
holiday, or compensatory time may be approved subject to
verification of an emergency situation. In the absence of an emergency, only the Chief Administrator or his or her designee
may approve the use of such time on a call-in basis. 5. Authorization to use other benefit time or, if none is available, authorized
docks shall be granted under the following criteria when sick time has been exhausted. A. The employee has not been on proof status within the previous three (3) months
unless the Chief Administrative Officer approves use of such time. B. Proper medical certification is provided. C. Use of authorized dock time under these circumstances is limited to five (5)
days within a twelve (12) month period unless approval for more time is
granted by the Chief Administrative Officer. 6. All employees requests for sick time usage must be supported by a Notification
of Absence and Call-in Report (DC 314-F) signed by the employee. The DC 314-F form shall be provided to the supervisor no later than forty-eight (48)
hours after the employee's return from the absenc(s) unless extenuating
circumstances exist which are approved by the supervisor. Supervisors shall ensure that the DC 3114-F form is readily available to the employee. Failure of the employee to provide such form will result in the absence being considered
unauthorized. The employee will be docked, and a disciplinary referral will be iniated. The supervisor must process all signed DC 314-F forms generated from call-ins within
three (3)calendar days of receipt either approving or disapproving the request. 7. During the attendance review prescribed in Administrative Directive 03.01.301,
Section F6 (a) and (b), counseling is the first step in working with employees
who may have an attendance problem. 8. Prior to placing an employee on proof status, the supervisor shall meet with the employee
to discuss the attendance records. The maximum period that may be considered
in placing an employee on proof status initially shall be the 90-day period
immediately preceding placement of the employee on proof status. An employee whose attendance record creates reason to suspect abuse of sick time shall
immediately be given written notice of his or her placement on proof status
for a 90-day period. Proof may be required for a single absence only if reasonable grounds exist to suspect
abuse for the day in question. The mere usage of sick leave supported by appropriate medical documentation will not
support a continuation of proof status unless additional fact(s) support suspected
abuse. However, if an employee provides appropriate medical documentation
of sick leave and the Employer seeks to extend proof status based upon additional
facts, said proof status will not take effect until either: (a) ten (10) days after
the employee receives written notice of the proof status, and no grievance is filed;
or (b) the employee's proof status grievance is heard at the third level, and the
grievance is either withdrawn or denied. Use of sick leave shall be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. Continued proof status shall be reviewed with the employee after each 60-day period.
Employees shall be given either: A. Written notice of their continuation on proof status for an additional 60-day period
if their use of sick time continues to reflect reason to suspect abuse; or B. Written notice that proof status is terminated. An employee on proof status who fails to provide proper medical certification
of the use of earned sick time shall be given an unauthorized absence and be
docked for the day(s) in question. Employees on proof status who are out of earned sick time and who continue to
claim illness shall be advised in writing of the need to apply for a leave of absence
or face discipline. Proper medical certification for proof status shall contain the following
minimum elements: 1. Signature, address and telephone number of the medical practitioner. 2. The pertinent date(s) in question. 3. An indication that the employee was unable to work on the date(s) in question
for reasons of personal or family illness. Employees on prooof status who utilize sick time for bereavement shall provide
appropriate documentation. It is the employee's responsibility to provide proper certification. Documents that
do not contain the necessary elements shall not be accepted, and the employee
