(c) Exception to Standard Furlough Days for Some Employees. Bargaining unit employees shall adhere to the standard work furlough days shown in the citywide Furlough Calendar Article 12.8(c) herein above; except where it is impracticable for certain City departments or operations (such as Police Telecommunicators, Fire Telecommunicators, and other public safety and essential services functions), those employees must schedule eighty (80) furlough hours with his/her manager or supervisor accordance with Article 11.1, paragraph (b), of this Memorandum, and use eighty (80) furlough hours no later than June 30,of each corresponding year 2009. In the event the vacation scheduling of eighty (80) furlough hours causes any SCEA represented member to exceed the maximum vacation carryover provisions pursuant to Article 11.1, paragraph (a)(6), of this Memorandum, such bargaining unit employee shall be allowed to carryover into the 2009 calendar year the equivalent number of vacation hours not used as a result of the furlough occurrence to ensure that the bargaining unit employee is not adversely affected. To the extent any bargaining unit employee exceeds the maximum carryover provisions of Article 11.1, paragraph (a)(6), of this Memorandum for the 2010 calendar year, such hours shall be automatically cashed out on an hour-for-hour basis at the end of the 2010 calendar year. (d) If a furlough (leave from work without pay) is scheduled before or after a City holiday, the employee will nevertheless be eligible for holiday pay. (e) No Adverse Affect on CalPERS. The City represents and warrants based on information provided by the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) that the furlough deductions described in this Article 12.8 shall not reduce or otherwise adversely affect the employee’s Final Compensation for retirement purposes under the CalPERS. The City shall continue to report the employee’s full-time pay rate as noted in the agreed upon salary schedule(s). SCEA has relied on the accuracy of this representation by the City with the City’s knowledge and consent. As an express condition of this Section, should any SCEA represented employee suffer a reduction or adverse affect in his or her Final Compensation for retirement purposes through CalPERS solely as a result of the furlough deductions, the City, upon notification, shall thoroughly review and communicate the adverse affect to CalPERS, on behalf of the employee, to ensure the employee is made whole.
