Manteca City Council

Date:

Subject:
Side Letter Agreement to amend the sick leave provision in the Manteca Public Safety Management Association Memorandum of Understanding
Recommendation:
title
It is recommended that the City Council Approve a Side Letter Agreement to amend the sick leave provision in the Manteca Public Safety Management Association (MPSMA) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
body
Background:
The MPSMA MOU Sick Leave Provision (Section 19) was ambiguous with regards to the annual and per pay period accrual benefit amounts for sick leave. The attached side letter amends that MOU provision to provide clarification of the historical and current accruals, which is 96 hours of sick leave per year (4 hours per pay period) for non-Fire Battalion Chief members; Fire Battalion Chief members are on a different work schedule and accrue 144 hours of sick leave per year (6 hours per pay period).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no financial impact to approve the side letter agreement since the MOU update is to only add clarification language.
