AGREEMENT
Mr. Kenneth Brynien, President
Public Employees
Federation, AFL-CIO
Dear Mr. Brynien:
This will confirm the understanding reached
during negotiations of the 2007-2011 State/PEF Agreement regarding the
availability of Leave for Professional Meetings for non-day shift employees
pursuant to Article 12.15 of the Agreement.
Non-day shift employees often wish to use
professional leave to attend professional meetings or programs necessary for
licensure that are held during what would otherwise be non-work hours. Accordingly, agencies shall make every effort
to accommodate requests from these employees to adjust their regular work
schedule to allow them to use professional leave. All other requirements for the use of
professional leave will continue to apply.
For the State:
John Currier
Deputy Director for Contract Negotiation and Administration
Governor's Office of
Employee Relations
For PEF:
President
Public Employees Federation
