When it is determined that a new permanent part time position is required within a division, the City and the Union will meet and review this matter. In the event a dispute exists over the number of hours sought or duties not consistent with the assigned classification, the parties will move the matter to labor- management meetings, Section 2105.35, for resolution. If the matter is not resolved at the labor-management meeting, either party may move the matter to expedited arbitration, Section 2105.18.
(1) Notice of moving the matter to expedited arbitration must be mailed to the opposing party not more than twenty (20) workdays following the labor-management meeting.
(2) If a dispute exists, the part time position will not be filled until resolved through the expedited arbitration process.
(a) A part time position is defined as not normally exceeding thirty (30) straight time hours per week, or a set number of hours less than thirty (30).
(1) Pro-rated continuous service is determined by crediting one (1) month for each one hundred sixty (160) actual hours worked by the permanent part time employee, then applied from the respective original date of employment for city seniority or the date the employee went into a given classification for classification seniority.
(c) Permanent part time employees will be eligible for transfer/voluntary demotion, promotion, layoff and/or recall rights pursuant to the terms of this agreement, based on their accrued seniority and as otherwise set forth in this agreement.
(d) A permanent part time employee is not entitled to the overtime guarantees set forth in this agreement until the permanent part time employee has completed forty (40) straight time hours.
(e) The following benefits shall be made available to all permanent part time employees on a pro-rated basis:
(1) Sick time, Section 2105.78.
(2) Funeral pay, Section 2105.90.

(g) Permanent part time employees may reimburse the city for health care benefits, Section 2105.85, on a pro-rated share of the cost through direct payroll deduction.
(1) The pro-rated costs assessed to the permanent part time employee is determined by dividing the established number of straight time hours for the respective part time position by 40 (e.g. 30/40 = 75%, resulting in a 25% reimbursement, 15/40 = 37.5%, requiring a 62.5% reimbursement, etc.).
(2) Any and all pro-rating within this section will utilize the calculation set forth in (g)(1) above, unless specified otherwise.
