Citywide Provisions • Wellness Program • Joint Labor/Management Committee on Health and Wellness has been working on a Citywide Wellness Program that will be rolled out in conjunction with HSS this summer • During bargaining, the Public Employee Committee (PEC) unions met with City leaders to discuss goals for the Wellness Program and to renew the parties’ commitment to supporting Wellness and reducing health care costs • Out of that process, the City negotiated side letters with SEIU (and Supervising Probation Officers) regarding the City’s commitment to Wellness issues • The City also communicated to all PEC unions its ongoing commitment to the Citywide Wellness Program 1

  16. Citywide Provisions • Progress on City initiatives • Extension of probationary period • Many contracts require Union agreement in writing to extend a probationary period, and the City has sought to change this in the last two rounds.

  19. SEIU, Local 1021, Miscellaneous • As-Needed Employees – Job Experience Crediting (JEC) Pilot Program - Overview • Perception by SEIU that the City has overly high usage of Temporary Exempt As-Needed (Category 16) employees, potentially depriving low-wage-earning members opportunities for and benefits of permanent employment • Goals of the JEC Program: identify classifications that meet the agreed-upon threshold for high use, and set up an exam process that gives credit for job experience and ultimately affects final ranking on an eligible list 1

  20. SEIU, Local 1021, Miscellaneous • As-Needed Employees – Job Experience Crediting (JEC) Pilot Program – Nuts & Bolts • Applies to classes in which at least 15% of total hours worked in the previous year were worked by As-Needed employees – identified classification will be referred to as JEC Classes • If no eligible list or holdover roster exist for the JEC Class, DHR committed to establish a multiple hurdle examination process that includes an assessment of related experience in the job in order to establish an active eligible list 1

  21. SEIU, Local 1021, Miscellaneous • As-Needed Employees – Job Experience Crediting (JEC) Program (Nuts & Bolts cont.) • The foundation for a JEC class examination is the establishment of  an assessment process that recognizes and awards points for relevant work experience.

  22. SEIU, Local 1021, Miscellaneous • As-Needed Employees – Job Experience Crediting (JEC) Program (Nuts & Bolts cont.) • If a classification is deemed to be a JEC Classification that qualifies for a PBT, the DHR Recruitment and Assessment Team will provide technical guidance to the department to develop the examination • DHR will ensure that departments are aware of the JEC class designation • HR Professionals – If you are planning a CBT or PBT for an SEIU classification during the first quarter of the new FY, you must first check with DHR/RAS to determine if the class is a covered classification, and if it is, you will have to consult with DHR/RAS to design the JEC element of the exam 1
