PREAMBLE
Pursuant to provisions of RCW 41.80 and in order to establish harmonious employment
relations through mutual cooperation, to promote the mission of the University, to
recognize the value of employees and the necessary work they perform, to determine
wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and to provide methods
for the prompt and equitable resolution of disputes, the parties enter into this Agreement.
This Agreement is made and entered into by and between the Board of Regents of the
University of Washington, hereinafter referred to as the Employer, and the Washington
Federation of State Employees, AFSCME Council 28, AFL-CIO hereinafter referred to as
the Union.
ARTICLE 1 UNION RECOGNITION
1.1 The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining
representative in all matters establishing and pertaining to wages and salaries,
hours, and working conditions for all employees of the University of Washington in
bargaining units certified by the Washington Personnel Resources Board, the
Public Employment Relations Commission and/or the Department of Labor and
Industries under the jurisdiction of RCW 28B.16 and 41.80. The composition of
these units is as set forth in Appendix I of this Agreement Bargaining Units
Represented by the Washington Federation of State Employees.
1.2 The Employer recognizes the exclusivity of the Union as bargaining representative
for employees in the bargaining unit. The Employer agrees not to enter into any
agreement or contract with bargaining unit employees, individually or collectively,
which conflicts with the terms of this Agreement unless the employee(s), Union
and Employer specifically agree to such Agreement.
ARTICLE 2 NON-DISCRIMINATION
2.1 The parties individually agree that they will not engage in any act or practice or
pursue any policy which is discriminatory against any employee who may be a
qualified disabled individual, has status as a protected veteran, who is a victim of
domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, nor because of their military status,
age, sex (except where sex or age is a bona fide occupational qualification), sexual
orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, pregnancy, political
affiliation, political belief, marital status, race, national origin, color, creed, religion,
immigration status, citizenship, or membership or non-membership in a union.
Unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment is a form of prohibited
discrimination and will not be tolerated in the workplace in accordance with
6
University of Washington Executive Order 31 on Nondiscrimination and Affirmative
Action.
"Race" is inclusive of traits historically associated or perceived to be associated
with race including, but not limited to, hair texture and protective hairstyles.
"Protective hairstyles" includes, but is not limited to, such hairstyles as afros,
braids, locks, and twists.
2.2
2.3 Complaints:
Employees who feel they have been the subject of discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation are encouraged to discuss such issues with their supervisor,
administrator, or Human Resource Consultant for local resolution. The employee
may also choose to report the incident utilizing the bias reporting tool (Reporting
Bias Incidents (Washington.edu) or UW Medicine Bias Reporting Tool | Care
Transformation (Washington.edu)). The goal of local resolution is to address and
resolve problems as quickly as possible and to stop any inappropriate behavior for
which a University employee is responsible.
A formal complaint may be filed with the University Complaint Investigation and
Resolution Office (UCIRO). As soon as possible, UCIRO will provide the
complainant with an email confirming they have received the complaint.
Employees may also file discrimination, harassment, or retaliation complaints with
appropriate federal or state agencies or through the grievance process in
accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement. In cases where an employee files
both a grievance and an internal complaint regarding the alleged discrimination,
harassment, or retaliation the grievance will be suspended until the internal
complaint process has been completed. If the UCIRO investigation exceeds sixty
(60) days, the Union may request a status update from Labor Relations
In accordance with Executive Order 31, retaliation against any individual who
reports concerns regarding discrimination or harassment, or who cooperates with
or participates in any investigation of allegations of discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation is prohibited.
2.4 The parties also agree that they will not engage in any act or practice or pursue
any policy which is discriminatory against any employee based on political
affiliation, political belief or because of the participation or lack of participation in
union activities.
2.5 Both parties agree that nothing in this Agreement will prevent the implementation
of an approved affirmative action plan.
7
2.6 A grievance alleging a violation of this article must be submitted within 180 days
of an alleged occurrence.
2.7 When a grievance or complaint is filed, the University will implement interim
measures as appropriate.
ARTICLE 3 REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION OF EMPLOYEES WITH
DISABILITIES
3.1 Disability Accommodation. The Employer and Union will comply with all relevant
federal and state laws, regulations and executive orders and with the provisions of
University of Washington Administrative Policy Statement 46.5 on Reasonable
Accommodation of Employees With Disabilities. The University and the Union are
committed to providing reasonable accommodation to employees with disabilities.
3.2 An employee who believes that they suffer a disability and requires a reasonable
accommodation to perform the essential functions of their position may request
such an accommodation through the Disability Services Office or by otherwise
informing the employee’s supervisor and/or department of the need for
accommodation.
3.3 Employees requesting accommodation must cooperate with the University in
discussing the need for and possible form of any accommodation. The Employer
may require supporting medical documentation. and may require the employee to
obtain a second medical opinion at Employer expense. Medical information
disclosed to the Employer will be kept confidential.
3.4 The Employer will determine whether an employee is eligible for a reasonable
accommodation and the final form of any accommodation to be provided. The
Employer will attempt to find opportunities for modified duty that can be offered to
employees in lieu of and/or after disability leave. If requests for modified duty are
denied, the Employer, upon request, will provide the modified duty options that
were considered and reason(s) for denial electronically or in writing.
3.5 An employee who is unable to perform the essential function of their position due
to disability may be separated from service after the Employer has made good
faith efforts to reasonably accommodate the employee’s disability in accordance
with applicable state and federal law. Disability separation is not a corrective
action.
3.6 Disability Leave. Disability leave may be a combination of the employee’s accrued
sick time off, vacation time off, personal holiday, compensatory time, and/or unpaid
time off, the combination of which may be determined by the employee. If disability
leave is taken as an unpaid absence, the employee may apply eight (8) hours of
8
accrued paid time off per month during at least the first four (4) months of disability
leave to provide for continuation of employer paid health benefits. The interspersed
paid time off will be applied to the first working day of the month.
3.7 Pregnancy Accommodation. The Employer and the Union will comply with all
relevant federal and state laws, regulations, and executive orders and with the
provisions of University of Washington Administrative Policy Statement 46.7
Reasonable Accommodation of Pregnant Employees. The University and the
Union are committed to providing reasonable accommodation to pregnant
employees.
A. The following pregnancy-related accommodations shall not require health care
provider certification and are not subject to an employer's claim of undue
hardship:
1. Providing more frequent, longer, or flexible restroom breaks;
2. Modifying a no food or drink policy;
3. Providing seating or allowing the employee to sit more frequently if their
job requires them to stand; and
4. Restricting lifting to 17 lbs. or less.
B. An employee's pregnancy or pregnancy-related health condition may also be
accommodated as follows:
1. Job restructuring, part-time or modified work schedules, reassignment to a
vacant position, or acquiring or modifying equipment, devices, or an
employee's work station;
2. Providing for a temporary transfer to a less strenuous or less hazardous
position;
3. Providing assistance with manual labor and limits on lifting;
4. Scheduling flexibility for prenatal visits; and
5. Any further pregnancy accommodation an employee may request.
With respect to these accommodations, the University may request an employee
provide written certification from their treating health care provider regarding the
need for reasonable accommodation and may deny an employee's request for
reasons of significant difficulty or expense.
ARTICLE 4 – WORKPLACE BEHAVIOR
The Employer and the Union agree that all employees should work in an
environment that fosters mutual respect and professionalism. The parties agree
that inappropriate behavior in the workplace does not promote the University’s
business, employee well-being, or productivity. All employees are responsible for
9
contributing to such an environment and are expected to treat others with courtesy
and respect.
Inappropriate workplace behavior by employees, supervisors and/or managers will
not be tolerated. At no time will bullying be accepted as appropriate workplace
behavior. Bullying is defined as language or conduct that is unwelcome and
sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive such that it could reasonably be
expected to create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment, or has the
purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an employee's work
performance, when viewed through both an objective and subjective standard. If
an employee and/or the employee’s union representative believes the employee
has been subjected to inappropriate workplace behavior, the employee and/or the
employee’s representative is encouraged to report this behavior to the employee’s
supervisor, a manager in the employee’s chain of command and/or the Human
Resources Office. An employee or the employee’s representative should identify
complaints as inappropriate workplace behavior. The Employer will investigate the
reported behavior and take appropriate action as necessary. If the investigation
exceeds sixty (60) days, the Union may request a status update. The employee
and/or union representative will be notified upon conclusion of the investigation.
Retaliation against employees who make a workplace behavior complaint will not
be tolerated.
Grievances filed under this article may only be advanced up to Step 3 Mediation.
ARTICLE 5 – AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
5.1 Policies. In conjunction with Federal and State laws, regulations and Executive
Orders, the Employer and the Union agree on the need for an affirmative action
program to correct and review any inequities in the employment process. The
Employer shall develop, implement, monitor, and report on an affirmative action
program requiring the Employer to make special efforts to recruit, employ, retain,
train, and promote, underutilized groups even if that exclusion cannot be traced to
particular discriminatory actions by the Employer. The Employer shall also
develop, implement, monitor, and report on affirmative action goals for hiring
and/or promoting into job classes/categories where the Employer determines
under-utilization exists. The Employer shall make no decisions regarding
employment based on membership in any protected class
5.2 Groups included in the affirmative action program are the protected classes
covered by the relevant federal and state regulations.
10
5.3 Affirmative Action Reports. Upon request, the Employer will provide the Union with
its current affirmative action reports listing placement goals of the University for
bargaining unit employees.
5.4 It is agreed by the parties that a bargaining unit member elected or selected by the
Union shall be encouraged to take an active interest in affirmative action plans
affecting each bargaining unit covered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6 – GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The Union and the Employer agree that it is in their best interest to resolve disputes at
the earliest opportunity and at the lowest level. Whenever possible, disputes should be
resolved informally prior to filing a formal written grievance. To that end, all supervisors
and employees are encouraged to engage in free and open discussions about disputes.
6.1 Definition. A grievance, within the meaning of this Agreement, shall be defined as
any dispute between the University and the Union, an employee, or a group of
employees as to alleged misapplication or misinterpretation of the terms of this
Agreement or the Employer’s written personnel rules, policies or practices.
6.2 Employee Grievance Rights. Any employee who believes they have been
aggrieved may personally seek relief from that condition by filing a grievance,
irrespective of any supervisor’s opinion of the grievance’s validity. In the
presentation of grievances, the employees shall be safe from restraint,
interference, discrimination, or reprisal.
6.3 Employee Representation. The Union as exclusive representative of bargaining
unit employees is the responsible representative of said employees in grievance
matters.
6.4 Time Limitations.
An extension of the time limitations as stipulated in the respective steps below,
may be obtained by mutual consent of the parties. Failure of the union to comply
with the time limitations without a request of time extension shall constitute
withdrawal of the grievance. Failure of the Employer to comply with the time
limitations without a request for time extension shall move the grievance to the
next step of the grievance procedure. For the purpose of calculating time
requirements, the first day shall be the day following the day on which the
employee was aware, or reasonably should have been aware, of the issue giving
rise to the grievance. Saturdays, Sundays, and University holidays shall be
included in the calculation of days except that the final day may not be on a
Saturday, Sunday, or holiday but will end at the close of the first working day
11
following the Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.
6.5 Contents. The written grievance shall include the following information:
a. The date upon which the grievance occurred.
b. The specific Article(s) and Section(s) of the Agreement violated.
c. The past practice, rule, policy violated.
d. Specific remedy requested.
e. The grievant(s) name.
f. Name and signature of Union representative (Staff or Steward).
g. The nature of the grievance.
Failure to include the above information shall not be a reason for invalidating the
grievance.
6.6 Pay Status Meetings. Meetings and discussions on the grievance held with the
Employer in connection with this grievance procedure shall normally be held during
the University’s regular business hours, or as mutually agreeable, and no
deduction in pay status shall be made for the grievant or steward for reasonable
time spent in such meetings or discussions during the employee’s scheduled duty
hours. The work schedule of the grievant will be seriously considered in the
scheduling of the grievance meetings. Time off for employees and stewards shall
be granted by supervision following a request, but in consideration of job
responsibilities. If the requested time off cannot be granted, the parties shall
arrange for time off at the earliest possible time thereafter.
6.7 Grievance Withdrawal. A grievance may be withdrawn by the Union in writing at
any time, and if withdrawn shall not be resubmitted.
6.8 Resolution
If the Employer provides the requested remedy or a mutually agreed-upon
alternative, the grievance will be considered resolved and may not be moved to
the next step.
6.9 Consolidation
Grievances arising out of the same set of facts may be consolidated by written
agreement.
6.10 Filing and Processing
a. Filing A grievance must be filed within thirty (30) days of the occurrence giving
rise to the grievance, or the date the grievant knew or could reasonably have
known of the occurrence. When possible the thirty (30) day periods above should
be used to attempt to informally resolve the dispute. The union steward or staff
12
representative will indicate when a discussion with the Employer is an attempt to
informally resolve a dispute.
1) A grievance involving only Article 47 Contracting must be filed within
forty five (45) days of the occurrence giving rise to the grievance, or the date
the grievant knew or could reasonably have known of the occurrence. The
forty five (45) day periods above must be used to attempt to informally
resolve the dispute.
b. Alternative Resolution Methods Any time during the grievance process, by
mutual consent, the parties may use alternative methods to resolve the dispute. If
the parties agree to use alternative methods, the time frames in this Article are
suspended. If the selected alternative method does not result in a resolution, the
Union may return to the grievance process and the time frames resume. Any
expenses and fees of alternative methods will be shared equally by the parties.
c. Processing The Union and the Employer agree that in-person meetings are
preferred at all steps of the grievance process and will make efforts to schedule in-
person meetings, if possible.
6.11 Steps of the Grievance Procedure. All grievances shall be processed in
accordance with the following procedure. Upon mutual agreement, Step One, Two
or Three may be skipped. Grievances over final counseling or dismissal will begin
at Step Two. If either the Union or the Employer elects to skip Step One when a
group grievance (five (5) or more grievants) is filed, Step One will be skipped and
the grievance will be moved to Step Two.
Step One: Supervisor, Manager or Designee
If the issue is not resolved informally, the Union may file a written grievance to the
supervisor or designee, and the Labor Relations office (laborr[email protected]). The Employer
will designate a supervisor, manager or designee who will meet in person or confer by
telephone with a union steward and/or staff representative and the grievant. The date of
the meeting will be mutually agreed upon within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of
the grievance and when possible the meeting will take place within the aforementioned
fifteen (15) calendar days. The format (face to face or by telephone) for the meeting will
be by mutual agreement. The employer will respond in writing to the Union within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the meeting. The Human Resources Consultant may also attend,
if desired by the University. If the grievance is directed against the employee’s immediate
supervisor, the grievance may be presented to the next higher level of supervision. In the
event the employee’s immediate supervisor does not have authority to resolve the
grievance, the grievance will be presented at the level having authority to act as
determined by the Employer.
Step Two: If a satisfactory settlement is not reached in Step One, said grievance may be
13
moved to the Step Two by filing the written grievance, including a copy of the Step One
decision to department head, designee, or to the next appropriate level of management
and the Office of Labor Relations within fifteen (15) calendar days after the decision from
Step One. The date of the meeting will be mutually agreed upon within fifteen (15)
calendar days after notice of the filing at Step Two and when possible the meeting will
take place within the aforementioned fifteen (15) calendar days. The grievant may be
represented by a steward and a Union staff representative. The University will be
represented by the appropriate management official(s) or designee(s), a representative
from the Office of Labor Relations, and a Human Resources Consultant, if desired by the
University. The University will respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after the
meeting.
Step Three: Grievance Mediation. If the grievance is not resolved at the Step Two, the
Union may file a request for mediation with the Public Employment Relations Commission
(PERC) in accordance with WAC 391-55-020, with a copy to the Labor Relations Office
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Step Two decision. In addition to all other filing
requirements, the request must include a copy of the grievance and all previous
responses. The Union may skip Step Three Mediation by providing the Employer written
notification within thirty (30) days of the Step Two decision. The Employer will inform the
Union, in writing, and PERC within thirty (30) days of receipt of Mediation request if they
are not in agreement. If those services are unavailable on a timely basis, the parties may
request a list of grievance mediators from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
(FMCS) or other agreed upon mediation provider. The cost of the mediation shall be borne
equally by both parties.
Step Four: Arbitration. If a satisfactory settlement is not reached at the prior step, or the
step was skipped, either of the signatory parties to this Agreement may submit the
grievance to binding arbitration. Such submittal must be made within thirty (30) calendar
days following the written notice that the employer does not agree to Step Three (3)
Mediation or the conclusion of the prior step.
Panel of Arbitrators:
A. Within sixty (60) calendar days of the execution of the Agreement, the parties,
SEIU 925, WFSE 1495 and 3488, and the Employer, agree to meet to establish
a permanent panel of six (6) arbitrators. If the parties do not meet or if there is
no agreement on the panel, the current panel will remain.
B. These arbitrators shall be assigned cases by the parties on a rotating basis. If
the arbitrator is not available to hear the case within sixty (60) calendar days of
being contacted to request available arbitration dates either party may elect to
go to the next arbitrator in the rotation. If no arbitrator can hear the case within
sixty (60) calendar days of being contacted, the case will be assigned to the
arbitrator who can hear the case on the earliest date.
14
C. The appointment to the panel will be for the life of the Agreement. If an arbitrator
decides to remove their name from the panel the parties will meet to decide
whether to substitute an additional name(s).
No later than seven (7) working days prior to the scheduled arbitration meeting, the parties
will submit questions of arbitration eligibility to the arbitrator for preliminary determination,
share the name of each witness intending to testify at the hearing, and attempt to agree
upon the issue statement. A copy of written materials submitted to the arbitrator will be
provided to the opposing party.
If either party raises an issue of procedural arbitrability, i.e. that any step of the grievance
process or movement to arbitration was not pursued within the time limits proscribed in
this article, the arbitrator shall make a determination on the arbitrability issue prior to
proceeding to a hearing on the merits of the grievance. If the arbitrator determines the
grievance is not arbitrable, then no hearing on the merits of the grievance will be held.
Authority of the Arbitrator
The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have no power to render a decision that adds
to, subtracts from, alters or modifies in any way the terms and conditions of the
Agreement. The parties further agree that the decision of the arbitrator will be final and
binding upon all parties.
The Union or the Employer will have the right to request the arbitrator to require the
presence of witnesses and/or documents. The arbitrator’s decision shall be made in
writing and the arbitrator shall be encouraged to render the decision within thirty (30)
calendar days of the close of the arbitration.
In cases where a grievance is moved to arbitration and the Employer did not agree to
Step Three: Grievance Mediation, either party may request a pre-arbitration settlement
conference. These conferences shall not delay the arbitration process, and may be held
with or without the presence of the arbitrator, at the option of the moving party. In the
event that an arbitrator is present, the cost of the arbitrator’s participation shall be borne
equally by the parties.
6.12 Arbitration Costs
1. The fees and costs of the arbitrator, and the cost (if any) of the hearing room,
will be shared equally by the parties.
2. If the arbitration hearing is postponed or canceled because of one party, that
party will bear the cost of the postponement or cancellation. The costs of any
mutually agreed upon postponements or cancellations will be shared equally by
the parties.
15
3. If either party desires a record of the arbitration, a court reporter may be used.
If that party purchases a transcript, a copy will be provided to the arbitrator free of
charge. If the other party desires a copy of the transcript, it will pay for half of the
costs of the fee for the court reporter, the original transcript and a copy.
4. Each party is responsible for all fees and costs of its staff representatives,
attorneys, experts, witnesses and all other costs related to the development and
presentation of their case. Every effort will be made to avoid the presentation of
repetitive witnesses.
6.13 Files. Grievance documents shall be maintained separately from employee
personnel files. Employee personnel files will accurately reflect the final outcome
of a grievance.
ARTICLE 7 – EMPLOYEE RIGHTS
7.1 Representation
Upon request, an employee will have the right to representation at an investigatory
meeting, requested by management in which the employee reasonably believes
could lead to corrective action. Upon request, an employee will have the right to
an interpreter at an investigatory meeting. The employer will provide at least three
(3) business days to allow an employee to secure a representative. The exercise
of this right will not unreasonably delay or postpone a meeting. Except as
otherwise specified in this Agreement, representation will not apply to discussions
with an employee in the normal course of duty, such as giving instructions,
assigning work, informal discussions, delivery of paperwork, staff or work unit
meetings or other routine communications with an employee.
7.2 Paid Release Time
Employees will be provided a reasonable amount of time during their normal
working hours to meet with the union steward and/or staff representative to
process a grievance. In addition, employees will be released during their normal
working hours to attend meetings or hearings scheduled by management for the
following:
a. Informal grievance resolution meetings, grievance meetings, alternative
dispute resolution meetings, mediation sessions and arbitration hearings, in
accordance with Article 6, Grievance Procedure, and held during the
employee’s work time;
b. Management scheduled investigatory interviews and/or pre-disciplinary
meetings, in accordance with Article 36, Corrective Action, and;
c. Negotiations in accordance with Article 40, Mandatory Subjects.
16
d. Joint Labor Management meetings in accordance with Article 43.
7.3 When an employee is subpoenaed as a witness on behalf of the Union in an
arbitration case, with the employer, the employee may appear without loss of pay if
the employee appears during scheduled work time, providing the testimony given
is related to their job function or involves matters they have witnessed, and is
relevant to the arbitration case. Every effort will be made to avoid the presentation
of repetitive witnesses.
7. Notification
An employee will obtain prior approval from their supervisor before attending any
meeting or hearing. All requests must include the approximate amount of time the
employee expects the activity to take. Employees will suffer no loss in pay for
attending management scheduled meetings and hearings that are scheduled
during the employee’s work time. Attendance at meetings or hearings during the
employee’s non-work hours will not be considered as time worked. An employee
cannot use a state vehicle to travel to and from a worksite in order to attend a
meeting or hearing unless authorized by the Employer.
7.5 Indemnification.
The University will indemnify employees for activities arising out of their
employment in accordance with University policy.
7.6 Off the Job Activities.

and Medical Leave Act of 1993, an employee who has worked for the state for at
least twelve (12) months and for at least one thousand two hundred and fifty (1250)
hours during the twelve (12) months prior to the requested leave is entitled to up
to twelve (12) work weeks of leave per year for any combination of the following:
a. parental leave to care for a newborn or newly placed adopted or foster child; or
b. personal medical leave due to the employee’s own serious medical condition
that requires the employee’s absence from work; or
c. family medical leave to care for a family member who suffers from a serious
medical condition that requires care or supervision by the employee.
Family Member is defined as: the employee’s spouse or same or opposite sex
domestic partner, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sister, or brother. It
also includes individuals in the following relationships with the employee’s
spouse or domestic partner: child, parent, and grandparent. “Child” also
includes any child residing in the employee’s home through foster care, legal
guardianship or custody. Family members include those persons in a “step”
relationship.
42
21.2 The amount of family medical leave available to an employee is determined by
using a rolling twelve (12) month period. The rolling twelve (12) month period
measures FMLA leave availability by "looking backward" from the date an
employee begins FMLA leave, adding up any FMLA leave used in the previous
twelve (12) months, and subtracting that amount from the employee's twelve (12)
workweek FMLA leave entitlement. The remaining amount is available to the
employee.
a. While on leave covered by FMLA, the employee must use accrued leave before
leave without pay for the absence unless it runs concurrently with Washington
Family and Medical Leave (PFML).
b. The Employer will not require the use of paid leave such that it would result in
the employee having fewer than eighty (80) hours of accrued vacation leave or
eighty (80) hours of accrued sick leave, counted separately, upon return to work.
Vacation and sick leave that has been requested and approved prior to the request
for the use of FMLA will not be considered when requiring employees to use leave
during FMLA-covered leave. This does not apply during an absence covered by
the Washington Family and Medical Leave Program (PFML).
21.3 The University will continue the employee’s existing employer-paid health
insurance benefits during the period of leave covered by FMLA. If necessary, due
to continued approved personal medical or parental leave approved beyond the
FMLA period, or if the employee is not eligible for FMLA, the employee may elect
to use eight (8) hours of accrued applicable paid leave for continuation of employer
paid health insurance benefits for each month of the duration of the approved
absence. The interspersed paid leave will be applied to the first working day of the
month.
21.4 FMLA leave may be taken intermittently or as part of a reduced work schedule
when medically necessary
21.5 Parental Leave. Parental leave is defined as: up to six (6) months of leave taken
after the birth of a child to the employee, spouse or domestic partner, or because
of the placement of a child with the employee or domestic partner through adoption
or foster care, including time covered by the FMLA, during the first year after the
child’s birth or placement. Leave beyond the period covered by FMLA may only
be denied by the Employer due to operational necessity. Extensions beyond six
(6) months may be approved by the Employer. For birth parents, temporary
disability leave for pregnancy is in addition to parental leave.
To be paid during Parental leave employee's must use accrued vacation leave,
sick leave up to eighteen (18) weeks (720 hours), personal holiday, holiday credit,
or compensatory time, the combination of which may be determined by the
employee. Employees must use all applicable accrued leave prior to going on
43
leave without pay unless it runs concurrently with Washington Family and Medical
Leave (PFML).
ARTICLE 22 CHILD/DEPENDENT CARE
22.1 The Employer and the Union recognize that family life has a significant impact
upon employees’ work lives. To help maintain a quality workforce, the Employer
will continue to provide: referral assistance for daycare within the community,
partially subsidized backup child care benefits, and, where feasible, will consider
space and support for childcare centers at UW worksites.

provide input prior to any University action being taken to significantly reduce
availability of University-sponsored child care programs.
22.3 Union members will continue to be notified annually of the availability of the
Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) offered through the State of
Washington Department of Retirement Systems.
ARTICLE 23 SHARED LEAVE
23.1 The purpose of this article is to inform employees of the basic provision of the
leave-sharing program established by RCW 41.04.650- 41.04-670, as now or
hereafter amended. In the event that there is any question as to leave sharing
eligibility, entitlement or definition of terms, the language of the Revised Code of
Washington is definitive.

or to donate shared leave to another employee will follow the request procedures
that the Human Resources Department publishes for that purpose.

University Policy, eligible state employees may donate leave to the following
shared leave pool programs:
Uniformed Services Shared Leave Pool Program

workdays per calendar year as provided below.
a) Unpaid time off will be granted for up to two (2) workdays per calendar year for
a reason of faith or conscience or an organized activity conducted under the
auspices of a religious denomination, church or religious organization. Unpaid
time off may only be denied if the employee’s absence would impose an undue
hardship on the Employer as defined by Chapter 82-56 WAC or the employee
is necessary to maintain public safety.
b) The Employer will allow an employee to use compensatory time, personal
holiday or vacation time off in lieu of unpaid time off. All requests to use

indicate the time off is being used in lieu of unpaid time off for a reason of faith
or conscience. An employee’s personal holiday must be used in full workday
increments.

ARTICLE 25ABSENCE DUE TO FAMILY CARE EMERGENCIES
A. There are two types of family care emergencies:
1) A child care emergency is defined as a situation causing an employee's

pick up child at school earlier than normal.
2) An elder care emergency is defined as a situation causing an employee’s
inability to report for or continue scheduled work because of emergency
elder care requirements such as the unexpected absence of a regular care

emergency may use vacation time off, sick time off, compensatory time, holiday
credit, or unpaid time off up to a maximum of three (3) days of each type of time
off per calendar year, and their personal holiday. Use of any of the above time off
types is dependent upon the employee's eligibility to use such time off. The
employee upon returning from such an absence shall designate to which time off
type the absence will be charged.
C. In accordance with RCW 49.46.210, sick time off may be used when an
employee’s child’s school or place of care has been closed by order of a public
official for any health-related reason. Health-related reason means a serious public
health concern that could result in bodily injury or exposure to an infectious agent,
biological toxin, or hazardous material.
ARTICLE 26CIVIL DUTY TIME OFF AND BEREAVEMENT TIME OFF

ARTICLE 31HEALTH AND SAFETY
31.1 Health and Safety. It is the policy of the University of Washington to create and
maintain a safe and healthful workplace free from recognized hazards that may
cause harm to employees, consistent with and in compliance with applicable state
and federal laws. Employees will play an active role in creating a safe and healthy
workplace and will comply with all applicable health and safety rules. The Union
and the Employer are jointly committed to the goal of implementing an effective
health and safety program and accident prevention program that meets or exceeds
WISHA requirements.
31.2 Safety. All work shall be performed in conformity with applicable health and safety
standards. Employees are encouraged to immediately report any unsafe working
conditions to their supervisor. If the matter is not resolved satisfactorily between
the supervisor and employee, either may involve the Union Steward and request
a decision from a medical center’s Safety Officer, and/or the University’s
Department of Environmental Health & Safety or the Department of Labor &
Industries. No other employee may do the work believed to present an imminent
risk to life and safety until a risk assessment has been done by the Safety Officer
and/or the University’s Department of Environmental Health & Safety, or the
Department of Labor & Industries, and it is confirmed that there is no imminent
hazard. Once a risk assessment is completed and it is confirmed that there is no
imminent hazard and conditions meet WISHA standards, the employee will be
expected to perform the work.
51
Employees are encouraged to attempt to resolve the matter first with the
supervisor, then the Safety Officer and/or the University’s Department of
Environmental Health & Safety prior to going outside the University.
No employee shall be disciplined or retaliated against for reporting any such
condition.
31.3 Reporting. Employees in the bargaining units are encouraged to report
immediately to their supervisor and/or designated safety official any apparent
unsafe working condition. Employees shall use required safety devices and
perform work according to required safety procedures.
If a supervisor, the Employer-designated safety official, Labor and Industries or
Environmental Health and Safety (telephone 206-543-7262) declare a work site to
be hazardous and unfit for work, affected employees may be assigned to
alternative work sites until the hazardous condition is rectified. If assignment to an
alternative work site is not possible and the supervisor decides to send the
employee(s) home, those employees sent home will receive their regular pay for
all time the employee(s) is scheduled to work on the day of the incident. For all
subsequent days the employee(s) may use accrued leave as appropriate or
request make up time as follows:
a. Employees must request make up time within three (3) working days after
operations resume.
b. Reasonable work must exist and the supervisor must approve the request to
work. The time must be made up within ninety (90) calendar days after
operations resume.
31.4 Health Examinations. The Employer shall provide at no cost to the employee, such
medical tests, health examinations and surveillance/monitoring as may be required
as a condition of employment and/or as a result of regulated hazards encountered
after employment.
31.5 Safety Committees. Joint employee-elected and Employer appointed safety
committees shall be formed in accord with WISHA requirements and following
University of Washington policy. The Union is entitled to representation on the
University-wide or specific organizational or divisional committees where
bargaining unit employees are working. Any department or unit committee also
dealing with health and safety issues in work areas shall appropriately involve
bargaining unit employees. Participation in safety and health committees,
including meeting time, health and safety research, work on committee
assignments, seminars, and classes will be considered time worked for all
employees in accordance with University policy. Release time must be arranged
with supervisors in advance.
52
When the committee makes a recommendation that requires action or approval
beyond its scope of authority, the Employer will communicate its disposition of the
formal written recommendation within thirty (30) days.
31.6 Ergonomics. The supervisor/manager will provide training and equipment for staff
to safely perform job functions and avoid injury. Employees should contact their
supervisor if job procedures, equipment or workstations lead to risk of injury or
work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Further ergonomic guidelines shall be
referenced on the Environmental Health and Safety website
www.ehs.washington.edu.
31.7 Workplace Review. Supervisors will periodically inspect the worksite for the
identification of recognized hazards, including ergonomic conditions, and put in
place appropriate and feasible mitigations for any identified conditions that may be
hazardous to health and safety. Such mitigations may include the use of
engineering controls, administrative controls, the use of personal protective
equipment, and/or increased training. The organizational unit will determine the
appropriate frequency of the inspections and such frequency shall be an
appropriate topic for Union Management meetings.
In response to a DOSHA* (Department of Occupational Safety & Health
Administration Labor & Industries) inspection initiated by a bargaining unit
employee complaint, the Employer will contact the designated Union
representative to participate in the worksite inspection. Employees may also
request a workplace review by the employing department and employees shall be
given the results of the review.
31.8 WISHA Inspections. Each time there is a WISHA inspection of the Employer’s
property in an area where WFSE employees perform their duties, the Employer
shall contact the Union Office to find out whom the Union designates as the
employee representative. If the Union’s representative is not present for the
inspection, the Employer shall request that the WISHA inspector delay the
inspection until the Union’s representative can arrive.
31.9 Wellness. The Employer and the Union will encourage and support employee
participation in appropriate programs including the UW Care Link Services through
which employees may seek confidential assistance in the resolution of chemical
dependency or other problems that may affect job performance. UW Care Link
Services may presently be reached at 1-866-598-3978 (business hours) or 1-800-
833-3031 (24 hour line). No employee’s job security will be placed in jeopardy as
a result of seeking and following through with corrective treatment, counseling or
advice providing that the employee’s job performance meets supervisory
expectations.
53
31.10 Tools and Equipment. The Employer will furnish and maintain in safe working
condition all tools and equipment required to carry out the duties of each position,
and will provide, during working hours, training on the safe operation and use of
tools/equipment/supplies required to perform the employee’s duties. The
Employer agrees to provide transport for necessary equipment and supplies which
cannot safely be transported by hand. The employees will properly use and
maintain all required tools/equipment/supplies and immediately report any defects
or malfunctions to the supervisor.
31.11 Joint Union/Management Committee. It shall be appropriate for either the Union
or the University to request that a Joint Union/Management committee be
convened, with Environmental Health and Safety as a participating member, to
discuss health and safety concerns and to explore options for addressing those
concerns through appropriate training or other approaches.
31.12 Training. Training that is relevant to the business operations and hazards involved
in the work activities will be provided in the workplace by qualified trained
individuals to employees.
Training needs will be an appropriate topic at Joint Union/Management committee
meetings. Assistance with interpretation may be requested by staff.
31.13 Safety and Health Grievances. Grievances arising out of violations of this Article
will start at Step 2 of the grievance procedure.
*WISHA was renamed DOSHA (Department of Occupational Safety & Health
Administration Labor & Industries) in 2006. The term WISHA was left in
because the parties felt that the WISHA name would be more recognizable by its
members.
31.14 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
A. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) in WAC 296-
800-160 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requires all employers to assess
their workplace for hazards that might require the use of personal protective
equipment. If PPE has to be used, the supervisor must require its use.
After the assessment and selection, employees required to use PPE must be
trained before they are required to use the PPE. All of the following must be
covered:
a. What PPE to use and when to use it
b. Limitations of the PPE
c. How to put it on, take it off and adjust it
d. Inspection and maintenance

32.2 Prior to any decision by a department head to purchase or modify uniforms,
employees in their respective departments shall be given an opportunity to consult
with their department head regarding the color, fabric, and style or uniform to be
worn. The department head shall consider seasonal temperatures in the selection
of uniforms. The department head will consider the wishes of the employees in
making a decision.

employee fails to return the provided tools, equipment and/or foul weather gear,
the Employer may deduct the value of the items from the employee’s final pay.
ARTICLE 33 – TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION
33.1 Parking/U-Pass. The Union agrees that during the life of this Agreement, the
University may apply changes in transportation policy, including adjusting parking
and U-pass fees and criteria for assigning parking spots, to the bargaining unit
without the obligation to bargain with the Union. The Union may raise issues and
concerns about the University’s parking program at Joint Labor/Management
Committee meetings or at ad hoc Labor Management Committee meetings. The
Union shall have a standing seat on the University’s committee(s) that work on
transportation and parking issues.
33.2 Flexible schedules to assist in commute trip reduction. Departments having
continuous and/or public responsibility may establish independent work
schedules in order to meet their special needs. Departments are encouraged to
give serious consideration to employee requests for flexible schedules for

ARTICLE 34PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
34.1 Performance evaluations shall be performed annually. Evaluations shall be based
on job related performance factors. Performance evaluations shall not be used to
initiate personnel actions such as transfer, promotions or corrective action;
however, evaluations may serve as supporting documentation for personnel
actions. A supervisor’s failure to complete an annual performance evaluation will
be construed to mean the employee has performed satisfactorily. Employee

fully exonerated of wrongdoing, and/or any documents removed pursuant to Article
36 Corrective Action, will be promptly removed from the employee’s files. The
Employer may retain this information in a legal defense file in accordance with the
prevailing Washington State law. The Employer may retain information relating to
employee misconduct or alleged misconduct if the employee requests that the
information be retained.
ARTICLE 36 CORRECTIVE ACTION/DISMISSAL
36.1 The parties will follow the “Corrective Action/Dismissal Process” outlined below.
No employee shall be subject to the process except for just cause. The corrective
action process will be considered to incorporate the concept of progressive action
while providing a positive method for improvement rather than punitive action. The
University will determine the specific step at which the process begins based on
the nature and severity of the problem
36.2 Representation.
(a) Employees shall be notified orally that upon request they shall be entitled to
have a representative present when formal counseling, final counseling or
dismissal is occurring. The Employer will provide at least three (3) business days
to allow an employee to secure a Union Representative. If notice is given prior to
the midpoint of the scheduled shift or if the employee is in paid administrative time
off, the day of notification is the first day. Employees have a right to a meeting with
60
management whenever corrective action is issued. Attendance of a representative
shall not delay the disciplinary process unduly as determined by the Employer. All
parties shall make every effort possible to allow for Union representation without
unduly delaying the process.
(b) Upon request, an employee has the right to a union representative at an
investigatory interview called by the Employer, if the employee reasonably believes
corrective action could result. The employer will provide at least three (3) business
days to allow an employee to secure a representative. If notice is given prior to
midpoint of the scheduled shift or if the employee is on paid administrative time off,
the day of notification is the first day.
The role of the union representative in regard to an Employer-initiated investigation
is to provide assistance and counsel to the employee and not interfere with the
Employer’s right to conduct the investigation. Every effort will be made to
cooperate in the investigation.
(c) An employee placed on an alternative assignment during an investigation will
not be prohibited from contacting their union steward unless there is a conflict of
interest, in which case the employee may contact another union steward. This
does not preclude the Employer from restricting an employee’s access to the
Employer’s premises.
(d) An interpreter can be requested by either party and will be provided.
36.3 Coaching. Informal discussion or instruction between employee and their
immediate supervisor. Supervisor may follow up in writing which may include a
simple action plan. This is not a form of corrective action.
36.4 Corrective Action/Dismissal Process. The Employer will make clear when formal
or final counseling is being conducted and will inform the employee about their
right to representation under the CBA. When counseling or dismissing an
employee, the Employer will make every effort to protect the privacy of the
employee. Translators may be requested by any party.
Formal Counseling. Formal counseling (may involve administrative personnel
other than the employee’s immediate supervisor) including the development of a
written action plan. The action plan will identify specific problem areas,
performance objectives, suggestions for remedying, and a timeframe for
improvement. Prior to issuance of formal counseling, a meeting may be scheduled
by the employer or requested by the employee to give the employee an opportunity
to make their case before the final decision is made. Employee requests for such
a meeting will be granted. An employee is entitled to representation at this meeting.
61
Final Counseling. Final counseling (may involve administrative personnel other
than the employee’s immediate supervisor) including action plan discussion and
revision, where appropriate.
Dismissal. Prior to dismissal, a pre-determination meeting will be scheduled to give an
employee an opportunity to make their case before the final decision is made. The
employee has the right to have a Union Council representative present at the pre-
determination meeting. At least five (5) days prior to the meeting, the employee
will be informed in writing of the reasons for the contemplated dismissal and given
referenced documentation. The employee will be furnished with written notification
of the outcome of the pre-determination hearing.
Demotion: Demotion of Leads and/or Supervisors may be initiated in lieu of
termination by the Employer at any step of the Corrective Action process.
36.5 Removal of Records.
Upon written request by the employee, any formal or final counseling, excluding
those for workplace violence or University policies against harassment,
discrimination, or retaliation, or those in which the employee was the subject of
an investigation, allegation, or findings of sexual misconduct, will be removed
from an employee’s personnel file after three (3) years if the following criteria
have been met:
1. Circumstances set forth in writing, and as determined by the University do
not warrant a longer retention period; and
2. There has been no subsequent corrective action.
Nothing in this Article prevents the Employer from agreeing to an earlier removal
date.
Once a corrective action has been removed from the employee’s file as outlined
above, the information removed will not be used in subsequent corrective action,
unless mutually agreed otherwise.
36.6 Grievability/Arbitrability.
Formal counseling may be grieved beginning at Step One or Step Two of the
grievance procedure and up to Step Three Mediation only.
Final counseling, demotion, and dismissal may be grieved through every step of

ARTICLE 37EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
62
The Employer will continue to offer an Employer supported Employee Assistance
Program for all employees covered by this Agreement. Employees can request, and
Employer will consider, adjustments in schedule to allow access to the services of the
Employee Assistance Program.
The Employee Assistance Program will protect the confidentiality of those employees
using their services.
ARTICLE 38SENIORITY, LAYOFF, REHIRE
38.1 a. Seniority.
Layoff seniority is defined as the continuous length of service in calendar days with
the Employer from the most recent date of hire. Service of less than full time shall
be considered full time. Time spent on paid or unpaid time off will not impact layoff
seniority. Time spent on the layoff rehire list shall not be included in computing
layoff seniority. Permanent employees who are veterans or their unmarried
widows/widowers shall have added to their seniority the veteran’s active military
service to a maximum of five (5) years credit. Time spent on military duty time off
paid or unpaid, or time spent on unpaid time off to work for the union in accordance
with Article 29, is included in seniority calculation. Probationary employees are not
vested with seniority credits until successfully completing the probationary period.
Seniority shall be lost following a break in service including resignation, termination
for cause, failure to return from a leave of absence, expiration of rehire rights.
Neither time spent on leave of absence, the layoff rehire list, or on cyclic year leave
shall be considered a break in service.
Employees who enter into the bargaining unit from other positions at the University
of Washington shall be credited with layoff seniority for all seniority earned in the
State classified service while employed at the University. Employees who enter
into the bargaining unit from other state agencies and institutions of higher
education shall earn layoff seniority from the first day of coverage under this
Agreement.
b. Department Seniority.
Department seniority is defined as continuous length of service in calendar days
within the employee’s department and where applicable, shall be used for internal
department processes, such as vacation and schedule bids.
c. Layoff Seniority Tiebreaker.
For the purposes of layoff only, when it is necessary to determine the order of
seniority among bargaining unit members whose contract seniority is identical,
a random chance method will be employed to select the names of those
63
employees one at a time. The University shall inform the Union every time this
method is necessary and will provide proof of the seniority tie.
When selecting among employees whose seniority is identical, the Union may
be represented by any individuals it chooses, and will draw the names. The
University will be represented by a manager/administrator from the Department
involved and a representative from Human Resources.
The first employee selected will be considered the most senior; the last employee
selected will be considered the least senior.
38.2 a. Layoff.
(1) Whenever it becomes necessary for the Employer to reduce its workforce
due to lack of work, lack of funds, or good faith reorganization for efficiency
purposes, the Employer shall use the following procedure. The Employer will
notify the Union of impending layoffs thirty (30) calendar days in advance of
implementation so that reasonable alternative proposals can be considered.
Whenever possible the Employer will provide more than minimum notice.
(2) The Employer shall not lay off bargaining unit employees in lieu of
disciplinary action.
(3) Employees will be laid off in accordance with seniority, as defined in Article
38.1(a)
b. Employment Option.
The employee affected by the reduction in force shall be offered the following
employment options in descending order, provided they meets the essential
skills (defined as the minimum qualifications listed in the job description for the
classification and any specific position requirements or credentialing) of the
offered position:
1. A funded vacant position within the same job classification, FTE, and
layoff unit (set forth in Appendix IV).
2. The funded vacant position within the same job classification within .2
FTE status and layoff unit.
3. The opportunity to replace the most junior employee within the
layoff/seniority unit (set forth in Appendix IV) in the same classification
and in an FTE status within .2 FTE status of the employee affected by
the reduction in force. (For example, if a .8 FTE position is being
abolished, the employee affected is eligible to replace the most junior
individual in a .6 to 1.0 FTE position)
64
4. The opportunity to replace the most junior employee in the same
classification with a lower FTE status than their own within the
layoff/seniority unit.
5. The opportunity to replace the most junior employee within the same
department who is:
a. In a lower classification in the same series as the employee
affected by the reduction in force; and
b. Within .2 FTE of the employee affected by the reduction in force.
c. Notice.
The Employer shall identify the positions to be abolished and the employee(s)to
be affected and shall notify employees in these positions, with notice to the
union, not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the abolishment of the
positions, pay the employee in lieu of notice, or combine pay and notice.
Whenever possible the Employer will provide more than minimum notice. The
notice shall include:
(1) The effective date of the layoff and a reference to the employee’s rights
under this Article, and
(2) Identification of the employment option being offered, if applicable.
In accordance with 38.2.b. above, if the incumbent in a position to be abolished
has an opportunity to replace the most junior employee within the layoff/seniority
unit, the incumbent will be given up to three (3) calendar days to determine if
he/she wants to replace the junior employee or be placed on the rehire list.
Vacant positions or those held by probationary employees within the
layoff/seniority unit will be considered a more junior position.
d. FTE Increase or Reduction.
An employee in a position that is not abolished but is increased or reduced in
FTE status and who will remain benefit eligible after the reduction or increase
will have the choice of staying in the reduced or increased position and going
on the rehire list for the position and FTE status held by the employee
immediately prior to the increase or reduction or exercising available layoff rights
under 38.2. The employee must exercise this choice within three (3) working
days of the increase or reduction notice.
e. Voluntary Layoff:
Appointing authorities will allow an employee in the same job classification and
department where layoffs will occur to volunteer to be laid off provided that the
65
employee is in a position requiring the same skills and abilities, as a position
subject to layoff. Any volunteer for layoff shall have no formal layoff option. If
the appointing authority accepts the employee’s voluntary request for layoff, the
employee will submit a non-revocable letter stating they are accepting a
voluntary layoff from the University. The employee will be placed on all
applicable rehire lists.
f. Rehire.
The Employer shall make a concerted effort to re-employ bargaining unit
members on the rehire list. Bargaining unit members on the rehire list are eligible
to take all Professional & Organizational Development (POD) courses on a
space available basis upon payment of designated fees. Employees without
employment options will be placed on the rehire list(s) designated by the
employee for twenty-four (24) months. In addition to the rehire list for the
classification and FTE status from which the employee was laid off, employees
identified for layoff may request placement on the following rehire lists:
(1) For positions of a lower FTE status in the classification from which the
employee was laid off (or equivalent if prior classification has been
abolished); and
(2) For positions in other classifications in which the employee previously
held permanent status; and
(3) Lower classes in the series from which the employee was laid off.
The Employer will refer an employee from the designated rehire list(s) for
any open positions in the bargaining unit for which the laid off employee
possesses the essential skills. For classifications which have separate job
codes in the Campuswide and Harborview Bargaining Units, Rehire lists will
include both job codes. Employees referred from the rehire list(s) who
possess the essential skills needed for a vacant position will be offered the
position prior to the Employer posting for competitive recruitment. From
among these employees, offers will be made in seniority order, most senior
person first. Job requests for positions for which there are employees on
rehire list(s) may not be withdrawn solely to avoid hiring laid off employees.
(4) The Employer will provide a copy of the Rehire List to the Union upon
request.
(5) When the job classification the employee was laid off from is represented
by both SEIU 925 and WFSE 1495 or Local 3488 the employee will be
placed on the rehire list for the specific job classification for both unions.
66
g. Rehire Trial Period.
Employees placed into vacant positions from the rehire list will serve a six (6)
week rehire trial period. During the rehire trial period either party may, at its
sole discretion and without resort to the grievance procedure, initiate return to
the rehire list. Time spent in a rehire trial period will not count toward the twenty-
four (24) month rehire list period. The six (6) week rehire trial period will be
adjusted to reflect any paid or unpaid leave taken during the period.
h. Corrective Action.
Final Counseling that occurs within the six (6) months prior to the layoff will be
considered in effect should the employee be rehired. The employee will
continue to be subject to any consequences of not following the directives
and/or action plan(s) specified in the current corrective action.
i. Removal from List.
Removal from the rehire list(s) will occur for any of the following circumstances:
(1) If placement does not occur within twenty-four (24) months,
(2) If the employee refuses two (2) offers of placement for a position having the
same pay, FTE status and shift as the position from which the employee was
laid off. In such case, the employee will be removed from all other rehire lists
and will have exhausted their rehire rights.
(3) If the employee was placed into two (2) vacant positions for which the
employee has failed to complete the rehire trial period.
(4) If the employee accepts any offer of placement from any rehire list and
completes the rehire trial service period for a position with the same FTE status
and pay as the position from which the employee was laid off.
(5) Employees who reject two (2) offers of placement from a list for a position
of a lower FTE status than that which the employee held immediately prior to
layoff will be removed from that list.
(6) Employees who reject one (1) offer of placement from a list for a position in
a classification other than that from which the employee was laid off will be
removed from that list.
j. Rehire List Crossover.
67
Employees within an SEIU Local 925 represented bargaining unit may, in
accordance with this Article, be placed on the rehire list for positions in another
SEIU Local 925 represented bargaining unit.
38.3 Rehire Wages and Increment Date.
When employees are rehired from layoff status the progression start date and
annual leave accrual date will be reestablished and extended by an amount of time
in calendar days equal to the period of time spent on the rehire list prior to rehire.
Employees placed from the rehire list into positions with the same salary range
held at the time of layoff shall be placed at the same step in the range held at the
time of layoff. Employees placed from the rehire list into positions with a lower
salary range than held at the time of layoff shall be placed in a salary step, not to
exceed top automatic step, nearest to, but not in excess of, the salary held at time
of layoff.
38.4 Affirmative action goals may be considered at any point during the layoff or rehire
process.
38.5 Benefits and Temporary Services.
Employees on the rehire list who follow the rules prescribed by Temporary
Services may be referred to temporary positions and can receive employer paid
health benefit coverage if they meet the eligibility requirements as determined by
the State.
ARTICLE 39RESIGNATION AND ABANDONMENT
39.1 Resignation. Employees are encouraged to provide at least two weeks’ notice of
resignation. A written or oral resignation may be withdrawn within twenty-four (24)
hours excluding the employee’s scheduled days off and holidays off, after
submitting the resignation. The employee may only withdraw one resignation per
position held. The Employer may permit withdrawal of resignation at any time.
39.2 Presumption of Resignation/Abandonment.
a. An employee who fails to appear for work and report absence to the supervisor,
in accordance with departmental policy, on three (3) consecutive scheduled
workdays, shall be deemed to have resigned. Notice of separation will be sent
to the employee’s last known address on record with the UW Payroll Office via
certified mail after the third (3
rd
) consecutive day of absence. Prior to sending
the notice, the Employer will attempt to contact the employee through current
home telephone and emergency contact numbers on record in Employee Self-
Service and departmental records.
68
b. Within fourteen (14) calendar days of mailing the separation notice and upon
proof that the failure to report absent could not reasonably have been avoided,
an employee may submit to the supervisor a written petition for reinstatement.
The Employer’s decision to not reinstate may be grieved according to the
grievance procedure in Article 6.
39.3 Separated employees have the right to compensation for accrued vacation leave
and compensation time according to University policy.
ARTICLE 40MANDATORY SUBJECTS
40.1 The Employer will satisfy its collective bargaining obligation before making a change
with respect to a matter that is a mandatory subject.
A. The Employer will notify the Executive Director of the Union at
mandatorynotice@wfse.org of these changes in writing, citing this Article. The written
notice must include:
1. A description of the intended change, including information relevant to the
impacts of the change on employees and a list of the job classifications and names
of affected employees if known;
2. Where the change will occur; and
3. The date the Employer intends to implement the change.
B. Within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the written notice the Union may request
negotiations over the changes. The timeframe for filing a demand to bargain will begin
after the Employer has provided written notice to the Union. The thirty (30) calendar day
period may be used to informally discuss the matter with the Employer and to gather
information related to the proposed change. The written notice requesting bargaining
must be filed with Human Resources Labor Relations (LR) at laborrel@uw.edu and shall
include at least three (3) available dates and times to meet.
C. In the event the Union does not request negotiations within thirty (30) calendar days
of receipt of the notice, the Employer may implement the changes without further
negotiations.
D. There may be emergency or mandated conditions that are outside of the Employer’s
control requiring immediate implementation, in which case the Employer will notify the
Union as soon as possible.
40.2 Unless agreed otherwise, the parties agree to begin bargaining within thirty (30)
calendar days of receipt of the request to bargain. If the union makes a request for
69
information at the same time as the request to bargain, the thirty (30) calendar days will
not begin until the information request has been fulfilled. Information requests made after
the request to bargain will not delay the scheduling of discussion and/or negotiations.
The parties shall agree to the location and time for the discussions and/or negotiations.
Each party is responsible for choosing its own representatives for these activities. The
Union will provide the Employer with the names of its employee representatives at least
seven (7) calendar days in advance of the meeting date unless the meeting is scheduled
sooner, in which case the Union will notify the Employer as soon as possible.
Release Time
a. The Employer shall approve paid release time for up to four (4) employee
representatives who are scheduled to work during the time meetings or
negotiations are being conducted, provided the absence of the employee will
not interfere with the operating needs of the Employer. The Employer may
approve leave without pay for additional employee representatives provided
the absence of the employee will not interfere with the operating needs of the
Employer. If the additional employee absence is approved, the employee(s)
may use personal holiday, vacation time off, holiday credit, or compensatory
leave instead of leave without pay.
b. No overtime will be incurred as a result of bargaining and/or preparation for
bargaining.
c. The Union is responsible for paying any travel or per diem of employee
representatives. Employee representatives may not use a state vehicle to
travel to and from a bargaining session, unless authorized by the Employer
for Business Purposes.
ARTICLE 41NEW EMPLOYEES
41.1 New Employees.
A. The Employer may offer a regularly scheduled, in-person, all day new
employee orientation which will include a benefits orientation. The
orientation will be offered by the office of Professional and Organizational
Development in coordination with the Benefits Office and the Employer may
require new employees from the Seattle Main Campus to attend. The new
employee orientation may take place virtually.
B. A Union representative shall be allowed up to thirty (30) minutes with
employees during the new employee orientation. Such release time will be
subject to the operational needs of the department and does not count as
time worked for the purpose of calculating overtime.
70
C. If the University conducts orientation on-line, the Union will be permitted to
display a reasonable amount of information as part of the program.
D. For employees hired into the bargaining unit who do not attend the
orientation described in A and B above, within ninety (90) days of the
employee’s start date, the Employer will provide the Union access to the
employee during the employee’s regular work hours to present information
about the Union. This access will be provided at the employee’s regular
worksite, or at a location mutually agreed to by the Employer and the Union
and will be for no less than thirty (30) minutes.
ARTICLE 42UNION ACTIVITIES, RIGHTS, AND STEWARDS
42.1 Staff Representatives
a. Within thirty (30) calendar days from the effective date of this Agreement, the
Union shall provide the Office of Labor Relations a list of staff representatives.
The Union shall provide written notice to the Employer of any changes within
thirty (30) calendar days of the change.
b. Staff representatives may access University premises to carry out
representational activities. The representative shall notify local management
prior to their arrival and shall not interrupt the normal operations of the
institution. The staff representative may meet with bargaining unit employees
in non-work areas during non-work times.
It is understood that any such visits which require a meeting with an employee
will be restricted to the non-working time of the employee unless otherwise
authorized by management or provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, and
that there will be no interference with an employee’s work assignment.
While inspecting the workplace, the Union may engage in de minimis
conversations with employees, so long as an employee does not object and
such conversation does not interfere or disturb the operation of the facility or
compromise the security of patient health information.
42.2 Union Stewards
a. The Employer recognizes the right of the Union to designate union stewards
who shall be permitted without unnecessary delay to devote reasonable
periods of time (for example, time to travel to the meeting site, 10-15 minutes
to confer with the employee prior to the meeting) during normal working hours
71
to present any grievance to the supervisor or designated representative for
which adjustment has been requested by an employee or group of employees.
b. Time off for processing grievances shall be granted to a Union steward by
supervision following a request but in consideration of any job responsibilities.
If permission for time off cannot be immediately granted, the supervisor will
arrange for time off at the earliest possible time thereafter.
c. The Union shall prevail upon all employees in the bargaining unit and especially
Union stewards, to make a diligent and serious attempt to resolve complaints
at the lowest possible level. The Employer, likewise, shall prevail upon its
supervisory personnel to cooperate fully with the Union stewards and other
Union representatives in the speedy resolution of any grievance that may arise.
d. A record of a steward's work time spent on grievances or other authorized
activity on behalf of the Union shall be maintained on a basis mutually
agreeable between the Union and the department involved.
e. In the event the Employer determines that the amount of work time used by
any steward on grievances or other authorized Union activities is unreasonable,
it may become a topic for mutual discussion between the parties.
f. Union stewards shall primarily conduct representational duties only within their
designated area of jurisdiction. Stewards may represent members in another
jurisdiction if the steward designated for that other jurisdiction is unavailable
(e.g. away on approved leave), has a conflict, or if there is no steward in that
area. In the event that a steward is unavailable, the steward of the next
geographically closest designated jurisdiction will be contacted to represent the
employee. The number of stewards in a particular area and the jurisdiction
they serve shall be an appropriate subject of discussion between the Union and
the Employer.
g. The Union agrees to submit an up-to-date list to the Office of Labor Relations
once per quarter indicating the name of all Union stewards, their work locations,
department, jurisdiction and designation as an Officer. In any event, said list
shall be submitted at least annually with changes noted as they occur. Union
stewards shall be recognized when the Office of Labor Relations is informed of
their appointment. Areas of jurisdiction are as follows: UWMC, South Campus
HSB, HMC, Health Sciences, South Lake Union, Downtown, Airlift Northwest,
UW Tower, Bothell Campus, Tacoma Campus, Seattle Campus, and
Sandpoint. Stewards shall be assigned by the union. Lead Stewards, shall be
recognized to have broader jurisdictions.
h. Whereas it benefits the University to have Union stewards who understand the
contract and are trained in administration of the contract, each of the Union’s
72
stewards shall be allowed a total of eight (8) working hours annually without
loss of pay to participate in the Union’s steward training program. Said time off
shall be approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor and shall be
contingent upon the ability to provide coverage during the time off.
The Union shall submit to the Office of Labor Relations at least fifteen (15) days
in advance the names of the employees (with their respective supervisors) that
are scheduled to participate in the training. The Union will confirm the
employee’s participation in the training upon completion.
i. New Steward Training: Where the Union requests in advance of an
investigatory meeting / fact finding, Step one or a Step two hearing that a
second steward (apprentice) be present for training purposes, this release will
be approved without loss of pay or recorded work time subject to the
operational needs of the second steward’s department. The Employer may
deny requests for a second steward to attend an investigatory meeting/fact
finding within the employee’s department. No overtime or compensatory time
will be earned for participation and no steward shall attend as a second steward
more than once.
42.3 Union Business Activities
a. Employees who intend to absent themselves from work for the purpose of
attending and participating in Union business functions or programs, such as
meetings, conventions, seminars, or other authorized meetings at the Union’s
request, may do so with supervisory approval. The Employee may use paid or
unpaid time consistent with University policy. Employees may use paid time in
the following order: 1) compensatory time, 2) holiday credit, 3) personal holiday
(whole day absences only, 4) accrued vacation time off. Unless this would
result in the loss of vacation time.
b. The employee shall request leave from the Employee’s immediate supervisor
at least two (2) weeks prior to the planned absence.
42.4 Use of State Facilities, Resources, and Equipment
a. Meeting Space and Facilities. The Employer’s campuses and facilities may be
used by the Union to hold meetings subject to the University’s policy and
availability of the space. The Employer may provide private space for stewards
and/or Union representatives to meet in confidence with those they represent
on a space available basis. Staff representatives may reserve and utilize
meeting rooms in accordance with University policy and procedure. Such
requests will be subject to availability and all applicable fees.
73
b. E-mail, Fax Machines, the Internet, and Intranets
Union delegates, and members may utilize state owned/operated equipment
to communicate with the Union and/or the Employer only for the exclusive
purpose of administration of this Agreement. Such use will:
1. Result in little or no cost to the Employer;
2. Be brief in duration and frequency;
3. Not interfere with the performance of their official duties;
4. Not distract from the conduct of state business;
5. Not disrupt other state employees and will not obligate other employees to
make a personal use of state resources; and
6. Not compromise the security or integrity of state information or software.
The Union and its union delegates will not use the above referenced state
equipment in a manner that is prohibited by the Executive Ethics Board.
Communication that occurs when using state-owned equipment is the
property of the Employer.
c. Bulletin Boards and Distribution of Union Material. Upon request, space will be
made available to the Union on bulletin boards in those areas where bargaining
unit employees work or frequent, for the posting of notices and information
pertaining to official business of the Union. Materials posted on Union bulletin
boards without the signature of a recognized Union officer or representative
may be removed.
Employees shall have the right to distribute official Union information materials
during hours off work. Such distribution of official material shall not interfere
with the work assignments of employees who are on duty. Further, such
distribution activities must be held in locations which cause no interference with
the various departments normal operations or with any employees who may
not be involved or interested.
42.5 Temporary Employment with the Union
With thirty (30) calendar days notice, unless agreed otherwise, employees may
be granted leave without pay if the employee is elected or appointed to serve as
an officer or staff member of a specified duration, not to exceed six (6) months,
provided the employee’s time off will not interfere with the operating needs of the
Employer as determined by management. Upon request, the department may
agree to an extension of leave without pay up to an additional six (6) months. The
returning employee will be employed in a position in the same job classification,
in the same layoff unit, and in the same geographical area, as determined by the
Employer.
432.6 Information Requests
74
A. Upon written request of the staff representative or steward to the Office of
Labor Relations (laborr[email protected]), the Employer will provide relevant
information necessary for conducting representational duties. Information will be
provided within a reasonable timeframe and without requiring the Union to file
with the Public Records Office.
B. The Employer will acknowledge receipt of the information request and will
provide the union with a date by which the information is anticipated to be
provided.
C. When the Union submits a request for information that the Employer believes
is unclear or unreasonable, the Employer will contact the Union staff
representative and the parties will discuss the relevance and necessity of the
request. The costs associated with the request and the amount the Union may
pay for receipt of the information may also be discussed.
ARTICLE 43JOINT UNION/MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES
43.1 The Joint Union/Management Committee shall normally be composed of up to
three members at the departmental level or six members at the University-wide
level plus two Union staff representatives. The Employer shall be represented by
a like number on the Committee.
43.2 The purpose of the Committee is to provide a forum for communication between
the parties to this Agreement to deal with matters of general Union/Management
concern. The Committee shall also function as a mechanism for resolving
problems/concerns of a mutual nature; and/or any policy of the University which
affects the bargaining unit and which either party requests be placed on the
agenda. It is agreed by the parties that the Employer will discuss with
representatives of the Union significant changes affecting institutional conditions

reasonable alternative proposals can be adequately discussed and considered by
the Union/Management Committee.
43.3 Meetings of the Union/Management Committee shall normally be held during
University business hours and at a mutually agreeable time and date. Participants

claimed or paid for meetings attended outside of an employee’s regular work
hours.
75
43.4 The Union/Management Committee shall have no bargaining authority; however,
any agreements reached through this process shall be reduced to writing and
supported by the Union representatives and Management.
43.5 The agenda shall be limited to items that are of a group rather than an individual
interest or concern and shall not include individual grievances properly processed
under the grievance procedure article. If a concern is not resolved and is also
grievable, a grievance may be filed pursuant to Article 6. If the parties mutually
agree, the matter will be submitted at Step 3 (mediation). The grievance must still
be timely in accordance with Article 6 Grievance Procedure.

ARTICLE 44CLASSIFICATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATION
44.1 Employer will allocate positions on a “best fit” basis to the most appropriate
classification at the University of Washington. Allocations shall be based on a
position’s duties, responsibilities, or qualifications.

responsibilities, or qualifications of a position or application of the professional
exemption criteria set forth in RCW 41.06.070(2).
44.3 (a) Should the University decide to create, eliminate or modify class
specifications which does not involve a major restructure to the overall
classification system, it will notify the Union in advance of implementing the
action. Notification will include the bargaining unit status of the classification and,
for a newly created or modified classification considered to be in the bargaining
unit, a proposed salary. Notification will occur at least forty-five (45) days in

University will meet and confer with the Union over its proposed action.
(b) An employee occupying a position reallocated to a class with a lower salary
range maximum due to a class being created, abolished or modified will retain the
salary of their former position until reaching the top of the range of the former
position, and then will be frozen until the new class pay range catches up.
An employee(s) occupying a position reallocated to a class with a higher salary
range due to a class being created, abolished or modified will receive the same
step in the new range as the employee(s) held in the previous range. The
progression start date of the employee will remain unchanged.
(c) Within thirty (30) calendar days following implementation of the University's
decision to create or combine classifications per Article 44, or modify class

Classification Review Hearing Officer selected under Article 44.6 of this contract,
to determine if the salary assigned to the classification is appropriate.
44.4 The Union may, at any time, propose a new classification with appropriate
justification. These proposals will be reviewed by the Compensation Office of

reviewing completed work assignments. Lead assignment pay may be for an
indefinite period, solely determined by the Employer and it shall not provide the
basis for an allocation or reallocation under Article 44.
Existing lead custodian positions may be converted to lead assignments when
vacant, at management’s option. Management decisions to create, modify, or
end any lead assignments under this section after July 1, 2013 are not grievable.
Employees holding lead job classifications as of July 1, 2013 will not be affected
by this section.
45.18 Career Enhancement/Growth Program.
The University will continue its Career Enhancement/Growth program. The
program will reward employees whose development of skills, increased
84
productivity, or assumption of higher level duties results in service enhancements
or efficiencies for the department in which the employee works.
CEGP steps on the respective pay tables (see Appendix V Pay Tables), will be
attained solely through the Career Enhancement/Growth program and will not be
based on length of service.
Employees in every classification covered by this Agreement will be eligible for the
program. Employees are eligible to receive a Career Enhancement/Growth step
any time after they have been at the top automatic step in their pay range for a
minimum of one (1) year. Employees are eligible for the subsequent Career
Enhancement/Growth step beginning one (1) year after receiving the previous
step.
There will be no minimum or maximum number of employees who may receive
Career Enhancement/Growth steps. There will be no minimum or maximum
amount of money the University will spend on the Career Enhancement//Growth
program. Decisions about Career Enhancement/ Growth steps shall be made
within sixty (60) days of supervisory/ managerial/professorial recommendations.
Either employees or managers may initiate the CEGP application process. All
CEGP applications shall be forwarded to the Compensation Office, regardless of
approval or denial. If the application has been denied, the reason for the denial
must be documented.
The Compensation Office tracks CEGP applications, grants, and denials including
at a minimum the job class, department, employee id, the decision to grant or deny,
and the documented reason for any denial. If denied, the employee may appeal
to the decision-maker’s supervisor.
The CEGP application form allows for the inclusion of up to three letters of
recommendation, and record years of experience in the position or field, as well as
years of service with the University in the Statement of Qualifications section. The
union will have access to this information on request.
The Career Enhancement/Growth program will not be a substitute for
reclassifications. Reclassifications will take priority over receiving Career
Enhancement/Growth steps such that if an employee qualifies to receive a Career
Enhancement/Growth step but could otherwise be reclassified, the employee will
be reclassified and will not simultaneously receive the Career
Enhancement/Growth step. Career Enhancement/Growth steps shall be
considered in calculating salary adjustment associated with promotion and upward
reclassification, but in no instance shall a salary in a new position be at a step
85
higher than the top automatic step in the new pay range, except for lateral transfers
where there is no mutual agreement not to exceed the top automatic progression
step in the new pay range.
The University agrees to regularly issue University-wide reminders promoting the
value of this program.
The parties will utilize the JLM committee to review the CEGP program periodically
with the goal to improve standards and accessibility.
The Career Enhancement/Growth program in its entirety is not subject to the
grievance procedure (Article 6).

across all plans, across all tiers.
B. The point-of-service costs of the Classic Uniform Medical Plan (deductible,
out-of-pocket maximums and co-insurance/co-payment) may not be
changed for the purpose of shifting health care costs to plan participants,
but may be changed from the 2014 plan under two (2) circumstances.
1. In ways to support value-based benefits designs; and

multiplied by two thousand eighty-eight (2088).
4. Base salary excludes overtime, shift differential and all other premiums or
payments.

Section who do not otherwise have one. An employee who is eligible for
Employer FSA funds may decline this benefit but cannot receive case in
lieu of this benefit.

that a federal tax that takes into account contributions to a FSA is imposed
on PEBB health plans, this provision will automatically terminate. The
parties agree to meet and negotiate over the termination of this benefit.
E. Eligible employees will be provided information regarding the benefit and
use of the FSA funds at new employee orientation, during open enrollment
periods, and at the beginning of each plan year. The PEB Health Care
Benefits Labor Coalition and Health Care Authority committee will confer

labor dispute or grievance or disputes on personnel matters nor shall the Union
condone or authorize a work stoppage, work slowdown, or any other curtailment
of work in the bargaining units.

picket line at the Employer’s premises in case of an officially declared strike by
some other employee organization or union representing employees working for
the Employer shall not constitute a violation of this clause of the Agreement,

without coercion by either the Employer or the Union and provided further that
nothing herein shall preclude the Employer from continuing to operate the
University with or without temporary replacement personnel.

4) The UW is filling positions when a worker is on a leave-of-absence; or
5) Temporary project.
A nonpermanent appointee must have the skills and abilities required for the position.
B. Intermittent Positions
A. An Intermittent position exists when the nature of the work is sporadic and does not
fit a particular pattern.
B. If an employee in an intermittent appointment has been working a fixed number of
hours every week for a period of at least twelve (12) months, the Employer will convert
the appointment to nonpermanent fixed duration appointment for no more than an
additional six (6) months. If the work is on-going the Employer may also covert the
position to a regular appointment.
60.2 Types of Nonpermanent Positions:
A. Nonpermanent Hourly
B. Nonpermanent Fixed Duration
Employees in Nonpermanent Fixed Duration positions are considered regularly
scheduled and assigned a schedule with a fixed number of working hours in a
workweek. Nonpermanent Fixed Duration positions with varying work days are
considered scheduled.
Employees in Intermittent and Nonpermanent Hourly positions are considered
nonscheduled and are not assigned a fixed schedule or amount of working time in a
workweek.
If at any time during a Nonpermanent Hourly appointment, the employee starts working
a fixed number of hours each work week for multiple weeks in a row, upon request
the appointment designation will change to Nonpermanent Fixed Duration.
60.3 Nonpermanent Hourly and Nonpermanent Fixed Duration Appointments:
A. The initial duration of a Nonpermanent Hourly and Nonpermanent Fixed Duration
appointment cannot exceed twelve (12) months from the hire date but may be extended
98
to no more than twenty-four (24) months if the conditions in 60.1 1-5 still exist.
Individuals may receive consecutive Nonpermanent Fixed Duration or Hourly
appointments as long as any subsequent appointment is to a different position.
B. Conclusion of the appointment will be at the discretion of the University, including
termination of appointment prior to its originally intended expiration date, and will not be
subject to Articles 6 (Grievance Procedure) and Article 38 (Seniority, Layoff, Rehire) of
the contract.
C. If the employee is not a permanent state employee, the employer must give
one work days’ notice prior to conclusion of the appointment. A Nonpermanent
appointment may be terminated immediately with pay in lieu of the one work day
of notice required for Nonpermanent Employees.
D. If at any time during a Nonpermanent appointment, a short-term workload
peak or other short term need becomes ongoing and permanent in nature, the
Employer must take action to fill the position on a permanent basis.
E. Nonpermanent Fixed Duration or Nonpermanent Hourly appointments will not
be made to permanently replace permanent positions that are vacant.
F. Time worked in a Nonpermanent Fixed Duration or Nonpermanent hourly

their probationary period for that position up to a maximum of three (3) months of the six
(6) month probationary period.

MOU SALARY OVERPAYMENT RECOVERY
During negotiations for the 2023-2025 successor agreement, the parties agreed to the
following regarding Salary Overpayment Recovery.
Salary Overpayment Recovery
A. When an Employer has determined that an employee has been overpaid
wages, the Employer may recoup the overpayment. The Employer will provide
written notice to the employee that will include the following items:
1. The amount of the overpayment,
2. The basis for the claim,
3. A demand for payment, and
4. The rights of the employee under the terms of this Agreement.
Employees may request a meeting with the Employer and an interpreter to have
the overpayment notification explained.
B. Method of Payback
1. The employee must choose one (1) of the following options for paying
back the overpayment:
a. Voluntary wage deduction,
b. Cash, or
c. Check (separated employee).
d. Vacation (if under 240 hours only) or Compensatory time
balances
2. The employee may propose a payment schedule to repay the
overpayment to the Employer. If the employee’s proposal is accepted by
the Employer, the deductions shall continue until the overpayment is fully
recouped. Nothing in the section prevents the Employer and employee
from agreeing to a different overpayment amount than specified in the
overpayment notice or to a method other than a deduction from wages for
repayment of the overpayment amount.
3. If the employee fails to choose one (1) of the four (4) options described
above, within twenty (20) days of written notice of overpayment, the
Employer will deduct the overpayment owed from the employee’s wages
or the amount due may be placed with a collection agency. This
overpayment recovery will not be more than five percent (5%) of the
144
employee’s disposable earnings in a pay period. Disposable earnings will
be calculated in accordance with the Attorney General of Washington’s
guidelines for Wage Assignments.
4. Any overpayment amount still outstanding at separation of employment
will be deducted from their final pay.
C. Neither A nor B above are required for employee reported overpayments
and/or employee corrected time including leave submittal corrections. All
employee initiated overpayment corrections may be collected from the next
available pay check.
D. Appeal Rights: Any dispute concerning the occurrence or amount of the
overpayment will be resolved through the grievance procedure in Article 6 of this
Agreement. The Employer will suspend attempts to collect an alleged
overpayment until the grievance process has concluded.

In recognition of the commitment of HMC and UWMC to the delivery of excellent patient
care as well as the enhancement of employees’ professional skills, the Employer will

and UW Medical Center (UWMC) to obtain a degree or certification required for
employment in a healthcare field within the hospital where the employee works.
The parties agree to form two Committees, one at HMC and UWMC, and split the
funding equitably with $75,000 allocated to each medical center. Each Committee will
be comprised of at least one management representative, one member from WFSE and
one member from SEIU at HMC and one member from WFSE and one member from
SEIU at UWMC. The Committee will be established to research the availability of funds
and to recommend the policies and guidelines regarding fund disbursement to the
Administration.
In accordance with the above, the Committee will be in charge of administering
scholarships. To be eligible, the employee must have a minimum of one (1) year at
HMC/UWMC prior to submission of scholarship application. After completion of the
