TEMPORARY UPGRADE
12 IBEW 4/4/97 to 7/20/00
20.1 Temporary upgrading shall be defined as the temporary assignment of an
employee to work in a job class which is assigned to a salary schedule higher than
his regular job class.
20.2 Employees temporarily upgraded to certain job classes shall be compensated at the
lowest step in the higher salary schedule that will provide a premium of not less
than 4.0% of the employee's regular hourly rate of pay for each hour worked in the
higher job class during normal working hours if they are assigned to work in the
higher job class for a minimum of two (2) hours of each day. Employees
temporarily upgraded to job classes during other than normal working hours shall be
compensated at the lowest step on the higher salary schedule that will provide an
upgrade premium of not less than 4.0% of the employee's regular hourly rate of pay
for all time worked in the higher job class. The "E" step in the higher salary
schedule shall be the maximum upgrade premium when the "E" step of the higher

of pay.

classifications in order to avoid the necessity of working an employee at a higher
rated job classification.
20.8 An employee must be qualified for the higher position in order to be paid for
upgrading. If not fully qualified, his time will be considered on-the-job training. The
determination of those persons qualified to work in higher rated classifications shall
be established by ANAHEIM. It is intended by both parties that lists of employees
qualified for temporary upgrading shall be established and that employees selected
to work temporarily at a higher rated job classification shall be selected from said
lists. Assignments to higher rated classifications shall be made from lists at the sole
discretion of ANAHEIM, except as provided below:
20.81 When a lead or supervisory position on a utility field crew is to be filled by

occupation qualification.

ANAHEIM and UNION shall be borne equally by ANAHEIM and UNION.
61.5 ANAHEIM and UNION agree that awards of back pay as a result of a successful

employment when such employment was obtained prior to the disciplinary action,
in accordance with ARTICLE 26 and to the extent that the earnings from such
employment remained constant during the employee's absence from work.
61.6 Employee grievances submitted by UNION to ANAHEIM shall be handled in the
following manner:
61.61 First Step. An attempt shall be made to adjust all grievances on an
informal basis between the employee, his or her UNION representative,
and a supervisor in the employee's chain of command, up to and including
his or her division head, within ten (10) working days after the occurrence
of the incident involved in the grievance. The division head shall deliver
his or her answer within ten (10) working days after conducting the Step I
meeting. Grievances resulting from the actions of a department other than
an employee's work unit shall be heard by an appropriate Administrative
Manager from that department.
61.62 Second Step. If the grievance is not adjusted to the satisfaction of the
UNION in the First Step, it shall be submitted in writing to the employee's
department head or his designated representative within ten (10) working
days after the Step One answer is received by UNION. The department
head or his designated representative shall meet with the employee and
his or her UNION representative within ten (10) working days after
submission of the grievance to him. The department head or his
designated representative shall review the grievance and may affirm,
reverse, or modify as deemed appropriate, the disposition made at the
First Step and the Second Step answer shall be delivered to the UNION
within ten (ten) working days after said meeting.
61.63 Third Step. If the UNION is not satisfied with the answer to the Second
Step, it shall be submitted to an impartial arbitrator for a final and binding
decision (or, if the Anaheim City Manager and the UNION agree, it shall be
submitted to the Anaheim City Manager for a final and binding decision.)
Such submission must occur within thirty (30) days after the Second Step
answer is received.
61.64 If submitted to the City Manager, the City Manager or his assistant shall
meet with the employee and his or her UNION representative within ten
(10) working days after submission of the grievance to him. The City
Manager or his assistant may affirm, reverse, or modify as deemed
49 IBEW 4/4/97 to 7/20/00
appropriate, the disposition made at the Second Step. The City Manager
or his assistant shall deliver his or her decision to the-UNION within ten
(10) working days after said meeting, and such decision shall be final and
binding on both parties.
61.7 In order to proceed to arbitration, either ANAHEIM or UNION shall serve written
notice to the other party specifying the grievance to be submitted.
61.71 Such written notice must be submitted no later than thirty (30) calendar days
after the Step Two answer is received by the other party.
61.72 ANAHEIM and UNION shall thereafter attempt to resolve the issue and
select an impartial arbitrator. If an arbitrator cannot be agreed upon,
ANAHEIM and UNION shall request a panel from the American Arbitration
Association or any other mutually agreed upon provider. If ANAHEIM
and/or UNION fail(s) to submit jointly, or separately, the issue to the
agreed upon arbitrator, the American Arbitration Association or any other
mutually agreed upon provider within thirty (30) calendar days after the
written notice to proceed to arbitration is received, then either ANAHEIM or
UNION may take action to compel arbitration. Failure to take action to
compel arbitration within sixty (60) calendar days after written notice to the
other party specifying the grievance to be submitted will conclusively be
deemed abandonment of the right to compel arbitration.
61.8 The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on both parties, it being agreed
that the arbitrator shall have no powers to add to or subtract from, nor to modify
any of the terms of any memorandum of understanding between ANAHEIM and
the UNION and that the arbitrator's award shall be consistent with and controlled
by this agreement, the Ordinances and Charter of the City of Anaheim, and the
laws and Constitution of the State of California.
61.9 The arbitrator will be requested by the parties to render his decision in writing as
quickly as possible but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the
conclusion of the hearings, unless the parties agree otherwise.
61.10 Any grievance not presented and/or carried forward by the UNION within the time
limits specified in this Article shall be deemed null and void, provided, however,
UNION and ANAHEIM may agree to continue said time limits.
61.101 Any First Step or Second Step answer not provided by CITY to UNION
within the time limits specified in ARTICLES 61.61 and 61.62 above shall
be deemed a waiver by CITY of Step One or Step Two of the grievance
process, however UNION and ANAHEIM may agree to continue said time
limits. Upon waiver by CITY of Step One or Step Two, the UNION may
submit the grievance for consideration at the next step.
61.11 Any adoption, deletion, or revision of ANAHEIM policy as may be suggested or
recommended by any employee or employee organization shall not be considered
to be a matter subject to review through the grievance procedure.
61.12 An employee who has been suspended, demoted, or dismissed may be reinstated
to his position as a result of a successful appeal through the grievance procedure.
50 IBEW 4/4/97 to 7/20/00
In the event of such reinstatement, the employee shall be returned to his former
status of employment, including reinstatement of seniority and accrued fringe
benefits. In such cases, the City Manager may order the payment of back pay to a
reinstated employee in any amount up to payment for the full period of time
involved. In implementing an arbitrator's award, the City Manager shall order the
payment of back pay to a reinstated employee in the amount provided in the
arbitrator's award. It shall be conclusively presumed that there is no award of back
pay to a reinstated employee unless specifically set forth in the written order of the
City Manager. Any earnings of the reinstated employee from other employment
during his period of suspension shall be deducted from the amount of back pay
ordered by the City Manager.
