CITY..OF SAINT PAUL SAINT PAUL FIRE SITPERVISORY ASSOCIATIOI3 � ' i? � '�, � , . �f � n� L�- ��L rf�i'is Labor Relations Director President,. aint Paul Fire Supervisos� Association' � Civil 3ervice Coumiission APPENDIh C State and f ederal reductions in local govertur�ent aid have resulted in a serious gap between projected and actual revenue with which to fun� the 1982 budget for the City of Saint Paul. It has been necesszry, as announced by the Mayor on January 6, 1982, to make permanent personnel reductions affecting numerous city employees as of January 29, I982. It is recognized by the parties to this agreement that effects detri- ' mental to the city and its employees flow from these per�anent personnel reductions. In order to ninimize these detrimental effects, the parties have agreed" to establish an incentive progra� to facilitate reinstate�ent of employees who would have other�aise been without emglayment on January 29, 1982, by encouraging voluntary retirement of city employees whn meet elig3bility requirements. • The parties agree to the incentive program subject to the following specific conditions: 1) The City of Saint Paul shall pay to any member of this . baYgaining unit, who meets the reqnireiaents for voluntary retirem�nt and who agrees to retire within the dates set forth below, an incentive of up to $5,000 provided that such retirement leads in an unbroken causal chain to the =ei,nstatement of an employee who would otherwise be without �ployment on January 29, 1982, as a result of the permanent personnel reductions. - 2 - 2) The incentiv e shall be available to any eligible employee during the period of January 29, 1982, to A�ri1 30, 1982, inclusive. The incentive shall automatically terr:iinate with respect to this bargaining unit prior to April 30, � , 1982, if all employees within this bargaining unit who are affected by the permanent personnel reductions are reinstated. Such termination shall occur the day of the .reinstatement of the last affected employee. � 3) Any employee wishing to take advantage of this incent�.ve must submit his or her request for retirement, along with necessary supporting documents, to his or her appointment officer within the time period mentioned above. - 4� The date of retirement, for purposes of calculating the amount of the incentive, shall be the date the e�gloyee actually retires, not the date that iatent to retire is communic,ated to the appointing officer. If there is a delay between the emplQyee's des3,red reCirement date and the actual retiremen� date, and if such delay is caused by circunstances outside the e.�cployee`s control, the date of retirement, for purposes of calculating the amour.t of the incentive, �hall be the date the employee desired to retire. - 3 - 5) The maximur.i incentive shall be $5,000 and shall be availabe for retirement dates January 2}, 1982 - February 14, 1982, inclusive. Commencing on February 15, 1982, and at the be�inning of business , each Monday thereaf ter and continuing through the term of this program, the amount of the incentive shall be reduced $100. The applicable incentive for � . the inclusive dates shown is illustrated below: � Jarniary 29-February 14 $5,000 Februaxy 15-February 21 $4,900 geburary 22-Feburary 28 $4,800 March 1 March 7 $4,700 March 8-�Iarch 14 $4,600 March 15 March 21 $4,500 March 22 March 28 $4,400 March 29-April 4 $4,300 April 5-April 11 $4,200 April 12-April 18 $4,100 � April 19-April 25 $4,000 April 26-April 30 $3,900 6) Permanent part-time employees who are eligible to retire and meet other incentive program conditions are eligible to take advantage of this incentive in the sane fractior. the position is of a full-time position. - 4 - 7) The City shall pay the incentive to each retiree in a single payment within thirty (3�) days after the date . of retirement. 8) Fmployees will be able to avail themselves of this f incentive within the program dates so long as there is at least one remaining former employee within this � bargaining unit who is without employment because of the permanent personnel reductions. In case more than one potential retiree wishes to avail himself or herself of any remaining available incentive, the xemaining i�centive or incentives shall be made available to potential reCirees on the basis of departmental seniority.
