MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL .
AND
AFSCME LOCAL 1842
�--1.�5
The City of Saint Paul (hereinafter "City") and AFSCME Local 1842 (hereinafter "Union") enter
into this Memorandum of Agreement (hereinafter "MOA") for the purpose of providing health
insurance benefits to those part time Library employees who move from working less than 64 hrs
bi-weekly to working at least 64 hrs bi-weekly as part-time Library Associates.
For Library employees aiready working at the Librazy who accept a 64- hour/pp (.8 fte) Library
Associate position, health caze benefits will be awazded in the same manner as new-hires in such
Library Associate positions, with the following caveats:
1) Part-time Library Associates qualifying through this MOU will work no fewer than 64 hours
a pay period. They must use earned sick leave or vacation to cover any hours that fall below that
threshold. If they do not have sufficient sick leave or vacation to cover their absence, they must
take a leave of absence without pay and without earning pro-rated benefits on the leave of
absence hours. Leave of Absence No Pay shall not occur in more than two pay periods per
payroll year. Doing so will result in loss of the .8 Library Associate position and reduction to .5
insurance coverage level at the beginning of the next month's insurance period.
2) A Library Associate in a.8 LAPT position who wishes to reduce hours may leave the .8
position at his/her request and will immediately reduce to a.5 insurance coverage level at the
beginning of the next month's insurance period. After leaving a.8 position, s/he must wait a year
to apply for another such position.
3) This change will be treated as a pilot program for two years and at the end of that time both
parties shall review whether it is successful in meeting the needs of a11 parties involved.
No precedent is established by this MOA and it sha11 not be referenced by either party in future
dealings.
