Jefferson County Public Employees - Tentative agreement reached!
/
After three bargaining sessions we have reached a tentative agreement with the county!
This recommended agreement includes:
Significant raises and improvements to the structure of the wage scale.
Conversion to a paid time off system with greater flexibility of use, a larger carry-over of hours year-to-year, and the addition of a catastrophic sick leave bank.
Expansion of longevity bonuses to include workers with 30, 35, 40, and 45 years of service.
Inclusion of grandparents and grandchildren in bereavement leave in the event of the loss of a family member.
Notice of the date and time of the contract ratification vote will be forthcoming shortly.
“We feel this is a damn excellent deal!”
