(1) The employee’s current employment status with the CITY shall be
taken into consideration.
(2) If the employee is selected for a position outside their job family,
they will serve the required 12 month probationary period from the
date of appointment to the new position. Should the probationary
employee be selected to fill a vacancy in a higher rated position
within the same job family, their total initial probationary period will
be fifteen (15) months from their original date of hire with the
CITY. A job family is defined as classifications with promotional
progressions like Parks & Facilities Maintenance I & II, Utility
Serviceperson I & II, and Public Works Maintenance I & II, etc. All
classifications subject to this provision are identified as such in
the wage scale.
Section 3: Employment with the CITY shall be based solely upon competitive examination
at the sole discretion of the CITY.
Section 4: The entire eligibility list shall be certified and appointments made at the CITY’s
discretion per the provisions of NRS 288.
Section 5: The CITY shall provide written notice to the UNION and Chief Steward of all new

be entitled to any health insurance and holiday pay provided for in this Agreement

employment. The CITY agrees that it will not engage in practices that are
designed to prevent temporary employees from completing six (6) consecutive
calendar months of employment.
(a) Temporary employees accepting a regular appointment in the same
classification as the temporary assignment shall be credited with that
temporary time toward completion of their 12 month probationary period. The
temporary time credited shall not exceed six (6) months. Such an employee
will establish CITY seniority per Article 9 of this agreement on the date they
are hired into a regular full-time position.
(b) Probationary full-time, regular part-time and temporary employees who
have worked at least three (3) continuous months with the CITY may
compete for a regular vacancy before an external recruitment. If they
successfully complete testing for a position, they will be placed on a
separate hire list. If a vacancy is not filled through promotion by full-time
employees, the second opportunity for placement will be to hire qualified
probationary full-time, regular part-time and temporary employees into the
regular full-time position. These employees will compete equally for such
full-time positions. If no selection is made from this group, an outside
recruitment will be undertaken.

regular part-time employees who have worked six (6) calendar months may have
their position reclassified as a regular full-time position, without the requirement
to post the associated vacancy for competitive bidding. The mutual agreement to
reclassify a part-time position to a regular full-time position must be in writing and
signed by the City Manager, the Human Resources Director, and a
representative of the UNION who has signature authority on behalf of the
UNION.
ARTICLE 8. NON-DISCRIMINATION
The CITY and the UNION agree to fully comply with all Federal, State or local laws and executive
orders pertaining to non-discrimination and equal employment opportunities.
ARTICLE 9. SENIORITY
Section 1: CITY seniority is continuous service, not broken by dismissal or resignation
without reinstatement, commencing from the date of hire as a regular full-time
employee. CITY seniority shall apply in all cases of choice, such as: shift bids
and vacation. CITY seniority does not apply to overtime opportunities, except that
the initial list will be created in seniority order. It is understood between the CITY
and the UNION that this is not intended to detract from those matters which are
clearly a management right. CITY seniority shall not apply for Materials
Technicians and Public Works Inspectors for shift bids. Classification Seniority as
defined under Section 4 of this Article 9 applies to shift bids for Materials
Technicians and Public Works Inspectors.
(a) If two employees’ dates of hire are the same, the tiebreaker shall be
based on their ranking on the eligibility list from which they were hired.
Should their ranking be identical, alphabetical ranking of last names will be
used.
Section 2: An employee shall not be entitled to seniority rights during their initial probationary
period of employment, with the exception of eligibility Overtime lists and shifts
bids after 90 days of employment, but shall accrue seniority rights thereafter
from the original date of hire.
Section 3: Any period of leave or suspension without pay in excess of thirty (30)
consecutive calendar days shall not be counted in CITY seniority calculations, as
defined under Section 1 of this Article 9, or Classification Seniority calculations, as
defined under Section 4 of this Article 9, and the employee's service and merit
increase eligibility dates shall be adjusted accordingly. The only exceptions to this
rule are periods of leave without pay in excess of thirty (30) days which result from
job related illness, job related injury, military leave, or leave taken under the Family
Medical Leave Act.
Section 4: Article 9, Section 4 only applies to Materials Technicians and Public Works
Inspectors. “Classification Seniority” is defined as the date the employee is assigned
to the classification and will be established for Materials Technicians and Public
Works Inspectors that are subject to multiple shifts within the same work week. If the

Materials Technician and Public Works Inspector classifications become subject to
other than day shift (i.e. night shift or split shift), Classification Seniority dates will be
established before the new shift (s) are established.
(a) If two employees’ Classification Seniority dates are the same, the tiebreaker shall be based
on their CITY seniority. Should their CITY seniority be identical, ranking on the eligibility list
from which they were hired or selected into the position would apply. Should their ranking
be identical, alphabetical ranking of last names will be used.
(b) Once accumulated, Classification Seniority in previously held positions is retained by
employees who promote, demote (either voluntarily or involuntarily) or are reclassified to
another classification within the City. For example: an employee works in a classification for
two (2) years, promotes to a new position and then returns to their previous classification
one (1) year later. The employee’s original two (2) years of Classification Seniority is retained
and they would be placed on the Classification Seniority list reflecting two (2) years of
seniority. However, employees who leave a classification in which they held Classification
Seniority and do not return to that classification before the amount of time equal to the time
spent in the classification will lose their previous Classification Seniority and establish a new
Classification Seniority date. For example: an employee works in a classification for two (2)
years, promotes to a new position and then returns to their previous classification (3) years
later. The employee’s original two (2) years of Classification Seniority is forfeited and they
would be placed on the Classification Seniority list on the date they return. This position
applies to a both voluntary and an involuntary return to a previous classification.
(c) Materials Technicians and Public Works Inspectors who volunteer to work a night or split
shift outside of the annual shift bid process may not invoke Classification Seniority rights for
shift placement until the annual shift bid process or until the Division opens a shift bid to fill
a vacancy.
ARTICLE 10. PROMOTION
Section 1: All promotions shall be subject to a qualifying period of up to six (6) months.
Qualifying periods are not associated with wage increases as defined in Section 5
of the Article.
(a) The CITY reserves the right to extend the qualifying period for an additional
three (3) months. Any extension to the qualifying period will be accompanied
by feedback.
(b) The UNION shall be notified, in writing, of such extensions.
(c) It is understood that an employee currently serving a qualifying period is
eligible to be considered as an in-house applicant for another position within
the Teamsters Bargaining Units.
(d) Any absence in excess of one (1) full workweek shall automatically extend the
qualifying period by a like amount.

(e) In the event of an unsuccessful qualifying period, the employee will be:
i. Placed in a vacancy in their previous classification;
ii. If no vacancy exists in that classification, the employee may be placed
in a vacancy for which they are qualified. The employee will be placed
in the step in the new position that is closest to (but not higher than) the
employee’s rate of pay held in the employee’s former position prior to
their promotion.
iii. If there is no such vacancy, the employee will be assigned work by
management of the position that the employee was promoted into until
that position is subsequently filled. The employee will be placed in the
step in that position that is closest to (but not higher than) the
employee’s rate of pay held in the employee’s former position prior to
their promotion.
iv. If the employee has not secured a new position, the President of
Teamsters Local 14 and the Human Resources Director or designee
will meet to create an appropriate solution.
(f) Should an employee be promoted into a position with a requirement to attain a
certification(s) within a specific timeframe and fails to do so, they may be
removed from that position consistent with the terms of Section 1 (e) above.
Section 2: Insofar as practicable and consistent with the best interest of the CITY, all vacancies
in the Teamsters Bargaining Units shall be filled by promotion from employees within
the Teamsters Bargaining Units who have passed a competitive examination, meet
the minimum qualifications, and are placed on the Eligibility List.
Section 3: Notice of a position opening shall be posted in City Hall and distributed for posting in
each department at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the closing date.
Section 4: In-house promotions shall be determined by competitive examination, as follows:
(a) The testing methods shall be constructed in a manner to ensure job
relatedness as provided by state and federal law, at the discretion of the CITY.
The CITY’s Human Resources Department shall have full responsibility for the
design, development, administration and security of the exam.
(b) The Human Resources Director or designee shall prepare and conduct the
examinations that shall contain questions designed to test for job-related
qualifications. Such tests shall be formulated on a general competitive basis
and shall not be used to facilitate the hiring of any particular individual.
(c) In all examinations, a minimum eligibility rating shall be established by the
Human Resources Director, or designee. Minimum ratings shall also be
established for each part of the test. Candidates shall attain at least a
minimum rating on each part of the test in order to receive a passing grade
or be rated on the remaining parts of the test.

(d) The final rating shall be determined by totaling the earned rating on each part
of the selection process in accordance with the weights established for each
part prior to the date of the examination.
(e) At the conclusion of any examination, an eligibility list will be created consisting
of the names of persons successfully passing the examination, arranged in
order of final ratings received, from the highest passing score to the lowest.
The UNION shall be provided a copy of the eligibility list.
(1) Whenever identical ratings are received, names will be arranged in
order of CITY seniority. If the CITY seniority date is identical, names
will be arranged in alphabetical order.
(f) The entire eligibility list shall be certified and appointments made by the
Department Head or hiring manager from among the top five (5) candidates.
(1) If there are two (2) or less passing scores for a promotional recruitment,
the Department Head or designee will interview the in-house
applicants.
(a) If a selection cannot be made, the Department Head may
interview candidates from an outside eligibility list.
(b) Once a selection is made for the vacancy, those in-house
candidates not selected will be notified in writing.
(2) Promotional eligibility lists shall remain in effect for six (6) months from
the date of certification. Should this list be abolished prior to the
expiration date, those candidates remaining on the list shall be notified.
(g) If a promoted employee desires to return to their previous position, they may do
so if the previous position or a comparable position is vacant. No qualifying
period will be required if the employee returns to the same position. Up to a six
(6) month qualifying period may be required if they do not return to the same
position.
Section 5: Promoted employees will enter the new classification at the wage rate that would give
them a minimum five (5) percent increase in pay. They would remain at that rate of
pay for three (3) months. Upon completion of the initial three (3) month period, the
employee would establish a new annual anniversary date for additional step increases,
if applicable.
(a) Hourly wage rates change at the beginning of a pay period. The completion
of the initial three-month period in a new classification or anniversary dates
that occur in the same classification during the 1
st
week of a pay period will
receive the increase for the entire pay period. The completion of the initial
three-month period in a new classification or anniversary dates that occur in

most favorable to the employee shall apply.
Section 9: Compensatory Time Off: An employee working overtime as stated above, with the
exception of PERS compensable time, may elect to be paid at the rate upon which
the overtime was worked or to receive compensatory time off (“comp time”) in lieu
of overtime, which will be computed at the rate that the overtime was worked. Any
PERS compensable time will be paid at the rate upon which the overtime was
worked.
The accumulation of compensatory time off is a voluntary decision by the employee
and they cannot be required to accumulate compensatory time off rather than be
paid for the overtime worked.
Additional Provisions
(1) PERS-eligible compensation cannot be converted to compensatory time
off with the exception of provision 7.
(2) Comp time is accumulated based on the overtime rate being paid for the
time worked.
(a) Work 9.5 hours at time and a half = 14.25 hours of comp time.
(b) Work 9.5 hours at double time = 19.00 hours of comp time.
(3) Comp time is used on an hour-for-hour or partial hour basis.
(a) Take off a 9.5 hour shift = 9.5 hours of comp time required.
(b) Comp time can be used in quarter of an hour increments.
(4) Comp time will accumulate for the fiscal year, to the maximum allowed by
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is currently 240 hours. If it is
not used during that time, it will automatically be paid out in its entirety, on
the last payday in the month of June, regardless of when the overtime
was worked.
(5) An employee cannot accumulate comp time if the overtime worked is
being paid at an out-of-class rate.
(6) The use of comp time will not be granted if it results in the need for
overtime staffing.
(7) An employee may accumulate comp time for the double time portion of
a PERS compensable holiday worked.
(8) An employee cannot accumulate comp time for the holiday pay portion of
a holiday worked.

employees working these schedules.
(1) Graveyard shift employees referenced in Section 5 (a) above will record
their full shift hours on the day that the majority of their hours fall. For
example, employees working a graveyard shift schedule that begins on
Sunday night and more than fifty percent (50%) of their shift hours fall
after 12:01 AM Monday, they will record their entire shift hours on
Monday and follow that process for the remainder of the work week.
(2) Should an employee be paid holiday pay per Section 5 (a) and either
be scheduled to work or be off on that holiday’s contractually observed
day of the week, per Section 2, that employee would not be eligible for
any further monetary compensation and will code that day as a normal
workday or a normal day off.

period from the actual beginning of their graveyard shift to the same time
the next day.
(c) Graveyard shift employees will record their full shift hours on the day that
the majority of their hours fall. For example, employees working a
graveyard shift schedule that begins on Sunday night and more than fifty
percent (50%) of their shift hours fall after 12:01 AM Monday, they will
record their entire shift hours on Monday and follow that process for the
remainder of the work week.
(d) An employee cannot request vacation or sick leave on the day(s) they will
receive holiday pay.
Section 6: Employees working the 3/12 schedule will receive 9.5 hours of holiday pay for each

(b) 2.5 hours REG
(c) 9.5 hours H2 (9.5 hours HOT2 for non-Nevada PERS holiday)
(d) 2.5 hours HCP (2.5 HC for non-Nevada PERS holiday)
This will provide for double time plus holiday pay for 9.5 hours and double time for
the remaining 2.5 hours of their regular twelve (12) hour shift on a holiday. This also
provides for twelve (12) hours of Nevada PERS-eligible premium pay for working
the holiday.
Graveyard shift employees will record their full shift hours on the day that the
majority of their hours fall. For example, employees working a graveyard shift
schedule that begins on Sunday night and more than fifty percent (50%) of their
shift hours fall after 12:01 AM Monday, they will record their entire shift hours on
Monday and follow that process for the remainder of the work week.
In this example, if the designated holiday is a Monday, the employee would record
9.5 hours of banked holiday (HBE) for Monday, as this is their scheduled day off. If
the designated holiday is Tuesday, the 9.5 hour employee would record 9.5 hours
of H and 9.5 hours of H2. The 3/12 employee would record their time as follows:
(a) 9.5 hours H
(b) 2.5 hours REG
(c) 9.5 hours H2 (9.5 hours HOT2 for non-Nevada PERS holiday)
(d) 2.5 hours HCP (2.5 HC for non-Nevada PERS holiday)
This will provide for double time plus holiday pay for 9.5 hours and double time for
the remaining 2.5 hours of their regular 12 hour shift on a holiday. This also

Reduction In Force, and the manner in which it is executed, applies to all Teamster represented
positions only. Employees who have worked in any of the collective bargaining agreements between
Teamsters Local 14 and the CITY, retain seniority and reduction in force rights for previously
held positions within those Contracts. City of Henderson employees working outside of these
Contracts have no seniority rights to return to a previously held position within these Contracts.
Section 1: A Reduction In Force may take place upon approval of the City Council and is
defined as any involuntary separation wherein management eliminates a position.
(a) The CITY may eliminate any position.
(b) Notice of at least thirty (30) calendar days will be given to employees whose
positions are reduced through a Reduction In Force. In lieu of notice, an
equivalent amount of salary, based on the employee’s regular work
schedule, will be paid to the employee.
Section 2: When a position is reduced and/or a Reduction In Force takes place, the
following procedure will apply:
(a) All temporary and regular part-time would be laid off first. Employees that
are serving the twelve (12) month probationary status within the
classification that is to be reduced shall be laid off next. Should a
probationary employee be laid off for a period of time longer than they
worked for the City and are subsequently rehired, they will be required to
serve a full 12 month probationary period. If rehired before that timeframe,

they will be given previous credit towards the completion of their
probationary period.
(b) Regular employees whose positions are reduced shall be permitted to
exercise their CITY seniority to move laterally or downward to a position
which they previously held within the CITY.
(c) Regular employees who, as a result of a Reduction In Force, are placed
into previously held classification may be subject to a training period of up
to six (6) months. Should the employee be unable to safely and effectively
perform the work of this classification, the Human Resource Director and
President of Teamsters Local 14 will meet to negotiate an appropriate
solution.
(d) Regular employees who are not placed in other positions may elect to
accept the Reduction In Force or pursue displacement procedures.
(e) Displacement procedures will take place in the following order:
(1) Once a position within a classification has been identified for
elimination within a department, the least senior employee in that
position within the department will be first to be displaced.
(2) The displaced employee will, in turn, displace the least senior
employee in the classification working in another department.
(3) If there are no other positions within the classification, the regular
employee whose position has been reduced will displace the least
senior employee in any equal or lower paying position previously held
by that regular employee or be placed in a vacancy in the highest
paid position available that the employee previously held.
(4) An employee who has been displaced as a result of this procedure
will have the same rights under Section 2(e)(3) as the employee
whose position was initially reduced.
(5) If the displaced employee does not meet the requirements of the
previously held classification due to changes in the classification or
employee qualifications, or if the classification no longer exists, the
employee’s qualifications will be reviewed by the Human Resources
Director or designee to determine if there are other placement
options within the CITY.
(6) Employee(s) who exercise their seniority rights to return to a
previously held position will be paid at the top rate for that position.
The change to the employee’s rate of pay will occur at the beginning
of the 1
st
full pay period in the previously held position.
(7) Employee with seniority rights to a previously held position(s) may
waive this right and volunteer for layoff from the reduced
classification. The employee would be placed on the Reduction in

Force Eligibility List and subject to recall to vacancies in that
classification only.
Section 3: Return to Former Classification Lists: If an employee(s) is involuntarily reduced
from their classification and working for the City in an equal or lower paying position,
they will be recalled to their previous classification by City seniority. Such employees
will return to the Step in the wage schedule they held when they were initially
reduced from that classification and be given credit for previous time spent at that
Step of the wage schedule.
Section 4: Reduction In Force Eligibility Lists: If all displacement options have been
exhausted, employees will be placed on a Reduction in Force Eligibility List for all
classifications within the CITY for Teamster represented positions. Employees will
remain on the Reduction in Force Eligibility List for those classifications for a period
of three (3) years, or a period equal to their length of employment, whichever is
less.
(a) The Reduction In Force Eligibility Lists will have precedence over all other
Eligibility Lists.
(b) Displaced employees on Reduction In Force Eligibility Lists will be
considered eligible for in-house recruitment within the CITY for a period of
three (3) years, or a period equal to their length of employment, whichever
is less.
(c) If more than one employee is placed on the Reduction In Force Eligibility
List, the employees will be ranked by CITY seniority. The employee with the
most CITY seniority will have the first option when a Teamster represented
position becomes available that the individual qualifies for as determined by
the Human Resources Director or designee.
(d) An employee who is placed in a position they have not previously held from
such a Reduction In Force Eligibility List will be required to serve a qualifying
period once the Human Resources Director or designee certifies the
employee’s qualifications. An employee who is placed in a position they
have previously held from such a Reduction In Force Eligibility List will not
be required to serve a qualifying period once the Human Resources Director
or designee certifies the employee’s qualifications. The employee would be
placed at the highest Step of the wage schedule in a previously held
position or at the entry level of pay if they have never held the position.
(e) City seniority does not accrue during the period of layoff. If recalled before
the expiration of the timeframes in Section 4 (b), the employee would
establish a new seniority date reflecting their previous service and
subsequent benefit accruals will reflect their newly adjusted seniority date.
If an employee is not recalled per the provision of Section 4 (b) and is
subsequently rehired, they would be considered a new hire for City seniority
and benefit purposes.
(f) Upon acceptance of a position, the employee’s name will be removed from

Henderson Police Department Addendum (Blue Collar)
This addendum contains terms and conditions specific to Teamster Local 14 represented
positions within the Henderson Police Department. All contract language that is not explicitly
modified in this addendum remains intact and valid for such employees.
ARTICLE 6. Clothing and Personal Effects
Section 2:
f. It is understood by and between the parties that, in lieu of the clothing
allowance, Central Control Room Operators and Detention Center
Technicians will be provided with 4 polo shirts annually.
g. For employees of the Communications Bureau and Henderson
Detention Center, leather tennis/gym shoes or other similar footwear
with non-skid soles may be worn with approval by the supervisor.
h. It is understood that when Communication Bureau or Henderson
Detention Center employees need to attend a public event or an internal
event (i.e., training, Henderson Huddle, etc) in a professional capacity,
business casual attire is required.
ARTICLE 9. SENIORITY
Section 1: CITY seniority is continuous service, not broken by dismissal or resignation
without reinstatement, commencing from the date of hire as a regular full-time
employee. CITY seniority shall apply for vacation bids. It is understood between
the CITY and the UNION that this is not intended to detract from those matters
which are clearly a management right.
(a) If two employees’ dates of hire are the same, the tiebreaker shall be
based on their ranking on the eligibility list from which they were hired.
Should their ranking be identical, alphabetical ranking of last names will
be used.
Section 2: Classification seniority will be established for positions within the Henderson
Police Department that are subject to multiple shifts within the same work day. If
a classification becomes subject to shifts other than day shift, classification
seniority dates will be established before the new shift(s) are established.
Classification seniority will be used for shift bids and overtime selection.
Classification seniority is the date the employee is assigned to the position as a
full-time employee.
(a) If two employees’ classification seniority dates are the same, the
tiebreaker shall be based on their ranking on the eligibility list from which
they were hired or selected into the position. Should their ranking be
identical, CITY seniority would apply and if CITY seniority is not applicable
or is the same date for multiple employees, the alphabetical ranking of

last names will be used.
Section 3: Once accumulated, classification seniority in previously held positions is retained
by employees who promote, demote (either voluntarily or involuntarily) or are
reclassified to another classification within the CITY. For example; an employee
works in a classification for two (2) years, promotes to a new position and then
returns to their previous classification one (1) year later. The employee’s original
two (2) years of classification seniority is retained and they would be placed on
the classification seniority list reflecting two (2) years of seniority. However, if an
employee leaves a classification in which the held classification seniority and do
not return to that classification before the amount of time equal to the time spent
in the classification, they will lose their previous classification seniority and
establish a new classification seniority date. For example: an employee works in
a classification for two (2) years, promotes to a new position and then returns to
their previous classification three (3) years later. The employee’s original two (2)
years of classification seniority is forfeited and they would be placed on the
classification seniority list on the date they return. This provision applies to a
both voluntary and an involuntary return to a previous classification.
No classification seniority accrues when working out-of-class in a higher
classification on a temporary basis or when regularly assigned to a different
classification through promotion, demotion or reclassification.
ARTICLE 10. PROMOTION
Section 1: All promotions shall be subject to a qualifying period of up to six (6) months. The
qualifying period does not begin until the employee has been released from the
formalized training program for the classification. Employees will be notified in
writing that their training program has been completed and the date their qualifying
period begins. A competency and experience-based promotional progression has
been developed for the Crime Scene Technician/Analyst classifications and
movement to higher paid classifications will be accomplished without CITY-wide
bidding.
ARTICLE 12. LUNCH AND REST PERIODS
Section 1: Each employee shall be granted one-half (1/2) hour for lunch, and such time shall
be allowed to the extent possible after four and one-half (4-1/2) hours from the
beginning of the regular shift and before the end of six (6) hours from the beginning
of the regular shift.
(a) Crime Scene Unit will be allowed two (2) fifteen (15) minute breaks and a
thirty (30) minute unpaid lunch.
ARTICLE 15. OVERTIME, CALL-OUT, CALL-BACK, RECOVERY TIME AND STANDBY
PAY
Section 2: The definition of call-out for employees working in seven day/twenty four hour
operations within the Police Department is amended to require forty-eight (48)
hours notice. This includes the Crime Scene Analyst classification.

ARTICLE 18 SICK LEAVE
Section 1: Employees assigned to 12 hours shifts of 3 days in one work week and 4 days in
the following work week will accrue 12 hours of sick leave each month.
ARTICLE 24: EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND DISCIPLINE
Section 5: Discipline and Disciplinary Procedure: Discipline can be administered in
accordance with Article 24 for any violation of any provision of this Labor Agreement.
The CITY is committed to utilize disciplinary actions as a means to change and
correct behavior, rather than as a form of punishment or embarrassment. The
CITY will normally apply discipline progressively, and both parties acknowledge that
there will be times when non-progressive discipline, up to termination, may be
warranted.
Should the CITY initiate an investigation of alleged employee misconduct; the
investigation will be completed along with any disciplinary recommendation, within
fourteen (14) calendar days of the initial employee interview. Should
circumstances preclude compliance with this timeframe, the Employee Relations
Manager will notify Local 14 and provide an estimate for completing the
investigation. If there is a disciplinary recommendation of suspension, demotion
or termination, the required hearing with the City Manager or designee may occur
after this fourteen (14) day period.
Investigations of alleged misconduct or performance deficiencies for employees
working within the Henderson Police Department will normally be conducted jointly
by Employee Relations and the management of the Police Department. There will
be isolated situations where investigations will be conducted jointly by the Internal
Affairs Bureau and Employee Relations. Should such an investigation be initiated,
the leadership of Teamsters Local 14 will be advised of the nature and extent of
this investigation. Such joint investigation will be conducted under the same
framework of due process and just cause as would occur for any other employee
working outside the Police Department.

Classification and Compensations Review - EXHIBIT B
The parties have agreed to collaboratively complete a review of the current job content
(classification) and market rates of pay (compensation) for the positions covered by these
agreements. Local 14 will identify a Co-Chairman of the working committee and will identify two
(2) members of each contract group to participate in this review. The City’s Human Resources
Director and identified staff from Human Resources and the operating units within the City will
complete the committee. The Committee may be assisted by external consultants and will:
Agree on the “like jurisdictions” that will be used for the review. It should be understood
from the onset that certain departments or areas of the City will have different comparators
to ensure the breadth of the data collected. Specifically, the positions within the
Department of Utility Services will be compared to other organizations that perform
similar utility work and many cities do not operate their own utility.
Ensure that current work responsibilities are accurately reflected in new job descriptions.
Ensure that market data that is gathered is an “apple-to-apple” comparison to the City’s
positions.
Use the market data to create a new wage structure for the three (3) contract groups.
Work collaboratively to implement any changes that the parties agree to in future
negotiations.
The City acknowledges that the implementation of the study results are mandatory subjects of
bargaining as defined in NRS 288 and to that end, the parties have agreed that should current
positions be determined to be above market compensation, those individuals would have their
hourly pay frozen or “redlined” and they would not be subject to a reduction in their hourly rate.
The working Committee will provide joint communications to all covered employees during the
review process.

CPI for preceding full calendar year (Annual column) = 159.756
Less CPI for previous preceding full calendar year (Annual column) = 157.019
Equals index point change = 2.737
Divided by previous preceding full calendar year (2.727/157.019) = 0.0174
Result multiplied by 100 = 1.74%
*In this example, the base wage increase would be 2.25% per the minimum in Article 4, Section 2.

City of Henderson and Teamsters Local 14
Chief Shop Steward (“CSS”)
With an interest in efficient, collaborative labor relations interaction between the City and the
Union, the Parties are equally committed to the successful utilization of the Chief Shop
Steward ("CSS") position. The assignment to the “CSS” position will be at the sole discretion
of the Secretary/Treasurer of Teamsters Local 14 and the “CSS” will be classified as an
exempt employee within the City of Henderson and Local 14 Supervisors Agreement. The
“CSS” will be responsible to manage their schedule and daily activities and will inform the HR
Director or designee of all vacation and sick leave requests.
Article 29, Section 6 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement states that the “City and
Teamsters Local 14 have reached agreement to create a Union Liaison position and Local 14
will designate who will occupy this full-time position. The details of this agreement are
contained in the associated Memorandum of Agreement.” This language is intended to
implement Article 29, Section 6.
The City and Teamsters agree to the following terms regarding the position of “CSS":
1. The City agrees to provide the “CSS” with appropriate office space and computer
equipment, access to the City's email system and a dedicated email address to
facilitate the overall effectiveness of this position. Emails sent through the City email
system are subject to public records and are the City’s records. If Teamsters
desires to have a confidential communication, the City’s email system should not be
used.
2. The CSS will be eligible for annual safety shoe voucher program (set forth in Article
6, Section 2(b)) in order to allow for the CSS to safely and effectively in visit all
members at their work sites.
3. Effective retroactively to July 1, 2021, the City will compensate the “CSS” at the top
rate consistent with the top of the highest wage scale represented by the Union. At
this current time the compensation would be Step 4 of Range 516 of the Teamsters
Supervisors’ Collective Bargaining Agreement.
4. Should the “CSS” assignment end for the incumbent, the incumbent will be
reassigned as follows:
(a) The employee shall be returned to their former classification at the highest Pay
Grade in that classification and the same Step for which they were compensated as
the “CSS.”
(b) If the employee’s former classification is not available, the City will review all other
Teamster vacancies for which the employee is qualified to perform, and offer the
employee the vacant position that is closest in wages to the employee’s former
classification. The employee will be placed in the Step that brings their wages
closest to the Pay Grade and Step they were earning in their former classification.

acceptable resolution and the employee shall be placed on administrative leave
earning their former classification pay until, for example, a vacancy opens up for
which they are qualified.

the “CSS” upon the incumbent’s return to his or her former classification and will
be provided with an appropriate amount of time, as determined by the supervisor,
