It will be incumbent upon the Deputy to provide rece i p t o f p a y m e n t for the MCOLES pretest to the proper authority for re i m b u r s e m e n t . Scheduling Leave Shift and Leave Day Exchanges will be permitt e d u n d e r t h e following conditions. Unless exigent circumstances ex i s t , a r e q u e s t for shift/leave day exchange shall be submitted at l e a s t 7 2 h o u r s prior to the exchange taking place. Shift exchanges m a y b e f o r a l l or any part of a shift, provided it is at the beginning or end of a shift Trades shall be limited to Deputies whose classifications are the same. There shall be no cross-divisional trades allowed except at management's discretion. As a minimum, one exchange per shift will be allowed. Any Deputy who fails to work their portion of a leave day exchange shall have that amount of hours deducted from their leave banks, and will be charged an "ill" day on their synopsis sheet. Further that Deputy shall be prohibited from participating in a shift/leave day exchange for a period of one year from the date of the infraction. Overtime If there are sufficient volunteers under the above provisions the Employer shall than order Deputies employed in Corrections Services/Main and Corrections Services Satellites to work overtime to fill positions that are normally authorized and staffed on a full- time basis, by reverse seniority. Lists of forced overtime shall be maintained within each Division. The lists shall be continuous by seniority and ordered overtime, and will start over at each shift and/or location selection. Forced overtime shall be equalized to the fullest extent practicable. Once the force list is exhausted, the following order of forcing will be used. Forcing to Circuit Court: Deputies not going into their weekend assigned to the Circuit/District. If insufficient staff still exists, then Deputies assigned to the Enex, not going into their weekend will be forced. The Deputies assigned to the Annex not going into their weekend, and finally Deputies assigned to the Main Jail not going into their weekends. Once all these have been exhausted the order will repeat itself with Deputies going into their weekend. If there are still vacancies that need to be filled then the force shall go to the Patrol Services division starting with Deputies not going on their weekend. If a vacancy still exists after this, then the process will start over with Deputies assigned to Circuit Court/District Court with vacation the next day. Allow Sheriff's Office to assign staff within Main, Annex and Visitation on a day to day basis, as needed, but keep the locations separate for bump purposes. C. When hiring overtime off the 28 day list, should a Deputy be contacted eight hours or less before the beginning of a shift and refuse the overtime, it shall not be recorded as a "REFUSAL". Should a Deputy be contacted more than eight hours prior to the beginning of a shift and refuse to work the o v e r t i m e i t w i l l b e recorded as a "REFUSAL" and count as a "HI R E " .

This MOU is based on the following facts. A. Michigan enacted a Right to Work Act effective in March 2013. There has been considerable litigation concerning the effect and meaning of this Act.

C. Article III C of the Labor Contract between the parties, provides that the employees in this bargaining unit can only cancel their union dues deduction between December 16 and December 31 of any calendar year.

I. Drug Use Prohibitions No Employee shall: A.

D. Refuse to sign a consent or release form authorizing the collection of a specimen for analysis, and the release of the results to the County. E. Refuse to cooperate with the collection site personnel, County personnel, or in any way to refuse to provide a specimen when required. F.

Return to Work: Testing an employee who has been off work for over four months. 4. Random: Random testing of all employees in the bargaining unit as determined by computer lottery selection or other such method. 5.

Follow-up: Testing as part of counseling or rehabilitation. 57 7. The drug tests set forth in numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be scheduled while the employee is at work. B. Orders for testing will come from the Sheriff of the Sheriff's designee. C. An employee who refuses to submit to a drug test in accordance with this Policy shall be permanently removed from County service except for good cause that is based on reasonable objective criteria. III. Procedures for Obtaining the Sample Specimen: Procedures shall provide for individual privacy, while safeguarding the program against submissions of altered or substitute specimens. A. Completion of Testing form: 1. The employee may be asked by the collection facility to furnish information in writing to insure the integrity of the specimen collected, including information verifying the identity of the employee and, if possible, identifying any prescription or nonprescription medication recently ingested by the employee, 2.

The employee shall be witnessed while providing a specimen. The employee may be instructed to wash and dry his or her hands prior to submitting the required specimen. The volume of the specimen must be at least 30 milliliters for the screening test and confirmation test. The employee may be given a reasonable amount of liquid (e.g., a glass of water) to assist in producing an adequate specimen. Site personnel shall determine if the specimen contains at least 30 milliliters of urine. 3. A second test may be requested only if the first specimen is suspect because of adulteration or not a genuine sample. The employee will not be unreasonably delayed. W. Laboratory Testing Procedure Regarding Specimens: 1. Laboratories must comply with applicable provisions of any Federal and State licensing requirements. Accredited laboratories must have the facilities and capability, of performing screening and confirmation tests for each drug or metabolite for which service is offered and requested.
