It is believed thal the iTirit and intent of the Tuition Reimbursement
It pr os is to enahl( employees to improve their ability to perform their
ctitr,n1 position or to assist them to qualify for higher It positions.
The program has been liberally interpreted and reimbursement made for
leading to undergraduate and advanced degrees. Because the
proeram is not specific on this. point, some employees believe they should
he r,i -obtw;cd for training beyond the Doctorri ievel. Inaiiittich as there
is no position in the County that requires course work beyond the Doctoral
level, reimbursement under this program seems an excessive expenditure
of County funds and not within the purview of the Tuition Reimbursement
Program. If conferences, seminars and other post-doctoral training and
educational programs are desirable, they should properly be a departmental
expense in the travel and conference category of the budget and subject to
the usual budgetary controls.

AWARD
This compulsory arbitration proceeding was conducted in accordance with Michigan's Compulsory
Arbitration Law, Act 312, M.C.L.A. 423.239: M.S.A. 17.455. A preliminary meeting was followed by a
hearing on May 15, 1975, wherein the parties set forth the issues in dispute. It was agreed at that
time that arguments and supporting evidence would be submitted to the Panel by brief. Thrs was done,
and, in the course of proceedings, the parties were able to reach accord on the withdrawal of certain
issues and settlement of others. What follows is the Panel's Award as to all disputed matters.
1. TERM OF CONTRACT - The contract term shall commence January 1, 1975 and extend for a
period of three years, terminating on December 31, 1977; provided, however, that the Wages set forth
herein shall be effective as to the first two years of the Agreement. As to Wages only, there shall
be a re-opener for the final year of the Agreement.
2. WAGES - The following wage award is applicable to Patrol Officer, Corrections Officer
and Identification Technician I and is retroactive to January 1, 1975. Effective January 1, 1975 the
base wage shall be $13,700. The maximum wage shall be $15,900. As of January 1, 1976 the base wage
shall be $14,600 and the maximum wage $16,800.
3. DETENTION OFFICER RATE - Retroactive to January 1, 1975 the Detention Officer rate shall
be $10,2000 at the minimum extending to a maximum of $12,800. Effective January 1, 1976, the base rate
shall be $10,825 and the maximum rate $13,625. As the classification of Detention Officer I, Medical
Detention Officer and the Detention Officer II are now incorporated in the one classification of
Detention Officer, employees in the deleted classification will be reclassified as follows: Effective
January 1, 1975 employees in the old classification of Detention Officer 1 and Medical Detention
Officer who are at the base step will be placed at the base step of Detention Officer; those in the
old classification of Detention Officer 1, Medical Offices at the one year step will be placed at the
one year step of Detention Officer; those in the old classification of Detention Officer II at the base
step will be placed at the two year step of Detention Officer; those in the old classification of
Detention Officer II at the one year step will be placed in the three year step of Detention Officer.
Effective January 1, 1976 all employees shall be scheduled to advance to the next annual step of
Detention Officer. In addition, while performing the functions of a Medical Detention Officer, employe(
In the class of Detention Officer will receive a bi-weekly bonus at the rate of $500.00 annually.
4. IDENTIFICATION TECHNICIAN II - This classification shall be compensated at a rate of $500
over the top Patrol salary.
5. PATROL OFFICER TRAINEE - The starting rate of a Patrol Officer Trainee shall be $12,200,
retroactive to January 1, 1975 and $12,500 effective January I, 1976. Trainees may achieve the base
Patrol rate no sooner than six months after entering the classification. If such rate is not granted
at that time, the individual will be informed as to the reasons underlying the denial. Provided,
however, that such rate shall be granted no later than one year after entering the classification. It
is further provided that, without regard to when the base Patrol Officer rate is actually granted, the
individual shall receive thy one year Patrol Officer rate on the first anniversary following completion
of the probationary period.
'Conceivably, therefore, the individual achieving the starting Patrol Officer rate one year
after entering the Trainee classification would achieve the one year Patrol Officer rate six ,,onths
later, or eighteen months after entering the Trainee classification. The panel makes this award
recognition of the fact that the Employer should reasonably have more than six months to evaluate the
new officer. To this end, some discretion is granted with respect to postponing the attainment of the
Patrol Officer base rate; this, notwithstanding the fact the probationary period is over in six months.
The Panel does not wish to disturb this six month period, which has been established via the existing
Oakland County Merit System. Nevertheless, it is the Panel's recommendation that the probationary
period be reviewed with an eye toward expanding it to one year. The longer period will enable the
Employer to review more carefully the qualifications of new officers and thereby .avoid potentally
precipitous decisions now mandated by the six month review period.
6. RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTION - The Union's request that the County assume a portion of the
contributions is denied.
7. OTHER CLASSIFICATIONS - The Panel declines to rule on the existing question of whether
these classifications are subject to Act 312. However, with respect to the classifications of First
Cook, Second Cook, Counter Clerk, Typist I, Typist II, and Cook III, the Panel recommends that wage
rates be established with specific reference to similarly situated classifications under the Oakland
County Merit System. The Panel further recommends that the communications officer (formally entitled
Teletype and Radio Dispatcher) be granted a wage increase of 9 and 1/2% and, additionally, that the
County assume the 64, retirement contribution.
8. LIFE INSURANCE - The Union's request for additional coverage is denied.
9. INCOME CONTINUATION - Presently, when an employee has a continuing illness which extends
over a period equaling On of the total number of sick days the employee would have accumulated under
the existing sick leave plan since date of hire, that individual is eligible for income continuation
under a fixed schedule. It is agreed that, effective immediately, the waiting period of 809', is reduced
to 70'%..
6C1
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 4, 1975
10. DENTAL PLAN - It i • ed that a fully paid family dental insurance plan shall be
installed, effective January I, 197f .
II. CLOTHING AND CLEANING ALLOWANCE - The County's offer is adopted with respect to
nnifolmed officers. Non-uniformed officers shall receive $250.00 for 1975 and ;275.00 for 1976.
12. SHIFT PREMIUM - The Union's request for shift premiums is denied.
13. TRAINC.tIft RATE CHANGES - The Union's request in this regard is denied.
14. HOLIUY - The Union's request for an additional holiday is denied.
15, ARBITRATION CLAUSE - The finding being that the existing grievance procedure is satis-
factory and equitable, the Panel denies the Union's request for modification.
16. ANNUAL LEAVE ACCUMULATION - The Union's request in this regard is denied,
17. OPTICAL INSURANCE - The Union's request in this regard is denied,
18. The Employer's request for modification of the existing sick leave plan is denied.
19. The Employer's request for modification of the final average salary computation is
denied.
20. LONGEVITY - The Employer's request to modify the existing longevity payment schedule is
denied.
