Article 1 RECOGNITION

1.1 The State of Connecticut through the Board of Trustees for UCONN Health, Farmington, (hereinafter known as the Employer) recognizes the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, (hereinafter known as the Union) as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the purposes of establishing salaries, hours and other conditions of employment for the professional employees on the regular payroll in the bargaining unit which excludes per diem employees, University Hospital Resident Physicians and Dentists, Graduate Assistants, Faculty, and Managerial/Confidential Exclusions as defined in e.G.s. 5270.

1.2 The Board of Trustees reserves its right under the State Collective Bargaining Statute, Section 5-270 to exclude additional positions which are or which may become managerial during the life of this contract. Such exclusions shall be made in accordance with the process delineated in the Memorandum of Agreement regarding management exclusions.

1.3 The Department of Human Resources shall send to the Union every six months a list of all individuals and their titles who are managerial or confidential exclusions.

1.4 Whenever in this Agreement eligibility for a benefit is premised on an employee's having an assignment authorization of fifty (50) percent or more (such as but not necessarily limited to personal leave, tuition waiver, payment for jury duty, disability insurance):

a. The employee must actually be paid the percentage of time specified in the assignment authorization.

b. The assignment authorization must be in effect for sixty (60) days. Therefore, an employee whose assignment authorization is increased from below fifty (50) percent to fifty (50) percent or more shall not be eligible for the benefit until the assignment authorization has been in effect for sixty (60) days; an employee whose assignment authorization is decreased, shall not have such benefits reduced or eliminated until the reduction has been in effect for sixty (60) days. In the case of benefits which

coincide with the calendar month, the change shall take place on the first of the month which follows a period of 60 days or a major portion thereof.

The above does not apply to vacation, sick leave and seniority. Sick leave and vacation shall continue to be prorated as specified in the Agreement. Seniority shall continue to be prorated based on assignment authorization percentage.

An employee's previously accrued leave shall not be increased or decreased as a result of a change in assignment authorization; however, eligibility for leave and/or the rate of accrual shall be modified as provided in Section 1.4.

With respect to personal leave:

a. An employee shall lose personal leave time accrued upon a decrease of assignment authorization to below fifty (50) percent.

b. An employee whose assignment authorization is increased to fifty (50) percent or more shall receive pro rata personal leave.

Article 2 CHECK-OFF 2.1

a. Employees who join the Union shall pay dues and initiation fees (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Article.

b. Employees who do not join the Union shall pay agency fees in accordance with the terms of this Article.

c. Compliance with Article 2.la and 2.1b IS a condition of employment.

d. UCONN Health may deduct contributions in the amount specified from the gross paycheck of each person in the unit who authorizes in writing payments to fund-raising drives sponsored by UCONN Health.
