-2- 3. Eliminate the Injury on Duty Waiting Period J There is presently a five day waiting period before Injury on Duty benefits will be paid. These five days are charged to the employee's sick leave account. The purpose of the waiting period is to discourage abuse of the benefit and to limit its use to those injuries of a more serious nature for which it was intended. To eliminate it would potentially open it up to abuse and misuse. 4. The present vacation schedule for the police is: 0 - 5 years service 10 days per year 6 - 10 years service 15 days per year Over 10 years service An additional day per year not to exceed 20 days The proposal provides for substantial changes which would place additional burdens on the City in two ways: A. This schedule would be different from all other employees and require special procedures for maintaining accurate records. B. More importantly, with a small force such as ours, vacation time places a burden on our ability to provide adequate coverage. An increase in the amount of vacation hours would exacerbate that burden. 5. The City's present practices with relationship to holidays has been within the 2080 hours worked during a year and not required any additional costs or loss of work hours. The proposal as presented would most likely result in additional costs to the City or, if time off is given, a reduction in our available manpower. 6. Wages A. The investigator presently receives an additional $90 per month. B. Corporals presently receive an additional $80 per month. C. The requested 8%, although more reasonable than the other union proposals we have received, is 39 greater than Lhat being discussed in the 1983 budget. Should you have any direction or comments on these proposals, I would appreciate receiving them so that they can be forwarded to our M.A.M.A. negotiating team. Drp/pf Attachmr ''
