Such posted material shall bear the date and the identity of the Union.

a. Involves a politician, political candidate, or political issue.

b. Disparages or demeans the PPH, its affiliates or related entities, or any individual.

ARTICLE 8 - EMPLOYMENT CATEGORIES

8.1 Full-time Employee. A full-time employee is one who is regularly scheduled to work seventy-two (72) hours per two-week pay period for twelve (12) hour shifts and eighty (80) hours per two-week pay period for eight (8) hour shifts.

8.5 Probationary Employee. A probationary employee is an employee who has been employed less than ninety (90) days. The initial ninety (90) days of employment are a trial period for the Employer and the employee.

Page 9: AGREEMENT Between CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE …

SEA 1832822v2 60056-7 1.15.08

8

9.2 All Other Employees. Per Diem and all other employees accrue seniority at the rate of one (1) month for each two (2) months worked commencing with the date of hire at PPH. Upon completion of the probationary period, seniority will accrue retroactively to the date of the employee’s hire.

9.4 A seniority list of bargaining unit employees, with seniority dates that are updated quarterly, shall be posted in mutually agreed upon locations, and all such updated lists shall be sent to CHE.

ARTICLE 10 - LAYOFF, RECALL, AND SEVERANCE

10.1 Flexing or Call-Off. Flexing or call-off is driven by the day-to-day, shift-to-shift change in census. Call-off may also include mid-shift cancellation.

c. Volunteers

d. Temporary Employees*

e. Travelers two (2) times per pay period

9

Regular full-time and part-time employees shall not be flexed more than two (2) times within a pay period. Provided, however, that where all full and part-time employees in the job category, location, and shift have been flexed twice in the pay period and there are no temporary, casual, or per diem employees in the job category, location, and shift, the least senior employee(s) may be flexed.

10.2 Indefinite Layoff.

10.2.1 An indefinite layoff is defined as a layoff that is expected to last more than thirty (30) days. Layoffs shall affect employees in the various job categories (classification)/skill mixes by location and shift, by reverse seniority, in the following order:

a. Registry

b. Volunteers

c. Temporary Employees

d. Travelers

e. Probationary Per Diem

f. Probationary Full-time and Part-time

g. Per Diem

h. Casual

i. Part-time/Full-time

10.2.2 Any employee whose position is eliminated in an indefinite layoff shall be provided with a list of available vacant positions, such list to include the location, the shift and scheduled hours. The affected employee shall be given preference over any outside applicant for a position for which he/she is qualified. For purposes of this paragraph, “qualified” shall be defined as being able to perform the essential functions of the job after a training period not to exceed any training period offered to a prospective new employee for the same or a similar position.

If an employee is laid off as provided in 10.2.1 above, then the following shall apply:

The employee may displace the least senior employee of the same status (part-time ineligible for benefits, part-time eligible for benefits, full-time) in the employee’s category (classification) in the same facility, provided the employee is qualified.

If no such position exists, the employee may displace the least senior employee of the same status (part-time ineligible for benefits, part-time eligible for benefits, full-time) in the equivalent of the employee’s category (classification) in another PPH facility, provided the employee is qualified.

Qualifications in this Article shall be defined as in Article 18 (Vacancies, Posting of Positions, Transfers & Promotions, Section 18.3).

Page 11: AGREEMENT Between CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE …

SEA 1832822v2 60056-7 1.15.08

10

10.2.3 Notification to CHE. Absent an emergency, Act of God, civil disturbance, or other event beyond the control of the Employer, PPH shall notify CHE of an indefinite layoff at least thirty (30) days in advance. Upon request by the Union, the Employer shall meet to discuss the effects of the layoff.

10.2.4 Notification to the Employee. Absent an emergency, act of God, civil disturbance, or other event beyond the control of the Employer, the affected employee(s) shall be given fourteen (14) days notice of indefinite layoff or pay in lieu of notice for all hours which the employee would have been regularly scheduled.

10.3 Recall. Laid off employees shall be recalled to their prior position/skill in reverse order of layoff when openings occur. Laid off employees shall remain on a recall list for a period not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days. An employee who accepts a temporary position shall remain on the recall list while in the temporary position. Failure to report address or telephone changes in writing to Human Resources will result in a loss of the employee’s recall rights.

10.4 Severance.

10.4.1 Where PPH reasonably anticipates that the layoff will be of six (6) months or longer, laid off full-time or part-time employees shall receive severance pay according to the following schedule:

Length of Service Severance Less than two (2) years one (1) week Completion of two (2) years two (2) weeks Completion of five (5) years three (3) weeks Completion of ten (10) years ten (10) weeks

10.4.2 Severance is calculated as weeks of pay for regularly scheduled work at

the employee’s base rate of pay, not including overtime. To receive severance pay, the employee must sign a general release prepared by the Employer waiving all claims against the Employer, including but not limited to claims under this Agreement, claims under Title VII, Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), etc.

10.5 Nothing contained herein shall require PPH to flex, call off, or lay off an employee who has demonstrated the ability to successfully perform the essential duties in question and retain a more senior employee who has not.

ARTICLE 11 - DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE

11.1 The right to maintain discipline is vested exclusively in the Employer. A bargaining unit employee who has successfully completed the probationary period may only be disciplined or discharged for just cause. CHE shall be notified, in writing, in a timely manner of all bargaining unit employee suspensions and discharges.

Page 12: AGREEMENT Between CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE …

SEA 1832822v2 60056-7 1.15.08

11

11.2 Where PPH reasonably believes an investigatory interview may result in suspension or discharge of the bargaining unit employee, PPH shall advise the employee in advance.

11.3 A bargaining unit employee shall be informed of his/her entitlement to have a Union representative present during an investigatory interview where the employee reasonably believes that such an interview will result in a disciplinary action of suspension or discharge.

11.4 Failure to comply with Section 11.2 or 11.3 shall not affect the outcome of the discipline.

ARTICLE 12 - PERSONNEL FILES

12.1 A bargaining unit employee, or a CHE Representative, with written authorization from the employee, may view an employee’s personnel file during regular business office hours with at least four (4) business day’s advance notice.

12.2 Copies of relevant materials within the personnel file shall be provided on written request of the employee within four (4) business days.

12.3 Documentation of disciplinary action will be retained in the personnel file. Unrelated disciplinary actions will not be considered, after one year, when determining the level of discipline for infractions of policy or procedure.

ARTICLE 13 - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

13.1 A grievance is defined as a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement, including claims of discrimination alleging a violation of ARTICLE 4. The term “days”, in the context of this ARTICLE, is defined as calendar days excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and PPH recognized holidays.

13.2 CHE and the Employer recognize that the goal of this grievance procedure is to attempt to resolve the grievance at the lowest level possible with the least amount of time and resources. In the case of a grievance filed on behalf of an individual bargaining unit member (“individual grievance”), the employee must first meet with his/her supervisor/manager to attempt to resolve the grievance. This meeting may be waived if either the grievant or his/her supervisor/manager deems it unnecessary. If the grievance is not resolved by this meeting, the grievance shall be handled in accordance with the procedures set forth below. At least one (1) grievant must accompany a Union steward at any meeting under this grievance procedure, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

13.3 All written responses by the Employer shall be addressed to CHE with copies to the grievant and to the designated Unit Representative.

13.4 Step One.

13.4.1 An employee or CHE initiates the grievance procedure by completing and delivering a grievance form to the employee’s immediate supervisor in the case of an

Page 13: AGREEMENT Between CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE …

SEA 1832822v2 60056-7 1.15.08

12

individual grievance or, in the case of all other grievances, to the Chief Human Resources Officer or designee, within twenty (20) days of the date upon which either the employee or CHE first became aware, or reasonably should have first become aware, of the events or circumstances which gave rise to the grievance. The grievance must contain the following information:

a. The issue, situation or nature of the grievance;

b. The provision(s) of the Agreement alleged to have been violated;

c. The resolution or remedy sought;

d. And, in the case of an individual grievance, the signature of at least one (1) grievant. Receipt of the consent by fax or e-mail from the grievant within the time for filing, shall constitute signing of the grievance. The ten (10) day time limit below shall commence with this receipt.

13.4.2 A meeting to resolve the grievance shall take place within ten (10) days after the filing of the grievance, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Supervisor or his/her designee will respond in writing within ten (10) days of the meeting.

13.5 Step Two.

13.5.1 If the grievance has not been resolved, the grievant or CHE may move the grievance to Step Two by submitting a written statement to the Human Resources Department for transmission to the responsible Manager, or his/her designee, within ten (10) days after receipt of the written response to Step One.

13.5.2 A meeting shall be held to resolve the grievance during the ten (10) day period following receipt of the written statement, or as soon thereafter is as practicable. The Manager, or his/her designee, will respond in writing within ten (10) days after the meeting, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

13.6 Step Three.

13.6.1 If the grievance has not been resolved, the grievant or CHE may move the grievance to Step Three by submitting a written statement to the Chief Human Resources Officer or designee, for transmission to the responsible Vice-President or vice-presidential level Manager, within ten (10) days of receipt of the written response to Step Two.

13.6.2 A meeting shall be held to resolve the grievance during the ten (10) day period following receipt of the written statement, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The responsible Executive or Executive level Manager, or his/her designee, will respond in writing within ten (10) days after the meeting.

13.6.3 Any or all of the above grievance steps may be waived by written agreement of the parties.

13.7 Time Limits. If a grievance is not filed by the Union in accordance with the twenty (20) day period noted in § 13.4.1 above, it shall not be subject to arbitration, and the

Page 14: AGREEMENT Between CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE …

SEA 1832822v2 60056-7 1.15.08

13

matter will be deemed concluded. Grievances not responded to by either party within the time limits presented herein shall be automatically moved to the next step. Provided, however, arbitration must be specifically requested within the time limits of Article 14.

ARTICLE 14 - ARBITRATION

14.1 Grievances which are not settled pursuant to ARTICLE 13 - Grievance Procedures, and which the Union desires to contest further, shall be submitted to arbitration as provided in this ARTICLE. Matters excluded from arbitration by other provisions of this Agreement are not subject to arbitration.

14.2 The Employer must receive requests for arbitration within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Step Three response required under ARTICLE 13.

14.3 By mutual agreement, CHE and the Employer may select a mediator to try to resolve the grievance before arbitration. The recommendation of the mediator is not binding on either party. A mediator selected by the parties may not serve as an arbitrator for the same grievance. Nothing said or done by the mediator or the parties or anyone else at the mediation session(s) may be referred to in any way at the arbitration hearing.

14.4 As soon as possible and, in any event, not later than ten (10) calendar days after the Employer receives written notice of CHE’s desire for arbitration, the parties shall agree upon an arbitrator. If no agreement is reached within said ten (10) days, an arbitrator shall be selected from the following list of seven (7) arbitrators, by alternate striking of names until one (1) name remains. The party who strikes the first name shall be determined by lot.

Sara Adler Howard Block Lou Zigman Michael Rappaport Tom Roberts

14.5 The fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be borne equally by the parties. Each

party shall bear the expenses of the presentation of its own case.

14.6 The arbitrator’s authority will be limited to interpretation of the provisions of the Agreement. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, subtract from, or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement in any way, but shall determine only whether there has been a violation of the Agreement in the respect alleged in the grievance. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon all parties concerned, including the employee(s) on whose behalf the arbitration is brought.

14.7 Either the Employer or CHE may call any employee as a witness, and the Employer agrees to release said witness from work if he/she is on duty, subject to patient care and operational needs, provided PPH receives sufficient notice that CHE desires to have the employee testify. If the Employer calls the employee witness, the Employer will reimburse the employee for time lost; if called by CHE, the Union will reimburse the employee for time lost.

14.8 Past practice of the parties in interpreting or applying terms of this Agreement may be relevant evidence, but shall not be used so as to justify, or result in, what is in effect a modification (whether by addition or by detraction) of the written terms of the Agreement. No decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be retroactive beyond the beginning of the twenty- (20-) day period specified in Step One of the grievance procedure set forth in ARTICLE 12, except in cases where the arbitrator determines that the grievant could not have known of the occurrence of the violation of the Agreement, in which case the arbitrator’s decision may be retroactive to the time of the occurrence. The arbitrator shall have no power to render an award on any grievance occurring before the effective date, or filed after the termination date, of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

14.9 If the discharge or discipline of an employee results from conduct relating to a patient or prospective patient and the patient or prospective patient does not appear at the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall not consider the failure of the patient or prospective patient to appear as prejudicial or as an adverse inference.

14.10 If the arbitrator finds that the Employer has discharged an employee without cause and orders reinstatement with back pay, the following shall be credited against back pay:

a. All earnings received by the employee in lieu of what the employee would have received as back pay; however, if an employee at the time of discharge is employed elsewhere and continues to work the same schedule, then those monies earned shall not be deducted from any back pay;

b. The amount of any unemployment compensation received by the employee shall be withheld by the Employer, who shall remit it to the appropriate state authorities to the credit of the employee’s account.

14.11 The employee shall provide evidence regarding the aforementioned items as is required by the Employer.

ARTICLE 26 - FLOATING

26.1 Both the Union and PPH recognize that, in order to meet patient and operational needs, it is necessary to float personnel from their usual area of work. As used in this ARTICLE, the terms “float” and “floating” do not refer to the movement of employees who, because of the nature of their jobs, are required to carry out their responsibilities in more than one area. Where there are positions that historically have not been required to float, that practice shall be maintained unless patient or operational needs require otherwise. As used in this ARTICLE, Pomerado Hospital and Villa Pomerado shall be considered a single facility.

26.1.1 Floating of employees shall be in compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations, including Title XXII of the California Administrative Code.

26.1.2 Regular Full-time and Part-time employees with eighteen (18) years or more of continuous service at PPH shall not be required to float where there are employees in the position in the unit who have less than eighteen (18) years, unless it would require an employee in the unit to float more than twice per pay period.

26.2 Order of Floating by Job Code, Location and Shift:

a. Volunteers

b. Registry, if possible

c. Travelers

d. Per Diems

e. Regular Full- and Part-time

26.3 Full-time and Part-time Employees. The floating order for Regular Full- and Part-time employees will be on a rotational basis, including those employees who are working overtime shift. However, with the approval of the unit manager, employees within a job code may vote to change the rotation. Any proposed change in the order of rotation shall provide for the level of safe staffing determined by the manager. The unit manager may not without reason withhold approval of a proposed change in the order of rotation.

26.4 Floating Between PPH Facilities. All bargaining unit employees shall be regularly assigned to a base facility, except where the nature of the employee’s job requires performing their responsibilities at more than one facility, or the employee holds a regular position at more than one facility. If during the course of a shift an employee is required, or volunteers, to float between facilities, the employee shall receive a premium equal to $3.00/hour from the time the employee leaves their base facility (including travel time to the destination facility) to the end of the shift. If an employees begins his/her shift at a facility other than their base facility, he/she will receive a premium equal to $3.00/hour for all hours worked that shift. In addition to the above premium, an employee will be reimbursed for mileage at the current rate established by PPH from the employee’s base facility to the destination facility, round trip. Floating differentials shall not apply to training, education or orientation sessions. Floating between facilities shall be voluntary. PPH facilities as used in this ARTICLE are as follows: Palomar Medical Center, Pomerado Hospital/Villa Pomerado, Escondido Surgery Center, PCCC, and Innovation.

Regular full-time and part-time Employees begin accruing PTO beginning the pay period in which they complete their three-month probationary period. Per Diem, casual, registry, travelers, and temporary Employees are not eligible to accrue or receive PTO benefits.

PTO is accrued each pay period based upon the number of PTO eligible hours worked as defined in PPH Procedure #0635 during the pay period multiplied by the applicable accrual rate.

The annual accrual rates for full-time non-exempt Employees and the maximum PTO benefit for Employees are summarized in Chart A. Part-time Employees accrue at a pro-rata rate.

LANGUAGE TRANSLATION

PPH is seeking to minimize the use of employees under the CHE agreement to assist in language translation for patients and their families. PPH is currently undertaking a number of steps to this end.

PPH’s plans for translation strategies will be reviewed in the Spring of 2007. If it appears PPH’s strategies are not substantially successful in minimizing CHE employees’ participation in translation, then upon request by CHE, PPH will meet with CHE to consider alternatives. Alternatives include, but are not limited to, compensation for participating, qualified employees under the CHE agreement.
