ARTICLE 27—MILEAGE ALLOWANCE The employer agrees to reimburse any employee required to use his/her own automobile per the mileage allowance policy in effect for all city employees. ARTICLE 28 —LEAVES OF ABSENCE Each employee will receive leave following the guidelines as set out by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). ARTICLE 29 —ON CALL Employees assigned to be on call shall be paid an additional one (1) hour of pay at straight time per day Monday through Thursday, and two (2) hours of pay at straight time per day Friday through Sunday and Holidays when they are On Call. ARTICLE 30 —CENTRAL PENSION FUND The city agrees to participate in the Central Pension Fund (CPF) of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 449 and Participating Employers. The CPF is a supplemental Pension Fund authorized by Minnesota Statute § 356.24, subd. 1(10). The parties agree that the agreed upon amount that would otherwise be paid in salary or wages will be contributed instead to the CPF as pre-tax employer contributions. Contributions from the city will not be funded from any other source other than this wage reduction. Effective October 2, 2016, the contribution rate equals $0.25 per straight time hour paid (including sick, vacation, and compensatory time). The employer shall pay the contribution directly to the IUOE Central Pension Fund, 4115 Chesapeake Street NW, Washington, DC 20016. Authorization to change the contribution rate shall be subject to approval of a majority vote of all employees and cannot be changed more than once per calendar year. Maximum annual contribution limit set forth under Minnesota Statute § 356.24, subd. 1(10), as amended, is $5,000.00. The union agrees to indemnify and hold the employer, its officers, agents, and employees harmless against any claims, suits, orders, or judgments, brought against the employer as a result of any action taken or not taken by the employer on the specific provisions of this article. This "hold harmless" clause does not hold the employer harmless for failing to transfer the agreed contributions to the IUOE Central Pension Fund. It is agreed that for purposes of determining future wage rates, the employer shall first restore the amount of the wage reduction, which is currently the CPF contribution rate of $0.25 per hour, (effective October 2, 2016) then apply the applicable wage multiplier, then reduce the revised wage by the CPF contribution rate. For purposes of calculating overtime compensation the employer shall first restore the amount of the wage reduction ($0.25/hr.) then apply the applicable wage multiplier required under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the collective bargaining agreement, then pay the resulting amount for overtime worked. The CPF Plan of Benefits and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust will serve as the governing documents. 15
