CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 13
The Union will work with the City to minimize any overtime impact of the
additional holiday time being used before year end.
For employees hired after January 1st in a given year, the City may prorate the
hours to be banked and shall bank (provide) the number of hours of holiday pay
calculated by multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that
year by eight (8) hours (e.g., for an employee hired on March 1st, fifty-six (56) hours
calculated by multiplying the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that
year [seven (7)] by eight (8) hours); provided that the City shall not be required to bank
hours for floating holidays for any employee hired on or after July 1st during the
employee's year of hire. Floating holidays are use or lose, will not be carried forward
or cashed out if an employee permanently leaves the service of the employer. If an
employee permanently leaves the service of the employer before December 31 st of
any given year, the City may deduct banked hours credited to the employee's holiday
pay bank equal to the number of holidays remaining to be celebrated in that year
multiplied by eight (8) hours, as well as eight hours for the floating holiday if the
termination occurs prior to July 1st of that year. The additional 20 holiday hours will
not be prorated, but will be a lump sum added at the beginning of the calendar year
or upon commencement of employment.
Section 2. Work on Holidays
The decision of whether an employee will be required to work on an observed
holiday will be made by the City. Employees working on Thanksgiving Day,
Christmas, New Year's Day shall be paid at time and one half for each hour worked.
Employees working on Independence Day shall be paid at double time for each hour
worked.
Section 3. Use of Banked Holiday Hours
All employees shall make reasonable efforts to expend their banked holiday
hours prior to the end of each year (December 31). Employees may use their banked
holiday hours in increments no smaller than two hours, and shall use all banked
holiday hours prior to using any vacation hours. Banked holiday hours shall be used
on a first earned, first out (FIFO) basis.
In the event an employee does not use all of their banked holiday hours prior
to December 31, the employee will forfeit the remaining banked holiday hours, except
that an employee may carryover unused banked holiday hours until June 30 of the
following year, if:
a. the employee makes a reasonable effort to use their banked holiday
hours/pay, the employee is denied the opportunity to use banked holiday
hours/pay by their supervisor, and the employee has written
documentation of said effort in the form of completed Department leave
request forms reflecting that the use of banked holiday hours/pay had
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 14
been denied by the employee's supervisor, and/or
b. the employee was prevented from using banked holiday hours/pay
because of approved leave resulting from military service, long term
disability, work related injury, or a similar reason.
The City shall track employee use of banked holiday hours and, upon request,
the City shall provide employees and the Union with annual reports in October of each
year reflecting the amount of banked holiday hours/pay for each bargaining unit
employee.

Union members shall accrue vacation benefits while in pay status, based upon
their years with the city, as indicated in the following table:

with the City's payroll periods. Part time regular employees shall accrue vacation leave

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 15
however, such accrual rates shall be prorated to reflect their normally scheduled work
week.
Section 3. Vacation Increments
Vacation may be used in two-hour increments at the discretion of the Chief or
their appointed designee.
Section 4. _Payment Upon Death

made to the employee's estate, or in applicable cases, as provided by RCW, Title 11.
Section 5. Forfeiture of Vacation
The maximum total vacation accrual is two times the employee's annual accrual
rate.
All employees shall use all of their excess vacation accrual prior to December
31 st, or forfeit the excess, provided, an employee's total vacation accrual may exceed
the maximum stated herein, upon request and with approval of the Department and
the City Manager, if cyclical workloads, work assignments or other reasons as may be
in the best interests of the City prevent the City from scheduling the vacation.
Employees who leave City employment for any reason will be paid for their
unused vacation up to the maximum specified herein, except that employees who
become disabled in the line of duty and retire as a result thereof, shall be paid for all
unused accrued vacation in their account at the time of the termination of their
employment. Any employee who voluntarily leaves the department and does not give
the City two weeks' notice shall forfeit all unused vacation, unless such notice is not
reasonably possible.
Section 6. Vacation Scheduling
if the City cancels vacation once it has been approved and the affected
employee has incurred non-refundable expenses in planning for the same, the
employee shall be reimbursed by the City for those expenses. Any employee called
back to duty once vacation has begun shall be reimbursed for any additional
transportation costs incurred in returning to duty.
Section 7. Vacation Cash Out
Annually, each employee may elect to cash out forty (40) hours of accrued
vacation. An employee electing to cash out forty (40) hours of accrued vacation must
provide notice to HR no later than November 1. Payment for those employees
electing to cash out forty (40) hours of accrued vacation shall be made on the first pay
check in December.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)

accordance with state law.
b. LEOFF II employees shall earn 8 hours paid sick leave per month of
employment, up to a maximum of 1,040 hours.
Section 2. Sick Leave Usage
Accrued sick leave benefits may be used by an employee to avoid loss of pay
if the employee is unable to work due to personal illness or injury, enforced quarantine
in accordance with community health regulations, or the serious injury or illness of an
child of the employee with a health condition that requires treatment or supervision, or
for a spouse, domestic partner, parent, parent -in-law, or grandparent of the employee
who has a serious health condition or an emergency condition as more particularly
established in Chapter 296-130 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). Sick
leave benefits may be used in one half-hour increments.
Section 3. Washinaton Paid Sick Leave
Pursuant to Chapter 296-128-600 through 296-128-770 of the Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) and Revised Code of Washington 49.46.210, Washington
Paid Sick Leave is available to Union members to care for their health and the health
of their family members.
Washington Paid Sick Leave may be used for: an employee's mental or
physical illness, injury or health condition; preventive care such as medical, dental or
optical appointments and/or treatment; care of a family member with an illness, injury
health condition and/or preventive care such as a medical, dental, optical
appointment; closure of the employee's place of business or child's school/place of
care by order of a public official for any health -related reasons; and when the
employee or the employee's family member is a victim of domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.
Authorized use of Washington Paid Sick Leave for domestic violence, sexual
assault or stalking includes: seeking legal or law enforcement assistance or remedies
to ensure the health and safety of employee's and their family members including, but
not limited to, preparing for, or participating in, any civil or criminal legal proceeding
related to or derived from domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking; seeking
treatment by a health care provider for physical or mental injuries caused by domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking; attending health care treatment for a victim who
is the employee's family member; obtaining, or assisting the employee's family
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 17
member(s) in obtaining, services from a domestic violence shelter, a rape crisis
center, or a social services program for relief from domestic violence, sexual assault
or stalking; obtaining, or assisting a family member in obtaining, mental health
counseling related to an incident of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking in
which the employee or the employee's family member was a victim of domestic
violence, sexual assault or stalking; and, participating, for the employee or for the
employee's family member(s), in safety planning, or temporary or permanent
relocation, or other actions to increase the safety from future incidents of domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
For purposes of Washington Paid Sick Leave, "family member" is defined as: a
biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, or a child to whom the employee stands
in loco parentis or legal guardian, or is a de facto parent, regardless of age or
dependency status; a biological, adoptive, de facto, or foster parent, stepparent, or
legal guardian of an employee or the employee's spouse or domestic partner, or a
person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child; a spouse,
domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild or sibling.
Accrual
As established by law, an employee shall accrue one (1) hour of Washington
Paid Sick Leave for every forty (40) hours worked. Washington Paid Sick Leave will
accrue in conjunction with regular sick leave according to the collective bargaining
agreement.
Carry Forward
The total sick leave hours that will be carried forward at year-end, for both
standard sick leave and Washington Paid Sick Leave, will be one thousand eighty
(1,080) hours. This will include a maximum of forty (40) hours of Washington Paid
Sick Leave as provided by law. If an employee is not at the maximum carry forward
of one thousand eighty (1,080) hours, any hours of Washington Paid Sick Leave in
excess of the forty (40) hour carry forward amount will be transferred to the City sick
leave bank, so that the employee does not lose hours that they previously would have
banked prior to the establishment of Washington Paid Sick Leave. In no case will
more than a combined total of one thousand eighty (1,080) hours be carried forward.
Verification of Absences Exceedinq Three Days
If an employee is seeking to use or has used Washington paid Sick Leave for
authorized purposes or more than three (3) consecutive days during which the
employee is/was required to work, the employee may be required to provide
documentation that establishes or confirms that the use of paid sick leave is for an
authorized purpose.
Reinstatement of Employment
Employees separating or retiring from employment will not be provided with
financial or other reimbursement for unused, accrued Washington State Paid Sick
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 18
Leave. If an employee leaves employment and is rehired within twelve (12) months
of separation, any accrued, unused paid sick leave will be reinstated to the employee's
paid sick leave bank. Should the reinstatement occur in a new fiscal year, the
maximum bank will be the forty (40) hours carry over provided that the employee had
forty (40) or more hours banked upon separation.
Retaliation Prohibited
Pursuant to Chapter 296-128-770 of the WAC, any discrimination or retaliation
against an employee for lawful exercise of paid sick leave rights is prohibited.
Employees will not be disciplined for the lawful use of Washington Paid Sick Leave.
Section 4. Sick Leave Payment at Time of Retirement
a. LEOFF Retirement. Upon retirement into LEOFF II, the City agrees to
pay twenty-five percent (25%) of an employee's unused accrued sick
leave hours and unused accrued Washington paid Sick Leave hours at
the employee's current hourly rate with a cap of two hundred seventy
(270) hours. See HRA VEBA Article 9, Section 4b.
b. Death in the Line of Duty. The City agrees to pay one hundred percent
(100%) of an employee's unused accrued sick leave hours and unused
accrued Washington Paid Sick Leave hours at the employee's current
hourly rate when death occurs in the line of duty.
Section 5. Industrial Insurance Leave
If the state grants industrial insurance benefits, the Lieutenant will remain fully
compensated under the City's "kept on salary" program ("Program"). The Program
will continue the full salary without deducting any leave for thirty (30) days. In the
event the Lieutenant cannot return to work on the thirty-first (31st) day, the Lieutenant
would become eligible for time loss.
Unless otherwise required by State law, the procedure for workers'
compensation time loss payment/reimbursement will be as follows:
State Industrial Insurance will pay time loss compensation according to a set
formula based on marital status and number of dependents. Lieutenants cannot use
sick leave and receive worker's compensation at the same time, because this results
in "double payment". Lieutenants must use the time loss money from worker's
compensation to "buy back" the sick leave used. Compensatory time cannot be
bought back. "Buy back" for vacation leave is optional.. Since worker's compensation
only pays a percentage of full wages, a Lieutenant can only "buy back" a percentage
of the leave used with that money, however, the Lieutenant will not suffer the income
loss that occurs when they only receive worker's compensation benefits. When an
employee receives a worker's compensation time loss check, they should turn the
check over to payroll. Based upon the Lieutenant's hourly rate and the amount of

accommodation.
ARTICLE 6: WAGE RATES
Section 1. Wages
The linkage of twenty-two percent (22%) between the top step of base pay
(excluding Career Development) ("Top Step") of the police officer in the Guild contract
and the first step of pay for Lieutenants (the "Differential Formula") is intended to
provide stability and avoid potential compression. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, the Lieutenants will receive a pay adjustment whenever there is a change
in the Top Step in the Guild bargaining agreement. The pay adjustment shall occur at
the same time that the Guild adjustment to the Top Step is effective. While each party
reserves the right to seek a change in the Differential Formula in future negotiations,
any such change will require the party proposing it to have a compelling basis for
making the change. In the event negotiations between the parties to this Agreement
extend into the year following the contract expiration date of this Agreement, the
Lieutenants will not receive any change required by the Differential Formula until a
new Agreement is in place. For example, this Agreement expires on December 31,
2021. In the event the Guild receives an increase of X percent on January 1, 2022,
and the parties are still negotiating their new agreement, no additional pay will be
received by the Lieutenants until the contract negotiations are complete. At that time,
assuming no change is agreed to in wages by the City and the Lieutenants Union, the
Lieutenants shall receive an increase of X percent (as provided in the Differential
Formula) retroactive to January 1.
The wage adjustments for 2019 are retroactive to January 1, 2019, and apply
to currently employed Lieutenants as of ratification. Wage rate shall be as specified
in Appendix A.
Section 2. Supervisory Training Incentive
A lieutenant will receive a one-time payment of $250 upon completion of the
first level supervisory certificate. A lieutenant will be eligible to receive an additional
one-time payment of $250 upon completion of 72 hours of approved elective
supervisory and management classes taken within a three year period. If a lieutenant
makes a good faith effort to meet the goal during the three year period, but is unable
to do so as a result of reasonable training requests being denied (funding, for
operational reasons, etc.) the time period for obtaining the additional hours will be
extended one year.
Section 3. On -Call Pay
Effective the first pay period following ratification of the Agreement, lieutenants
assigned to the Criminal Investigations Section, the Traffic/MATT Unit, SWAT and the
Bomb Unit shall receive an additional five (5) percent of the top step wage rate per
month as on call pay. The higher percentage rate is due to the more frequent rotation.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 112
Section 4. Extra -Duty Pay
Field Training Officer Program (FTO) Lieutenant shall receive five (5) percent
pay as the program administrator. When assigned by the department, an additional
FTO Lieutenant will be added and shall receive an additional three (3) percent while
fulfilling that role. The lieutenant assigned as the program administrator for the Force
Training Unit shall receive an additional five (5) percent of the top step wage rate per
month.

Shift starting hours will be determined from time to time by the City.
There will be one Lieutenant assigned to each patrol squad.

Fridays off. In the event of court appearances or operational needs of
the Police Department, the City may adjust the shifts and work days of
Detective Lieutenants to minimize overtime expenses to the City.
Normal work hours will be from 0700-1700. Detective Lieutenants will
be authorized to work a traditional 5/8 schedule upon request. Except
for the rotating on -call detective assignment, if the City determines to
have individual schedules for detectives that do not have weekends off,
the City will initially request volunteers and then make the assignment
by inverse seniority if there are insufficient volunteers. Lieutenants will
continue to flex their time when reasonably possible so as to minimize
overtime.
a. (iii) The Traffic, Contract Services, and Administrative Lieutenants will work
a 4/10 schedule. In the event of court appearances or operational needs
of the Police Department, the City may adjust the shifts and work days
of these Lieutenants to minimize overtime expenses to the City. These
Lieutenants will be authorized to work a traditional 5/8 schedule upon
request.
b. Reopener The parties agree that the City may reopen the issue of
shift scheduling with the Union. Any such bargaining will be handled on
an expedited basis. After 60 days, either party may request a mediator
from the PERC. The parties agree to waive the arbitration panel and
agree to select a single arbitrator in accordance with the PERC
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 113
procedure, and to cooperate in expediting the arbitration procedure.
c. The normal workday shall be inclusive of the thirty minute lunch period
for all members of the bargaining unit. Lieutenants in investigations will
flex their schedules so as to minimize the impact on the City.
Section 2. Shift Bidding
Lieutenants assigned to the patrol function will bid annually for their work shift
and days off based upon their seniority. The bid will be conducted electronically
through Department email. It will be open for seven days. After all bids are submitted
the Union may waive the 7-day requirement.
The City may move a lieutenant during the year, or after reviewing the bid
results, based upon reasonable necessity. A reasonable necessity would involve a
change made by the City due to legal concerns. In the event the change will be for
more than four (4) months, the Union may request a rebid of positions.
Section 3. Specialty Assignments
The assignment of employees to specialty units shall be made by the City.
Section 4. Shift Trades
With management approval, shift trades may be made, upon request of the
employee. Under no circumstances will a shift trade result in the payment of
contractual overtime, or have any other additional cost to the City.
Section 5. Out of Class
A lieutenant assigned by the City to perform work out of class (i.e.- as a
commander) will receive a seven percent (7%) increase for those hours spent as
performing those duties.
Section 6. On -Call
Employees who are on -call pursuant to an on -call schedule authorized by this
section shall carry a City provided pager or be reachable by telephone, and shall
generally respond within one (1) hour. Employees who are on -call shall also be
provided a City vehicle for commute purposes during all periods that the employee is
subject to call-back.
Section 7. Rotating Schedule
Lieutenants assigned to the Criminal Investigations Sections may be placed on
a rotating, on -call schedule. The schedule and procedures for assigning lieutenants
to on -call duties will be consistent with current practice.

squad will be assigned in this priority, based on the conditions described:
1. When a field operations specialty lieutenant is on duty, that lieutenant
will be assigned to supervise the patrol squad, if available.
2. When there is no field operations lieutenant available, supervision
may be conducted by another lieutenant on overtime. When there is
sufficient advance notice that an absence under these conditions will
occur, an announcement will be sent to all lieutenants via department
email seeking a lieutenant to volunteer for the overtime.
a. Generally the supervision will be granted first come, first
served.
3. If no lieutenant volunteers to fill an overtime vacancy, a corporal
may be used to supervise the squad.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 118
b. Staff will monitor the actual impacts to the budget to determine if the take
home car program is sustainable. The determination of whether the
program is sustainable will be based upon program costs remaining
under the financial limits, or a determination that the program has an
adverse impact on the operations of the department and/or City. If the
City determines that it is not sustainable, the first step will be to address
the issues through labor management meetings. If it can't be resolved
there, it will be addressed through bargaining via a re -opener on take
home cars.
C. Secondary vehicles will be used to increase the number of vehicles
available to Lieutenants who would not normally be assigned a vehicle
based on assignment. No new vehicles will be purchased for the startup

early. Rather, the car will be unavailable until a new secondary vehicle
becomes available in the regular course of the fleet
maintenance/rotation. Regular maintenance will be continued on
secondary vehicles.
e. All relevant MOS sections apply including 40.1.3
Mileage limit of a 25 mile radius from City Hall. All 13 current Lieutenants

another police/fire station. Any Lieutenants promoted after the effective
date of this contract (01/01/2015) are not grandfathered in and subject
to the mileage restriction The mileage radius applies only to cars
authorized under this program, not to cars assigned for other reasons
by the department (e.g. on call assignment).

recurrence of similar misconduct for which the employee was disciplined during that
period. Employees may request that records of more serious discipline be expunged
from personnel files after a minimum period of five years if there is no recurrence of
similar misconduct for which the employee was disciplined during that period. Requests
for the expunging of disciplinary references in personnel files, pursuant to this section,
shall not be unreasonably denied. In making this determination a factor the Chief may
consider is that the Lieutenant is in a supervisory position. Nothing in this section shall

Employees laid off in accordance with the provisions of this Article will be
offered reinstatement into future vacancies of the same classification in the inverse
order of layoff, for a period of one year from the date of layoff. An employee that has
been laid off must keep the City informed of their current address and phone number.
An employee who fails to report for duty within three days of being recalled (or commits

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 123
calendar weeks due to the requirement to give notice to an interim employer), or who
rejects an opportunity for reinstatement, shall be removed from the recall list.
ARTICLE 13: DISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATIONS
Section 1. Disciplinary Standards
No employee shall be subject to discipline except for just cause. An employee
who engages in off -duty misconduct may be subject to discipline when: (1) the off -
duty misconduct, if known, would harm the City's reputation in the community; (2) the
off -duty conduct materially affects the employer's business operation; or (3) the
conduct is inconsistent with the office that the police lieutenant holds.
Section 2. Disciplinary Investigations
In criminal matters, an employee shall be afforded those constitutional rights
available to any citizen. In administrative matters relating to job performance, the
following guidelines shall be follows:
a. "Interrogation" as used herein shall mean any questioning by an agent
of the City who is conducting an investigation (as opposed to a routine
inquiry) of the employee being interrogated, when the agent knows (or
reasonably should know) that the questioning could result in employee
discipline.
b. Before interrogation, the employee shall be informed of the nature of the
matter in sufficient detail to reasonably apprise them of the matter.
Nothing herein shall operate as a waiver of the Union's right to request
bargaining information.
C. Any interrogation of an employee shall be at a reasonable hour,
preferably when the employee is on duty, unless the exigencies of the
investigation dictate otherwise.
d. Any interrogation shall take place at the City Police Department, except
when impractical. The employee shall be advised of their right to and
shall be allowed that Union representation to the extent allowed by the
law.
e. The questioning shall not be overly long and the employee shall be
entitled to such intermissions as are reasonably necessary.
f. The employee shall not be subjected to any offensive language or
abusive questioning, nor shall they be threatened with dismissal,
transfer or other disciplinary punishment as a guise to attempt to obtain
their resignation.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 124
g. The Employer shall not require any employee covered by this
Agreement to take or be subjected to a lie detector test as a condition of
continued employment. Nor shall polygraph evidence of any kind be
admissible in disciplinary proceedings, except by stipulation of the
parties to this Agreement.
h. The Department may, and upon request will, tape record any
interrogation. Upon request, a copy of the tape/transcript (if made) will
be provided to the lieutenant.
ARTICLE 14: GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Grievance Procedure Steps
a. Any grievance that may arise between parties concerning the
application, meaning, or interpretation of this Agreement, shall be settled
in the manner prescribed by this grievance procedure.
b. A "Grievance" is defined as a claim or dispute by an employee, group of
employees, or the Union concerning the interpretation or application of
the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this procedure shall prohibit
an employee from discussing a complaint directly with his supervisor or
department head without representation by the Union, as provided by
State Law.
C. Should a subject for claim or dispute arise, there shall be no stoppage
of work by employees, but an earnest effort shall be made to settle such
claims or disputes promptly and in the manner hereinafter outlined.
Step 1
An employee or a group of employees claiming to have a grievance shall
discuss the complaint with the immediate supervisor within ten (10) calendar
days of the alleged occurrence, or when they reasonably should have known
of the alleged occurrence.
Step 2
The supervisor shall attempt informal resolution of the grievance within
seven (7) calendar days after it is presented.
Step 3
Provided the grievance is not settled satisfactorily at step 2, it may be
presented to the Police Chief (or designee) by the Union within seven (7)
calendar days of the supervisor's response or the expiration of the time limit in
step 2. The submission shall be in writing, setting forth the nature of the
grievance, the articles of this agreement allegedly violated, and the requested
remedy.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 125
Step 4
The Police Chief or designee shall attempt to settle the grievance within
ten (10) calendar days after it has been presented, and shall respond in writing.
Step 5
If the grievance is not settled by the Police Chief within the time allowed,
it may be presented in writing to the City Manager, with a copy to the Director
of Human Resources, by the Union within seven (7) calendar days of the Police
Chief's response or the expiration of the time limit in step 4.
Step 6
The Mayor shall have fourteen (14) days to review the grievance. If the
Mayor does not respond or otherwise settle the grievance within the fourteen -
day period, the grievance shall be automatically advanced to Step 7, and shall
not be forfeited by either party.
Step 7
a. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6, and involves a matter
other than discipline, the dispute will be referred to the negotiating
committee of both parties. The two committees shall meet within
ten (10) calendar days to consider the dispute. At that meeting,
all pertinent facts and information will be reviewed in an effort to
resolve the matter through conciliation. If no satisfactory solution
is reached in this step, the matter may be submitted in writing to
arbitration within 30 calendar days of the conciliation meeting.
b. If the grievance is not settled at Step 6 and involves discipline
other than an oral or written warning, the matter may be
submitted, in writing, to arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days
of the date that the City Manager's review is due. Oral and written
warnings may only be grieved through step 6 of this procedure.
However, if the City attempts to introduce prior oral or written
warnings in a subsequent discipline case that is subject to
arbitration, the City shall be required to prove that it had just
cause to issue those prior oral or written warnings as well as the
instant discipline.
Section 2. Arbitration Panel
The City and the Union shall try to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbiter. If
the parties fail to agree, they shall request a list of seven (7) arbiters from the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service, with all arbiters being members of the National
Academy of Arbitrators. The parties shall alternatively strike from the list until only one
name remains. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 126
a. The Arbitrator shall make their own rules of procedure. The Arbitrator
shall have no authority to amend, alter, or modify this Agreement or its
terms, and shall limit their decision solely to the interpretation and
application of this Agreement.
b. Each grievance or dispute will be submitted separately except when the
City and the Lieutenant Union mutually agree to have more than one
grievance or dispute submitted to the Arbitrator.
C. The losing party shall bear the expense of the Arbitrator. The losing
party shall be denominated in the award. When there is no winning
party, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by the parties. All
other costs and expenses will be paid by the party incurring them,
including costs of representation.
d. The Arbitrator shall have thirty (30) days from the close of the hearing to
issue an award.
Section 3. Time Limits
Time limits will be strictly adhered to, but may be extended by mutual written
agreement upon reasonable request, except for situations where no timely grievance
is filed. While forfeiture under this clause will finally resolve the matter in dispute, it
will not establish a precedent between the parties on issues of contractual
interpretation.
Section 4. Multiple Procedures
In the case of disciplinary actions, both appealable to the Civil Service
Commission and grievable under the terms of this contract, a written election of
remedies shall be made after receipt of the Step 6 response. An employee may elect
to either pursue an appeal to the Civil Service Commission or continue with the
contractual grievance procedure, but not both. If mutually agreed, time limits will be
extended to complete a reasonable investigation before the selection of remedies is
made. An appeal will be timely under the Civil Service rules if it is filed within ten (10)
days of the completion of step 6 of the grievance procedure.
Section 5. Step 3 Submission
In those instances where disciplinary action is based on reasonable evidence
of the commission of a crime, or the proposed discipline involves suspension or
termination of the employee, Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure will be initiated
immediately.
Section 6. Just Cause Standard
No employee may be discharged, suspended without pay, demoted (except as
provided below) or disciplined in any way except forjust cause. The City may withhold
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 127
a step increase, for a specified period of time, if it has just cause.
Section 7. Probationary Period
All newly promoted employees must serve a probationary period. The
probationary period upon promotion shall be one year from the date of appointment.
The probationary, period shall be extended for the number of work days equal to the
number of work days an employee was absent in excess of 10 work days during the
probationary period; provided that the taking of scheduled and approved vacation shall
not be counted toward the ten day period for promotional probationers. The
probationary period is an extension of the promotional process; therefore, the
provisions of this Article will not apply to employees if they are demoted during the
promotional probationary period for not meeting the requirements of the classification.
Grievances brought by probationary employees involving issues other than demotion
may be processed in accordance with this Article. -
Section 8. Parties to the Agreement
In as much as this is an agreement between the City and the Union, no
individual employee may make use of the provisions of this Article, except as
expressly provided above.
ARTICLE 15: NONDISCRIMINATION
The Employer and the Union shall not unlawfully discriminate against any
individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of
employment because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, or disability.
Claims of unlawful discrimination shall not be processed in accordance with the
grievance procedure denominated herein.
The Employer and the Union agree that they will cooperate in complying with
the Americans with Disabilities Act.
ARTICLE 16: DRUG TESTING
Section 1. Reporting to work under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal
drugs, or the use, sale, or possession by an employee of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited
and will result in disciplinary action, including immediate termination. For the purpose of
this policy, substances that require a prescription or other written approval from a licensed
physician or dentist for their use shall also be included when used other than as
prescribed. Each employee must advise the Employer if they are using prescription or
other over-the-counter drugs they know or reasonably should know may impair their
ability to perform job functions and/or operate machinery such as automobiles. Under
appropriate circumstances the Employer may request the employee to provide written
medical authorization from a physician to perform various essential job functions while
using such drugs.
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY (LIEUTENANT)
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2021-2021 Page 128
Any voluntary request by an employee for assistance with their own alcohol
abuse problem will remain confidential and shall not be used as the basis for any
disciplinary action provided that the request for assistance is initiated prior to being
identified as impaired through the procedures herein.
The parties recognize the essential purpose of any law enforcement agency is to
enforce the criminal laws. Moreover, the parties recognize the courts have held it would
substantially impair law enforcement agencies if they were required to employ individuals
within their ranks who have violated the very laws said agencies are charged with
enforcing. Therefore, the Employer reserves the right to refuse to employ or continue the
employment of individuals who are or have been engaged in serious criminal conduct,
whether drug related or not.
Section 2. Where a supervisory employee of the City has a reasonable
suspicion to believe an employee is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or is
abusing the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs, or is using illegal drugs, the
employee in question will be asked to submit to discovery testing. Such tests include
breath tests, urinalysis and/or blood screens to identify any involvement with alcohol or
such drugs.
An employee who refuses to submit to discovery testing for alcohol and/or illegal
drugs shall be conclusively presumed to be under the influence of alcohol or an illegal
drug for the purpose of administering this Article, and therefore will be subject to
discipline, including immediate discharge.
Section 3. For the purpose of administering this Article the following definition
of terms is provided:
a. Reasonable Suspicion
Reasonable suspicion is based on specific objective facts and reasonable
inferences from those facts, that discovery testing will produce evidence
of a violation of this policy;
b. Under the Influence

test or its consequences. The results of this second test shall be provided to the City.
Section 7. The employee and the Union (upon consent of the employee) shall
be informed of the results of all tests, and provided with all documentation regarding the
