PREAMBLE
THIS AGREEMENT entered into by the CITY OF Mt. HENRY6 ILLINOIS (hereinafter referred to as
the "City" or the "Employer") and the ILLINOIS FOP LABOR COUNCIL (hereinafter referred to as
the "Union" or "Council" or "Labor Council") is in recognition of the Unions status as the
representative of the City's non -sworn full-time Lead Telecommunicators, Telecommunicators,
Community Service Officers, and Records Clerks in the Police Department, and has as its intent and
purpose being the establishment of an entire agreement covering all rates of pay, hours of work and
conditions of employment applicable to bargaining unit employees during the term of this Agreement;
the promotion of good working relations between the Employer and the Union; to encourage and
improve efficiency and productivity; to prevent interruptions of work and interference with the
operations of the City; and the establishment of an orderly procedure for the resolution of grievances as
provided herein. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in this
Agreement, the Employer and the Union do mutually promise and agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 RECOGNITION
Section 1.1 Recognition
The City recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining representative for
employees in bargaining Unit II defined as all full-time Lead Telecommunicators, Telecommunicators,
Community Service Officers, and Records Clerks employed by the Police Department of the City
(hereinafter referred to as "employees"), but excluding all other employees, including, but not limited
to: all sworn officers covered by the Unit I collective bargaining agreement (as defined therein); the
Telecommunications Supervisor, Records Supervisor, secretary to the Chief of Police; all part-time or
temporary employees including part-time school crossing guards; all non -Police Department
employees; and all managerial, supervisory, confidential, professional, short-term, security and craft
employees, as defined by the IPLRA (Illinois Public Labor Relations Act).
Section 1.2 Duty of Fair Representation
The Union recognizes its responsibility as the exclusive bargaining agent for the employees in the
bargaining unit covered by this Agreement, and Council agrees to fulfill its duty to fairly represent all
employees in the bargaining unit whether or not they are members of the Union.
Section 1.3 New Classifications
The Employer shall promptly notify the Union of its decision to implement any new classifications
pertaining to work of a nature performed by employees in the bargaining unit. If the new classification
is a successor title to a classification covered by the Agreement and the job duties are not significantly
altered or changed, the new classification shall automatically become a part of this Agreement. If the
new classification contains a significant part of the work now being done by any of the classifications
covered by this Agreement, or whose functions are similar to employees in this bargaining unit, and
the new job classification may fall within the bargaining unit, the parties will then meet within thirty
(30) days to review the proposed classification and, if unable to reach agreement as to its inclusion or
exclusion from the unit, the Employer and Council agree to jointly petition the ILRB (Illinois Labor
Relations Board) to seek the necessary unit clarification.
The Employer shall be free to implement its decision pending the outcome of the unit clarification
petition and/or negotiations. If the inclusion of the proposed classification is agreed to by the parties or
found appropriate under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, the parties shall then negotiate as to
the proper pay grade for the classification.

Revised CBA 07/17/23
Section 1A Lead Telecommunicators
The position of Lead Telecommunicator shall be appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Chief
of Police. Appointment to the position of Lead Telecommunicator shall be made from within the
department. If the City, in its discretion, determines there is no qualified internal candidate for the
position, it may appoint a candidate from outside the organization.
In the event a Lead Telecommunicator either voluntarily surrenders the position or is demoted for
cause, they shall then be assigned the position of Telecommunicator provided a position is available.
If there is no available Telecommunicator position, the City shall follow the language set forth in
Section 6.4 (Layoff) of this agreement.
ARTICLE 2 UNION SECURITY AND RIGHTS
Section 2.1 Dues Check -Off
While this Agreement is in effect, the City will deduct the appropriate bi-weekly amount of dues from
each employee in the bargaining unit who has filed with the City a lawful, voluntary, effective check
off authorization form. Check -off authorization forms shall be supplied to the City by the Union, and
will be provided to newly hired employees at the same time such employees are requested to complete
other required employment documents. The City will honor all executed check off authorization forms
received no later than ten (10) working days (i.e., days the City's administrative offices are open) prior
to the next deduction date. If a conflict exists between the check -off authorization form and this
Article, the terms of this Article and Agreement control. The City shall provide the Union with an
opportunity to meet with all newly hired bargaining unit members on or before their respective starting
dates for the purpose of explaining the benefits of membership in the Union. This privilege is subject
to being discontinued in the event that a labor organization other than the Union should file a valid
representation petition with the ISLRB claiming to represent a majority of the bargaining unit
members. Total deductions collected for each month shall be remitted by the City to the Council by the
tenth (1011) of the following month, together with a list of employees for whom deductions have been
made. Dues deducted shall be sent to the official address designated in writing to the Employer by the
Council. The Union agrees to refund to the employee any amount paid to the Council in error on
account of this dues deduction provision. Dues shall be withheld and remitted to the Council unless or
until such time as the City receives ten (10) working days written notice of revocation of dues check-
off from an employee, or other timely notice of an employee's death, transfer from covered
employment, termination of covered employment, or when there are insufficient funds available in the
employee's earnings after withholding all other legal and required deductions. Information concerning
dues not deducted under this Article shall be forwarded to the Union, and this action will discharge the
City's only responsibility with regard to such cases. The City shall provide the Union with a copy of
any revocation of dues deduction authorization within seven (7) calendar days of the date the
revocation is received by the City. Semi-annually, the City shall provide the Union with a list of all
employees in the bargaining unit, their dues status, and the amount paid in the previous six-month
period. Deductions shall cease at such time as a strike or work stoppage occurs in violation of Article 9
No Strike -No Lockout).
The actual dues amounts to be deducted shall be certified in writing to the City by the Council. Dues
shall be uniform in dollar amount for all employees in order to ease the Employer's burden of
administering this provision. The Council may change the fixed uniform dollar amounts of its regular
monthly dues fees once each calendar year during the life of this Agreement. The Council will give the
City thirty (30) calendar days' notice of any such change in the amount of uniform dues to be
0
Revised CBA 07/17/23
deducted. Bona fide religious objections to the payment of dues shall be resolved consistent with the
provisions of the IPLRA, or as amended, and the rules of the State Labor Board.

The City will make available space on a bulletin board in the Police Department for the posting of
official Union business which is germane to its role as the exclusive bargaining representative and
which are not defamatory or derogatory in nature. The Union will limit the posting of Union business
to such bulletin board. The posting of political materials shall be limited to notice of meetings wherein
political issues will be addressed, proposed agenda of political topics to be discussed, and the posting
of any final action taken by the Council with respect to said political issues via the posting of meeting
minutes.
Section 2.3 Union Indemnification
The Union shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and its officials, representatives and
agents against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability (monetary or otherwise)
and for all legal costs that shall arise out of or by reason of action taken or not taken by the City in
complying with the provisions of this Article.
Section 2.4 Union Stewards
For purposes of the Agreement, the term "Union Stewards" shall refer to Union employees designated
by the bargaining unit as representatives of the bargaining unit and "Union Stewards" shall refer to the
Union's duly elected union stewards. The Union will maintain (and keep current) with the Employer a
complete written list of its Union Stewards and other agents (including their addresses and telephone
numbers) who will deal with the City.
ARTICLE 3 MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
Except as specifically limited by the express provisions of this Agreement, the City retains all
traditional rights to manage and direct the affairs of the City in all of its various aspects and to manage

Revised CBA 07/17/23
Lead Telecommunicators/ Telecommunicators:
When regular shift required overtime becomes available, it will be offered in the following steps:
Shift Shortage with no Lead Telecommunicator working the short shift
1. The entire time block shall be first offered by seniority to the Lead Telecommunicators not
scheduled to work on the day of the overtime opportunity.
2. The entire time block shall then be offered by seniority to the full-time Telecommunicators not
scheduled to work on the day of the overtime opportunity. If still not filled,
3. In no less than two (2) hour increments, first the Lead Telecommunicators by seniority will be
offered the overtime, then by seniority the Telecommunicators will be offered the overtime.
a. If a Lead Telecommunicator or Telecommunicator with less seniority volunteers for
more hours than another, that overtime opportunity will be awarded to the full-time
employee volunteering for the most hours, regardless of seniority.
4. Any remaining available hours will be offered to Part -Time Telecommunicators.
5. If the hours remain unfilled, using reverse seniority a Telecommunicator who is scheduled to
be off duty will be ordered to work the required overtime.
6. If no Telecommunicator is available to fill the hours, a Lead Telecommunicator who is
scheduled to be off duty will be ordered to work the required overtime. For the purposes of this
process, seniority for Lead Telecommunicators shall be determined by date of appointment to
that classification.
Shift Shortage with a Lead Telecommunicator working the short shift
1. The entire time block shall be first offered by seniority to the full-time Telecommunicators not
scheduled to work on the day of the overtime opportunity.
2. The entire time block shall then be offered by seniority to the Lead Telecommunicators not
scheduled to work on the day of the overtime opportunity. If still not filled,
3. In no less than two (2) hour increments, first the Telecommunicators by seniority will be
offered the overtime, then by seniority the Lead Telecommunicators will be offered the
overtime.
a. If a Lead Telecommunicator or Telecommunicator with less seniority volunteers for
more hours than another, that overtime opportunity will be awarded to the full-time
employee volunteering for the most hours, regardless of seniority.
4. Any remaining available hours will be offered to Part -Time Telecommunicators.
5. If the hours remain unfilled, using reverse seniority a Telecommunicator who is scheduled to
be off duty will be ordered to work the required overtime.
6. If no Telecommunicator is available to fill the hours, a Lead Telecommunicator who is
scheduled to be off duty will be ordered to work the required overtime. For the purposes of this
process, seniority for Lead Telecommunicators shall be determined by date of appointment to
that classification.
If the Dispatch Center Supervisor is not working, a Lead Telecommunicator will make all calls
necessary to follow the above -described method of allocation of overtime. If a Lead
Telecommunicator is not working, members of the bargaining unit will make all calls necessary to
complete the process. If a member needs to be ordered to report for duty based on step 5, the Dispatch
11
Revised CBA 07/17/23
Center supervisor or a Lead Telecommunicator will make the order. In the event they are not working
the on -duty Patrol Sergeant or Patrol Officer4n-Charge will order the employee to report for duty.
If an error in providing these opportunities occurs, the only relief available to the member of the
bargaining unit who has lost out on an overtime opportunity will be limited to giving that employee the
primary right to work overtime when the next overtime opportunity exists, provided that each step has
been followed correctly. Employees who volunteer for an overtime assignment, regardless of full-time
or part-time status, cannot be removed from that assignment by a more senior employee unless they
volunteer to give it up.
Section 5.7 Shift Trades
By mutual agreement between employees and with the consent of the Chief or his designee, subject to
the operating needs of the department, individual employees may bid shift changes in addition to the
annual bid on a daily or longer basis.
Section 5.8 Shift Assignments and Bidding
Consistent with the following limitations, as well as scheduling and staffing requirements, Bargaining
Unit employees shall be able to exercise their seniority for selection of shift assignments. Such
selections, as limited by the bidding limitations specified below, shall be made on an annual basis,
based upon seniority as of the date the period of shift bidding commences. Shift bidding for the next
calendar year will commence on September 1 and conclude no later than October 31. Bargaining Unit
members will bid by ranking all shifts one (1) through four (4), with one (1) being the most preferred
and four (4) being the least preferred. Bargaining unit employees will have two (2) working shifts in
which to bid. A bargaining unit employee who does not bid within the time allotted may bid at any
time thereafter, subject to availability. Upon completion of the bidding process, the City will complete
shift assignments, and reserves the right to increase staffing, as the City, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate.
Bidding Limitations: Lead Telecommunicators, Telecommunicators, and Community Service Officers
shall bid their shifts by seniority until all shifts have been filled. In the event the City only has one (1)
shift available for a job classification or only one (1) employee within a classification, no shift bidding
will occur.
Shift Vacancies: If after shift bidding is complete, a vacancy occurs (60 calendar days or longer), the
initial immediate vacancy will be offered by seniority to the employees who initially bid the rotation of
the vacancy until the shift is filled voluntarily. Any remaining vacancies created will be reasonably
filled by the Chief of Police or his designee. No further bidding of shifts will occur until the normal
annual shift bidding procedure occurs. The shift bidding provisions above shall begin on September ls'
to be effective for the calendar year beginning January Is', and shall continue thereafter in subsequent
calendar years.
Section 5.9 Training Pay
Employees who act as trainers shall be compensated at a rate of one (1) hour of the trainer's regular
hourly rate for each shift during which they have trained for at least three (3) hours. No more than two
(2) trainers can receive the one (1) hour compensation per trainee per day. Employees who act as
trainers shall be compensated at a rate of one & one-half (1+1/2) hour of the trainer's regular hourly
rate for each shift during which they have trained for a full twelve (12) hours.

For purposes of this Agreement, seniority shall be defined as an employee's length of continuous
service from the last date of beginning continuous full-time employment in a position covered by this
Agreement. Seniority shall accumulate during all authorized paid leaves of absence and during
suspensions of thirty (30) days or less. Seniority shall accumulate from the first day of an authorized
unpaid leave of absence or lay off for a period of one year from the date of leave or layoff. Conflicts of
seniority shall be determined on the basis of the order of the employee's names on the eligibility list
from which they were hired.
Section 6.2 Probationary Period
All new employees and those hired after loss of seniority shall be considered probationary employees
until they have completed a probationary period of twelve (12) months of work. Time absent from
duty or not served for any reason such as, including but not limited to: unpaid leave of absence, duty
related injury or illness, jury duty, military leave, etc. shall not apply toward satisfaction of the
probationary period, except for holidays, vacation and paid sick leave. Probationary employees shall be
entitled to all rights, privileges and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except that during an
employee's probationary period, the employee may be terminated without cause. Such probationary
employee shall have no recourse to the grievance procedure to contest a layoff or termination.
Furthermore, there shall be no seniority among probationary employees for purposes of layoffs. Upon

Section 6.3 Seniority List
On or about September 15 each year, the City will provide the Union with a seniority list of all
employees in the bargaining unit setting forth each employee's seniority date and rank. The City shall

writing to the Police Chief, an updated seniority list will be provided to the Union during the course of
the year.
Section 6.4 LaYoff
The City, at its discretion, shall determine whether layoffs are necessary. If it is determined that layoffs
are necessary, employees covered by this Agreement will be laid off in accordance with their length of
service, provided that, however, probationary employees shall be selected for layoff based on relative
skill and ability as determined by the Chief, and provided further that the remaining employees are
qualified to do the remaining work without further training. In the event a non -probationary employee
is laid off ahead of a probationary employee subject to the aforementioned provision, said non -
probationary employee or employees shall be given an additional twelve (12) months (up to a total of
twenty-four (24) months) for purposes of recall pursuant to Section 6.6.
Section 6.5 Recall
Employees (including probationary employees) who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list, in the
reverse order of their layoff, for a period of twelve (12) months. If there is a recall, employees who are
still on the recall list shall be recalled, in the reverse order of their layoff, provided they meet the City's
medical, physical fitness, and mental standards and are fully qualified to perform the work to which
they are recalled without further training. An employee who is recalled and fails to meet such
standards at the time of recall shall be passed over and returned to the top of the recall list; such an
13
Revised CBA 07/17/23
employee will be eligible for a second recall for a firture vacancy so long as he remains on the recall
list. An employee's seniority will be terminated if he fails such standards upon a second recall.
Employees who are eligible for recall shall be given at least thirty (30) calendar days' notice of recall
with the first of the thirty (30) days being the date the notice to the employee is postmarked. The notice
of recall shall be sent to the employee by certified mail, return receipt requested, with a copy similarly
mailed or personally delivered to a designated representative of the Union. The employee must notify
the Police Chief or designee of his intention to return to work within three (3) calendar days after
receiving notice of recall (but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of postmark of the

by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the mailing address last provided by the employee, it
being the obligation and responsibility of each employee to provide the Police Chief or designee with
his latest mailing address. If an employee fails to timely respond to a recall notice or if an employee
either declines the recall or does not report to work as scheduled, his name shall be removed from the
recall list. If the City has not heard from the employee within thirty (30) calendar days of mailing a
properly addressed notice of recall, or if the notice is returned as undeliverable by the United States
Postal Service, whichever occurs first, the employee's name shall be removed from the recall list.

The parties recognize that the Board of Police Commissioners of the City of McHenry has no statutory
authority over the employees covered by this Labor Agreement. The City agrees that non -probationary
covered members may be disciplined only for Just Cause. Any employee who violates any rule,
regulation, or policy, of the City of McHenry or the City of McHenry Police Department, or who
otherwise engages in misconduct, or whose performance is deficient may be subject to disciplinary
action. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of McHenry and the collective
14
Revised CBA 07/17/23
bargaining unit shall take precedence over the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual of the City of
McHenry in the case of conflicting language. This Section shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any
bargaining right by the Union. An unpaid suspension day will be defined as a block up to eight (8)
hours. Example: Management implements a two (2) day unpaid suspension, the total number of hours
served will be sixteen (16) hours.
Section 7.2 Progressive Discipline
As a matter of policy, the City recognizes the principles of progressive and corrective discipline, where
applicable, but is generally the City's policy to progress through each step. However, nothing shall
foreclose the City from seeking discipline commensurate with the offense. The City also acknowledges
that non -probationary employees may only be disciplined for Just Cause. The City will notify the
employee of pending disciplinary action in writing. Disciplinary measures will be administered by the
Chief of Police or designee in an objective and constructive manner. These measures are intended to
motivate the employee toward proper conduct in the future. Matters pertaining to employee
performance/behavior problems should not be discussed with or disclosed to anyone except those who
must be informed. Listed below indicates the types of disciplinary actions that may be implemented:
• Verbal Warning
• Employee Contact Form
• Letter of Direction

• Termination
Section 7.3 Interrogation Rights
If the Employer intends to conduct an inquiry, investigation, or interrogation of an employee which

decision, 1 PERI par. 2020 (ISLRB, 1985). Nothing in this Section is intended to or should be
construed to waive employee's right to Labor Council representation during questioning that the
employee reasonably believes may lead to disciplinary action. The City will provide no less than three
(3) business days' advance notice of any discipline, including any meeting to discuss pending
discipline in order to provide the covered member an opportunity to have Labor Council representation
present. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit or waive the covered members' rights. The
interrogations shall take place at the McHenry Police Department or other facility at the direction of
the investigating Officer and at a reasonable time of day.
An interrogation, for purposes of this Labor Agreement, shall be defined as when an employee is
subjected to formal oral or written questions by the employer which are specifically relating to matters
which could result in disciplinary action against the employee being questioned. Requests/orders for
employees to write supplemental reports, are not considered interrogations. No employee covered by
this Labor Agreement shall be subjected to interrogation without first being informed in writing of the
nature of the investigation and/or complaints. The disclosure shall be sufficient so as to reasonably
apprise the employee of the nature of the investigation. The employee under investigation shall be
informed of the name, rank, or command in charge of the investigation, the interrogator, and all
E

then bear the entire cost of said written transcript. No employee shall be interrogated without first
being advised in writing that the covered member has the right to have a Labor Council representative
present to advise the covered member at any stage of any interrogation. An employee under
investigation may request Labor Council representation at any time before or during the interrogation.
Section 7.4 Pre -disciplinary Conference

occurs, the Department Head, Supervisor, employee, and a representative provided by the Labor
Council (if requested by the employee) shall meet and confer over the facts giving rise to the proposed
disciplinary action. The Employer shall disclose the alleged facts giving rise to disciplinary action and
the employee will be allowed the opportunity to correct factual errors and/or mistaken facts, to provide

the Lead Telecommunicator will have priority. Time off requests made in Step 4 shall be subject to
the approval of the Chief of Police (or designee) and must meet the 24-hour minimum notice
requirement of this agreement and staffing levels established by the Chief of Police.
All Other Vacation Requests: After the initial vacation bidding process (Steps 1 through 3) and Step 4
are complete, any remaining vacation requests shall be reviewed and approved/denied by the Chief of
Police or designee on a first -come, first -served basis. In the event of two (2) or more requests for
remaining vacation use, seniority shall prevail in awarding vacation requests.
Additional time off requests shall be approved by the Chief of Police or designee based upon staffing
levels which are managed by the City. Remaining vacation hours, not selected in the seniority
vacation bidding process, may be used in increments of four (4) hours.
Accrual: Vacation allowances are earned on a calendar year basis with the following exceptions. After
six (6) months of employment, a new hire may use up to forty (40) hours vacation time prior to their
first anniversary date. The use of such borrowed vacation hours shall be deducted from vacation
accruals posted on their first anniversary date.
Beginning the following January 1 and every January 1 thereafter, such employees will receive the
vacation hours they accrued during the prior calendar year for use in the calendar year in which they
are given. Second, on an employee's anniversary date of employment in a year (after the employee's
first) in which the employee becomes eligible to earn additional vacation hours (the employee's sixth,
thirteenth, and twentieth anniversaries); the employee will receive the additional hours on their
anniversary for use during the remainder of the calendar year.
On the following January 1, the employee will receive the vacation hours accrued during the prior
calendar year based upon the new rate of vacation accrual. Vacations to be scheduled and taken during
a given calendar year are vacation allowances earned during the previous calendar year or provided to
the employee on their anniversary date of employment for use during the remainder of the calendar
year. All vacation hours must be taken by the end of the calendar year in which they are to be

Revised (BA 07/17/23
scheduled, unless the employee through a written request receives authorization by the Chief of Police
to carry over vacation hours (not to exceed forty (40) hours) or sell back vacation hours or a
combination of the two. Such requests shall not reasonably be withheld. Employees may take
vacation time in four (4) hour increments. The Chief of Police or designee reserves the right to cancel
any or all approved vacation leaves in advance of there being taken and/or to recall any employees
from vacations in progress. Such cancellations and revocations shall not be unreasonable.
ARTICLE 12 SICK LEAVE
Section 12.1 Purpose and Allowance
Sick leave with pay is provided as a benefit in recognition that employees do contract various illnesses
from time4o4ime and that their financial resources may be diminished in such instances if pay is
discontinued, and that it may not be in the best interest or health of the employee or fellow employees
to work while sick. Any employee contracting or incurring an non -service connected sickness or
disability (except where the injury or illness is incurred while the employee is performing compensated
service outside of his employment with the City where compensation for such injury or illness is
provided by the outside employer, i.e., workers' compensation, sick leave, etc.) shall receive sick leave
with pay as set forth in this Article.
Section 12.2 Hours Earned in Accumulation
Employees shall be allowed eight (8) hours of sick leave for each month of service (which equals a
total accumulation of ninety-six (96) hours per year). Sick leave shall be earned by an employee for
any month in which the employee is compensated for more than eighty (80) "hours of work." For
purposes of this Section only, accrued benefit days other than sick leave shall be considered "hours of
work"; no other paid or unpaid absence from duty shall be counted as "hours of work." Sick leave
cannot be taken before it is actually earned.
SectionNotification
Notification of absence due to sickness shall be given to an individual designated by the Police Chief
(normally the Shift Supervisor on duty) as soon as possible on the first day of such absence and every
day thereafter (unless this requirement is waived by the Chief in writing), but no later than one (1) hour
before the start of the employee's work shift. Failure to properly report an illness without good cause
may be considered as absence without pay and may subject the employee to discipline.
Section 12.4 Medical Examination
The City may, at its discretion, require an employee to submit a physician's verification of illness, and
such verification normally will be required for sick leave of three (3) consecutive duty shifts or more.
The City also may require a physician's verification that the employee is well enough to return to
work. A medical certification/or verification of illness is acceptable as provided by a physician, or
physician's assistant or nurse practitioner. Falsification of any verification of illness shall be grounds
for disciplinary action, which may include reimbursement by the employee to the City for sick leave
benefits wrongfully obtained. The City, at its option, may require an employee to submit to an
examination by a physician or other medical professional chosen by the City. If the City requires an
employee to submit to an examination by a physician designated by the City, the City will pay the
medical expenses to the extent they are not covered by insurance (i.e., the employee shall not be
responsible for such costs).
Section 12.5 Sick Leave Utilization
Revised CBA 07/17/23
Sick leave shall be used in no less than one (1) hour increments. Sick leave may be utilized for the
purposes specified in Section 12.1, or as needed as a result of a family member's illness, injury or
medical appointment as defined by the Illinois Employee Sick Leave Act, up to six (6) days of
accumulated sick leave per calendar year for absences due to illness, injury and medical appointments

stepparent, or a party to a Civil union as defined by the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil
Union Act (750ILCS 750 to seek medical attention for an existing medical condition, or for a non -
elective medical procedure. For purposes of Section 12.6(b), sick leave may accrue to a maximum of
1000 hours of sick leave as of the end of each fiscal year. There shall be no maximum accumulation or
cap on sick days for use in accordance with Section 12.1. To the extent permitted by law, employees
on sick leave are required to remain at home unless hospitalized, visiting their doctor, or acting
pursuant to reasonable instructions for care.
Section 12.6 Unused Sick Leave
(a) A full-time bargaining unit member in good standing who has used less than twenty-four (24) hours
during any calendar year may elect to receive a sick leave cash payment for difference between
twenty-four (24) hours and the number of sick leave hours actually used (twenty-four (24) hours
maximum). The number of days for which such employee elects cash compensation shall be deducted
from such employee's accumulated sick leave. Employees who elect to receive such payment for any
calendar year must notify the Chief thereof by January 31 the following year, with such payment to be
made by February 28 of such following year.
(b) A full-time bargaining unit member in good standing (i) who has been placed on permanent

(1000) hours, provided the employee has accumulated at least four -hundred (400) hours of unused sick
leave will be paid fifty percent (50%) for all sick leave hours up to one -thousand (1000), for a
maximum of five hundred (500) hours of pay. In no event, shall any employee be entitled to the

ARTICLE 17 EMPLOYEE ALCOHOL AND DRUG TESTING
Section 17.1 Statement of Policy
It is the policy of the City of McHenry that the public has the absolute right to expect persons
employed by the City in its Police Department will be free from the effects of drugs and alcohol. The
City, as the employer, has the right to expect its employees to report for work fit and able for duty. The
purposes of this policy shall be achieved in such a manner as not to violate any established rights of the
employees of the Police Department,
Section 17.2 Prohibitions
Except as ordered to do so in the line of duty, employees shall be prohibited from:
(a) Consuming, possessing or being under the influence of alcohol at any time during the course of
the work day or anywhere on any City premises, including City buildings, properties, or City
owned vehicles;
(b) Possessing, using, selling, purchasing or delivering any illegal drug at any time and at any
place, or abusing any prescription drug;
(c) Failing to report to the employee's supervisor any known adverse side effects of medication or
prescription drugs which the employee may be taking.
Section 17.3 Drug and Alcohol Testing Permitted
The City shall have the right to require an employee to submit immediately to alcohol or drug testing
on a specified situation basis (as outlined below) or if the City has reasonable suspicion to believe that:
(a) an employee is being affected by the use of alcohol; or (b) has abused prescription drugs; or (c) has
used illegal drugs. The foregoing shall not limit the right of the City to conduct any tests it may deem
appropriate for persons seeking employment prior to their date of hire. Specified situation testing may
occur in the following circumstances:
(a) If an employee is involved in a motor vehicle accident or otherwise damages City or personal
property while in the performance of his duty;
(b) If an employee is injured, or injures another while in the performance of his duty;
(c) If an employee is to be promoted to a higher paying position or recalled from layoff; or
(d) If an employee has experienced excessive absenteeism or tardiness under circumstances giving
rise to a suspicion of off -duty drug or alcohol abuse.
Section 17.4 Order to Submit to Testing
At the time an employee is directed to submit to testing authorized by this Agreement, the City shall
provide the employee with a written notice, setting forth the objective facts and reasonable inferences
drawn from those facts which have formed the basis of the City's decision to test. The employee shall
be given a reasonable opportunity to consult with a Union representative at the time the notice is given.
Refusal to submit to such test may subject the employee to discipline, but the employee's taking of the
test shall not be construed as a waiver of any objection or rights that he or she may possess.
32
Revised CBA 07/17/23
Section 17.5 Test to be Conducted
In conducting the testing authorized by this Agreement, the City shall:
(a) Use only a clinical laboratory or hospital facility that is licensed pursuant to the Illinois Clinical
Laboratory Act that has or is capable of being accredited by the Substance Abuse Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
(b) Establish a chain of custody procedure for both the sample collection and testing that will
ensure the integrity of the identity of each sample and test result. No employee covered by this
Agreement shall be permitted at any time to become a part of such chain of custody.
(c) Collect a sufficient sample of the same bodily fluid or material from an employee to allow for
initial screening, a confirmatory test, and a sufficient amount to be set aside reserved for later
testing if requested by the employee.
(d) Collect samples in such a manner as to preserve the individual employee's right to privacy
while insuring a high degree of security for the sample and its freedom from adulteration.
Any employee ordered to submit to testing shall not be witnessed by anyone while submitting a
sample, except in circumstances where the laboratory or facility does not have a "clean room"
for submitting samples, or where there is reasonable suspicion that the employee may attempt
to compromise the accuracy of the testing procedure.
(e) Confirm any sample that tests positive in the initial screening for drugs by testing the second
portion of the same sample by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or an
equivalent of better scientifically accurate and accepted method that provides quantitative data
about the detected drug or metabolites.
(f) Provide the employee tested with an opportunity to have the additional sample tested by a
clinical laboratory or hospital facility of the employee's own choosing, at the employee's own
expense; provided the employee notifies the City within seventy-two (72) hours of receiving
the results of the test and provided further that the laboratory or clinic and the testing
procedure, including chain -of -custody for the transfer of such sample, meets or exceeds the
standards established in this Agreement and is confirmed by a neutral third party.
(g) Require that the laboratory or hospital facility report to the City that a blood or urine sample is
positive only if both the initial screening and confirmation test are positive for a particular drug.
The parties agree that should any information concerning such testing or the results thereof be
obtained by the City, inconsistent with the understandings expressed herein (e.g., billings for
testing that reveal the nature or number of tests administered), the City will not use such
information in any manner or form adverse to the employee's interests.
(h) Require that with regard to alcohol testing, for the purpose of determining whether the
employee is under the influence of alcohol, test results showing an alcohol concentration of .02
percent or more based upon the grams of alcohol per 100 millimeters of blood shall be
considered positive.
(i) Provide each employee tested with a copy of all information and reports received by the City in
connection with the testing and the results.

reassignment or relief from duty with pay during the tendency of any testing procedure. Any such
emergency reassignment or relief from duty shall be immediately discontinued in the event of a
negative test result, and the employee shall be fully reinstated to unrestricted duty status. This Section
shall not in any way limit the City's right to take such action as it deems appropriate if an employee is
determined to have engaged in conduct prohibited by Section 17.2 of this Article or in conduct that is
otherwise subject to discipline.
Section 17.6 Disciplinary Action

drugs, failure to report to the Chief any known adverse side effects of medication or prescription drugs
which the employee may be taking; and consumption, possession or being under the influence of
alcohol while on duty, or on City premises (except when authorized in the line of duty), shall be cause

threat to the property and safety of others. Such employee shall be afforded the opportunity, at his
option, to use accumulated paid leave or take an unpaid leave of absence pending treatment.

or take an unpaid leave of absence pending treatment. Upon successful completion of the treatment,
the employee shall be returned to his position. This Article also shall not in any way limit the City's
