This unit of workers shall for the purpose of identification be titled the SEIU Unit. A term-funded worker shall be defined as a worker in the job classification of Recreation and Community Services Program Coordinator, hired to work in a program that is subject to annual renewal or time-limited funding, including grant-funded programs and/or programs funded by service contracts with outside agencies. This group includes former contract employees who were added to the unit as of December 7, 2007 and designated term-funded workers as of July 1, 2015. The classifications used for term-funded workers are subject to change by mutual agreement only. Term-funded workers shall be employed for a maximum of one fiscal year, subject to annual renewal. The limited term is not a guarantee of employment for any specified period of time. Except where otherwise specified in this agreement, all Memorandum of Understanding provisions for term-funded workers shall be equal to those of regular workers. At the end of each fiscal year, the City shall prepare a list of casual workers who were hired to work less than twenty (20) hours per week (less than 1,000 hours per year) but who, during the immediately preceding twelve months, have been regularly scheduled to work and have worked a minimum of one-thousand (1,000) hours. Effective on the first day of the first pay period at least thirty (30) days following the fiscal year in which the worker met the regular and continuous, and one-thousand (1,000) hours per year standard, the City will provide SEIU with the opportunity to meet and confer over whether such workers shall be added to the SEIU representation unit. “Regularly scheduled to work” shall be defined as not having a consecutive break in service of thirty (30) calendar days or more. 1.2 Employer Recognition The City Manager is the representative of the City of Redwood City, hereinafter referred to as "the City", in employer-employee relations pursuant to the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution of the City adopted August 7, 1972, and periodically revised subject to the provisions of Government Code section 3507.
