Merit Appeals Board October 4, 2024 <br />We have HR Quarterly meetings with all of the HR Reps. in the County. So, at that meeting, we <br />will also be notifying them that this information is posted online so that they'll be aware of it. <br />They can provide it to employees, should they have questions. And then, we'll also be going <br />over with them during the HR Quarterly —making sure that letters that the departments are <br />sending out with notification of any kind of appeal rights that they're using the correct verbiage <br />to match the Internal Complaint Procedures or the Rules of the Merit Appeals Board. <br />So, just wanting to make sure that the language is consistent and standard based on the <br />procedures and the Rules. So, trying to get the information out there to people on this <br />standardized manner. <br />So, that was one of the recommendations or request from the Board, so I just wanted to make <br />sure you folks know that that had been completed and where the information is available. <br />And then, you also received the regular report. <br />MR.

Like, contract employees or <br />exempt employees, who <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, contract employees are actually part —well, there's —for contract <br />employees, if their contract is over a certain period of time, they do become part of a bargaining <br />unit. But this would be for excluded managerial employees that are not part of a bargaining unit. <br />So, our <br />MR. KUNZ: Exempt employees —are there exempt employees? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Exempt employees areso, for example, our —an exempt position is that <br />relates to civil service status. So, for example, the Office of Housing —all of the positions in the <br />Office of Housing are exempt, but they are included in the union. Yeah. <br />So, this that last line would reference our excluded managerial —any positions that are <br />excluded from —yeah. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Should it read, "exempt employees?" <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: No, they're not —because "exempt" relates to civil service status, not union <br />representation because employees who are included are able to file grievances. <br />Page 13 <br />
