THIS AGREEMENT made and executed this 26th day of January 2020, by
and between PACIFICORP d/b/a ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
COMPANY, a corporation, its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to
as the "COMPANY," and LOCAL UNION NO. 57 OF THE
INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS, an
affiliate of the AFL-CIO, hereinafter referred to as the "UNION,"
WITNESSETH:
THIS AGREEMENT shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and
assigns. The Company promises that its operations covered by this agreement
shall not be sold, merged, conveyed, or otherwise transferred or assigned to
any successor without securing the agreement of the successor to assume the
Company's obligations under this Agreement. The Company expressly
authorizes the Union to seek judicial relief, without exhausting the grievance
machinery, in cases involving successorship.
That for the purpose of facilitating the peaceful adjustment of differences that
may arise from time to time between the parties hereto, and to promote
harmony and efficiency to the end that the Company, the Union and the
general public may mutually benefit,the parties hereto contract and agree with
each other as follows:
1
Article 1
Introduction and Recognition
1.1 The Company is a public utility engaged in the public service of generating,
transmitting and distributing electric power and energy in the states of Utah, Idaho
and Wyoming. The Union has been designated and selected by a majority of the
employees of the Company, excluding management and those supervisory officials
who have authority to hire and fire, as their representative for the purpose of
collective bargaining, and pursuant to the provisions of the Labor Management
Relations Act of 1947 (29 USCA 159 (a)) has been certified by the National Labor
Relations Board as the exclusive representative of all such employees for the purpose
of collective bargaining in respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of employment and
other conditions of employment. The Union recognizes the right of each employee
to join or refrain from joining any labor organization and will not unduly solicit
nonmember employees to become members. The Union will act fairly and
impartially for all employees for whom it shall be a bargaining agency.
1.2 The Company, to facilitate the continuous performance of such service, will
meet with the Business Manager of the Union in reference to any matter coming
within the scope of this Agreement, and will cooperate with the Union in its efforts
to promote harmony and efficiency among all of the employees of the Company.
1.3 Work of the type regularly and customarily performed by bargaining unit
employees which is being performed by employees excluded from the bargaining
unit by the NLRB order of May 28, 1971, in cases 27-UC-19 and 27-UC-20 on the
basis that such employees were supervisors, shall not be performed by such
supervisors except to the extent such work was performed by them prior to May 28,
1971, nor shall replacements for such supervisors exceed the amount of bargaining
unit work performed by their predecessors. Further, in no event shall supervisors, as
defined above, perform work regularly and customarily performed by bargaining
unit employees on a routine basis which exceeds 20 percent of such supervisory
employees' average monthly work effort.
Work performed by supervisory employees as defined in A above, necessitated
because life or property is in danger, shall not be considered work regularly or
customarily performed by bargaining unit employees for the purpose of applying
Section A hereof.
1.4 The Union acknowledges that the employees covered by this Agreement, will
not, during the term of this Agreement, be called upon or permitted to cease or
abstain from the continuous performance of the duties pertaining to the positions
held by them with the Company; and the Company acknowledges that it will not,
2
during the term of this Agreement, undertake to lockout or prevent such continuity
of performance by said employees insofar as such performance is required in the
operation of the Company. Any difference that may arise between the above parties
during the term of this Agreement shall be settled in the manner hereinafter provided
in Article 5.
1.5 The Union, on behalf of its members (who are employees of the Company),
represents that they will individually and collectively perform loyal and efficient
work and service and that they will cooperate in promoting and advancing the
welfare of the Company and the protection of its service to the public at all times.
1.6 In the event mandatory laws or government rules or regulations applicable to,
or in conflict with, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall become effective
and binding upon the parties hereto with respect to such conflicting provisions, this
Agreement shall be subject to modification to the extent required thereby.
1.7 Should the Company acquire any properties in Utah, Idaho or Wyoming
within the recognized jurisdiction of Local 57 IBEW of a public utility nature, or
should current properties become available for representation by Local 57, the
parties will meet for the purpose of establishing working rules, wages and hours for
the property so acquired.
1.8 Should the Company establish any new department or materially rearrange
any of its present departments so that the definitions or rules then in effect will not
apply, then the parties hereto will meet at least 30 days before said change is to be
made for the purpose of arranging classifications, wages, hours and schedules of
work.
1.9 All employees of the Company coming within the classifications covered by
this Agreement after one month's continuous employment should and, where
permitted by law, shall be required to share equally in the cost of maintaining and
operating the collective bargaining agency in accordance with its rules.
1.10 All provisions of this general Agreement are to apply unless specifically
covered or modified by a Department Rule.
1.11 Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be used to violate any
municipal ordinance, federal or state law, regulation, or safety standard, or any local
government requirement, nor is it intended to allow public personal danger to
continue to the detriment of the general public, the Company or an employee.
1.12 This Agreement shall be subject to amendment at any time by mutual consent
of the parties hereto. Such amendment must be reduced to writing, state the effective
date of the amendment, and be executed in the same manner as this Agreement.
3
1.13 Neither the Company nor the Union will discriminate against any employee
or prospective employee, in application of any of the terms of this Agreement,
because of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability or veteran status.
The Company and Union will cooperate to provide a productive and harassment-
free work environment.
1.14 The supervision and control of all operations and the direction of all working
forces, including the right to hire, to suspend or discharge for proper cause, or to
transfer employees or to relieve employees from duty because of lack of work, or
other legitimate reasons, are vested exclusively in the Company. The Company
retains the right to exercise discipline in the interest of good service and the proper
conduct of its business. An employee, who has been laid off, disciplined or
discharged or the employee's representative shall be advised of the reason or reasons
for such action upon request, and shall be entitled to a hearing as hereinafter provided
in Article 5.
Article 2
Union Business
2.1 An employee who requests time off for Union activities in addition to regular
time off shall be granted such request if such time off will not inconvenience the
operations of the Company or increase its operating expenses; provided, further, that
such employee shall receive no compensation from the Company for such time off.
2.2 The Company will permit the Union to use reasonable space for the purpose
of posting officially signed Union Bulletins upon Company bulletin boards.
2.3 An employee elected to office in the Union or an employee appointed for
duties in the Union with the consent of the Company, who is required to spend a part
or all of his/her time in the employ of the Union, shall not lose his seniority with the
Company on account of time off for Union duties. On returning to work with the
Company, such employee, if qualified, shall be returned to the employee's original
duties at the then prevailing wage scale for such position if such position then exists;
otherwise the employee shall be given such position as the employee may be
qualified to fill. The effect of this provision is that such employee is considered to
be on leave of absence for the period of time in which the employee is employed by
the Union.
2.4 The Union Business Manager shall have the right to appoint a steward to serve
in each of the local units. The stewards will be the representatives of the Union and
will be responsible for the handling of matters related to compliance with provisions
of the Agreement in the units. Stewards will be allowed reasonable time to perform
these duties during working hours without loss of pay. Stewards and local
4
management will work collectively to ensure time spent addressing local issues
respects the operating demands of the work location. The Union will inform the
Company's Labor Relations Directors of the names of stewards and effective dates
of their appointments immediately upon their selection.
2.5 The Company agrees to deduct from each of their regular and regular part-
time employees, the regular monthly union dues as established by Local 57 IBEW.
Before any such deductions will be made, Local 57 shall obtain and deliver to the
Company the signed voluntary written authorization of the employee who has agreed
to these deductions. The amount of those deductions shall be paid to the Financial
Secretary of the Local Union along with a list showing the name of each employee
and the amount deducted. Monthly dues (not including initiation fees, fines or
assessments) shall continue to be deducted until the employee gives written notice
through certified U.S. Mail to Local 57 and the Union notifies the Company to end
this deduction.
2.6 Employees may authorize the Company to make deductions supporting the
Committee on Political Education (C.O.P.E.). These deductions will be forwarded
to the Union and the means to stop these deductions will be the same as outlined
above in Article 2.5.
Article 3
Employment, Seniority, Job Changes
3.1 Employee Classifications
Regular Employee
Employment in a regular position requiring eight hours per day, five days per week
of a regular work week. All Company benefit programs are available to employees
in this classification.
Regular Part-time Employ
Employment in a regularly constituted job requiring at least twenty (20) hours of
work each week. All Company benefit programs are available to this classification
as defined in this agreement.
Temporary Employees
Includes all employees not covered above. Specifically includes employees hired for
periods with known ending dates such as summer vacation relief, construction and

to those programs required by law.
5
Hiring Hall Employees
Includes employees performing work under the jurisdiction of this collective
bargaining agreement in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum of
Agreement included in the appendix of this agreement.
3.1.1 Probationary Period
All regular, regular part-time and temporary employees are subject to an initial
probationary period of 130 work days paid (this includes vacation and sick leave
paid out, but not overtime hours or time on leave from work). Employees may be
terminated during that probationary period for substandard performance or any other
non-discriminatory reason. Employees terminated during their probationary period
do not have access to the grievance procedure within Article 5 of this agreement.
During the initial six-month probation period, a new, regular and regular part-time
employee will be eligible to bid only if he/she is performing satisfactorily.
When a regular part-time employee continues on to regular full-time employment,
no additional probationary period will be required if this change of status has
occurred over 130 workdays paid from the original date of hire as a regular part-time
employee.
When a temporary employee continues on to regular employment, the probationary
period will have commenced with the date such employee last began continuous
work for the Company as a temporary employee.
3.1.2 Filling Vacant Positions
The parties hereto acknowledge that in all cases of bidding, transfer, promotion,
increase or decrease of personnel, or recall after layoff, the following factors shall
be considered, and where factors (2), and (3) are relatively equal, length of
continuous service shall govern:
1) Length of continuous service;
2) Minimum qualifications; knowledge, training, ability, skill, adaptability and
efficiency;
3) Physical fitness;
If there are no current minimum qualifications for a position, the parties will meet
to determine such qualifications that are mutually agreeable.
(Exceptions to the above section are specified in Departmental Working Rules
contained in Article 6.)
6
3.2 Posting , Bidding and Relocation
3.2.1 All positions shall be filled by posting the position for bid. Bids for the position
must be made electronically within seven (7) working days of posting. Employees
must apply on the intranet through the Electronic Application Tracking System. The
receipt date and time stamp will be used regarding timeliness of bid. The employee
with the greatest seniority shall be chosen if qualified as set forth in Section 3.1.2.
These procedures are not restricted within the Power Delivery or Power Supply
agreement, and employees have full access between agreements for these purposes.
Bids will be posted on Monday on the Company bid board for seven (7) working
days. Should no bidders accept the position or no employee apply during the first
posting period, the Company will post the position on the bid board for a second
seven (7) working day period. It is intended that all bidders must either accept or
withdraw their bids from the date that the first bid period closes until the second bid
period would start (generally five calendar days).
• Union to have access to electronic bids.
3.2.2 Vacancies and new positions shall be posted for bid on all bulletin boards
within ten (10) days after the vacancy or new position occurs. For the convenience
of the Company, temporary assignments may be made for a period of thirty (30)
calendar days until bids are received and permanent assignments made.
If the Company decides that a position or vacancy will not be filled, the Union will
be notified of such decision within ten (10) days after the vacancy occurs.
3.2.3 Employees shall not be required to exercise their bidding seniority and shall
not sacrifice any future rights to bid on positions through failure to do so. An
employee who bids/bumps a job successfully and accepts it will be obligated to
move to the new job and live within a reasonable distance from their headquarters.
Reasonable distance will be determined by mutual agreement by the parties hereto
taking into account such things as response time, number of available employees,
and other conditions deemed necessary for efficient Company operation and
customer service. It is understood that the definition of reasonable distance is a
distance of up to (50) road miles from the new headquarters. When a bid is awarded
to an employee, that employee will be paid at the new pay rate starting with the 1 Ith
or 26th of the month, whichever occurs first following the award of the bid. An
employee who bids unsuccessfully on a vacancy shall not sacrifice further rights to
bid.
If a vacancy occurs for the same position within 30 days of the original bid award,
the original bid list will be used to fill the subsequent vacancy. If no one from the
original list is placed in the vacancy, a new posting will occur.
7
3.2.4 Name of employee awarded the position for bid shall be posted on bulletin
boards with the next weekly posting after the appointment is made.
3.2.5 It shall be the responsibility of the Labor Relations Department to distribute
bids and awards of bids to a uniform list of locations in the Company.
3.2.6 When an employee successfully bids to or is transferred to a new position
within the Company, in accordance with Section 3.1.2, such employee shall be given
a reasonable break-in period, not exceeding ninety (90) calendar days.
3.2.7 When an employee successfully bids to or is transferred to a new classification
with a higher rate of pay, the employee shall be placed in the lowest step on the new
pay schedule which will result in an increase in pay approximately equal to the step
increases within the new pay schedule, except in the apprentice classification. All
apprentices will start on the first step of the apprentice schedule, unless modified by
the Joint Power Delivery Apprentice Committee.
3.2.8 When an employee successfully bids to or is transferred to a new classification,
with a lower pay schedule, the employee shall be placed in the new schedule with a
credit equal to the employee's seniority, except in no case will an increase in wages
be allowed in such transfer.
3.2.9 The Company will be required to pay relocation assistance for employees
bidding from one geographical location to another, more than 50 miles from their
existing headquarters. Relocation assistance will be paid only once in a 2-year period
of time.
The Company may offer (by notice on the job posting) additional relocation
assistance depending on the specific location and the classification of the position.
Relocation assistance in the amount of $3000 will be paid after the employee
has provided proof of a new relocation address to the Company.
The Company will pay mileage on an employee's automobile for one trip to the new
work location. Any other automobile or vehicle (e.g., tractor, trailer, boat, etc.) will
be moved at the employee's expense.
In situations where an employee is forced to move (more than 50 miles) from
one location to another because his/her job has been eliminated, the Company
will reimburse for moving expenses. Such expenses will be limited to household
furnishings and personal effects. Moving arrangements will be made by the
employee's supervisor. An employee may choose to move their own possessions
after receiving a written estimate from the Company's contracted moving
company. The employee reimbursement for this self-move will be sixty (60)
percent of the written estimate from the Company's moving vendor.
8
3.2.10 In the event of a temporary curtailment in the Company, employees may be
transferred to other areas within the Company to do such work as may be available
and suitable to their skill and experience, provided that no employee of more
seniority may be displaced by an employee so transferred who has less seniority, and
Section 3.2.8 will apply regarding pay.
3.3 Seniority
3.3.1 Seniority for regular employees shall be deemed to accrue from the day an
employee last began continuous work for the Company. Seniority for bidding and
bumping will continue to accrue during periods of absence for medical reasons,
leave under Family Medical Leave Act(FMLA), short-term and long term disability.
Previously acquired seniority shall not be lost by reason of an involuntary layoff or
break in continuous work due to no fault on the part of the employee, provided,
however, that in the event of such layoffs, or breaks in continuous work, seniority
shall not accrue for the period of such absence from work.
3.3.2 Regular part-time employees shall accrue seniority in direct ratio with the
number of hours worked per year. If a regular part-time employee becomes a regular
full-time employee, their seniority date will be established to reflect the actual hours
worked as a regular part-time employee.
A temporary employee shall not accrue seniority for bidding purposes. When a
temporary employee continues on to regular employment, seniority shall be deemed
to accrue from the day such employee last began continuous work for the Company
as a temporary employee.
3.3.3 Transfers from one work group or location to another or from one
occupational group to another will be allowed, if eligible, for thirty (30) days, with
the approval of local management. At the expiration of this time, if for some reason
it is necessary that it be extended, it can be done with the approval of the parties
hereto.
3.3.4 A seniority list shall be made and posted when this Agreement takes effect,
and this list shall remain in effect until deviations there from are decided upon.
3.3.5 Employees covered by this Agreement who leave the bargaining unit for
supervisory positions or assignment to non-bargaining positions in the Company and
thereafter return within ninety (90) days of leaving will be without loss of bidding
seniority earned prior to leaving the bargaining unit. Should such an employee return
to the bargaining unit after more than ninety (90) days in a supervisory position, the
bidding seniority the employee had earned prior to leaving the bargaining unit will
be restored after the employee has served one (1) year in a bargaining unit position.
9
Such employees will be placed in mutually agreed to bargaining unit positions for
which they are qualified.
3.3.6 Employees covered by this Agreement who leave the bargaining unit for other
PacifiCorp,Electric Operations bargaining unit positions and thereafter return within
ninety (90) day of leaving will be without loss of bidding seniority earned prior to
leaving the bargaining unit. Should such an employee return to the bargaining unit
after more than ninety(90) days,the bidding seniority the employee had earned prior
to leaving the bargaining unit will be restored after the employee has served one (1)
year in a bargaining unit position.
3.4 Displacement Process
3.4.1 If there is a required reduction in staffing at a location or on a fixed shift
schedule, the least senior employee(s) in the identified classification(s) will be the
individual(s) impacted by this displacement. These procedures are not restricted
within the Power Delivery or Power Supply agreement, and employees have full
access between agreements for these purposes. The process for addressing this
situation is listed in the order they are applied, which is as follows:
1. After the Company has determined the need for a reduction in force or
adjustments to the workforce at a specific location or work schedule, the
Company and Union will meet to review the circumstances that created the
need for the reduction(s).
2. The Company and Union will review options for placing the impacted
employees into positions in a geographic proximity that would preclude the
employee from moving from their current principle residence. This may
include placing employees in vacant positions. These placements would be in
the employee's current classification or by employee choice, a vacancy in a
lower classification that they have previously satisfied the bid qualifications,
if any. It is understood that the definition of geographic proximity is a distance
of up to 45 miles from the employee's current work location. After mutual
agreement between the Company and the Union, this distance could be
expanded by voluntary agreement by the impacted employee(s).
3. If there are multiple employees impacted by a displacement and multiple
locations or positions available, Company seniority under this agreement will
be used to allow the impacted employees to choose their work location and
position, until all impacted employees are placed in new positions or
locations.
10
4. If it is not possible to place an impacted employee as described above, the
employee can then displace a less senior employee under the following
conditions:
• The employee has previously held regular full time status and performed
work in or is bid qualified to perform the duties of the classification that
they desire to bump; their same classification or a lower classification that
they are qualified to perform at the time of the displacement.
• Employees will be notified in writing of their alternatives under this
paragraph and have five (5) calendar days in which to make their decision.
3.4.2 Employees will not be allowed to move up in pay schedule because of a
reduction in forces, and Section 3.2.8 will apply regarding pay. The only
exception to this will be like classifications in the Power Delivery and
Generation agreements, as mutually agreed to by the Union and the Company,
at the time of the reduction.
3.4.3 If the impacted employee does not possess sufficient seniority to displace
another employee in their own classification or another classification that they are
qualified to perform, they may accept layoff with recall in accordance with Article
3 Section 3.5
3.4.4 Additional Provisions
1. Moving expense will be paid for all employees required to change their
primary residence due to this process.
2. Apprentices cannot be displaced by journeyman or any other employee with
more seniority.
3. Displaced employees will have five (5) calendar days to identify their choice
of options identified in 3.4.1 (4) above. If any employee does not make a
decision within five (5) days, they will be laid off with recall rights.
4. All displacement will be coordinated through the Labor Relations' groups.
5. In certain operating locations placements may be restricted if a specific area
becomes severely impacted by the displacement process. In these cases the
Company and Union will review the situation and mutually agree to
temporarily restrict displacements in that area.
6. If an employee displaces another employee with lower pay their pay will go
to the level and step as established in the latest Company/Union Agreement
for bidding across or down. (Section 3.2.8)
11
7. Anyone displacing a position in an advancement progression must meet the
entry-level qualifications and have time in grade experience required for that
position prior to displacing such a position.
8. If two (2) employees from different locations displace the same individual,
Company seniority within Local 57 rules. The second employee will be given
three (3) calendar days to make another selection.
9. Bidding rights are maintained at all times for individuals involved in the
displacement process as per the Company/Union Agreement, until the
employee has been laid off.
3.4.5 Recall to Previous Classification
If any employee has been displaced and accepts a lower paying position, they will
retain recall rights to this classification prior to regular bidding. Vacancies in
classifications with individuals with recall rights will be offered to individuals on
the recall list in seniority order. The employee will have no more than two (2) days
to accept or reject the offer of recall. If an employee declines recall to their previous
classification, the next senior person will be offered the position until all employees
have been offered the position. If all employees have rejected this recall, the least
senior employee will be offered recall a second time. Each employee who rejects
recall in inverse order of seniority for the second time for the specific vacancy will
forfeit their recall rights and are removed from the recall list. If all employees decline
the return to their former classification, the position will be posted for bid. With this
agreement, the recall list to previously held classifications reflects these guidelines.
3.4.6 Grandfathering
With this agreement, all grandfathering for the purpose of the displacement process
is considered expired and grandfathered employees will displace from their current
classifications and accept the rate of pay at their new classification.
3.4.7 Displacing Temporary Employees
Regular or regular part-time employees may displace temporary employees in
classifications up to and equal to their original position, provided they are qualified.
While the employee is on the temporary job assignment, they will be classified on
the payroll, for benefit purposes, as regular or regular part-time employees so their
benefits stay in place even though the employee is displacing a temporary employee
in a temporary assignment.
If the temporary assignment ends, the employee will again be allowed to displace
another regular, regular part-time or temporary employee and these displacement
rules will apply.
12
Regular or regular part-time employees who displace a temporary employee and are
eventually laid off will maintain their recall rights as per the Company/Union
Agreement. However, if an employee is in a temporary position and has waived their
right of recall to their original position and the temporary assignment ends for
whatever reason, such employee will be laid off with no further recall privileges.
Employees working through the Local 57 Hiring Hall are not subject to the terms
and conditions of this displacement process.
3.5 Layoff Provisions
3.5.1 The Company will give reasonable notice to employees in advance of a layoff
or transfer and will make available for inspection the names of employees who are
to be laid off.
If any employee accepts layoff with recall, they do not have bidding rights while on

Article 4
Hours of Work and Compensation
4.1 Hours of Work
4.1.1 Eight consecutive hours (except time out for meals) shall constitute a normal
day's work for the Company. Hours of work may be advanced or retarded from the
normal start time, by mutual agreement of the Company and Union, except where
continuous shifts or emergencies require other hours. The Company may establish
new shifts and schedules and the terms and conditions associated with such shifts or
schedules is the proper subject of bargaining. Employees shall receive a minimum
notice of five (5)working days prior to changing their current regular shift schedule.
This language applies to indefinite shift schedule changes and not temporary
changes of schedules.
4.1.2 Five days (40 hours) shall constitute the normal workweek for all employees,
the days following in sequence unless otherwise specifically provided in the
departmental working rules.
4.1.3 Employees reporting for regular work are to be credited with at least two
hours' time, whether worked or not, if their immediate superior directs that no other
work be attempted on that day.
4.1.4 When employees are required to travel out of headquarters, they are, except
in emergencies, to be notified not later than quitting time on the previous day.
4.1.5 Whenever the nature of a particular service rendered by the Company to the
public necessitates continuous regular service, the Company shall establish such
regular workweeks and shifts as are deemed necessary and desirable to enable the
Company to render such service. By agreement of the parties hereto, working hours
and shifts may be so arranged as to permit continuous work "back-to-back" over a
two-week period.
4.1.6 If the Company transfers personnel from one shift to another, no loss in
regular pay shall result. A minimum of sixteen hours off duty between shifts shall
be allowed except in emergencies or where otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto.
When the Company changes an employee's shift schedule, compensation for the
inconvenience shall be one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for the first
new shift.
14
4.1.7 There shall be two fifteen (15) minute paid break periods. The first break
period shall be between the starting time and lunch period. The second shall be
between the lunch period and the ending time of the shift.
4.2 Overtime
4.2.1 Overtime is the actual time worked by a regular employee other than the
employee's regular working hours. Regular part-time employees are paid overtime
when work exceeds eight (8) consecutive hours in a day or on Saturday or Sunday
or their first or second day off of their consecutive days off as described above.
4.2.2 Employees who are required to work overtime shall be paid for such overtime
as follows:
Time and One-half
• For work beyond eight (8) hours in a day or hours outside the normal daily
work schedule or work week or the regular hours or days of a temporary shift.
• For work during the regular hours on a Company holiday
• For hours worked after satisfying the provisions within Article 4, Section
4.2.10
Double Time
• For all hours after 16 continuous hours until the appropriate break in hours
has been satisfied as described in Section 4.2.3.
• For all hours worked outside of the normal work hours on designated
Company holidays
• When multiple time and one-half pay provisions overlap, double time would
be paid during the overlap time period.
It is understood that the double time rate of pay is the maximum overtime payment
for any hour worked. This does not preclude the payment of holiday pay during a
designated holiday in addition to double time.
4.2.3 Unpaid rest periods of 4 to 8 hours, as determined by supervision, shall not
change the pay status of two times regular rate for employees who return to work
immediately after such rest periods. Rest periods of more than 8 hours will be
sufficient to change one's pay status. If such unpaid rest periods extend into the
employee's regular scheduled work hours, such employees will receive only straight
time pay for the rest period hours occurring during the employee's regular scheduled
work hours. Any call-out within two hours of an employee's regular quitting time or
within two hours of a previous call-out shall be bridged back to the previous quitting
time or previous callout for the purpose of calculating sixteen (16) continuous hours
15
to achieve double time compensation. Employees will be paid only for time worked
and do not receive compensation for the bridged time identified above.
4.2.4 Any employee coming within the classifications covered by this Agreement
shall not be required to take time off during the regular working day to compensate
for overtime worked or to be worked. Compensatory time off is not authorized
within this agreement.
4.2.5 Overtime is to be distributed as equally as is practicable among the employees
employed in any classification of work where such overtime is worked.
4.2.6 A current list of employees working overtime shall be posted at their
respective headquarters, showing overtime hours worked for the month and
cumulative totals for the calendar year.
4.2.7 When employees who are off duty are called back for overtime work,
overtime shall begin with the time of call and in no case shall be computed at less
than two hours except in such cases where an employee is called within two (2)
hours before their regular shift. In this case the overtime will be paid for the actual
time worked, except for those employees who are on standby per section 6.8.1
they will receive the 2-hour minimum.
4.2.8 When employees are contacted after hours and at least seven (7) hours in
advance of the beginning of the overtime work, overtime compensation will begin
when the employee reports to work for that overtime assignment.
If the prearranged job is canceled with less than four hours' notice to the employee
the employee will be compensated with two hours overtime pay. The overtime rate
will be paid at the same rate as would have been paid for the first two scheduled
hours. The Union will not present or prosecute claims for overtime, including
penalties, assessable under pertinent state or federal laws, rules or regulations unless
such claims are presented to the Company within sixty(60) days after the completion
of the work for which such overtime has been performed.
4.2.9 Employees who are required to work more than two (2) hours overtime after
the regular quitting time shall be compensated for a meal by the Company and the
first subsequent meal at six (6) hours with additional meals at intervals of not more
than six (6) hours thereafter while they continue to work. Meals will be compensated
by the Company for employees who report to work more than two (2) hours before
their regular starting time, including holidays and regular days off. Breakfast
compensation will be provided for employees who report to work one and one-half
hours (1 '/2) or more before their regular starting time, including holidays and regular
days off. (Breakfast compensation only)
16
Pre-arranged overtime meals on holidays and regular days off will be compensated
as stated in "Payment for Meals" Memorandum of Agreement.
4.2.10 Employees called to duty six hours or more before the beginning of regular
hours, and who work three hours or more of the six hours immediately preceding the
beginning of regular hours and all or part of the next regular hours either at
emergency or regular work, shall be paid at one and one-half times the regular rate
of pay for all hours actually worked.
Note: Only those callouts that include time worked within the six (6) hours
immediately preceding regular hours are to be used in the application of the
paragraph.
4.2.11 Employees called for duty less than six hours before the beginning of regular
working hours or shift hours shall be paid at one and one-half times their regular rate
of pay (except intermission for meals) from the time they are called until relieved
from duty or the beginning of the regular shift. Regular working hours or shift hours
following shall be paid at straight-time rates.
4.2.12 Employees who are directed to report for work away from headquarters or
to return from such work on other than their working time,whether it is after working
hours or on regular days off, shall be compensated at prevailing overtime rates. This
ruling does not change our regularly established practice of paying expenses only
for nighttime travel by public conveyance.
4.2.13 Pay for employees required to work away from headquarters:
Employees working a limited distance from headquarters will normally be returned
to headquarters when travel time one way is one hour or less. Transportation
furnished should minimize travel time to and from the job. Large equipment may be
left at the work area.
When an employee is working out of town for two (2) or more nights, the employee
will be compensated at seven percent (7%) above base pay for all hours worked out
of town, including travel time. Travel for training outside the Company service
territory, apprentice school training, and positions receiving the seven percent (7%)
Travel Differential in their base pay is not included in this paragraph.

perform the work required shall be paid not less than the regular rate established by
this Agreement for the classification under which such employees are working.
However, no employee shall be paid less than the regular rate for a period longer
than four workweeks.
4.3.4 An employee who performs the duties of a higher classification for a
temporary period as assigned shall be paid at the prevailing wage rate for the time
actually worked on the higher classification.
The Union will not present or prosecute claims for temporary advancements,
including penalties, assessable under pertinent state or federal laws, rules or
regulations unless such claims are presented to the Company within sixty (60) days
after the completion of the work for which such temporary advancement has been
performed.
4.3.5 The Relief person shall have the same classification as that of the highest class
employee regularly relieved.
4.3.6 As far as possible, when employees are assigned to vacation, or emergency
relief of other employees, they shall receive temporary advancement according to
seniority and minimum qualifications.
Compensation for such temporary assignment shall be either the appropriate
bargaining unit pay schedule or 6% above present wage rate in the event no
bargaining unit schedule is applicable.
At termination of the relief period, employees shall have the right to return to the job
left when going on relief. In such cases where a bargaining unit employee substitutes
for a supervisor, the employee will be paid at a rate of 10% above the employee's
current rate of pay for the time the employee substitutes for the supervisor. The
employee will remain in the bargaining unit during such time without the authority
to hire and/or fire.
In Line Operations, the parties recognize when a crew supervisor is replaced, the
appropriate bargaining classification for the temporary upgrade will be that of a Line
Working Foreman.

employees at such rates and for such classifications as are set forth in the attached
wage table. These wage rates will be increased as follows:

4.4 Expense Reimbursement
4.4.1 When employees are required to travel out of headquarters and be away
overnight, lodging will be provided by the Company. All other expenses will be
included in a per diem payment per IRS guidelines for meals and incidental expenses
(MME). The full MME rate will be available for full days away from headquarters
and 75% of the full rate will be available for partial days of travel, defined as the day
leaving or the day returning to headquarters. Additionally, on days where there was
a Company-provided meal consumed or a Company-provided meal was made
available, the partial day rate of 75% would be provided.
Additionally, if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) makes adjustments to the
reimbursement rate, the new rate will become effective on the date identified by the

The Company recognizes that there may be times when an employee may desire to
travel back to their headquarters on a particular evening to attend to personal matters.

the work assignment continued beyond the day they returned to the work site
after attending to their personal matters.

per diem and hotel expense. This lump-sum amount is considered taxable
19
income and is not subject to the Company matching contributions per Section
7.11.1 of this agreement.
6. This accommodation is to be used for isolated circumstances and is not
intended to materially increase the driving time required to and from the work
location, be used as a substitute for the Company-provided lodging and per
diem on a regular basis or to elevate the risk to employee safety.
4.4.2 Employees dispatched from regular headquarters to other headquarters will be
paid the regular wage rate for such time consumed in traveling as is lost from their
regular working period, and also all traveling expenses incurred. Transportation
facilities may be furnished by the Company.

retiree will have access to the notional health reimbursement account. The
remaining balance in the notional health reimbursement account expires when
all eligible parties have died or no longer satisfy eligibility rules of the
PacifiCorp Retiree Health Plan.
In the event of an active employee death who is of retirement age 55 and older
5 or 10 years of experience (depending on their hire date) and would have been
eligible for the notional health reimbursement account, an account will be
created in the surviving spouse and/or eligible dependents name.

off the company's group plan and any remaining balance in the notional health
reimbursement account will be transferred to OneExchange (name change to
Via Benefits) for the purpose of Medicare Benefits as approved by the IRS. This

administrator will be eligible for use until the transfer occurs.
7.4 Long-term Disability Benefit and Leave
7.4.1 The Company will provide a Long-term disability (LTD) benefit to cover
periods of extended absence from work due to personal injury or illness. The Plan
document drives the delivery of this benefit and the Summary Plan Description is
available to all employees. This benefit equals 60% of regular pay and covers
absences after 180 days of STD benefits for each unrelated illness or injury. This
benefit will continue for twenty-four (24) months and may extend beyond that
timeframe if the employee becomes qualified for Social Security disability benefits
and is unable to perform all occupations.
7.4.2 Employees who return to work from LTD will have the following options in
the order listed:
1. Return to their previous classification and location that is currently vacant.
This would include new classifications resulting from negotiated changes to
the employee's previous classification while they were on LTD.
2. Displace a less senior person who currently occupies their previous
classification at that location
3. Access to all rights under the displacement process
43
7.4.3 Employees returning from LTD or on LTD have the right to bid on vacancies
under the terms of this agreement provided they are physically able to perform the
work and meet the qualifications of the position, if any.
Employees who return to work from LTD during a calendar year will begin to accrue
vacation and sick leave upon their return based on years of service.
7.4.4 Employees who have exhausted their LTD benefit and have not qualified for
Social Security disability benefits and are unable to return to work will be provided
two additional months of unpaid leave in which to attempt to qualify for such
benefits or return to work. At the end of these two months, if the employee has not
returned to work or qualified for additional benefits, their employment may be
terminated. If the employee subsequently qualifies for Social Security disability
benefits and additional long-term disability benefits during the next four months, (a
total of six months) they will be viewed as having qualified for such benefits and
their rights will be restored.
7.4.5 Employees who have been terminated at the end of the twenty-four (24)
months of LTD benefits associated with a mental health disorder may have
additional rights as outlined in a separate agreement between the Union and the
Company.
7.5 Personal Leave of Absence
7.5.1 With written approval of the operating Director or Managing Director and
written concurrence of the Director of Labor Relations a maximum of six months'
leave of absence may be granted to employees for reasons other than illness,
provided they can be spared from duty. Employees on such leave of absence shall
not be deemed to have forfeited seniority rights accrued prior to leave of absence.
Such employee shall receive no compensation from the Company for this time off
and details of the leave will be included in the application.
7.6 Medical Examinations and Return to Work Notice
7.6.1 The Company reserves the right to require physical examinations of its
employees in accordance with its rules and regulations.

reason of curtailment of employment or injuries incurred while on duty may be
required by the Company to pass the regular physical examination required at that
time by the Company for new employees. The Company will pay for such
examinations.
44
7.7 Industrial Injury/Workers Compensation
7.7.1 An employee of the Company, who is injured while on duty, shall be entitled
upon recovery to return to the employee's former position without loss of seniority,
provided the employee is physically and mentally qualified to return to work. The

advanced or transferred during such absence will consent to such demotions as are
necessary to make room for such employees returning to work.
7.7.2 The Company will provide a benefit to any employee injured on the job equal
to 75% of their regular pay commencing with the date of injury for absences up to
180 days for unrelated industrial injuries. This benefit is coordinated with the state
provided workers compensation benefit. This benefit can be supplemented in the
same means as the STD benefit described in Article 7.3.2 above. At the end of 180
days of coverage, the employee is subject to the provisions of the LTD benefit
described in Article 7.4 above and the benefit under this Article 7.7.2 will cease.
7.7.3 After an employee has returned to work from an industrial injury,the Company
agrees to grant paid leave at 75% of the employee's current rate for follow-up
medical visits. This benefit can be supplemented in the same means as the STD
benefit described in Article 7.3.2 above.

presents a certificate to that effect, shall, if qualified to perform the duties of such
position, be without loss of seniority, restored thereto or to a position of like
seniority, status and pay, unless circumstances have so changed as to make it
impossible or unreasonable to be so restored. The following stipulations shall apply
to employees returning from military leave:
1. They shall be given the benefit of vertical increase of pay granted during their
absence.
2. They shall be allowed accrued vacation or sick leave benefits for the year in
which they return to work.

reserve units of the Armed Forces or of the National Guard.
45

prompt presentation of the official notice from the military unit concerned. Such
leave will be granted by a letter signed by the supervisor, addressed to the employee,
with a copy to the Human Resources Department.
7.9 IBEW/Western Utilities Health and Welfare Trust
7.9.1 The Company will make contributions to the IBEW/Western Utilities Health
and Welfare Trust for regular and regular part-time employees covered by this
agreement per Section 7.9.2 and any changes to Company and employee
contributions for future calendar years will be communicated in October of the
preceding year.
7.9.2 These contributions will be divided in half and deducted on a per paycheck
basis. Additionally, these deductions will be made on a pre-tax basis in accordance
with Section 125 of the IRS code.
Employees will also have the option of choosing a non-contributory benefit plan that
will provide a different level of benefits and is described in the applicable summary
plan description.
Employee contributions will be 25% of the cost of the Plan and Company
contribution will be 75% of the cost of the plan based upon the cost of the
comprehensive plan and employee enrollment. These contributions will be
determined and communicated in October each year.
Regular part-time employees will be allowed to choose the appropriate level of
coverage from the above options and the Company will make the associated monthly
contribution.
7.9.3 All present and future retirees who were employed before January 1, 2007
will be covered by the Company's Retiree Medical, Dental, Vision and Life
Insurance Plans. New Hires employed on or after January 1, 2007 will be eligible
for access only to the Company's Retiree Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
Plans upon reaching age 55 with ten (10) years of service, responsible to pay the full
premium.
For retirees hired before January 1, 2007, who obtain age 65 or become eligible for
Medicare, the Company will establish a Health Reimbursement Arrangement
(H.R.A.) for the retiree to use to purchase medical insurance on the private market
through the company's third party administrator (currently Extend Health) for the
retiree and any eligible dependents. This account will be established the first of the
month in which the retiree turns age 65 or becomes eligible for Medicare. If the
retiree should die prior to their eligible dependents, their eligible dependents will
continue to receive an annual HRA allocation and have access to the HRA for
46
purchasing medical insurance. The amount of the annual HRA allocation is
determined based on the retiree's age and service points at retirement as set forth
below.
Annual HRA
Age & Service Allocation per
Points Person(maximum of
three people)
89.5 and over $19575
84.5 - 89.4 $19400
79.5 - 84.4 $19225
74.5 - 79.4 $19050
69.5 - 74.4 $ 875
64.5 - 69.4 $ 700
up to 64.4 $0
Employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 will have the ability to enroll in post-
65 medical plans through Extend Health or similar administrator but are not eligible
to receive an HRA allocation.
7.10 Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
7.10.1 For employees hired before July 1, 1999 and who were fifty (50) years of
age or more on July 1, 1999, their retirement benefits will be provided through the
PacifiCorp Retirement Plan and include all previously negotiated benefits.
On July 1, 1999 the Company and the Union formed the PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57
Retirement Trust to benefit employees under fifty (50) years of age on that date and
employees hired after that date. The details of this work are captured in the
Memorandum of Agreement contained within this agreement and the Plan
Document.
7.10.2 Credits against ongoing Company contributions to the PacifiCorp/IBEW
Local 57 Retirement Trust will be recognized for asset transfers for members whose
retirement benefit in the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan is transferred to the Trust. The
amount of the credit will be based upon the difference in the liability for the
transferring PacifiCorp Retirement Plan benefit using the statutory required
assumptions and the assumptions used for purposes of determining the minimum
required contributions for the Trust.
At such time the Company's defined benefit plan is amended and in such manner
that transfers of accrued benefits for employees transferring into a position covered
by the Company's plan may be transferred from the Trust, such periodic plan to plan
transfers will be made. Ongoing Company contributions to the trust will be increased
47
to the extent that the liability for the transferred Trust benefits (using the statutory
required assumption) exceeds the liability for the transferred benefits (based on the
assumptions used for the purposes of determining the minimum required
contribution for the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan). However, both parties recognize
that even though PacifiCorp may adopt a Cash Balance plan formula, certain, or no,
transfers may qualify to be transferred to the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan, as
ultimately determined by PacifiCorp. The intent of this language is that calculations
will be made in the same manner for transfers each way between the Trust and the
PacifiCorp Retirement Plan, when such transfers are possible.
Employees hired on or after June 26, 2013, and transferred employees not already
participating in the trust, shall receive a 4%base pay contribution into an enhanced
401(k) account, and will not participate in the trust.
7.11 Defined Contribution Retirement Plan
7.11.lEmployees may participate in the PacifiCorp K-Plus Employee Savings &
Stock Ownership Plan. Employee contributions will be matched on the
following schedule:
Years of Service Percentage of Regular Pay Eligible for the
Company Matching Contribution
0-9 4%
10-14 5%
15 and above 6%
The Company match will be paid at eighty-five cents (.85) per eligible dollar
deferred by the employee and will be invested per the employee's direction. The
definition of pay for the Company match is regular pay only, including sick leave,
vacation and holidays. The definition of pay for employee deferrals to the Plan
includes regular and overtime payments. The specifics of the K-Plus Plan are
contained within the summary plan description.
7.12 Life Insurance Benefit
7.12.1 The Company will pay premiums equal to 50% of the cost of the life insurance
benefit, to the IBEW/Western Utilities Health and Welfare Trust for up to two
(2) times the employee's annual regular wages.
7.13 Employee Assistance Plan
7.13.1 All employees and their covered dependents will be eligible for services under
a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program and Substance Abuse
Rehabilitation benefit program. Benefits will be provided from the IBEW/Western
Utilities Health & Welfare Trust.
48
7.14 Bereavement Leave
7.14.1 All Regular employees will be provided up to three (3) days paid bereavement
leave for each death in the immediate family. Immediate family is defined as
husband, wife, daughter, son, and mother, father, brother, sister, grandmother,
grandfather, grandson, granddaughter, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law,
brother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandmother and grandfather of the
employee's spouse. Also included are step-family members as indicated above for
immediate family. Employees requiring more than three days will use vacation to
supplement additional time off.
7.14.2 Bereavement leave may be utilized for funerals with prior notification to
supervision of one's absence from work for this purpose. Documentation that the
employee attended the funeral may be requested from their supervisor. Such
documentation would include written confirmation of attendance from a funeral
director or church leader.
7.14.3 The Company will make every reasonable effort to accommodate instances
where multiple employees from a location desire to be absent from work to attend a
funeral. No additional time or premiums will be paid to travel employees to cover
the absences that result from this accommodation.
7.15 Random Drug and Alcohol Testing
7.15.1 The parties agree to the language contained in the random drug and alcohol
testing and post-accident drug and alcohol testing Memorandum of Agreement
effective 4/12/2012 and attached in the MEMORANDUMS OF AGREEMENT
AND LETTERS OF UNDERSTANDING section of this agreement.

All entry job vacancies will be bid as Associate Project Sponsors (1st year)
regardless of the grade being vacated.
Advancement to Project Sponsor will be by mutual agreement at the end of two (2)
years as an Associate Project Sponsor (this to be considered as 'in training' period)
and contingent upon satisfactory performance during the two (2) years preceding.
Unsatisfactory performance during the two (2) years would require that the
employee so affected is misplaced and should bid out or be re-assigned.
Performance in Grade
It is also agreed that substandard performance in the higher grade position constitutes
cause and the possibility to reduce the employee's position to the next lower grade
position until evidence of satisfactory performance warrants re-establishing the
52
employee's higher grade of pay. In the event an employee does not improve
performance within a two-year period following reduction the employee will be
required to bid out or be reassigned.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 2, 1986
Apprentice Relocation
November 15, 1994 replace with new M(
When the Company has posted a bid for either a Journeyman Lineman or a
Journeyman Meterman vacancy twice and did not receive any qualified bidders, the
Company will fill the vacancy, whenever possible, with an apprentice before going
to the outside for hire.
After consulting with local management, placement of the apprentice in a vacant
Journeyman position as stated above, would be the responsibility of the Joint
Commercial Apprentice Training Committee.
The following are Guidelines for the Permanent Relocation of Apprentices:
1. The approved apprentice will be relocated by seniority. The apprentice will be
relocated only once during the apprenticeship. After the relocation, the apprentice
would not be required to re-bid in order to remain at that location when becoming a
Journeyman. If the apprentice does not relocate, then the apprentice would then be
required to bid for a location after completing the apprenticeship and successfully
passing the Journeyman requirements.
After the Company relocates an apprentice, the Company would then bid another
apprenticeship to fill the vacancy.
2. In locations that do not require an approved apprentice, an apprentice position
would be bid 'Journeyman location after complete of apprenticeship' instead of
'location for training only/subject to a permanent location'. The apprentice would
then remain at that location and not be required to bid for location after completing
the apprenticeship and successfully passing the Journeyman requirements.
Apprentices who bid prior to the above changes will be asked by seniority to
relocate. These apprentices will not be required to relocate. If these apprentices agree
to relocate, these apprentices will not have to bid for location after completing the
Journeyman requirements.
This will not change the present practice of moving apprentices to different work
locations for required work related training. Work-related training expenses or travel
time will be paid as it pertains to the Labor Agreement.
53
The Company will bid additional apprenticeship positions as soon as possible with
new bid requirements. The apprenticeship positions will be posted with, 'Location
for training only/subject to permanent relocation'.
Expenses incurred in connection with the permanent relocation which is at the
request of the Company, will be paid by the Company as it pertains to the Labor
Agreement.
Conditions which may subsequently arise in the administration of this Memorandum
of Agreement is subject to mutual agreement between the Company and the Union.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 15, 1994
NOTE: These changes will require an addition to the Commercial Apprentice
Agreement and a procedure of how the apprentice will be relocated.
Bidding Of Apprentices
January 26, 1985
This memorandum supersedes the present memorandum "Bidding of Apprentices"
dated April 1, 1982, effective March 27, 1972, on Page 4 of 1984 Agreement.
All apprentices must receive permanent location through the bidding process upon
completion of their apprenticeship. If this permanent location is not secured by a bid
within ninety (90) days after becoming a Journeyman, the employee will be placed
in a vacant position.
It is also agreed that Journeyman vacancies in the area will be held for bid if an
apprentice is within approximately three (3) months of taking his/her Journeyman
exam, provided that holding this position will not adversely affect the operation of
the Company.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1985
Creation of a I aft-Hartley ension I rust Fund
July 1, 1999
Considerable effort has been expended towards the creation of a Single Employer
Taft-Hartley Trust to deliver retirement benefits for employees of PacifiCorp
represented by IBEW Local 57, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
(IBEW). This memorandum of agreement (MOA) will document the provisions for
the creation, administration and funding of this trust. Additionally, this MOA will
detail an agreement to adjust the current retirement benefit for those employees 50
years of age and older on or before July 1, 1999. With an overwhelmingly positive
vote of the members of IBEW Local 57 and employees of PacifiCorp, we are now
prepared to finalize this agreement.

Compensation (PEC as defined in the Performance Share Plan. For regular
part-time employees,PEC is calculated based on actual
hours worked.
Final Average Pay The average monthly "eligible compensation" in the

Four (4) members of IBEW Local 57 and Four (4)
Trustees: members of PacifiCorp's management who will act as
fiduciaries for this Trust and its beneficiaries.
Single Employer Trust
As defined by statute, this Trust is being created as a Single Employer Taft-Hartley
Trust. The parties acknowledge that there have been discussions about the potential
opportunities and challenges of expanding this Trust to Multi-employer status at a
future date. The parties agree to continue these discussions and any decision in this
regard would require the approval of the management of the Company, the
leadership of IBEW Local 57 and the Trustees of the Trust.
The parties agree that the effective date of the provisions of this MOA will be
July 1, 1999.
55
Employees Fifty (50) Years of Age and Older
Any Covered Employee who is fifty (50) years of age on or before July 1, 1999 will
remain in the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan and have their existing benefits calculated
under the greatest of all the existing plan provisions and the additional formula of-
1 2/3% of FAP per Benefit Year of service, up to 30 years, plus 0.5% of FAP per
Benefit Year of service over 30 years.
Early retirement reductions for this formula are 4%per year from age 65 if length of
service at time of retirement is less than 30 years and 4% per year from age 64 if
service at time of retirement is equal to or greater than 30 years. This calculation will
be compared to the current formulas used in calculating benefits of Covered
Employees and the largest benefit amount will be provided. Liabilities and assets for
employees' benefits in this group will remain in the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan.
Employees Less than Fifty (50) Years of Aye
Any Covered Employee less than fifty years of age on July 1, 1999 will have their
vested accrued benefit calculated in the PacifiCorp Retirement Plan based upon
service and pay through a future date to be communicated. This calculation will be
in accordance with current regulations and will be communicated to employees at a
future date. The parties understand that the lump-sum value of this vested accrued
benefit is not eligible to be distributed to employees without a termination from
PacifiCorp and is subject to fluctuations based on the prevailing GATT rate and
discount period in effect at the time the employee actually takes a distribution of the
benefit.
For service beginning on or after July 1, 1999, these employees will receive
retirement benefits from the Trust based upon the plan design approved by the
Trustees of the Trust.
Funding bligation to the Trust
The parties agree PacifiCorp's funding obligation to the Trust is the subject of
collective bargaining between PacifiCorp and IBEW Local 57, recognizing that the
contribution cannot be less than the minimum required nor more than the maximum
deductible amount, as provided for in the Internal Revenue Code. With this
agreement there will be an initial annual funding level of 7.0% of Pension Eligible
Compensation (PEC) of those Covered Employees less than 50 years of age on July
1, 1999. This initial funding level was agreed to based on a commitment to a "cost
neutral" solution for retirement funding for all Covered Employees, additional
resources negotiated in the 1998 Wage Re-opener discussions, and minimal
additional resources provide by PacifiCorp. Future contributions from PacifiCorp
will be the subject of collective bargaining between PacifiCorp and IBEW Local 57.
56
The expenses to establish and operate the Trust will be borne by the Trust as
permitted by law. There continues to be an account identified with the work order
"Taft" which contains the unused balance of the $157,000 directed towards a
retirement plan solution from the 1998 Wage Re-opener. These resources will
continue to be dedicated to the Trust creation as mutually agreed to by the parties,
and any remaining balance will be deposited to the Trust upon its activation.
Initial and Future Contributions To The Trust From PacifiCM
PacifiCorp will make the 1999 contribution (1/2 of the annual amount) as quickly as
possible after the Trust is established. For 2000, PacifiCorp will make 1/2 of the
annual contribution as quickly as possible after January 1, 2000.
Transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the PacifiCorp Plan
Significant conversation has occurred in addressing the issue of transferring to the
Trust the assets and liabilities for the vested accrued benefits for Covered Employees
under 50 years of age. Recognizing the risks and potential rewards of transferring
these assets and liabilities, along with the complications and expense of completing
a termination basis calculation as defined by IRS Code Section 414(1), the parties
have agreed to an alternative strategy described in the Letter of Understanding and
will reconsider a transfer of assets and liabilities from time-to-time in the future.
Letter of Understanding
A Letter of Understanding between PacifiCorp and IBEW Local 57 supplements this
memorandum of agreement.

Declared Emergency
January 2003 id
During 2003 Negotiations, the parties agreed to create new parameters for working,
compensation and employee rest during extended, major restorations efforts. Timely
response and employee safety are the foundations for this initiative.
The Managing Director Field Operations or higher level management will be
responsible for announcing a Declared Emergency. A Declared Emergency occurs
when the Company anticipates having the work force on duty more than twenty-four
(24) continuous hours. Once announced, local management will inform each
employee directly, if they are assigned to work under the terms of the Declared
Emergency.
The Rules of pay for employees working a Declared Emergency are as found in
Article 4 of the Agreement with the following exceptions:
58
1. Employees shall not be required to work any longer than 24 continuous hours
unless the restoration will be completed within 4-6 hours after the Declared
Emergency has been announced. For every 24 hour period or major fraction
thereof, the employee shall be provided up to eight hours of paid rest at their
regular straight-time rate, provides that either:
a) the employee returns to work directly after the end of their rest period or
b) the employee returns at their regularly scheduled shift time due to the
emergency being declared over.
In the Case of situation, a) the employee will return to work with no change in their
pay status from their pre-rest period pay status. In the case of situation b), the
employee will be paid at his/her straight-time rate for the rest period, even if the
emergency is complete mid-way through the rest period.
2. Once restoration is completed and the employees have completed a rest period,
they shall return to the appropriate rate of pay per the agreement.
3. The parties agree to convene a Labor/Management meeting promptly after the
completion of the first restoration completed under the terms of this Declared
Emergency agreement. The purpose of this meeting will be to review schedules,
restoration time frames, safe work practices and any other potential problems or
operating practices that may be improved during Declared Emergencies.
Discipline Procedure
Section 1. Principles
In the administration of this Letter of Understanding, the basic principle shall be that
discipline should be corrective and progressive in nature, rather than punitive,
recognizing that some policy or rule violations are of such a nature to warrant
discipline at any level, up to suspension or termination of employment upon a first
offense. No employee may be disciplined or discharged except for just cause. Any
such discipline or discharge shall be subject to the grievance-arbitration procedure
provided for in this Agreement, which could result in reinstatement and restitution,

its receipt. Should the employee refuse, the supervisor should note such refusal on
the warning. A copy of the document (signed or with noted refusal) is to be given
to the employee.

Resources personnel file and remains active for up to one year, after which time the
document will not be active.
Section 4. Written Warning (with or without suspension)
A Written Warning is used if the employee's unsatisfactory performance or conduct
continues despite a prior Documented Verbal Warning. The Written Warning shall
include an explanation of a deficiency or misconduct to be corrected. Suspension
may also be utilized when the Company believes a performance or conduct problem
occurs which, in the judgment of management, warrants a suspension. The length of
suspension is determined on a case-by-case basis.
The employee will be asked to sign the Written Warning acknowledging its receipt.
Should the employee refuse, the supervisor should note such refusal on the warning.
A copy of the document(signed or with noted refusal)is to be given to the employee.
The Written Warning is to be included in the employee's Human Resources
personnel file and remains active for up to eighteen (18) months.
Section 5. Final Written Warning (with or without suspension)
A Final Written Warning is generally used if unacceptable performance or conduct
continues despite prior discipline. Suspension may also be utilized when the
60
Company believes a performance or conduct problem occurs which, in the judgment
of management, warrants a suspension. The length of suspension is determined on a
case-by-case basis.
The employee will be asked to sign the Final Written Warning acknowledging its
receipt. Should the employee refuse, the supervisor should note such refusal on the
warning. A copy of the document (signed or with noted refusal) is to be given to the
employee.
The Final Written Warning is to be included in the employee's Human Resources
personnel file and remains active for up to twenty-four (24) months.
Section 6. Suspension
In the case of discipline involving suspension, the suspension may be with pay or
without pay at management's discretion and due to the results of a pending
investigation.
Section 7. Termination of Employment
Employees whose unsatisfactory performance or conduct continues despite prior
coaching or counseling, or disciplinary action, or due to serious misconduct may be
terminated from employment with the Company.
The employee will be asked to sign a letter of termination acknowledging its receipt.
Should the employee refuse, the supervisor should note such refusal on the letter. A
copy of the document (signed or with noted refusal) is to be given to the employee.
The letter of termination is to be included in the employees Human Resources
personnel file.
When an employee has been terminated, they shall be entitled to the continuation of
medical benefits as provided in Article 7 of this agreement for the remainder of the
calendar month after termination. Thereafter, the employee shall have the option for
COBRA benefits. If a grievance of the termination is upheld, the Company shall
reimburse the employee for the Company's share of the COBRA medical premium
cost.
Section 8. Notice to the Union
When an employee is terminated from employment, the Company will make effort
to provide copies of the written termination notice to the Union within forty-eight
(48) hours of the action.
61
Section 9. Initiation of Discipline Investigations
Once the Company has been informed of any alleged acts that may form the basis
for discipline, except those that would constitute a crime, it must initiate any
disciplinary investigation within two weeks.
Section 10. Investigation
Where an employee is under investigation by the Company for cause, the employee
and the Union shall be notified of the fact prior to any interview with the employee
in relation to the investigation.
The Company and Union recognize the importance of due process and fair and
impartial investigatory procedures. To this end, both parties will strive to ensure
that all the facts are brought out during the investigatory procedure. The employee
being questioned shall be advised of their right to be accompanied by a union
representative and, likewise, shall be advised of their responsibility to be truthful in
the interview.

Drug and Alcohol Testing
April 12, 2012
Memorandum of Agreement
Between
IBEW Local 57
And
PacifiCorp
Drug and Alcohol Testing
PacifiCorp and IBEW Local 57 agree to the following provisions related to Drug
and Alcohol Testing of employees covered by the Rocky Mountain Power,
PacifiCorp Energy, Combustion Turbine, and Laramie collective bargaining
agreements.
Employees are prohibited from selling,possessing,using,transferring, or purchasing
illegal drugs or alcohol on Company time or property or while in a Company or
leased company vehicle or when representing the Company. Employees are
prohibited from working while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. This
agreement does not preclude the Company from taking any actions required by
Federal regulations.
IBEW Local 57 represented employees will be subject to drug and alcohol testing as
follows:
Random Drug and Alcohol Testing
Random Drug and Alcohol Testing means that the tests are unannounced, that
individuals are selected on a random basis, and that the odds of being tested are equal
for all employees in the random testing pool. This pool includes all bargaining unit
employees that do not have the requirements of a CDL.
70
A third-party contractor may be responsible for the random selection process. The
contractor and/or PacifiCorp will notify management of the names of employees
selected to be tested.
Management will coordinate a testing date. Management will not announce pending
random drug and alcohol testing until the time of the appointment. Each employee
selected for testing shall be tested during the defined testing period. Once notified
of selection for a random test, the employee must immediately report to the facility
for testing.
After completing the testing process, the employee is required to return to work
unless instructed not to do so by the medical review officer (MRO) or unless the test
results are positive. Employees will not be required to report for a random test while
on regular scheduled days off, vacation or sick leave. Employees will not be
suspended without pay pending the results of a random drug and alcohol test.
The random pool of employees shall include all Local 57 represented employees and
all management of the business unit. No more than 10% of the pool shall be
randomly selected annually. Each employee in the random pool shall have an equal
chance of being tested each time selections are made.
Post-Accident Drug and Alcohol Testing
Employees may be required to submit to a post-accident drug and alcohol test in the
following instances:
• involved in an on the job accident
• involved in an OSHA recordable event
• involved in an accident which involves property damage that is reasonably
estimated at the time of the accident to exceed $1000 or is classified as a
preventable vehicle accident
Employees who are required to submit to a post-accident test will not be returned to
work until the results of the test are known. If the test result is negative,the employee
will be made whole for regular work time missed as a result of the test.
Reasonable Suspicion Drug and Alcohol Testing
Reasonable suspicion is defined as trustworthy evidence which would cause a
prudent person to suspect that the employee has used or is under the influence, or
impaired. Reasonable suspicion testing for drugs and alcohol is permissible only
when reasonable cause exists that an employee has used or is under the influence of
alcohol or illegal drugs while on Company time, property, in a Company vehicle or
while representing the Company.
71
Before ordering an employee to submit to a drug and alcohol test, the employee's
supervisor must seek approval of his/her supervisor, if practicable. The supervisor
ordering a drug test must as soon as practical write a narrative report of the
information and observations which gave rise to the order to take a drug test.
Following a reasonable suspicion drug and/or alcohol test, the employee tested may
be suspended without pay until the results are received. If the test result is negative,
the employee shall be made whole for regular work time missed as a result of the
test.
Testing
All employees are subject to random drug and alcohol testing. The testing is in
addition to but not combined with random testing of employees subject to CDL
requirements but will be conducted using collection, laboratory and MRO and other
standards, including but not limited to laboratory designation, testing and quality
control, and levels for determining positive tests the same as those set for CDL drug
and alcohol testing. Quick tests may be utilized by the company to obtain testing
results where they do not violate existing regulations. Split samples will always be
taken if possible. Employees may request that a split sample test be performed. The
cost of the split sample test is the responsibility of the employee.
Information regarding the design and administration of the random testing process
will be supplied to the union upon request. All reports on monitoring of the contract
laboratory shall be available for inspection by the Union upon request. The Union
will have the right to copies of such reports, at its expense.
Disciplinary Action
An employee who experiences personal or work-related problems associated with
drug or alcohol use is urged to use the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Self-
referral to the EAP is particularly encouraged.
Those who self-refer before they are notified, they have been selected for testing,
and before work performance problems arise will not be disciplined or require a
return-to-work agreement to return to their positions. However, ongoing work-
related issues may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Information regarding EAP services can be obtained from the EAP provider or the
employee benefits and disability services department.
An employee who voluntarily enters into a rehabilitation program will be eligible to
use sick leave and/or vacation until they are released to return to work in accordance
with company policies and the applicable collective bargaining agreement. They
may be eligible for FMLA and/or short-term disability subject to the terms and
conditions of the FMLA policy and/or short-term disability program. If all paid time
72
off is exhausted, then their time off will be without pay. Rehabilitation costs will be
covered in accordance with the employee's respective health care coverage.
Employees who have failed a drug/alcohol test and are offered a return to work
agreement are subject to medically-supervised tests to detect any continued use of
drugs or alcohol, ordered by the Company, with or without cause, at any time, for
the period of time recommended by the rehabilitation professional treating the
employee.
Employees who have entered rehabilitation and returned to work, but whose
subsequent drug/alcohol tests show continued use of drugs or alcohol may be
disciplined up to and including discharge.
The refusal of an employee to submit to a drug/alcohol test which is properly ordered
under this agreement is a violation of Company policy and may be grounds for
disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
An employee who tests positive as a result of a drug/alcohol test with no aggravating
circumstances shall not be considered to have committed an offense rising to the
level of termination.
An employee who tests positive as a result of a drug/alcohol test with aggravating
circumstances will be terminated. Aggravating circumstances may include but are
not limited to the following:
• A prior positive test;
• A post-accident referral;
• A reasonable suspicion referral;
• Active "Return to Duty" provisions;
• A follow-up referral;
• Aggravating circumstances may also include a positive drug/alcohol test
while there is active formal discipline in effect for the employee.
Any disciplinary actions taken continue to be subject to the grievance and arbitration
procedure contained in the collective bargaining agreement(s) between the parties.
This agreement supersedes and replaces all prior agreements and arbitration awards
between the parties regarding drug and alcohol policies and/or testing. Any
modification of this Memorandum of Agreement must be agreed to by both parties.

t)vertime Call-Out Procedur
November 27, 1985
The agreement between the Company and the Union, provides that the overtime
among the employees must be distributed as equally as is practicable, each calendar
year. In order to accomplish this it is proposed that the following procedures be used
as a guide for those responsible to equalize overtime:
1. A record will be kept in each classification of employees of overtime actually
worked by each employee.
2. On that same record, each employee will be charged with the equivalent hours of
overtime that the employee declines. These hours will be added to the actual
hours worked to determine the total available hours and will be the basis for
82
determining if overtime is equalized. Further reference in this memo to this
situation will be referred to as red eights or red time hours.
3. When need for an overtime call-out occurs, the employee in the particular
classification who has the low total actual hours plus red time hours accumulated
will be the employee called for that overtime opportunity.
4. If it becomes necessary to require an individual to work, the employee with the
least amount of actual overtime hours worked shall work.
5. The supervisor initiating the call for overtime will log all pertinent data
concerning all attempts made by telephone, including time of call, response,
notation as to acceptance or rejection of the overtime, and if rejected, the reason
for the rejection.
6. Employees who are on vacation or are on the sick list will not be contacted for
overtime work and will not be charged any red time during that interval of
vacation or sick leave. For this purpose, vacation is considered to be that period
of time including all regular days off immediately before, during and immediately
after the scheduled vacation.
7. An employee who is not already logged on the sick list at the time of call-out will
be charged red time if the overtime is rejected.
8. When an employee is contacted appropriate red time will be charged regardless
of the reason that the overtime is rejected by the employee.
9. Overtime worked by an employee who is temporarily assigned to a higher
classification will be added to the overtime record in the employees regular
classification for the purposes of equalizing overtime. Reference is made to
paragraph 2.2.5 of the agreement. Provisions of this paragraph will apply in the
case of an employee being temporarily assigned to relieve a supervisor and
compensated at the rate of the equivalent foreman schedule.
10. A balance of overtime will be carried forward into the succeeding year.
11. If an employee does not have a telephone, or has not made convenient
arrangement for contact, that employee must assume the responsibility for their
lack of overtime if the employee is not kept equalized with other employees in
the same classification.
12. Relief operators should be used in all appropriate situations before another
operator is called out on overtime. In such cases, if the relief operator is
compensated for a short change, the employee will not be charged on the
overtime record for this compensation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1986

May 22, 2001
With this Memorandum of Agreement between PacifiCorp, the "Company", and
Local Union No. 57 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the
"Union", do mutually agree to the terms and provisions necessary for the creation of
a hiring hall for the use of temporary labor within the Company. Individuals
employed under this agreement will be referred to as "Hiring Hall Employees"
(HHE)
95
The Company and Union, recognize a need to utilize temporary employees to meet
the interests of both parties. Some of the factors include: (1) to have qualified
personnel perform work that is temporary in nature; (2) to avoid the implementation
of the demotion and layoff procedures as a result of adding employees to the regular
work force for work that will not continue in the near future; (3) to work together
cooperatively to meet the objectives of both parties.
It is not the intent of the parties to have temporary employees replace permanent
employees. Notwithstanding any other agreements between the parties, the
Company shall not involuntarily layoff any employee for lack of work or to avoid
producing a full-time work force, when needed, in a department or location where
temporary HHE are being utilized. No HHE working under the terms and conditions
of this memorandum shall exceed (6) six months of employment in any one location
and job in a rolling(12)twelve month period without prior written mutual agreement
by and between the Company and the Union.

Company shall follow the terms within this agreement and request Local 57 refer

2. Special skills or training required (i.e. CDL);
3. The work location;
4. The reporting date and who to report to:
5. The duration of the work, if known;
B. Classifications, Qualifications and Pay Rates

the parties as contained in the Power Delivery and Power Supply collective
bargaining agreements between PacifiCorp and Local 57 IBEW, unless otherwise
specifically agreed to or excluded by the parties.
C. Priority of Referrals
HHE applicants shall be prioritized in the following groups:
1. Previous PacifiCorp employees that worked in the same or higher classification
in 12 of the last 24 months.
2. Individuals which have worked for an employer represented by Local 57 for at
least 1 of the previous 3-years, in an equivalent or higher classification and meet
PacifiCorp's minimum qualifications.
3. Individuals who meet PaciCorp's entry level, minimum qualifications.
96
The Company may identify a specific individual for referral based on specialized
skills from the groups listed above.
In administering this referral procedure, the Union will develop procedures to
provide a consistent method of referring applicants and assuring that applicants are
not discriminated against.
D. Rejection of Referrals
The Company may reject any referral that is determined by the Company to be
unsuitable for employment. The Company may terminate HHE at any time during
their employment.
Company may also notify the Union in writing of any individual determined by the
Company who should not be referred to PacifiCorp for employment per the
following:
1. Each notification must be in writing to the Union with a copy mailed to the last
known address of the individual
2. The notification will be in effect for one year from the date of receipt by the
Union
Former PacifiCorp employees who were discharged for cause and are not eligible
for rehire and shall not be referred to the Company as a HHE provided the Union
has been notified in writing.
The Company shall furnish the Union written confirmation of all terminations of
these temporary employees.
E. Temporary Status
HHE shall not attain regular status or any entitlements that regular employees have,
unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. HHE will not be entitled to Company
provided benefits other than those agreed upon below.
F. Compensation & Terms
Employment shall commence upon orientation or work at the location and time
requested by the Company. Pay provisions are those provided for in the collective
bargaining agreement between IBEW Local 57 and PacifiCorp, except where they
are specifically excluded.
The rate of pay for Journeyman Crafts will be the highest rate for the journeyman
position.
The rate of pay for non journeyman positions and positions that have a four-year
step increase progression, is the entry level or initial rate for the progression.
However, if a HHE was previously employed by the Company in the classification
required, and was paid at a higher rate than the entry level rate, up to the 4' year
97
progression, they would be paid at the highest progression rate achieved while
working for the Company in that classification.
The Company may not downgrade employees from the classification requested
however the Company may upgrade employees in accordance with the Agreement.
(No temporary employee shall receive an upgrade when a regular qualified
employee is readily available).
Payments in Lieu of Benefits shall be paid for each hour worked in addition to the
hourly wages:
Journeyman Craft and Above:
• An amount equal to 3% of the straight-time hourly rate plus;
• An amount equal to $5.05 per hour

way obligates the employee join the Union.

seniority rights within the collective bargaining agreement(s) between Local 57
IBEW and PacifiCorp.

of this agreement to direct overtime work to HHE at the detriment of those
employees covered under the collective bargaining agreement(s) between Local 57
IBEW and PacifiCorp. Additionally, it is understood that HHE's overtime is not
subject to equalization with employees covered under the collective bargaining
agreement(s) between Local 57 IBEW and PacifiCorp. It is understood that HHE
employees required to work on a Company observed holiday as identified in Section
7.1 will be paid at time and one-half for work during regular hours.
H. Oversight Responsibilities

mentioned collective bargaining agreements are responsible for the oversight of this
memorandum of agreement and the resolution of any issues arising from its
implementation. The Joint Committees will review the utilization numbers, the
98

business.
