2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT made and executed this 26th day of January 2023, by and between
PACIFICORP d/b/a ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY, a corporation, its
successors, and assigns, hereinafter referred to as the "COMPANY," and THE
INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS, LOCAL UNION NO.
57, 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:
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 1
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
1.0 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, 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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 2
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
1.13 Neither the Company nor the Union will discriminate against any employee
or applicant as it relates to any of the terms of this Agreement, because of
race, color, religion or religious creed, age, national origin, ancestry,
citizenship status (except as required by law), gender (including gender
identity and expression), sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation,
genetic information, physical or mental disability, veteran or military status,
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 3
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
familial or parental status, marital status or any other category protected by
local, state, or federal law. The Company and Union will cooperate to provide
a work environment free of harassment and discrimination.
Any use of gendered pronouns in this Agreement is intended to be all-
inclusive and gender neutral, and use of "they," "them," or "their"
throughout this Agreement is also intended as a gender-neutral pronoun.
Use of they/them/their shall mean a single worker or employee unless
otherwise specified. Gender-specific terms are not intended to be
discriminatory but are the trade terms used to describe certain positions
e.g., "Journeyman." (Amended 1/26/23)
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.
2.0 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 their time in the employ of the Union, shall not lose their 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 4
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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
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 department 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.
3.0 EMPLOYMENT, SENIORITY, JOB CHANGES
3.1 Employee Classifications

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

work each week. All Company benefit programs are available to this classification
as defined in this agreement.
Temporary Employees

PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 5
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
and student employment. Participation in Company employee benefits is strictly
limited to those programs required by law.
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 six months 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 they are 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 six months 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.)
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 6
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
3.2 Posting , Bidding and Relocation
3.2.1 All positions shall be filled by first posting the position for bid.
Employees must apply through the electronic application tracking
system. The system receipt date and time stamp will be used to
establish timeliness of bid along with the provisions of this article.
Employees working under this Agreement and the IBEW Local 57
Power Supply collective bargaining agreement shall have their
seniority recognized for bidding and award purposes in both
agreements.
Available positions shall be posted on the bid board on Monday of
each week and shall run for nine (9) calendar days. The Union shall
have access to electronic bids.
Upon the close of the position, the hiring manager reviews the bid list
and extends an offer to the senior qualified bidder, and if the bidder
accepts, the position can be awarded.
Bidders must accept or withdraw their bids within five (5) calendar
days of the bid close date. After this five-day period, or after the bidder
accepts, the bid will be awarded to the senior qualified bidder, after
which the bidder will not be permitted to withdraw.
If an employee is off work during the job posting period outlined
above, and can't log into a company computer to bid, the employee
can send an email to the HR Service Center at
hrsvccntr@pacificorp.com or call (503) 813-5955 to have the bid
manually entered in the electronic application tracking system. In this
circumstance, employees must include the job requisition number in
their request.
The company will create an email address in which interested
employees can submit an email and receive an autoreply with the
weekly job vacancy listing or other mutually agreed upon technology
solution. (Amended 1/26/23)
3.2.2 Deleted (1/26/23)
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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 7
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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
11th 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.
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 pay relocation assistance of $3,500 to employees
covered under this Agreement who relocate to another Local 57
represented position, subject to the following conditions:
1. Position awarded is located more than 50 miles from the
employee's previous headquarters;
2. Relocation assistance shall be paid only once in a two-year
period of time; and
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 8
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
3. Relocation assistance shall only be paid after the employee has
provided required proof of primary residence relocation to the
Company.
By notice on the job posting, the Company may offer additional
relocation assistance depending on the specific location,
classification of the position, or business need.
In situations where an employee is forced to move (more than 50
miles) from one location to another because their job has been
eliminated, the Company will reimburse for moving expenses, as
defined by IRS guidelines. 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 a moving company contracted by the
Company. The employee reimbursement for this self-move will be
sixty (60) percent of the written estimate from the Company's moving
vendor. (Amended 1/26/23)
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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 9
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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 An updated seniority list shall be provided to Local 57 and posted on
the Company's intranet page on a quarterly basis. (Amended
1/26/2023)
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.
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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 10
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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 principal 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.
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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 11
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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)
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
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.

2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
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 layoff and will have recall rights as outlined below.
3.5.2 Should an employee who has been laid-off fail to return to work within two
(2) weeks after being notified to return to work, via certified mail at their
address of record, or if no work has become available prior to the end of
three (3) years' time from the date the employee was laid-off, whichever
is earlier, the employee's seniority shall thereupon cease; and if later the
employee returns to the Company, it shall be without seniority. Seniority
will not accrue during the time an employee was laid-off.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 13
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
If an employee has been laid off, they will be recalled as described above.
In addition, a laid off employee will be recalled to any position up to or
equal to their original position provided they are qualified and after the
position has been offered to qualified active employees through the above
process and the position bid with no qualified bidders.
If any employee is recalled within the timeframes identified their seniority
will be restored to the date that the layoff occurred for bidding,
displacement, and benefit purposes.
In the event of an involuntary lay-off, affected employees shall receive
COBRA insurance benefits provided by the company. One (1) month of
COBRA shall be paid for each year of employee's service, up to eighteen
(18) months.
3.6 Job Security
3.6.1 Each employee covered under this agreement, who is active on the
payroll on January 26, 2013, will be provided security against loss of
employment for the duration of this Agreement, subject to the following:
a. Employees hired after January 26, 2013, will not have this
protection.
b. In the event of lack of work, or to respond to regulatory mandates,
the Company may reduce employees. Where this occurs, the
Company shall meet with the Union Business Manager to identify
the lack of work and discuss the impact on those employees
affected.
4.0 Hours of Work and Compensation
4.1 Hours of Work
4.1.1 Eight (8) 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 14
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 15
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
• 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
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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 16
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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 two (2) hours of overtime after

including holidays and regular days off. Meal compensation will be
provided for employees who report to work one and one-half hours (1
1/2) before their regular starting time, including holidays and regular
days off. (One meal compensation only)
Meal payment will continue according to one of the schedules above
until a break in work of two (2) hours has been satisfied.
Pre-arranged overtime meals on holidays and regular days off will be
compensated as stated in "Payment for Meals" Memorandum of
Agreement. (Amended 1/26123)
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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 17
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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

receiving the seven percent (7%) Travel Differential in their base pay is not
included in this paragraph.

transmitted by direct deposit.
4.3.3 Employees hired for temporary employment who are fully qualified to
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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 18
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
4.3.7 During the term of this Agreement, the Company will pay wages to its
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:
2023 — GWI 2.5% + 1.5% market/inflation increase - effective 1/26/2023
2024 — GWI 2.5% + 2.0% market/inflation increase - effective 1/26/2024

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. In lieu of
Company-provided lodging, employees may elect to stay with family
or friends (not the employee's secondary residence) and receive a
lodging allowance of $50 per night, subject to pre-approval of
management. The lodging allowance will be paid only for the days
worked and when the overnight stay is a work requirement. If the
employee elects to extend their travel for personal reasons, all costs
associated with the extra days are the employee's responsibility.
All other travel-related expenses will be included in a per diem
payment per IRS guidelines for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE).
The full M&IE rate will be paid for full days away from headquarters,
and 75% of the full rate will be paid 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% will be paid. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) makes
adjustments to the reimbursement rate, the new rate will become
effective on the date identified by the IRS. (Amended 1/26/23)
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. If such a circumstance occurs, the following guidelines
would be applicable:
1. The employee would discuss this with their supervisor in advance.
2. The employee would be responsible for their own transportation to
and from the work location.
3. The employee would leave the work site at the end of the work hours
for that day and return at the beginning of the work hours the
following day.
4. The employee would be entitled to the full day per diem identified
above if the work assignment continued beyond the day, they
returned to the work site after attending to their personal matters.
5. The employee would receive a lump-sum amount of$70 in lieu of the
daily per diem and hotel expense. This lump-sum amount is
considered taxable income and is not subject to the Company
matching contributions per Section 7.11 .1 of this agreement.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 20
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining 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.
4.4.3 Any employee requested to use their personal vehicle on Company
business shall be compensated for such use at the current Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) rate per mile. Additionally, if the IRS makes adjustments to
the reimbursement rate, the new rate will become effective on the date
identified by the IRS.

to employees for the hours while on vacation, sick leave, and holidays.
For employees assigned to afternoon and night shifts and working overtime before
or after their shift, they will receive their regularly applied shift premium for all hours
worked that day. Regular day shift employees do not receive a shift premium for
overtime hours worked.

For positions designated as "traveling", requiring the employee to spend 50% or
more of their work nights away from home base pay increased by 7%.
4.7 Weekend - Rotation Coverage

employees of the Company shall be adjusted as follows:
Pre-Grievance Resolution
Should an employee have a complaint, the employee and the Union
steward shall be required to first discuss the complaint with the
immediate supervisor and allow the supervisor five (5) calendar days
to resolve the issue to the employee's satisfaction before the
employee may formalize their complaint by filing a grievance. Failing
a satisfactory resolution of the employee's complaint by the
supervisor in the specified timeframe, the matter may be determined
to be a grievance and shall be dealt with as follows:
First Step
The grievance shall be reduced to writing and submitted to the
appropriate supervisor and/or plant manager by the Union steward or
Union management within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date
of the Company's pre-grievance resolution response. The supervisor
shall notify labor relations of the grievance upon receipt. The
appropriate supervisor and/or senior manager will meet with the Union
steward and the aggrieved employee, after which the Company shall
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 22
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
provide a written response to the applicable Union representative
within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the grievance.
Grievances pertaining to termination of employment will be
immediately expedited to the third step of this procedure.
Second Step
The Union may request a second step hearing through the Company's
labor relations representative within fourteen (14) calendar days from
the date the Company's first step response was received. If a response
is not made within the fourteen (14) calendar days, the grievance is
considered closed.
If the Union requests a second step hearing within the time stated
above, the grievance shall be heard at the next monthly grievance
hearing meeting scheduled between the Union and labor relations, or
it shall be scheduled for an independent hearing as determined by the
Union and labor relations. The hearing shall be held in person, or by
telephone or video conference as determined by the Union and labor
relations, and may include the grievant, the steward present at the first
step, a Union representative, a labor relations representative, and the
appropriate higher level of management. A grievance hearing may be
held over to the next monthly meeting if additional time is required to
investigate the associated issues. This forum is to be used to resolve
grievances prior to arbitration, and both parties are committed to
timely resolution of all grievances.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Company will have fourteen (14)
calendar days to provide a written response to the Union, or the
grievance will be considered closed, and the Union's requested
settlement awarded.
Third Step
The Union may request a third step hearing by submitting a written
request to labor relations within fourteen (14) calendar days from the
date the of the Company's second step written response. If a written
request for a third step hearing is not received by the Company within
the fourteen (14) calendar days, the grievance is considered closed.
If the Union requests a third step hearing within the time stated above,
the grievance will be reviewed at the next monthly grievance hearing
meeting scheduled between the Union and labor relations, or it shall
be scheduled for an independent hearing as determined by the Union
and labor relations, and it may include the grievant, the steward
present in past grievance meetings, Union management, including the
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 23
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
business manager, and the director of labor relations (or the director's
designee).
At the conclusion of this meeting, labor relations will have fourteen
(14) calendar days to provide the Company's third step response, or
the grievance will be considered closed, and the Union's requested
settlement awarded.
Fourth Step:
In the event a dispute or difference is not settled promptly and to the
satisfaction of the Parties through one of the methods above provided,
such dispute or difference shall be submitted immediately to
arbitration. The Parties are committed to timely resolution of all
grievances. To this end, all pertinent information specific to a
grievance must be presented to both parties at a reasonable time prior
to arbitration after which no new information may be presented at any
arbitration hearing pertaining to this grievance.
The Union must request arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days
from the date the Company's third step response was received. An
impartial arbitrator shall be selected by contacting the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to furnish a list of seven
(7) arbitrators who are members of the National Academy of
Arbitrators. From that list of arbitrators, the Union business manager
and the director of labor relations will, in turn, strike a name from the
list until there is only one name remaining, and the remaining name
shall be the arbitrator.
The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parties
and upon the employee(s) involved. The fees and expenses of the
arbitrator, and any other expenses agreed to by the Parties prior to the
arbitration, shall be shared equally by the Parties. The arbitrator shall
have the power and authority to arbitrate only those matters expressly
made subject to arbitration by the terms of this Agreement and shall
rule only on the issues submitted in writing for arbitration. The
arbitrator shall not have power to alter or amend the Agreement.
The Parties may continue to hold conferences for the purposes of
settling the dispute at any time before notice of the arbitrator's
decision. Should the Parties reach a settlement agreement prior to the
arbitrator's decision, the terms of the Parties' settlement shall be the
final resolution of the dispute. (Amended 1/26123)

2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
7.2.9 PT Carryover
Employees' individual PT banks may be carried over to a new payroll year
but limited to 320 hours. Employees will continue to accrue hours each pay
period of the payroll year and the cap of 320 hour shall be applied only at the
end of the payroll year.
Should the Company cancel an employee's scheduled PT for operating
purposes, and this time off cannot be rescheduled before the end of the
payroll year and the cancellation causes the employee to have PT in excess
of the allowable cap for the payroll year, the excess hours will be carried into
the next payroll year. Written authorization from the employee's supervisor
and labor relations will be required to document approval. Employees shall
not receive pay in lieu of vacation.
7.2.10 At the end of each payroll year, any PT hours above the employee's
PT cap outlined in Article 7.2.9 will be deferred into the employee's
supplemental leave bank. The supplemental account can only be used to
supplement short term disability, worker's compensation, and STD upon
retirement, and the provisions outlined in Article 7.3.4.
7.2.11 Disability
In the event that disability as defined by Article 7.3 of this Agreement occurs
prior to and interferes with the scheduled PT, the time off will be
rescheduled. Time spent on STD leave shall be considered time worked for
purposes of per pay period PT accrual.
7.2.12 Scheduled and Unscheduled PT
Pre-scheduled PT is a personal leave time which may be granted to begin at
any time during the payroll year, due consideration being given to (a)
minimum interference with the Company's business and (b) seniority.
Employees should make their PT leave requests at least fourteen (14)
calendar days prior to the beginning date of the requested leave. Employees
who cancel prescheduled PT of four (4) consecutive days or more, should
do so at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the beginning date of the
requested leave. Seniority rights in the preferential scheduling of PT must
be exercised prior to April 30.
Unscheduled PT is personal time leave not scheduled whereby an employee
may be allowed to use PT, provided their request does not create scheduling
problems and no additional expense is caused the Company by such
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 41
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
scheduling. Notification of absence after regular work shift begins will be
considered to be an unexcused absence.
Unscheduled PT which is used for (a) personal illness or injury or (b) family
illness or injury, may at the Company's reasonable discretion, require a
physician's verification of illness.
7.2.13 Employees, with the consent of the department head, may elect to
split their time off as needed. In such event the right of selection by seniority
shall apply to the first period selected. When scheduling of relief personnel
is required, reasonable notice of intent to take time off may be required by
department management.
7.2.14 Employees entitled to PT, who are absent from work due to injuries
sustained in the line of duty, may elect to take their time off during such
absence from work. If during such absence an employee receives
compensation under any state workers compensation law, the amount of any
such payment received shall not be deducted from the employee's PT
allowances. The total amount to be received by the employee, either by
paycheck or by payments under such workmen's compensation acts, shall
be equal to, but shall not exceed the employee's regular pay.
7.2.15 PT Pay Upon Termination
At termination or retirement, any remaining PT hours for non-probationary
period regular employees, up to their annual accrual rate outlined in Article
7.2.3, will be reimbursed at 100% of the employee's current hourly base pay
rate. Terminating or retiring employees must be actively at work on the last
day of employment and cannot take their final day(s)/week(s) of employment
as PT in order to prolong or delay the termination or retirement date; instead,
their PT will be cashed out at 100% of their annual accrual outlined in Article
7.2.3.
In the event an employee qualifies and is approved for LTD benefits, is
displaced pursuant to layoff provisions of this agreement, or dies, all
available PT is reimbursed at 100% of the employee's current base pay rate.
7.2.16 Effective December 26, 2023, all regular employees will receive PT to
use for sick leave. Sick leave accrued in prior agreements shall no longer be
accrued.
7.2.17 Sick leave balances at the transition to PT (Payroll Year 2024)
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 42
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Effective in the 2024 payroll year, employees will no longer accumulate sick
leave. At the time of this transition to PT, employee's sick leave hours will
be transitioned as follows:
• Balances of 160 hours or greater(including all fractional hours) will be
credited to their supplemental bank. All remaining hours below 160
will be credited to their new PT bank.
• Balances below 160 hours will be credited to their new PT bank.
(Added 1/26/23)
7.3 Short-Term Disability Benefit and Leave
7.3.1 The Company will provide a Short-term disability (STD) benefit to cover
periods of extended absence from work due to personal injury or illness. A
short-term disability program description is available to all employees. This
benefit equals 75% of regular pay and covers absences for up to 180
calendar days for each unrelated illness or injury. There is a forty (40) regular
working hour waiting period for this benefit, or a pro-rated amount for
regular part-time employees and employees can utilize their PT or floating
holiday during this time.
7.3.2 Employees can supplement this benefit to receive 100% of their regular
pay first by use of any available balance in their Individual Supplement
Account then any available floating holiday, or PT balance.
7.3.3 Employees who have exhausted their STD benefit and have not
qualified for long-term disability benefits and are unable to return to work
will be provided 60 calendar days of unpaid leave in which to attempt to
qualify for long-term disability (LTD) benefits or return to work. At the end of
these 60 calendar days, if the employee has not returned to work or qualified
for LTD benefits, their employment may be terminated. If the employee
subsequently qualifies for 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. (Amended 1/26/2023)
7.3.4 A notional Health Reimbursement account will be established for eligible
employees of IBEW Local 57 at retirement to use for retiree medical and premium
expenses. The Company and the Union agreed that employees who retire (i.e.,
age 55 with 5 years of service or 55 with 10 years of service depending on
hire/rehire date) would be eligible for this account.
Upon retirement from the Company (55 years of age and 5 years of service or 55
years of age and 10 years of service (depending on date of hire) accumulated
supplemental hours will be valued at 65 percent of the employee's current base
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 43
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
wage and a notional health account will be created and funded for the employee.
The account will be managed by the third-party administrator of the Company's
choosing.
The notional health reimbursement account will be available for the retiree and any
eligible dependents to use for monthly medical premiums, deductibles, co-pays
and all other eligible expenses per Internal Revenue Service Guidelines and
provided for under the PacifiCorp Retiree Health Plan.
A surviving spouse or eligible dependent that predeceased by the PacifiCorp
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.
When the retiree reaches age 65 and all parties in the family are transitioned 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 is
typically done in February of each year. The funds with the third-party administrator
will be eligible for use until the transfer occurs.
7.4 Long-Term Disability 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 or
compensable work-related injury. The LTD group policy document drives
the delivery of this benefit and is available to all employees. This benefit
equals 60% of regular pay and covers absences after 180 calendar days of
short-term disability (STD) benefits for each unrelated illness or injury. This
benefit will continue under the terms defined in the LTD group policy in effect
at the time the employee qualified for LTD. (Amended 1/26/2023)
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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 44
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
2. Displace a less senior person who currently occupies their previous
classification at that location
3. Access to all rights under the displacement process
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 medically
qualified/released and physically able to perform the work and meet the
qualifications of the position, if any. (Amended 1126/2023)
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 whose STD benefit has ended and are unable to return to
work will be provided 60 calendar days of unpaid leave in which to attempt
to qualify for such benefits or return to work. At the end of these 60 calendar
days, if the employee has not returned to work or qualified for additional
benefits, their employment may be terminated. If the employee subsequently
qualifies for long-term disability benefits during the next four months, (a total
of six months from the last day of STD) they will be viewed as having
qualified for such benefits and their rights will be restored. (Amended
1/26/2023)
7.4.5 Deleted 1/26/23
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.
7.6.2 Employees, on rotating shifts, returning from sick, accident or other
unscheduled absence must give at least one shift notice before returning to work.
7.6.3 Employees who are absent from work for a period of more than six months
by 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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 45
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
time by the Company for new employees. The Company will pay for such
examinations.
7.7 Industrial Injury/Workers Compensation
7.7.1 An active employee of the Company, who sustains a compensable
work-related injury 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 Union
confirms, on behalf of the employees of the Company, that any employee
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 short-term disability (STD) benefits to an
active part-time/full-time employee due to time loss associated with a
compensable on-the-job injury. Beginning with the first day of time loss and
consecutively up to 180 calendar days, benefits are paid at 75% of their
regular pay. The STD benefit can be supplemented in the same means as the
STD benefit described in Article 7.3.2 above. The STD benefit is adjusted
against the temporary-total disability (TTD) benefit provided by the workers
compensation third party administrator (TPA) so not to exceed the 75% STD
benefit provided by the Company. At the end of the 180 calendar days of
coverage, the employee is subject to the provisions of the long-term
disability (LTD) benefit described in Article 7.4 above and the benefit under
this Article 7.7.2 will cease. (Amended 1/26/23)
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 regular
rate of pay for time off work to attend medical appointments for approved,
on-the-job injury claim(s). This benefit can be supplemented in the same
means as the STD benefit described in Article 7.3.2 above. (Amended
1/26/23)
7.8 Military Leave
7.8.1 An employee covered by this Agreement who, in order to perform active
service in the military forces of the United States, has left or shall leave a position
with the Company other than a temporary position, and thereafter returns to the
Company within 90 days after satisfactory completion of service or training in such
forces, and 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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 46
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
3. They shall be given accrued seniority for bidding and, if need be, for
bumping.

such as military training sessions, will be granted to employees who are members
of reserve units of the Armed Forces or of the National Guard.
Military Leave Temporary Duty will be granted by the employee's supervisor upon
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.
Effective January 26, 2023, employee contributions will be as outlined below
and based upon the cost of the comprehensive plan and employee
enrollment. Plan cost will be determined and communicated in October each
year.
Plan year 2023: 25% Employee/75% Company
Plan year 2024: 22% Employee/78% Company
Plan year 2025: 22% Employee/78% Company

2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Plan year 2026: 20% Employee/80% Company
Plan year 2027: 20% Employee/80% Company
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. (Amended 1/26/23)
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
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.

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 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
Employees may participate in the PacifiCorp K-Plus Employee Savings &
Stock Ownership Plan.
The Company match will be paid at 100% per eligible dollar up to 6% deferred
by the employee and will be invested per the employee's direction. The
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 49
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
definition of pay for employee and employer match contributions to the Plan
includes regular, sick, vacation, personal time, or holiday and overtime
payments. The specifics of the K-Plus Plan are contained within the
summary plan description. (Amended 1/2612023)
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.
7.14 Bereavement Leave
7.14.1 All Regular employees will be provided up to forty (40) hours of paid
bereavement leave for each death in the immediate family. Immediate family
is defined as a spouse, including individuals in a civil union or domestic
partnership; a parent, including stepparent, parent-in-law, civil union and
domestic partner's parents; a mother and partner who have experienced
pregnancy loss, including miscarriage and still birth; a sibling, including
sister-in-law or brother-in-law; a child, including child of a civil union or
domestic partner, biological, adopted, foster, stepchild, daughter-in-law or
son-in-law; a grandparent or grandchild; an aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew;
or any person over whom the employee is a legal guardian.
Special circumstances will be given to any other person whose association
with the employee was similar to any of the above relationships. Additional
time off may be granted depending on various circumstances, such as
distance, the employee's responsibility for the funeral arrangements and the
employee's responsibility for taking care of the estate of the deceased.
Employees should inform their manager or supervisor immediately or as
soon as reasonably practical of the need to utilize bereavement. The
company may require verification of the need for the leave upon the
employee's return to work (i.e., a death certificate, obituary, etc.).
Bereavement leave will be paid at straight time and shall not be used for the
purposes of calculating overtime. Bereavement leave is also available to
attend the funeral of a coworker. The length of time (e.g., days, hours) for
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 50

such paid leave depends on various circumstances, including distance to
the service and relationship. (Amended 1/26/23)

reasonable suspicion, and post-accident drug and alcohol testing.

memorandum of agreement/letter of agreement between the Parties (most
current dated April 12, 2012). (Amended 1126/23)
8.0 Duration of Agreement
8.1 This Agreement shall remain in full force from the date of signing hereof until 11:59
P.M., January 25, 2028, and will remain in effect until either party notifies the other
party, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement or of
any extension thereof, of its desire to terminate or amend the same. If either party
desires an amendment within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice, the
parties shall agree on a day to exchange proposals and which will be mailed via
certified mail, the substance thereof shall be contained in such notice.
8.2 In the event such notice is given, a discussion of such proposals shall begin no
later than twenty (20) days after the exchange of said proposals, unless the time
shall be extended by mutual consent. The parties hereto will hold joint conferences
for the purpose of negotiating a new Agreement or amendment with regard to
wages, hours, working conditions and/or other matters of collective bargaining to
take the place of or amend this Agreement.
8.3 In the event negotiations fail to reach an agreement as of the anniversary date of
the Agreement, the parties are free to pursue any and all legal means to resort to
economic pressure to resolve the Agreement including the right to strike or lockout.
The Union will not strike and the Company will not lockout its employees after
January 25, 2028, without providing the other party sixty (60) days written notice
of such action. If written notice is provided, such action may be taken after 11:00
P.M. on the 61st day.

Overtime Callout Procedure
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 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 employee's 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 53
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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
shortchange, the employee will not be charged on the overtime record for this
compensation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1986
Temporary Hiring Hall Employees
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)
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.
A. Request for Temporary Employment
When the Company desires to use this referral service provided by the Union, the
Company shall follow the terms within this agreement and request Local 57 refer
applicants for such work. The request shall include:
1. The classification(s) needed;
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 54
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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;

Declared Emergency
November 2022
This Letter of Agreement (LOA) between IBEW Local 57 ("Union") and PacifiCorp
("Company") (the "Parties") memorializes discussions and standing practices associated
with the application of rules of pay for Declared Emergencies. This agreement shall
supersede any prior written or verbal agreements between the Parties including the Joint
Communication issued by the parties on December 5, 2008.
Employee safety, customer service, and power restoration are the foundation for this
agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree that the intent and principles behind the
application of this agreement are to establish shifts to ensure adequate rest and coverage
while also maintaining consistent and efficient power restoration.
The Managing Director of Field Operations or a higher level of management will be
responsible to determine when a Declared Emergency goes into effect. Once declared,
all employees assigned by management that are contributing to restoration efforts in the
areas of the Declared Emergency will be considered as working under the terms of this
agreement. Resources outside of the affected area must be invited into the Declared
Emergency in order to work under the terms of this agreement. The company will notify
union leadership whenever there is a Declared Emergency.
The rules of pay for the declared emergency are as follows:
• Employees who have worked prior to the announcement of the declared
emergency will be paid under the normal rules of pay (regular shift rules) up to 16
continuous hours whether it's a regular workday, a day off, or a holiday. Shift before
shift rules will apply for that day only.
• The employee's shift will change due to the emergency outage restoration
requirements and available resources. Management will be responsible to
coordinate all shifts associated with the emergency. The Company has agreed to
pay up to an eight (8) hour rest period to accommodate this flexibility.
• Once the employee has worked 16 hours and has not had more than an eight (8)
hour break (rest), then the rate of pay for all hours worked after 16 hours will be at
double time (2x) rate of pay. The rate of pay for all hours worked will remain at
double time (2x) until more than an eight (8) hour break (rest) in work is achieved.
• An opportunity for up to an eight (8) hour rest period will be afforded to employees
who have worked 16 continuous hours or more, provided that the employee returns
to work directly after the end of their rest period.
• The intent of the rest period is to provide a fresh resource for their next regular
workday. The rest period will not be paid if the employee is on vacation, sick or
holiday or is given more than an eight (8) hour break before their next regular
workday.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 58
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
• When an employee is released from the Declared Emergency with eight (8) hours
break in work, the employee will return to normal rules of pay pursuant to the
Agreement.
Employees shall not be required to work any longer than 24 continuous hours unless
current work assignment will be completed within six (6) hours. Or in cases where working
these additional hours at the beginning of a Declared Emergency would be conducive to
establishing efficient work/rest shift rotations/cycles for DE work needs.
Should questions arise regarding the payment of Declared Emergency Rules of Pay, the
Parties agree to first bring the concern to the Labor/Management Committee for
resolution prior to the established grievance procedure in Article 5 of the Agreement.
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.
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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 59
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
Before ordering an employee to submit to a drug and alcohol test, the employee's
supervisor must seek approval of their 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 60
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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 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
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 61
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
Transportation Department After Hour's Coverage
April 19, 2012
Rocky Mountain Power Company and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
Local 57 agree to resolve the class action grievance R-57D-2012-3355 as follows:
When the Company has a need for standby resources in the Transportation Department
to be available for after hour emergency work the compensation for such standby will be
one (1) hour of straight time pay per day and two (2) hours of straight time pay for holidays
for each day that they are responsible for such emergency response. For this emergency
response, overtime will start at the time of the call, will not be less than two (2) hours, and
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 62
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
will be paid for at one and one-half(1 1/2)times the regular rate for the particular employee
called.
This agreement will be exercised at the sole discretion of the Company at locations it
deems necessary to have standby coverage. Notice of required staffing levels will be
given to affected employees as soon as practical. The use of standby scheduling will be
kept at minimum for afterhours coverage. Volunteers will be solicited for the required
assignments (and may be rotated by employees) prior to assigning low man in overtime
in the job classification.
This agreement does not alter the requirement for all employees to respond to existing
overtime call outs after regular work hours.
Payment For Meals
Amended January 26, 2023
Payment For Meals During Extended Work Hours
Payment for meals will be made to bargaining unit classification employees and
management personnel when extended working hours are required by the Company. The
provisions of Section 4.2.9, 10 and 11 of the agreement between I.B.E.W., Local 57, and
the Company cover the cases of extended days and early call out. Employees will be
allowed a reasonable period of time to eat meals provided under this policy but will be on
their own time during the meal period - time off for meals is not subject to overtime pay.
The Company will reimburse employees $10.00 for breakfast, $11.00 for lunch, and
$20.00 for dinner.
The type of meal to be reimbursed will be determined by the hour during which the meal
would normally be furnished. The following time periods will be used in making this
determination:
BREAKFAST 2:01 a.m. to 9:59 a.m.
LUNCH 10:00 a.m. to 1:59 p.m.
DINNER 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

reported for the corresponding day that is marked for the meal allowance.
Out-Of-Town Expenses
Expenses for employees required to be away from home station overnight on Company
business will be provided as stated in Section 4.41 of the Labor Agreement.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 63
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Unscheduled Callouts
When an employee is called out more than two (2) hours after their regular shift or on a
holiday or regular day off, a meal will be compensated for after working four(4) continuous
hours, and additional meals at intervals of(6) hours thereafter while they continue to work.
Once this meal schedule is started, employees will continue to follow it until a break in
work of two (2) hours is satisfied.
Pre-Arranged Overtime Meals On Holidays and Regular Days Off
Pre-arranged overtime is defined as work for which notification to report for work is given
no later than quitting time on the previous working day.
For prearranged work on holidays and regular days off, employees will not be
compensated for meals unless starting time is (2) hours before or quitting time is (2) hours
after the employee's normal working shift.
Call-Back Within Two Hours of Regular Quitting Time
Employees who are called back to work within two (2) hours of their regular quitting time
will be compensated for a meal two (2) hours after their regular quitting time, and
additional meals at intervals of six (6) hours thereafter while they continue to work.
Emergency Service Work Out-Of-Town
Crews working out-of-town on emergency service restoration who would qualify for the
overtime meal reimbursement provision of the Agreement, may elect to be compensated
on their pay checks for qualifying overtime meals for the period of time they are performing
emergency service restoration. Under no circumstances will an employee be reimbursed
for the same meal under both the out-of-town and overtime provisions of the Agreement.

agree to the following terms and conditions set forth for the Pre-Apprentice Lineman
classification. The parties recognize that with a reorganization of this type, additional
issues may arise. The Company and the Union are committed to jointly resolving any
future issues that may arise.
1. The intent of this position is to prepare employees to become an Apprentice
Lineman. The job duties of the Pre-Apprentice Lineman will be aligned with those
of the General Helper Classification (Ground man). The principal duties include
pre-requisite skills and knowledge for becoming an Apprentice Lineman.
2. The Pre-Apprentice Lineman positions will be open to the general population both
inside and outside the company, regardless of an individual's current bargaining
unit status or seniority. Internal bargaining unit applicants shall use the Posting
and Bidding procedure identified in Article 3.2 of the collective bargaining
agreement.
3. Applicants who meet the following qualifications will be selected to continue
through the awarding/hiring process:
A. Successfully passed the NJATC test with the appropriate score to
allow advancement into a Lineman Apprenticeship.
B. Must have a Class A CDL or completion certificate of the written
portion of the CDL License.
4. Physical Ability & Skills Assessment Testing. All applicants who have met A and B
above will be invited to participate in a physical assessment which will measure
the individual's ability to perform activities associated with the lineman trade.
5. Applicants participating in the physical ability assessment will be given a composite
numerical score by the joint bargaining unit and management assessment team.
The scores will be ranked from high to low and the top scoring applicants will be
offered Pre-Apprentice Lineman positions based on the number of openings.
(Internal bargaining unit applicants being offered a position will be allowed to select
their location by seniority.) If an internal and external applicant receives the same
score the internal candidate will be chosen. New hires on the same day will
establish seniority by drawing. This seniority position will be used for initial Pre-
Apprentice placement and also placement in Apprentice Lineman positions. Upon
completion of the apprenticeship the pre-established seniority date will apply for
awarding the Journeyman position as well.
6. All Lineman Apprenticeships will be posted for bid and awarded to the senior
qualified Pre-Apprentice Lineman.
7. A qualified Pre-Apprentice Lineman incumbent will be required to apply or to bid
on all Apprentice Lineman positions. A qualified Pre-Apprentice Lineman who
refuses to bid on and /or accept an Apprentice Lineman position will be placed in
a vacant apprentice lineman position. If the qualified Pre-Apprentice Lineman does
not bid or accept a placement in a vacant apprentice lineman position, they will be
removed from the apprentice program and placed in the General Helper
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 65
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement

Journeyman Lineman hourly wage.
9. The Pre-Apprentice Lineman positions will not be subject to displacement by
employees who are not qualified under section 3 A & B.
10. Recognizing that this position is a training position, no upgrade will be paid to
employees in the Pre-Apprentice Lineman classification who are required to
operate equipment.
11. Pre-Apprentice Lineman will fulfill the obligations of ground time for their
apprenticeship during the first six months in their position, provided proper
documentation is submitted to the JATC training committee.

Coordinator will advance to the next pay grade effective on the 11t" or 26t" of the
month, whichever occurs first.
7. Service Coordinator positions will have the minimum qualifications as follows:
• Passed type test at 30 wpm or within 10 days after receiving the bid (or prior
to hiring externally).

Groundman Classification — Provisional Status
May 23, 2022
This Letter of Agreement between IBEW Local 57 ("Union") and PacifiCorp ("Company")
memorialize discussions between the parties associated with the creation of a provisional
status Groundman classification.
The parties met to discuss options to expand recruitment opportunities while affording
new hires the ability to explore a career in the utility sector. As part of these discussions,
the parties have mutually agreed to develop a "provisional status groundman position"
designation. The purpose is to expand efforts to afford qualified persons not currently
employed in the utility to exposure to the utility industry and provide a pathway for
opportunities in the company's apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
A provisional status shall be defined as an employee whose employment is intended to
last more than six (6) months but less than two (2) years from start date in the Groundman
classification. The work performed affords incumbent the opportunity to gain skills such
as CMV, CDL and/or NJATC training to further their career within the utility. The use of
the provisional status employee will not impede the opportunities of regular employees or
bypass the bidding procedure defined in the Local 57PD Agreement and are not subject
to Article 3.5 of that agreement.
Incumbents awarded Groundman-Provisional positions shall have the terms of Article
3.1.1 (Probationary Period) applied during the duration of their provisional time period.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 68
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Upon successfully bidding or being selected for a regular or regular part-time position the
employee will be covered under the regular provisions of Article 3 .1.1.
Provisional status employee(s) will be eligible to participate in training similar to those of
nonprovisional employees. The company encourages participation in opportunities for
provisional status employees to obtain training and skills, such as CMV and CDL and
NJATC processes, to assist provisional employees to qualify for future company
openings.
In recognition of the intent to provide a pathway to opportunities in the company's
apprenticeship programs, the company agrees to the following process for preference to
fill vacancies designated as provisional:
1. Candidates referred to the Company, and who apply for the job posting; and then
2. Candidates who apply directly to the Company and are not referred to the
Company.
The Company shall maintain the sole discretion to determine the qualified applicants
selected for interview and employment. Candidates will be subject to Company hiring and
pre-employment requirements.
The Groundman-Provisional classification will be compensated at a wage rate that is 60%
of the journeyman lineman wage rate and will accrue benefits equivalent to a regular
employee including vacation, sick leave, medical insurance coverage, and 401(k)
contributions. Furthermore, a provisional status employee who is offered and accepts a
Local 57PD represented position with no break in service shall be eligible for health and
welfare benefits and personal time off accrual based on their continuous service from
their start date as a provisional status employee. For purposes of overtime work,
preference will be extended to "regular status" employees, and the Company is under no
obligation to balance overtime for provisional status employee(s).

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, including back pay and benefits.
Termination of employment or escalation of the discipline process, without prior warning
or notice may be taken for activities that have a considerable effect, are considered
serious misconduct and/or substantially damages the Company's reputation or
effectiveness.
Section 2. Coaching and Counseling
Coaching and counseling is an effective way to improve unsatisfactory employee
performance and is highly recommended. The purpose is to identify deficiencies so the
employee can be informed of performance problems and make necessary improvements.
Coaching or counseling may include a referral to the Employee Assistance Program for
support. Discussions of this type shall be held in private between the employee and the
supervisor. Such discussions are not considered discipline and are not subject to the
grievance process. Following such discussions, there is no prohibition against the
supervisor and/or the employee making a personal notation of the date and subject matter
for their own personal record(s).
Section 3. Documented Verbal Warning
The purpose of the Documented Verbal Warning is to inform the employee that 1) specific
performance deficiencies must be corrected and 2) that further discipline may result if
improvement does not occur.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 71
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
The employee will be asked to sign the Documented Verbal 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 Documented Verbal Warning is to be included in the employee's Human 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 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 72
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
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.

1.2. Allow inside** employees within Local #57/Rocky Mountain Power to bid for

time and part-time positions to hire from the outside.

***Outside = anything outside Local 57
Wasatch Customer Care Center Shift Bid Details
A shift bid will be conducted a minimum of once annually.
1. A change of status form will be sent out at least twenty (20) business days before
the shift bid.
2. New shifts will be published and posted internal to Wasatch Customer Care
Center for 10 business days.
3. Shift bid seniority list will be established and published.
2.1 . Shift bid seniority between employees with the same seniority will be
determined as follows:

PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 79
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
established separately from the shift bid for part-time new hire Customer
Care Specialists
• Each employee with the same seniority will take their turn spinning a
BINGO cage and drawing a number for themselves. If the Customer
Care Specialist is absent, their number will be drawn by the Union
Steward. High shift bid seniority will start with the number 1 (or lowest
number drawn).The above process establishes the shift bid seniority list
valid for all future shift bids within the Wasatch Customer Care Center
only.
• If a Local 57 employee transfers in and has the same seniority date as a group of
the Wasatch Customer Care Center Customer Care Specialists that have already
established their seniority, the transferring employee will have the lowest seniority
for that group.
• Once the shift bid seniority list for current shift bids has been established, it will be
published.
3. Three (3) separate shift bids will be conducted (Customer Care Specialist Captains,
Fulltime, Part-time).
3.1 Customer Care Specialist Captain Shift Bid will be conducted first and will be
completed prior to the bid for full-time Customer Care Specialist shifts.

for open care center captain positions based on seniority.
• Existing care center captain employees own their current shift and cannot be
bumped from their shift.
• If existing Customer Care Specialist Captain employee does not desire to keep
their current Customer Care Specialist Captain position, they can bid for
available shifts with the full-time Customer Care Specialists shift bid based on
seniority; however, they must complete the designated section of the change of
status form to indicate such choice prior to the start of the bidding.
3.2 The Full-Time Customer Care Specialists Shift Bid will begin after the
Customer care Specialist Captain bid is completed.
3.2.1 Employees participating in the full-time Customer Care Specialists shift bid
will include:
• Customer Care Specialists with current full-time status
• Customer Care Specialists given full-time status through posting
bid award

• Customer Care Specialist Captain who chooses not to participate
in the Customer Care Specialist Captain shift bid.

3.3.1 Employees participating in this shift bid include:
• Customer Care Specialists with current part-time status
• Customer Care Specialists given part-time status through posting

time Customer Care Specialists, based on seniority.
General Shift Bid Information
• A separate form for each shift will be prepared. The form will include a line for each
available position on that shift. The employee with the most seniority will be the
first to choose which shift they desire and will select by printing their employee
number and signing for the desired shift.
• If helpdesk/captain positions are open, qualifying Customer Care Specialists may
elect to take one of these open, full-time positions (see helpdesk/Customer Care
Specialist Captain pre-qualification requirements).
• The next senior employee will select in like manner, until all employees have had
the opportunity to make their selection from those shifts with open positions.
• Each employee is expected to have previously determined their prioritized order
of shift preferences, so when it is their turn, they will be able to make their selection.
• During the shift bid process, a status report with positions taken and those
remaining will be emailed to employees on a regular basis. The purpose of this is
to let employees yet to participate in the shift bids know what their choices will look
like as their turn approaches.
Absentee Form
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 81
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
• If an employee is scheduled to be on vacation during the shift bid, they must
complete an Absentee Shift Bid Form and have it submitted to the designated
Local 57 Steward by 5:00 PM the day before the shift bid is scheduled to begin.
Based on the shift priorities identified on that form, the employee's shift will be
assigned.
• If an employee is sick on the day of the shift bid or not at work and unable to
participate in the shift bid at the appropriate time, they must call the Absense Line
at (801) 955-2441 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. The call will be
forwarded to the designated Local 57 Steward. The Steward will complete the
Absentee Shift Bid Form for the sick employee over the phone. Shift will be
awarded based on the priorities identified on the Absentee Shift Bid Form.
• The shift bid will not be slowed down due to an employee being absent. Failure to
follow the above process will result in the loss of Customer Care Specialist's choice
of shifts, and the Customer Care Specialist will be assigned a shift based on
seniority and remaining openings at the end of the bid process.

serve basis, availability and at management's discretion.
(3) Employees may not schedule more vacation time than they have available or that
they may accrue by the time of their planned vacation.
(4) To cancel scheduled time off, employees must notify management one full
business day in advance.
(5) If an employee has exhausted all their available paid time off, or are unable to
accrue enough paid time off, prior to their pre-selected vacation, any remaining
vacation may be cancelled at management's discretion.
(6) If an employee chooses not to schedule all of their vacation time, they run the risk
of not getting their desired choices.
IL Subsequent Vacation Requests
A. Process for Scheduling Time Off in Advance.
All scheduled time off should be submitted at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to
the date(s) requested.

Collective Bargaining Agreement section 7.1.1.
B. Scheduling Time off -- NOT in Advance.
There is recognition that employees will have situations that will not allow them to
schedule time off in advance.
(1) Customer Care Specialist's must receive approval by the end of their shift or 24
hours prior to the start of their next shift.
(2) Based on business needs, Managers may approve exceptions to (1).
lll. Unscheduled Absences
Time off for sick leave will be in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
See Article 7 .2.11 and 7 .2.14 for reference.
Unscheduled absences have a significant detrimental impact to the Company's operation.
Unscheduled absences are to be handled as follows:

prior to the beginning of their shift to notify the Company of any unscheduled
absence.
(2) When calling the Absence Line, Customer Care Specialists are expected to leave
their name, employee number, team manager's name, reason they can't come in,
expected date and time of return, and callback number for that day.

regarding the nature of their absence, i.e., Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
(4) In cases where further information is required, the Customer Care Specialist may
be contacted.
A pattern of unscheduled absences triggers an administrative investigation that may
result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
IV. No Call No Show
This is considered serious misconduct; therefore, a Customer Care Specialist who does
not report to work or notify the Customer Care Center of their intent to be absent prior to
the beginning of their shift, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
V. Tardies
(1) Customer Care Specialists are expected to be at their desk ready to take calls at
the start of their shift. Employees who log in late, log out early, return late from
breaks and lunches may be subject to disciplinary action.

bank for a rolling 12 calendar month period. Replenishment of each occurrence is
returned to your tardy bank 12 months later from the date of the occurrence.

action. ALL tardies (including reasons such as illness, traffic, etc.) greater than
one minute 59 seconds and less than two hours will be counted in the tardy bank.
Snow days may be granted at management's discretion.

(4) Customer Care Specialists will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the
tardies entered into their schedules by acknowledging schedule alerts in Schedule
Viewer. If the Customer Care Specialist feels there is a discrepancy, they should
email a member of management to investigate within 10 calendar days.
Vl. Time Off Without Pay
1. Time off without pay is unacceptable and will NOT be granted unless the
time off qualifies under the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act), or other
qualifying leave approved by Management.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 85
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
2. With the exception of (1) above, employees may be subject to disciplinary
action for using time off without pay.
3. If an employee has exhausted all their available paid time off or are unable
to accrue enough paid time off, any remaining scheduled time off may be
cancelled at Management's discretion.
Vll. Ten-Hour Shift Agreement
This agreement is for regular full-time employees and regular part-time employees and
will remain in effect until either party gives sixty (60) day's written notice of their desire to
end this arrangement. If such notice is provided, the schedule will cease and employees
will be assigned to their new schedule in accordance with Article 4.1.1, no later than the
beginning of the first full pay period after the sixty-day notice has expired.
Based on this agreement for a ten-hour shift, the parties agree to modify the following
Articles in the Agreement for the Customer Care Center:
Article 4.1.1
Ten consecutive hours (except time out for meals) shall constitute a normal day's work
for the Company. Other changes may be made by mutual agreement by the parties
hereto. Employees shall receive a minimum notice of 5 working days prior to changing
their shift. It is understood that the definition of "regular hours" in this agreement is
ten hours, including vacation and sick leave days.
Article 4.1.2
Four days (40 hours) shall constitute the normal workweek for all employees working
ten-hour shifts. The work schedule shall provide for a minimum of (2) consecutive days
off within a 7-day workweek. (An example of such would be a Friday, Saturday, Monday,
and Tuesday shift where (2) consecutive days off Wednesday and Thursday were
provided)
Regular part-time employees are paid overtime when work exceeds ten (10) consecutive
hams in a day or their first or second day off of their consecutive days off for the regular
40-hour work week (for example, a regular part-time employee whose regular shift is
Monday and Tuesday their regular work week is Monday through Thursday; therefore,
overtime will not be paid until Friday, Saturday or Sunday).
Article 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 ten (10) 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.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 86
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Article7.1.1
The Floating Holiday must be scheduled with management prior to being granted.
Regular Full-Time employees will receive 8 hours holiday pay. Part-time employees
will receive a prorated amount. These hours may or may not be supplemented with
vacation leave and must be used in the full allotment.
Regular Full-time employees who call in absent on a working holiday will be paid 8
hours holiday pay and 2 hours vacation or 2 hours sick leave whichever is
applicable. Part-time employees will receive 6 hours holiday pay and 4 hours
vacation or 4 hours sick leave whichever is applicable.
Article7.2
Sick Leave & Vacation: Utilization of accrued leave shall be by the hours of work actually
missed by the employee.
Additional Provisions:
Weekend Differential
A 2% weekend differential will be paid in accordance with section 4. 7 of the current Labor
Agreement when working a shift meeting both of the following criteria:
1. The work shift schedule does not provide for 3 consecutive days off within a 7-day
window.
2. The work shift requires the employee to work on Saturday.
Other ten-hour shifts that do not meet the above criteria shall not receive any differential.
It is mutually agreed that the terms and conditions of this agreement are not precedent
setting for future agreements.
Shift trades will not cause a shift differential.
Implementation of This Schedule
The parties agree to work with the successful bidders to these schedules to ensure they
are scheduled to work a full week in which these employees move to their new schedule
(i.e., forty hours for full-time Customer Care Specialists.)
Vill. Working Holiday Agreement
The Customer Care Center is staffed during Company Observed Holidays. Employees
scheduled to work on a Company Observed holiday, will be paid in accordance with the
Agreement.
The business will attempt first to meet staffing needs on holidays through voluntary
overtime. If the voluntary overtime received does not meet staffing needs, the overtime
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 87
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
callout list will be used to fill the remaining shifts needed through mandatory overtime.
You may cancel voluntary overtime for holidays until the email is sent indicating either all
shifts have been filled or mandatory overtime is being applied to fill remaining shifts.
Scheduling vacation days surrounding a holiday will not exempt you from being assigned
mandatory overtime. If someone wants to volunteer for holiday overtime after shifts have
been filled and mandatory overtime was used to fill shifts, they will take the shift of the
last person assigned mandatory overtime and that person will be released from the
mandatory overtime. Any requests for this overtime assignment will need to be submitted
by 8 a.m. on the business day prior to the holiday.
Wasatch Customer Care Center standard business how-son holidays may be between
the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11 p.m. MST depending upon business needs.
*The Floating Holiday must be scheduled with management prior to being granted.
Regular Full-Time employees will receive 8 hours holiday pay. Part-time employees
will receive a prorated amount. These hours may or may not be supplemented with
vacation leave and must be used in the full allotment.
The "observed holidays" contained within the current collective bargaining agreement will
be the actual holiday for employees working this schedule. Holidays will not be moved.
All employees will receive 8-hours of holiday pay.
An employee who works on a holiday will receive an amount equivalent to the time and
one-half (1'/2) rate for all hours worked during their regular shift. The employee will
receive 2X their rate of all additional hours worked.
When a holiday falls on a scheduled day off the employees will receive 8-hours of holiday
pay and this payment will not be considered "time worked" for the purpose of calculating
overtime payments within that workweek. However, if the employee is called into work
overtime on the holiday, the eight hours of work on their normal work schedule will be
paid at time and one-half and the additional hours of work will be paid at double time.
IX. Operating Hours/Staffing/Shifts
The Customer Care Center established hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7
a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Staffing for extended hours will be on a
voluntary basis; should there be insufficient or surplus volunteers to fill the staffing needs,
seniority will govern.
Implementation of These Schedules
The parties agree to work with the success full bidders to these schedules to ensure they
are scheduled to work a full week in which these employees move to their new schedule
(i.e., forty hours for full-time Customer Care Center Specialists).
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 88
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
X. Overtime Procedures
If mandatory overtime is needed, those Customer Care Specialists already scheduled to
work (for regular shift or on voluntary overtime) will work the mandatory overtime. If
additional Customer Care Specialists are needed to cover the mandatory overtime, the
Overtime Callout Lists procedure below will be used.
When the overtime list becomes mandatory, callout will start with the lowest overtime and
then the lowest seniority. Employees will be expected to work until relieved or released
by management.
In those instances where the Company determines that employees will be required to
work overtime, the Company will provide as much notice as possible. The Company may
consider sickness, family sickness, inability to perform the work safely and childcare
issues for release of mandatory overtime.
Overtime Callout Lists
Customer Care Specialists will be allowed to select one of three options for overtime
callout. A file with a list of all of the Customer Care Specialists and their selected option
will be maintained in a shared folder. A Customer Care Specialists can at any time notify
their manager via email to change their option; however, the change will not become
effective until an updated Overtime Call Out report can be printed at the end of each pay
period. The options are as follows:
"I Can Come In"
These Customer Care Specialists will be called in first starting with the lowest overtime
and then highest seniority.
"I Might Be Able to Come In"
These Customer Care Specialists will be called in second starting with the lowest
overtime and then highest seniority.
"Do Not Call Unless Mandatory"
These Customer Care Specialists will be call ed only if overtime becomes mandatory.
If mandatory overtime is needed CSE's (outside of emergencies/outages/)will be notified
24 hours prior to shift whenever possible.
Logging Overtime
The supervisor initiating the call for overtime will log as follows:
• Always enter a date and time
• "Yes" - if the Customer Care Specialists has agreed to come in
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 89
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
• "No" - if the Customer Care Specialists could not come in (if mandatory, enter Why
Not)
• "Voice Mail" - leave message indicating we are looking for overtime with date, time,
and a request for them to call 955-2410. Do not come in without calling first
because the need for overtime may be over.
Overtime will not start until a callout time is confirmed. Because mandatory overtime is
generally used for emergencies, the Customer Care Specialist is expected to be here as
soon as possible.
Voluntary Overtime
The above procedure does not waive the Customer Care Specialist's right to volunteer
for overtime when requested.
• Limited overtime can be cancelled within 72 business hours advance notice if the
employee cancelling can find someone to cover the shift or you or if there are
employees on the waiting list to work the shift in question. Instances where
employees cancel or do not report for limited overtime shifts without securing
coverage for that shift may result in an investigation leading to disciplinary action.
• During a 12-month (calendar year) you cannot have more than 5 cancelled
voluntary overtime occurrences with less than 48-business hour notice or it may
result in an investigation leading to disciplinary action.
XI. Workforce Performance Monitoring
The parties agree that the primary intent of monitoring/recording calls is to ensure quality
customer service and for the assessment of employee developmental needs.
The parties agree to the following Performance Monitoring/Recording Guidelines for non-
probationary employees:
1. Wasatch Customer Care Specialists are subject to performance
monitoring/recording at any time. Employees concerned about their personal
activities being monitored/recorded during breaks, meal periods, before or after
work, should not conduct those personal activities at their workstation, because
while it is not the intent to monitor personal communications such monitoring may
occur.
2. Information related to an employee's performance, obtained as a result of
performance monitoring /recording will be primarily used for coaching, counseling,
and training purposes. Discipline may result when appropriate. Employee's
performance information will be kept confidential between the employee and
management. The exceptions being those employees making the top ten
performers for the month and employees wishing to have their scores posted.
Employees may authorize the release of performance information to union
representation if they so choose.
PacifiCorp/IBEW Local 57 Power Delivery 90
2023-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement
3. Performance monitoring/recordings shall be averaged to ensure that an employee
is not adversely impacted by the evaluation of a single call. The Company shall
ensure a minimum of three (3) monitoring sessions in a month, given that the
Customer Care Specialist is at work at least three (3) weeks in the month. All calls
monitored each month will be included in the average, regardless of the number
of calls that were monitored. More monitoring sessions are preferred than less.
4. The results of performance monitoring/recording will be shared as soon as
possible with the employee by e-mail for developmental purposes. The results of
the call may be challenged by the employee within ten (10) working days of
receiving the evaluation.
5. Reasonable performance monitoring/recording guidelines will be established by
the Company and eQuality Guidelines and Definitions Documents shall be made
readily available to the Customer Care Specialists. The Union shall be advised of
all monitoring methods, measures, and calibration changes in writing. Any
calibration changes shall be communicated by Hot Topic e-mail to Customer Care
Specialists, with a ten (10) working day grace period before marking employees
down on an evaluation for that change. Customer Care Specialists shall be allowed
to review Hot Topic and company e-mail during after call work.
6. Performance monitoring/recording guidelines eQuality shall be conducted by
trained evaluators. The intent of performance monitoring is to be as objective as
possible. Evaluators must calibrate their e-Quality scoring with each other on at
least a quarterly basis.
