RE:

Board of Commissioners
Carol Bealor, Chief Judge
Law & Courts
Motion to adopt 3rd Addendum to 3/7/24 Cass County Opioid Settlement
Funding Plan.

REQUEST:
Approve the 3rd Addendum to 3/7/24 Cass County Opioid Settlement Funding Plan as unanimously
recommended by the Cass County Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND:
Cass County’s Board of Commissioners established the Cass County Opioid Settlement Advisory
Committee on 8/10/23 to plan for spending of the Opioid Settlement Funds directed to Cass County.
Cass County’s Board of Commissioners adopted the Cass County Opioid Settlement Funding Plan
on 3/7/24 and that plan has been amended twice by way of the 1st Addendum and 2nd Addendum.
There is a desire by the advisory committee to allow for broader inclusion of advisory members in
funding request reviews instead of delegating that function to the County Administrator, Finance
Director, Chair of the Advisory Committee and Co-Chair of the Advisory Committee. Now that the
Advisory Committee has been functioning for some time and broader resources are available to
review funding requests in line with Exhibit E, it is important to allow for broader representation of
perspectives in the funding request reviews to assure alignment with Exhibit E and the purpose
behind opioid settlement funding.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF CASS, the CASS COUNTY PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY, the CASS COUNTY CLERK/REGISTER, and the CASS COUNTY TREASURER,
hereinafter collectively referred to as "Employer,” and the CASS COUNTY INDEPENDENT
EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION, hereinafter referred to as the "Association."
Purpose and Intent
The general purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions of employment that
will prevail for the duration of this Agreement, and to promote orderly and peaceful labor relations
for the mutual interest of the Employer, the employees, and the Association.
The parties recognize that the interest of the community and the job security of the employees
depend upon the Employer's success in maintaining, on as efficient a basis as possible, proper
service to the community.

Section 2. Aid to Other Associations. The Employer will not aid, promote, or finance any labor
group or organization which purports to engage in collective bargaining for the members of the
bargaining unit or make any agreement with any such group or organization for the purpose of
undermining the Association.
Section 3. Non-discrimination. The Employer and the Association agree that for the duration of
the Agreement, neither shall engage in unlawful discrimination of any kind, nor shall the Employer
or its agents nor the Association, its agents or members, discriminate against any employee because
of membership or non-membership in the Association. The Employer and the Association agree to
cooperate and make reasonable accommodations as required by law for qualified individuals with
disabilities requesting accommodation to ensure equal and full access to hiring and employment.

covered by this Agreement, the Employer will each month deduct from the employee's pay the

deductions which have been made. The Association shall indemnify the Employer and hold it
harmless against any and all suits, claims, demands and liabilities that may arise out of or by reason
of the adoption of the foregoing provisions, or that shall arise out of or by reason of any action that
may be taken by the Employer for the purpose of complying with the foregoing provisions or in
reliance of any notice or assessment which shall have been furnished to the Employer under the
foregoing provisions.

pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, employees shall not be permitted to engage
in Association activity during working time.

ARTICLE 4—GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Grievance Defined. A grievance shall be defined as any dispute regarding the meaning,
interpretation, application, or alleged violation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2. Probationary Employees. New employees who are serving their probationary period
may be discharged or placed on layoff without recourse to the Grievance Procedure.
Section 3. Grievance Procedure. An employee who believes they have a grievance must submit
their grievance in accordance with the following procedure:
STEP ONE (1): In order to use this grievance procedure, an employee must prepare a written
“grievance” document signed by the employee and a Steward stating:
a) Specific facts upon which the grievance is based (what occurred);
b) The specific date(s) and time(s) the activity complained of occurred (when it occurred);
c) The names of the persons involved and/or witnesses to the activity complained of (who was
involved);
d) The specific Articles and Sections of this agreement which allegedly have been violated; and
e) The remedy requested.
The grievance must be filed with the aggrieved employee's Department Head/Elected Official
within seven (7) working days of the occurrence or within seven (7) working days of the time that
the employee should have reasonably had knowledge of the occurrence. The Department
Head/Elected Official shall submit a written answer to the grievance to the Steward within seven (7)
working days of receipt of the grievance.
If the answer is acceptable and resolves the pending grievance, it shall be signed by the Department
Head/Elected Official, Steward, and the grievant, with each retaining a copy of the settlement.
Grievance settlements by Department Heads/Elected Officials shall be non-precedent-setting and
may not be used in the settlement of other grievances.
STEP TWO (2): If the grievance has not been settled in Step One (1), the grievant and/or Steward
shall submit the written grievance along with any answer received to the County Administrator
within seven (7) working days of the Step One (1) answer or within seven (7) working days of when
the Step One (1) answer should have been received.
The County Administrator shall meet with the grievant, the Steward, and the Department
Head/Elected Official within ten (10) working days after receipt of the appeal. The Employer’s
Labor Counsel and the Association Labor Counsel may participate.
A written answer to the grievance shall be submitted to the Association within ten (10) working
days after the next scheduled meeting of the Board of Commissioners. This answer is non-binding.

6
Page 57 of 120

Page 58 of 120

If the answer is acceptable and resolves the pending grievance, it shall be signed by the grievant, the
Steward, the Association President, the County Administrator, and the Department Head/Elected
Official, with each retaining a copy of the grievance settlement agreement.
STEP THREE (3): If the grievance is not resolved in the foregoing steps, the Association may
submit a request to the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) for grievance
arbitration in accordance with procedures set forth by MERC, provided, however, that the
submission of the grievance to arbitration is made within thirty (30) working days of the Step Three
(3) answer. The Arbitrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from, change or modify any
provision of this Agreement.
Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of the Arbitrator, in his own judgment, to
sustain, reverse, or modify any alleged unjust discipline. No back pay shall be awarded for more
than thirty (30) days prior to the grievance being filed in writing.
The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties hereto. While there is no
charge to the parties for MERC’s role in the grievance arbitration process, the daily rate set by the
Arbitrator, along with any other costs associated with the MERC grievance arbitration process, shall
be borne equally by the Employer and the Association, except that both the Employer and the
Association shall each pay their own attorney fees, if any.
Section 4. Time Limits. Time limits at any Step of the grievance procedure may be extended only
by written agreement between the Employer and the Association. In the event the Association does
not appeal a grievance from one Step to the next within the time limits specified, the grievance shall
be considered as being withdrawn by the Association. In the event the Employer fails to reply to a
grievance at any Step of the grievance procedure within the specified time limits, the grievance
shall automatically be referred to the next Step in the grievance procedure; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed to automatically refer a grievance to arbitration.
Section 5. Discharge and Discipline Grievances. Grievances challenging Suspension or
Discharge by a Department Head or Elected Official shall begin at Step Two (2) of the Grievance
Procedure.
Section 6. Grievance Against County Administrator. If a grievance involves the County
Administrator or allegations regarding conduct by the County Administrator, the grievance shall
instead be submitted to the Human Resources Director and the Chairperson of the Board of
Commissioners. The Human Resources Director and Board Chair shall coordinate the Employer’s
response and any meeting required. The County Administrator shall not participate in the review or
determination of the grievance except as necessary to provide information relevant to the grievance.
ARTICLE 5—DISCHARGE AND SUSPENSION CASES
Section 1. Grievance Filing. In the event an employee who has completed their probationary
period shall be suspended from work for disciplinary reasons or is discharged from their
employment after the date hereof, and they believe they have been unjustly suspended or
discharged, such suspension or discharge shall constitute a case arising under the grievance
procedure provided a written grievance with respect thereto is presented to the Elected

7
Page 58 of 120

Page 59 of 120

Official/Department Head within seven (7) working days after such discharge or after the start of
such suspension.
a) The Employer agrees to promptly notify, in writing, the Association of any suspension or
discharge, within 1 working day.
b) Upon the Employee's request, the Employer will discuss the discharge or suspension of an
Employee in the presence of their Steward, provided the Steward is on duty and reasonably
available. A discharged or suspended employee will be allowed to discuss their discharge or
suspension with their Steward, provided they are on duty and reasonably available, and the
Employer will make available a meeting room where they may do so before they are
required to leave the property of the Employer.
c) It is understood and agreed that when an employee files a grievance with respect to their
suspension or discharge, the act of filing such grievance shall constitute their authorization
to the Employer to reveal to the decision-making participants in the grievance procedure any
and all relevant information available to the Employer concerning the alleged offenses and
such filing shall further constitute a release of the Employer from any and all claimed
liability by reason of such disclosure. The decision-making participants in the grievance
procedure shall determine the relevancy of the employee's work record.
Section 2. Back Pay Calculation. In the event it should be decided under the grievance procedure
that the employee was unjustly suspended or discharged, the Employer shall reinstate such
employee and pay full compensation, partial, or no compensation, as may be decided under the
grievance procedure, which compensation, if any, shall be at the employee's regular rate of pay at
the time of such discharge or the start of such suspension plus any automatic pay increases, less any
additional compensation they may have earned at other employment as a result of the suspension or
discharge, and less the amount of any unemployment compensation benefits.
ARTICLE 6—STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS
Section 1. Pledge. The Association agrees that during the life of this Agreement neither the
Association, its agents, nor its members will authorize, instigate, aid, condone or engage in a work
stoppage, slowdown, strike, or any other concerted activity which interferes with the operations of
the Employer. The Employer agrees that during the same period there will be no lockouts.
Section 2. Discipline. Individual employees or groups of employees who instigate, aid, or engage
in a work stoppage, slowdown, strike, or any other concerted activity which interferes with the
operations of the Employer may be disciplined or discharged in the sole discretion of the Employer.
ARTICLE 7—SENIORITY
Section 1. Definition. Seniority shall be defined as an employee's length of continuous
employment with the Employer since their last hiring date in a position under this contract. "Last
hiring date" shall mean the date upon which an employee first reported for work at the instruction of
the Employer and since which they have not quit, retired, or been discharged. No time shall be
deducted from an employee's seniority due to absences occasioned by authorized leaves of absence,
vacations, sick or accident leaves, or for layoffs, except as hereinafter provided. For example: nonunion employment doesn’t count toward seniority in the CCIEA and employment under the Courts’
CCIEA Contract doesn’t create seniority under the General Unit’s CCIEA Contract.

Section 2. Temporary employees. Notwithstanding the above, the Employer reserves the
unilateral right to hire temporary employees to do bargaining unit work upon such terms and
conditions as it may stipulate for a period not to exceed Seven Hundred Twenty (720) hours of work
per department per calendar year. No credit towards seniority shall be provided to a temporary
employee for time during which they provided services as such. If a part-time employee becomes a
full-time employee after doing temporary work equivalent to ninety (90) calendar days, with no
break in service, they will immediately be afforded the benefits provided to other full-time
bargaining unit members.
County Administration must notify the Association President, in writing, within five (5) working
days of any temporary employees hired or whose work has concluded, and the number of hours
worked at the conclusion of each employment period.
Section 3. Seniority Accrual. Seniority shall continue to accrue during all periods of active
employment, during periods of paid leaves of absence, during the first thirty (30) working days of
unpaid leave of absence as provided in Article VIII, during absences covered by Worker's
Compensation or absences compensated by Employer-provided long-term disability, and for the
first ninety (90) working days of a lay-off. When seniority no longer accrues as described
hereinabove, it shall remain frozen unless the employee returns to active employment within one (1)
year. No credit towards seniority shall be provided to a temporary employee for time during which
they provided services as such.
Section 4. Probationary Period. All new employees hired shall be probationary employees for the
first ninety (90) calendar days immediately following their employment. The purpose of the
probationary period is to provide an opportunity for the Employer to determine whether the
employee has the ability and other attributes which will qualify them for regular employee status.
During this probationary period, the employee may be laid off or terminated in the sole discretion of
the Employer without regard to their relative length of service and without recourse to the grievance
procedure.
The Employer may extend the probationary period of a new employee to one hundred eighty (180)
calendar days provided:
a) The employee is notified in writing three (3) working days before the expiration of the initial
ninety (90) day probationary period; and
b) The employee receives fringe benefits afforded to non-probationary employees upon the
completion of the initial ninety (90) day probationary period.
The ninety (90) day probationary period does not apply to benefits. Benefits eligibility, including
health insurance, retirement, short-term disability, and any other like items, begin on day ninety-one
(91) of employment for a new hire. MERS Retirement begins the first full pay period after a 3month waiting period per the MERS Adoption Agreements.
Section 5. Seniority List. The Cass County Administrator’s office shall maintain an up-to-date
seniority list. A copy of the seniority list will be made available to the Association President upon
request. The Cass County Administrator’s office shall notify the Association of any new hires as
well as employees who leave the employment of the Employer within five (5) working days. The
9
Page 60 of 120

Page 61 of 120

Cass County Administrator’s office shall also notify the Association of the names and
classifications of temporary employees and their starting dates as set forth above in Section 2.
Seniority lists shall be updated when a probationary employee is added to the seniority list in order
of last hiring date. If two or more employees are hired on the same date, their names shall appear
on the seniority list alphabetically by the first letter or letters of their last names. If two or more
such employees have the same last name, the same procedure shall be followed with respect to their
first names.
Section 6. Loss of Seniority. An employee's seniority shall terminate:
a) If they quit, retire, or are discharged.
b) If, following a layoff, they fail or refuse to notify the Employer of their intention to return to
work within seven (7) working days after a written notice by certified mail of such recall is
sent to their last known address on record with the Employer, or, having notified the
Employer of their intention to return, fails to do so within fourteen (14) working days after
the date such notice is sent.
c) If they are absent for three (3) consecutive working days without notifying the Employer
before, or during such three (3) day period, of a justifiable reason for the absence.
d) When they have been laid off for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months.
Section 7. Posting and Bidding. All vacancies and newly created positions in the bargaining unit
shall be posted for a period of five (5) working days. During such five (5) day period, employees
may bid for such job or vacancy by submitting a county application and any other required
materials as outlined in the posting instructions. The consideration for the vacancy in the
bargaining unit among applicants shall be in accordance with the following procedures:
a) The employee(s) working in the department where the opening occurs shall be considered
first, taking into consideration the qualifications set by the Employer, giving priority to
employees with the highest seniority. In the event the employee applicant with the highest
seniority is denied the job, the general reasons for denial shall, upon request, be given in
writing to the employee.
b) If there are no bidding employees from the department where the opening occurs who meet
the qualifications set by the Employer, the Employer shall consider other applicants who are
members of the bargaining unit who have bid on the position and meet the qualifications for
the position set by the Employer before instituting the hiring procedure to persons outside
the bargaining unit.
c) An employee’s seniority status is only one factor considered in the hiring process. It is used
to allow the employee to be considered first before external applicants and others with lower
seniority. It does not guarantee that the employee will be promoted. If no bidding employee
is satisfactory to the Employer, at the Employer’s sole discretion, then the Employer may
assign a probationary employee who is satisfactory to the Employer or institute the hiring
procedure to persons outside the bargaining unit.

Section 8. Trial Period. When a non-probationary employee is awarded a job under the provisions
set forth in Section 7 of this Article, the successful bidder shall be on trial (Job probation) for a
period of thirty days of actual work after being assigned to their new classification. During such
period, an employee may be removed from their new classification at any time demonstrates to the
Employer’s satisfaction, at their sole discretion, that they are or will be unable to satisfactorily
perform the requirements of such job.
An employee who, during the trial period, is removed from a job classification for which they had
bid because of their inability to perform the requirements thereof, shall be returned to the last job
classification and department assignment they had occupied immediately preceding their new
assignment. Any person who had succeeded the employee in their previous job classification shall
be, in the case of an existing employee, returned to their previous position. In the case of a
probationary employee, such employee shall be subject to discharge or reassignment at the sole
discretion of the Employer. In the event of the utilization of these provisions, the job shall be reposted pursuant to procedures herein provided.
During the Trial Period as set forth above, the employee will be evaluated by the Employer or their
designee on a biweekly basis and advised in writing of their performance in the new job.
Section 9. Layoff and Recall. If it is necessary to reduce the number of employees in a job
classification in a department, probationary employees, then part-time employees in the job
classification in that department, shall be laid off first. Thereafter, if it is necessary to further
reduce the number of employees in a job classification in a department, full-time employees shall be
removed on the basis of their seniority, provided always that the remaining employees have the
then-present ability to perform the available work in such classification in the department. “Then
present ability” means the skill, ability, and qualifications to immediately perform the duties of the
position with minimal to no training needed. Employees removed from a classification in a
department may exercise their seniority in any other equal or lower rated classification in the
bargaining unit provided they have the then-present ability to perform the available work in such
classification. If no such position exists within the department, then the employee may exercise
their seniority in a classification in another department if the Department Head or Elected Official
agrees, provided that they have the then-present ability to perform the available work in such
classification. Employees shall be recalled to their former department and classification in
accordance with their seniority, provided always that they have the then-present ability to perform
the available work.
When an employee is to be recalled, the following procedure will be used:
a) When a position is reinstated, the most senior employee on lay-off, who has the skill, ability,
and qualifications to perform the duties of that position, shall be recalled first.
b) When employees on lay-off are to be recalled, the Employer will send a certified letter to the
last address of record in the Personnel Department, notifying the employee of their recall to
work and the date of their return. This will be done, even if the employee or spouse has also
been contacted by phone or otherwise.

11
Page 62 of 120

Page 63 of 120

c) An employee who fails to contact the Employer within seven (7) calendar days following
receipt of recall notice, or the date specified in the notice of recall, whichever is later, shall
be considered to have quit.
The Employers, County, and the union agree that economic decisions regarding employment are not
subject to collective bargaining, as a matter of current law, and remain the exclusive prerogative of
the Employers and County. In recognition of the important role of union leadership in
communicating with union members and maintaining seniority rights, the Employers and County
agree to provide written notice to the affected employee(s) and union president of the intent to
implement economic layoffs sixty (60) or more days before any economic layoffs occur. The
Employers and County further agree that seniority and bumping rights set forth herein will be
followed in the event that any economic layoffs occur.
Section 10. Temporary Transfers. The Employer shall have the right to temporarily transfer
employees within the bargaining unit from one job classification to another to cover for employees
who are absent from work due to illness, accident, vacations, or leaves of absence for
the period of such absences. The Employer shall also have the right to temporarily transfer an
employee from one job classification to another within the bargaining unit to fill a job or situation
which may arise for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days in any calendar year. It is
understood and agreed that any employee within the unit temporarily transferred in accordance with
the provisions of this Section shall not acquire any permanent title or right to the job to which they
are is temporarily transferred.
a) The procedure outlined above shall also apply when an employee is temporarily assigned to
a different department but within the same job classification.
b) When an employee is temporarily transferred for the convenience of the Employer from one
job classification to another as provided in this Section, they shall continue to be paid the
salary to which they are entitled in their permanent job classification unless they are
transferred to a job classification for which the maximum rate range is higher than their
permanent job classification, in which event their salary shall be increased for the period of
such transfer to the level they would have received had they been awarded the job.
c) If and when a temporary transfer or temporary assignment is for a period of more than
fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days, employees in the affected department who, in the
Employer's judgment, can be spared from their work and are fully qualified for the available
work will be offered the opportunity on the basis of seniority.
Section 11. Transfers Outside the Unit. If an employee voluntarily transfers to a position with the
Employer that is outside of the bargaining unit and, thereafter, within six (6) months, transfers back
into a position within the bargaining unit, they shall have accumulated seniority while working in
the position to which they transferred. Employees transferring under the above circumstances shall
retain all rights accrued for the purpose of any benefits provided in this Agreement. After six (6)
months, the employee's seniority shall be frozen if they remain outside the bargaining unit for
purposes of returning to the unit at a later date.

ARTICLE 8—LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Section 1. Personal Leave. The Employer may grant a leave of absence for personal reasons, not
to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, without pay and without loss of seniority to an employee who
has completed their probationary period, provided good cause exists for the employee's request, and
the employee can be spared from their work. The thirty (30) calendar days may be taken
intermittently, with the total being thirty (30) calendar days in a calendar year.
Section 2. Leave pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Below is a general
description of Association employees’ FMLA rights. In the event of any conflict between what is
stated herein and the applicable law, employees will be afforded all rights afforded by applicable
law.
A. Leave Entitlements: Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected
leave in a 12-month period for the following reasons:
•
•
•
•
•

The birth of a child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care;
To bond with a child (leave must be taken within 1 year of the child’s birth or
placement);
To care for the employee’s spouse, child, or parent who has a qualifying serious health
condition;
For the employee’s own qualifying serious health condition that makes the employee
unable to perform the employee’s job;
For qualifying exigencies related to the foreign deployment of a military member who is
the employee’s spouse, child, or parent.

An eligible employee who is a covered service member’s spouse, child, parent, or next of
kin may also take up to 26 weeks of FMLA leave in a single 12-month period to care for the
service member with a serious injury or illness.
An employee does not need to use leave in one block. When it is medically necessary or
otherwise permitted, employees may take leave intermittently or on a reduced schedule.
Employees must use accrued paid leave time (ETO and vacation time) for the initial FMLA
leave, with the remainder of any FMLA leave taken as unpaid time. Employees may reserve
up to 40 hours in their choice of leave bank(s) for use after their return from FMLA. If an
employee receives replenished ETO for concurrent STD leave in the amount of 40 hours or
more, they will not be allowed to reserve additional hours.
B. Benefits and Protections: While employees are on FMLA leave, the Employer must
continue health insurance coverage as if the employees were not on leave. Upon return from
FMLA leave, most employees must be restored to the same job or one nearly identical to it
with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms and conditions in conformity
with the requirements of applicable law.

13
Page 64 of 120

Page 65 of 120

The Employer shall not interfere with employees’ FMLA rights or retaliate against an
employee for using or trying to use FMLA leave, opposing any practice made unlawful by
the FMLA, or being involved in any proceeding under or related to the FMLA.
C. Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for FMLA leave, the employee must:
1. Have worked for the Employer for at least 12 months; and
2. Have at least 1,250 hours of service in the 12 months before taking leave.
D. Requesting Leave: Generally, employees must give thirty (30) calendar days’ advance
notice of the need for FMLA leave. If it is not possible to give thirty (30) calendar days’
notice, an employee must notify the Employer as soon as possible and, generally, follow the
Employer’s usual procedures for time off requests.
Employees do not have to share a medical diagnosis but must provide enough information to
the Employer so the Employer can determine if the leave qualifies for FMLA protection.
Sufficient information could include informing the Employer that the employee is or will be
unable to perform his or her job functions, that a family member cannot perform daily
activities, or that hospitalization or continuing medical treatment is necessary.
Employees must inform the Employer if the need for leave is for a reason for which FMLA
leave was previously taken or certified. Employers can require a certification or periodic
recertification supporting the need for leave. If the employer determines that the certification
is incomplete, it must provide a written notice indicating what additional information is
required.
E. Employer Responsibilities: Once an Employer becomes aware that an employee’s need
for leave is for a reason that may qualify under the FMLA, the Employer must notify the
employee if he or she is eligible for FMLA leave and, if eligible, must also provide a notice
of rights and responsibilities under the FMLA. If the employee is not eligible, the Employer
must provide a reason for ineligibility. Employers must notify employees if leave will be
designated as FMLA leave, and if so, how much leave will be designated as FMLA leave.
Note: All requests for family and medical leave must be in writing and be forwarded to the
employee’s immediate supervisor, the Department Head/Elected Official, and the County
Administration/HR office.
Section 3. Field Training Leave. Leaves of absence without pay and without loss of seniority
shall be granted to employees who are active in the National Guard or a branch of the Armed Forces
Reserves for the purpose of fulfilling their annual field training obligations or required tours of
active duty. Applications for leaves of absence for such purposes must be made as soon as possible
after the employee's receipt of their orders.
Section 4. Military Leave. An employee who enters the military service by draft or enlistment
shall be granted a leave of absence for that purpose and at the conclusion of such leave of absence
shall be reinstated in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Selective Service Training Act
and any other applicable laws then effective.

14

Section 5. Bereavement Leave. Employees who, at the time, have completed their probationary
period shall receive an amount of pay which they would have received on a regular, straight-time
basis, not to exceed eight (8) hours, for each day necessarily lost from their regularly scheduled
work, not to exceed three (3) working days, for bereavement leave due to the loss of a loved one.
Loved One for purposes of this section means family (not covered in the definition of immediate
family below) and other individuals with whom the employee had a close personal relationship.
Examples of close personal relationships include but are not limited to grandparents, in-laws, aunts,
uncles, foster children, and close friends. This payment shall not be made for any of such three (3)
working days on which the employee, for any other reason, would have been absent from work. To
be eligible for bereavement pay, the employee must notify the Employer as soon as possible of the
necessity for such absence. Bereavement leave for the loss of a spouse/partner, child, or parent of
the employee or a person equivalent to a spouse/partner, child, or parent of the employee shall be
five (5) working days.
Section 6. Jury Leave. Employees who, at the time they are summoned to serve as jurors in any
court of general jurisdiction of the United States or the State of Michigan, have completed their
probationary period, shall be provided leave of absence with pay and without loss of seniority for
the duration of their jury service. Deducted from their regular pay for the duration of their service
shall be a sum equal to jury pay, if any, minus any sums allocated for travel.
ARTICLE 9—HOURS & LOCATION
Section 1. Hours Worked. The normal workday shall consist of eight (8) hours per day. The
normal work week shall consist of forty (40) hours per week. For all classifications, the days
worked shall be Monday through Friday and the work weeks shall be defined by the applicable
payroll periods. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as a guarantee of 40 hours of
work per week or 8 hours of work or pay per day. The regular hours of work shall be 8:00 a. m. to
5:00 p.m. unless defined differently by department (example: Maintenance Department).
Section 2. Break Periods. Employees shall be entitled to breaks as follows:
A. Mid-Shift Breaks: A fifteen (15) minute paid break period at or near the midpoint of the
first half of their shift and a fifteen (15) minute paid break period at or near the midpoint of
the second half of their shift.
B. Lunch Break: All employees shall have a one (1) hour unpaid lunch period. It is
understood and agreed that the timing of the break and lunch periods will be scheduled by
the immediate supervisor and may be staggered to keep each department open throughout
the day and may vary depending upon the nature of the work being performed by the
employee at the time.
C. Adjusted Lunch Hour: If an employee requests and is granted an adjusted start/end time as
allowed under the terms of this contract, the employee may, upon approval of the employer,
take a half-hour lunch to offset the adjusted start/end time.
D. Punctuality & Readiness to Work: Employees shall be required to be ready to start to
work at the beginning of their shift and shall be required to remain at work until the end of
their shift except for lunch periods and breaks provided above. Ready to start work at the
beginning of the shift means that employees must be at their assigned work location, ready,
and prepared to start performing their job duties.

15

Section 3. Overtime. Overtime work may be required when, in the judgment of the Employer, it is
necessary. Every effort will be made, when possible, to notify employees in advance of overtime
needs.
Section 4. Adjusted Start/End Time. By mutual agreement of the employer and the union
employee, taking into consideration business needs and staffing, the start and/or end time for the
employee’s regularly scheduled workday could be adjusted up to 30 minutes. The use of an adjusted
start/end time is to be used on a situational basis, when it can be accommodated and is not to be
used to approve permanent schedule changes.
Section 5. Work Location. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that the main place of
business for the Employer is the County Building located at 120 N. Broadway, Cassopolis,
Michigan, 49031 and the Cass County Law and Courts Building located at 60296 M-62, Cassopolis,
Michigan 49031, or other locations in Cass County maintained by the County, and that these
locations are the expected location for employees to report for their scheduled work hours based on
their work assignment.
Section 6. Remote Work. The ability of an employee to work remotely is not guaranteed, nor is
any past provision of remote work that was required during the COVID-19 pandemic considered
standard practice of the Employer. Remote work decisions are left in the sole discretion of the
Employer based on the needs of the Employer. Any remote work will be subject to a remote work
policy as determined appropriate by the employee’s elected official and/or department head
ARTICLE 10—WAGES
Section 1. Wage Rates. The current wage rates are set forth in Appendix B attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof. The Classification and Compensation Study adopted in 2025 will

following processes:
A. This will be an annual nine (9) step scale.
B. Those active employees who are off the step pay scale and are no longer receiving step
increases, determined as of January 1st, would be entitled to an annual lump sum payment in

D. An employee’s step increase is not automatic and is at the sole discretion of an employee’s
supervisor with concurrence of their Department Head/Elected Official. Step increases can
be denied for failure to meet minimum employment standards; however, step increases may
not be denied unless written notification is given to the affected employee of the deficiency
and the intent to deny step increase before September 1 of the applicable year. Standard
grievance procedures will apply in the event a step increase is denied.
E. If a step increase is denied, the Department Head/Elected Official will give the time period
for the employee to improve their work performance and be re-evaluated.

16

Page 68 of 120

Section 2. Overtime. Overtime will be at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) of the regular hourly
rate of pay for all assigned work in excess of forty (40) hours per week and at the rate of two (2)
times the regular hourly rate of pay for all assigned work performed on holidays celebrated under
this Agreement. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime hours. In lieu of overtime payments,
compensatory time off on a basis permitted by Federal and State law may be granted with the
mutual consent of the Elected Official/Department Head and the employee.
Section 3. Call In. When an employee is called in to work at a time other than their regularly
scheduled shift, such employee shall be paid at a minimum of two (2) hours at a time and one-half

greater. The minimum pay provision does not apply to employees who were previously scheduled
to start work before their regular starting time, provided said change in the schedule was made at
least five (5) working days in advance of the new starting time. The Call In provision shall not
apply to those employees who may be retained after their regular quitting time, nor shall it apply to
employees who are called for periods of less than one hour before their shift, but who continue to
work their regular shift thereafter.
Section 4. Hours Lost from Scheduled Work. In the event the Employer directs certain
employees not to report to work, or to leave work due to weather conditions, power shortages, or
other operational conditions beyond the control of the Employer, such employees shall be paid their
applicable rate for all such hours lost from regularly scheduled hours, subject to the following
terms:
A. Previous Vacation/ETO: Employees who were previously scheduled to be out at the time
the Employer directs employees in their specific department to not report to work, or to
leave work due to weather conditions, power shortages, or other operational conditions
beyond the control of the Employer, shall not be required to use their previously approved
vacation or ETO time for the time that the Employer directed employees to not report to or
to leave work.
B. Illness, Injury, or Other Personal Circumstances: This provision does not include
sending a sick employee home or directing an employee to leave or not report to work for
circumstances specific to that individual employee, including illness, injury, or other
personal circumstances as allowed under this contract, county policies, and/or applicable
law. If an employee is visibly ill or exhibiting symptoms that the employer reasonably
believes may pose a workplace health risk to coworkers, the employer may direct the
employee to leave the workplace to ensure the safety of all employees. An employee who is
asked to leave for these reasons will be required to use paid time off such as
ETSA/ETO/VAC/COMP to cover their time off. If an employee has no hours in their leave
bank(s), then the time off will be unpaid.
Section 5. New Permanent Job Classifications. When and if the Employer decides that it is
necessary to create a permanent new job classification, or to effect a substantial change in an
existing job classification, it shall set the rate of pay therefore and advise the Association. If the
Association disagrees with the rate of pay, it may file a grievance with respect thereto provided that
the grievance is filed within ten (10) regularly scheduled working days after notice to the
Association of the proposed rate of pay. If, as a result of grievance settlement or resolution, a
different rate of pay is established, the new rate shall become effective as of the date the job
classification was created.

issued each year to receive the bonus.
ARTICLE 11—EARNED TIME OFF (ETO)
Section 1. ETO Credit. Each employee of record on October 1 will be credited with 84 hours of
earned time off (ETO). Employees working less than 40 hours a week will be credited with ETO on
October 1 based upon their full-time equivalent status. Employees may not have more than a total
of 84 hours of ETO time at any one time in their bank. An employee hired after October 1 will
receive a prorated benefit.
Section 2. ETO Annual Payout. Based on each employee’s ETO balance on September 30 of each
year, the County of Cass will pay the employee 100% of their unused ETO balance up to a
maximum of forty (40) hours. This benefit will be payable in October at the employee’s thencurrent rate of pay.
Section 3. ETO Use Notice. An employee using earned time off will inform the Elected
Official/Department Head or their designee no later than one hour before the beginning of the
Employee’s workday in order to be entitled to use accrued earned time off. If an Employee does
not give such notice, the right to use accrued earned time off is at the discretion of the Elected
Official/Department Head.
Section 4. ETO Reimbursement for Short-Term Disability. If an employee uses ETO hours to
cover the short-term disability waiting period, these hours will be replenished to the employee
upon their return from disability leave. The employee may use the replenished ETO hours for
ESTA-approved purposes only. Hours replenished to an employee for earned time off used to cover
a short-term disability waiting period are not eligible for year-end payout. After replenished hours
have been added to an employee’s ETO bank, ETO time used after replenishment will first be
charged against non-replenished time remaining in the employee’s bank.
Section 5. ETO Separation Payment. If a newly hired Employee does not successfully complete
their probationary period and separates employment, there is no payout of the ETO bank to the
probationary employee at the time of separation.
Section 6. ESTA Requirements & Acknowledgement. The Earned Time Off (ETO) provided
under this Agreement satisfies and exceeds the requirements of the Michigan Earned Sick Time Act
(ESTA). Employees may use ETO for all purposes permitted under ESTA. Use of ETO for ESTAqualifying reasons shall follow the notice, documentation, increment-use, and non-retaliation
standards established in the County’s ETO/ESTA Policy, provided such procedures are not
inconsistent with applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to diminish any
rights provided under ESTA; however, ESTA shall not require the Employer to provide additional

18

Page 70 of 120

paid time beyond the ETO granted under this Agreement, provided this Agreement exceeds the
State minimum standards.
Section 7. Proration of ETO. If an employee is off work on October 1st of any year because of
medical leave or short- or long-term disability leave, the ETO earnings will be prorated based on the
date the employee returns to work. (Example: employee is on disability leave October 1st and
returns to work on January 1st; employee receives 75% of annual ETO earnings. 84 x 75% = 63
hours).
Section 8. Reporting ETO Use. ETO must be reported on the Bi-Weekly Time Report and
submitted through normal timesheet procedures to the Payroll/HR processing department.
Section 9. Minimum ETO Use. The minimum usage of ETO is 15-minute increments.
ARTICLE 12—SHORT TERM DISABILITY
Section 1. Provision of Short-Term Disability Insurance. The County of Cass provides a group
short-term disability insurance program for 67% of pay up to a maximum of $900/week for a
maximum of 26 weeks.
Section 2. Replenishment of ETO. If an employee is ill for fourteen (14) consecutive calendar
days and qualifies for and receives short-term disability benefits from the program, the Employee is
required to use accrued ETO and vacation time for the disability elimination period, and the County
of Cass will replenish the employee for all ETO hours used by the employee during the waiting
period, but replenished hours will not be eligible for end-of-year payout. Any compensatory time,
vacation time, or other paid time used during the waiting period is not replenishable.
Section 3. Health Insurance Coverage. The County of Cass’s health insurance program will
continue while the employee is receiving short-term disability benefits from the program, provided
the employee pays their share under the health insurance program.
Section 4. Reporting Disability Hours. Disability must be reported on the Bi-Weekly Time

Page 71 of 120

Employees who work on a day recognized as a holiday under this Agreement shall receive two (2)
times their regular hourly rate for each hour actually worked, or compensatory time off in
compliance with applicable law.
If any of the above holidays fall on Sunday, then the Monday following shall be considered as the
legal holiday. If any of the above holidays fall on a Saturday, then the Friday preceding shall be
considered as the legal holiday. Any other changes shall be determined by the Cass County Board
of Commissioners.
Section 2. Holiday Qualifications. To be eligible for holiday pay under this Article, an employee
must be a non-probationary employee as of the time the holiday occurs and must have worked their
entire shift the last day they were scheduled to work before the holiday, the day of the holiday if
scheduled to work, and their next scheduled day following such holiday unless otherwise excused
by their Elected Official/Department Head. When a holiday occurs during an employee's regularly
scheduled vacation, their last scheduled workday preceding and following the vacation period shall
be the holiday qualification days.
ARTICLE 14—VACATIONS
Section 1. Vacation Schedule. Employees who have completed one (1) year of continuous service
with the Employer since their last hiring date shall be entitled to paid vacations as hereinafter set
forth:
A. When an employee completes one (1) year of continuous service with the Employer since
their last hiring date, they shall thereafter be entitled to forty (40) hours of paid vacation.
B. Employees who, as of the anniversary date of their last hiring date, have completed two (2)
but less than five (5) years of continuous service with the Employer shall be entitled to
eighty (80) hours of paid vacation.
C. Employees who, as of the anniversary date of their last hiring date, have completed five (5)
but less than ten (10) years of continuous service with the Employer shall be entitled to one
hundred twenty (120) hours of paid vacation.
D. Employees who, as of the anniversary date of their last hiring date, have completed ten (10)
but less than twenty (20) years of continuous service with the Employer shall be entitled to
one hundred sixty (160) hours of paid vacation.
E. Employees who, as of the anniversary date of their last hiring date, have completed twenty
(20) years of continuous service with the Employer shall be entitled to one hundred eightyfour (184) hours of paid vacation.
F. Employees who actually work, or receive vacation time, compensatory time off, ETO, or
holiday time off that totals less than eighteen hundred (1800) hours during the twelve (12)
month period preceding their anniversary date shall receive a prorated vacation benefit.
G. Part-time employees (employees working an average of between twenty (20) and forty (40)

employee.
20

Section 2. Termination Payment. If an employee, who is otherwise eligible for a vacation with
pay, quits, is discharged, dies, or retires on or after the anniversary date upon which they qualify for
such vacation with pay without having received the same, such employee will receive, along with
final paycheck, the vacation pay for which they qualified as of such anniversary date. If an
employee quits, is discharged, dies, or retires before any anniversary date upon which they would
have qualified for a vacation with pay, they will be entitled to a pro rata portion of any vacation pay
for which they would have qualified on such anniversary date.
Section 3. Vacation Usage. Vacation time off will be scheduled by each Elected
Official/Department Head. Vacation not used by the next anniversary date will be lost unless, after
ninety (90) days' written notice of request to utilize vacation leave, the Elected Official/Department
Head refuses to schedule such vacation as would otherwise be lost pursuant to this provision. In the
event such vacation is not scheduled by the Elected Official/Department Head, employees shall be
paid, on an hour-for-hour basis, the equivalent of the vacation they would have otherwise been
entitled to.
Section 4. Minimum Usage. If an employee has ETO time available, vacation time must be used
in a minimum block of two (2) hours. If no ETO is available, the employee may use vacation time
in quarter-hour blocks. ETO will be used first for smaller blocks of time under 2 hours. The ability
to use vacation time in smaller blocks does not change any requirements regarding requesting
vacation time (i.e., such as the requirement to request vacation time at least two weeks in advance
as outlined in the handbook), as vacation time does not change into “ETO time.”
ARTICLE 15—INSURANCE
Section 1. Health Insurance. During the contract term, the Employer shall provide all employees
with a variety of options for health insurance coverage based upon coverage plans available to the
Employer, taking into consideration the needs of the employees, the costs involved, and compliance
with Public Act 152 of 2011. The Employer shall provide a variety of plans similar to the plans
being offered during FY 2026, with various deductible options as well as a high-deductible plan
with HSA.
The Employer has a cafeteria plan, which allows employees to opt out of the health insurance
coverage provided by the County and receive a cash payment of $225 per month in lieu of health
insurance coverage. When completing the County’s insurance enrollment process, employees who
elect to “waive” medical coverage will be considered as opting out and eligible to receive the
monthly stipend. However, employees who are covered by another family member under the
County health insurance shall not receive the cash payment of $225 per month.
Section 2. Life Insurance. The Employer shall furnish to each permanent full-time employee who
has completed ninety (90) continuous days of service a standard form of term life insurance and
accidental death benefit in the amount of seventy-five thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars (benefit
decreases at specific age intervals per policy terms). Bargaining unit members may also purchase
additional life insurance upon the bargaining unit members’ completion of the insurance carrier’s
enrollment application, subject to plan sponsor availability and approval.

becomes ill because of a work-related injury, they must report the accident or injury immediately to
the Elected Official/Department Head. All accident reports must be filled out within twenty-four
(24) hours of the time the injury (if known) or accident happens. One (1) copy shall be retained by
the Elected Official/Department Head, one copy sent to payroll, and a copy sent to the County
Administrator.
Section 4. Dental & Vision Insurance. The Employer shall provide the employees and their
dependents dental and vision insurance benefits based upon coverage plans available to the
Employer, taking into consideration the needs of the employees and the costs involved. The
Employer shall provide coverage options similar to the plans being offered during FY 2026 during
the term of this contract.

in this Agreement can be construed as a violation of this public act.
ARTICLE 16—RETIREMENT PLANS
Section 1. Michigan Municipal Employees Retirement System. The County has established, and
shall continue to fund, as set forth below, a MERS DB retirement plan for employees covered by
this agreement, said plan being identified by MERS as:
Division 12-General Unit

See Appendix C

The Employer shall continue to pay its recommended MERS contribution, and employees shall
continue to pay a 5% contribution unless or until a freeze of the MERS DB plan is triggered as set
forth below.
The MERS annual actuarial valuation report will be reviewed on an annual basis starting in the
Spring/Summer 2022 (after date of release), and if the MERS actuarial report shows that the
average percentage of the Employer’s DB contribution for all 4 CCIEA MERS divisions (Division
12- General Unit, Division 01-Circuit Court, Division 13-District Court, and Division 14Probate/Family Court) exceeds 13%, then the Employer will:
a. Notify the CCIEA of the actuarial information; then the CCIEA will have a sixty (60) day
period to determine by majority vote of the CCIEA membership, whether to assume the
increase above 13% at the employee level by increasing the employee’s percentage
contribution.
b. If the Employer does not receive notification of the CCIEA membership vote indicating that
the bargaining unit employees will assume the increase, then the bargaining unit members’
DB plan will freeze on September 30th of that same year, and all members will transition to a
DC plan on October 1st of that same year with:

22
Page 73 of 120

Page 74 of 120

10% Employer contribution into a DC plan with 5% employee contribution. Vesting
in the DC plan will be immediate for all employees and new hires. If not fully
vested in the DB plan at the time of a freeze, time in the DC plan will be credited
toward any remaining time needed to vest in the DB plan. The employee shall be
allowed to have additional post-tax contributions withheld from their payroll to be
credited to their individual DC account up to the current IRS limits.

ii.

4% Employer contribution into a Health Care Savings Program (HCSP) commences
at the time of the freeze. All current employees will vest upon entry into the HCSP
plan. All eligible new hires after inception will vest after 10 years’ service.

iii.

At a minimum, Cass County will also offer at least one (1) 457 Plan choice for
employee participation with no Employer contribution.
ARTICLE 17—GENERAL

undermining the Association.
Section 3. Non-discrimination. The Employer and the Association agree that for the duration of
the Agreement, neither shall engage in unlawful discrimination of any kind, nor shall the Employer

ARTICLE 4—GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Grievance Defined. A grievance shall be defined as any dispute regarding the meaning,
interpretation, application, or alleged violation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2. Probationary Employees. New employees who are serving their probationary period
may be discharged or placed on layoff without recourse to the Grievance Procedure.
Section 3. Grievance Procedure. An employee who believes they have a grievance must submit
their grievance in accordance with the following procedure:
STEP ONE (1): In order to use this grievance procedure, an employee must prepare a written
“grievance” document signed by the employee and a Steward stating:
a) Specific facts upon which the grievance is based (what occurred);
b) The specific date(s) and time(s) the activity complained of occurred (when it occurred);
c) The names of the persons involved and/or witnesses to the activity complained of (who was
involved);
d) The specific Articles and Sections of this agreement which allegedly have been violated; and
e) The remedy requested.
The grievance must be filed with the aggrieved employee's immediate supervisor within seven (7)
working days of the occurrence or within seven (7) working days of the time that the employee
should have reasonably had knowledge of the occurrence. The immediate supervisor shall submit a
written answer to the grievance to the Steward within seven (7) working days of receipt of the
grievance.
For purposes of clarification, the immediate supervisor positions in each area of the Courts are:
District Court: Court Administrator/Magistrate position
Friend of the Court: Deputy Friend of the Court
Family/Juvenile Court: Juvenile Register/Grant Specialist
Probate Court File Room: Probate Register/Adoption Specialist position
If the answer is acceptable and resolves the pending grievance, it shall be signed by the immediate
supervisor, Steward, and the grievant, with each retaining a copy of the settlement.
Grievance settlements by immediate supervisors shall be non-precedent-setting and may not be used
in the settlement of other grievances.
STEP TWO (2): If the grievance has not been settled in Step One (1), the grievant and/or Steward
shall submit the written grievance along with any answer received to the Chief Judge within seven
(7) working days of the Step One (1) answer or within seven (7) working days of when the Step
One (1) answer should have been received.

6
Page 87 of 120

Page 88 of 120

The Chief Judge shall meet with the grievant, the Steward, and the employee’s immediate
supervisor, along with the applicable Department Head/Elected Official, at the Chief Judge’s
option, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the appeal. The Employer’s Labor Counsel
and the Association Labor Counsel may participate.
A written answer to the grievance shall be submitted to the Association within ten (10) working
days after the next scheduled meeting of the Board of Commissioners. This answer is non-binding.
If the answer is acceptable and resolves the pending grievance, it shall be signed by the grievant, the
Steward, the Association President, and the Chief Judge, with each retaining a copy of the grievance
settlement agreement.
STEP THREE (3): If the grievance is not resolved in the foregoing steps, the Association may
submit a request to the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) for grievance
arbitration in accordance with procedures set forth by MERC, provided, however, that the
submission of the grievance to arbitration is made within thirty (30) working days of the Step Three
(3) answer. The Arbitrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from, change, or modify any
provision of this Agreement.
Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of the Arbitrator, in his own judgment, to
sustain, reverse, or modify any alleged unjust discipline. No back pay shall be awarded for more
than thirty (30) days prior to the grievance being filed in writing.
The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties hereto. While there is no
charge to the parties for MERC’s role in the grievance arbitration process, the daily rate set by the
Arbitrator, along with any other costs associated with the MERC grievance arbitration process, shall
be borne equally by the Employer and the Association, except that both the Employer and the
Association shall each pay their own attorney fees, if any.
Section 4. Time Limits. Time limits at any Step of the grievance procedure may be extended only
by written agreement between the Employer and the Association. In the event the Association does
not appeal a grievance from one Step to the next within the time limits specified, the grievance shall
be considered as being withdrawn by the Association. In the event the Employer fails to reply to a
grievance at any Step of the grievance procedure within the specified time limits, the grievance
shall automatically be referred to the next Step in the grievance procedure; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to automatically refer a grievance to arbitration.
Section 5. Discharge and Discipline Grievances. Grievances challenging Suspension or
Discharge by the Chief Judge shall begin at Step Two (2) of the Grievance Procedure.
ARTICLE 5—DISCHARGE AND SUSPENSION CASES
Section 1. Grievance Filing. In the event an employee who has completed their probationary
period shall be suspended from work for disciplinary reasons or is discharged from their
employment after the date hereof, and they believe they have been unjustly suspended or
discharged, such suspension or discharge shall constitute a case arising under the grievance
procedure provided a written grievance with respect thereto is presented to the Chief Judge within
seven (7) working days after such discharge or after the start of such suspension.
7
Page 88 of 120

Page 89 of 120

a) The Employer agrees to promptly notify, in writing, the Association of any suspension or
discharge, within 1 working day.
b) Upon the Employee's request, the Employer will discuss the discharge or suspension of an
Employee in the presence of their Steward, provided the Steward is on duty and reasonably
available. A discharged or suspended employee will be allowed to discuss their discharge or
suspension with a Steward, provided they are on duty and reasonably available, and the
Employer will make available a meeting room where they may do so before they are
required to leave the property of the Employer.
c) It is understood and agreed that when an employee files a grievance with respect to their
suspension or discharge, the act of filing such grievance shall constitute their authorization
to the Employer to reveal to the decision-making participants in the grievance procedure any
and all relevant information available to the Employer concerning the alleged offenses, and
such filing shall further constitute a release of the Employer from any and all claimed
liability by reason of such disclosure. The decision-making participants in the grievance
procedure shall determine the relevancy of the employee's work record.
Section 2. Back Pay Calculation. In the event it should be decided under the grievance procedure
that the employee was unjustly suspended or discharged, the Employer shall reinstate such
employee and pay full compensation, partial, or no compensation, as may be decided under the
grievance procedure, which compensation, if any, shall be at the employee's regular rate of pay at
the time of such discharge or the start of such suspension plus any automatic pay increases, less any
additional compensation may have earned at other employment as a result of the suspension or
discharge, and less the amount of any unemployment compensation benefits.
ARTICLE 6—STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS
Section 1. Pledge. The Association agrees that during the life of this Agreement neither the
Association, its agents, nor its members will authorize, instigate, aid, condone, or engage in a work
stoppage, slowdown, strike, or any other concerted activity which interferes with the operations of
the Employer. The Employer agrees that during the same period there will be no lockouts.
Section 2. Discipline. Individual employees or groups of employees who instigate, aid, or engage
in a work stoppage, slowdown, strike, or any other concerted activity which interferes with the
operations of the Employer may be disciplined or discharged in the sole discretion of the Employer.
ARTICLE 7—SENIORITY
Section 1. Definition. Seniority shall be defined as an employee's length of continuous
employment with the Employer since their last hiring date in a position under this contract. "Last
hiring date" shall mean the date upon which an employee first reported for work at the instruction of
the Employer and since which they have not quit, retired, or been discharged. No time shall be
deducted from an employee's seniority due to absences occasioned by authorized leaves of absence,
vacations, sick or accident leaves, or for layoffs, except as hereinafter provided. For example: nonunion employment doesn’t count toward seniority in the CCIEA and employment under the Courts’
CCIEA Contract doesn’t create seniority under the General Unit’s CCIEA Contract.
8

Section 2. Temporary employees. Notwithstanding the above, the Employer reserves the
unilateral right to hire temporary employees to do bargaining unit work upon such terms and
conditions as it may stipulate for a period not to exceed Seven Hundred Twenty (720) hours of work
per department per calendar year. No credit towards seniority shall be provided to a temporary
employee for time during which they provided services as such. If a part-time employee becomes a
full-time employee after doing temporary work equivalent to ninety (90) calendar days, with no
break in service, they will immediately be afforded the benefits provided to other full-time
bargaining unit members.
County Administration must notify the Association President, in writing, within five (5) working
days of any temporary employees hired or whose work has concluded, and the number of hours
worked at the conclusion of each employment period.
Section 3. Seniority Accrual. Seniority shall continue to accrue during all periods of active
employment, during periods of paid leaves of absence, during the first thirty (30) working days of
unpaid leave of absence as provided in Article VIII, during absences covered by Worker's
Compensation or absences compensated by Employer-provided long-term disability, and for the
first ninety (90) working days of a lay-off. When seniority no longer accrues as described
hereinabove, it shall remain frozen unless the employee returns to active employment within one (1)
year. No credit towards seniority shall be provided to a temporary employee for time during which
they provided services as such.
Section 4. Probationary Period. All new employees hired shall be probationary employees for the
first ninety (90) calendar days immediately following their employment. The purpose of the
probationary period is to provide an opportunity for the Employer to determine whether the
employee has the ability and other attributes which will qualify them for regular employee status.
During this probationary period, the employee may be laid off or terminated in the sole discretion of
the Employer without regard to their relative length of service and without recourse to the grievance
procedure.
The Employer may extend the probationary period of a new employee to one hundred eighty (180)
calendar days provided:
a) The employee is notified in writing three (3) working days before the expiration of the initial
ninety (90) day probationary period; and
b) The employee receives fringe benefits afforded to non-probationary employees upon the
completion of the initial ninety (90) day probationary period.
This ninety (90) day probationary period does not apply to benefits. Benefits eligibility, including
health insurance, retirement, short-term disability, and any other like items, begin on day 91 of
employment for a new hire. MERS Retirement begins the first full pay period after a 3-month
waiting period per the MERS Adoption agreements.
Section 5. Seniority List. The Cass County Administrator’s office shall maintain an up-to-date
seniority list. A copy of the seniority list will be made available to the Association President upon
request. The Cass County Administrator’s office shall notify the Association of any new hires as
well as employees who leave the employment of the Employer within five (5) working days. The
9
Page 90 of 120

Page 91 of 120

Cass County Administrator’s office shall also notify the Association of the names and
classifications of temporary employees and their starting dates as set forth above in Section 2.
Seniority lists shall be updated when a probationary employee is added to the seniority list in order
of their last hiring date. If two or more employees are hired on the same date, their names shall
appear on the seniority list alphabetically by the first letter or letters of their last names. If two or
more such employees have the same last name, the same procedure shall be followed with respect to
their first names.
Section 6. Loss of Seniority. An employee's seniority shall terminate:
a) If they quit, retire, or are discharged.
b) If, following a layoff, they fail or refuse to notify the Employer of their intention to return to
work within seven (7) working days after a written notice by certified mail of such recall is
sent to their last known address on record with the Employer, or, having notified the
Employer of their intention to return, fails to do so within fourteen (14) working days after
the date such notice is sent.
c) If they are absent for three (3) consecutive working days without notifying the Employer
before, or during such three (3) day period, of a justifiable reason for the absence.
d) When they have been laid off for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months.
Section 7. Posting and Bidding. All vacancies and newly created positions in the bargaining unit
shall be posted for a period of five (5) working days. During such five (5) day period, employees
may bid for such job or vacancy by submitting a county application and any other required
materials as outlined in the posting instructions. The consideration for the vacancy in the
bargaining unit among applicants shall be in accordance with the following procedures:
a) The employee(s) working in the specific Court/area where the opening occurs shall be
considered first, taking into consideration the qualifications set by the Employer, giving
priority to employees with the highest seniority. In the event the employee applicant with
the highest seniority is denied the job, the general reasons for denial shall, upon request, be
given in writing to the employee.
b) If there are no bidding employees from the specific Court/area where the opening occurs
who meet the qualifications set by the Employer, the Employer shall consider other
applicants who are members of the bargaining unit who have bid on the position and meet
the qualifications for the position set by the Employer before instituting the hiring procedure
to persons outside the CCIEA bargaining unit.
c) An employee’s seniority status is only one factor considered in the hiring process. It is used
to allow the employee to be considered first before external applicants and others with lower
seniority. It does not guarantee that the employee will be promoted. If no bidding employee
is satisfactory to the Employer, at the Employer’s sole discretion, then the Employer may
assign a probationary employee who is satisfactory to the Employer or institute the hiring
procedure to persons outside the CCIEA bargaining unit.
10

Section 8. Trial Period. When a non-probationary employee is awarded a job under the provisions
set forth in Section 7 of this Article, the successful bidder shall be on trial (Job probation) for a
period of thirty days of actual work after being assigned to their new classification. During such
period, an employee may be removed from their new classification at any time they demonstrate to
the Employer’s satisfaction, at their sole discretion, that they are or will be unable to satisfactorily
perform the requirements of such job.
An employee who, during the trial period, is removed from a job classification for which they had
bid because of their inability to perform the requirements thereof, shall be returned to the last job
classification and department assignment they had occupied immediately preceding their new
assignment. Any person who had succeeded the employee in their previous job classification shall
be, in the case of an existing employee, returned to their previous position. In the case of a
probationary employee, such employee shall be subject to discharge or reassignment at the sole
discretion of the Employer. In the event of the utilization of these provisions, the job shall be reposted pursuant to procedures herein provided.
During the Trial Period as set forth above, the employee will be evaluated by the Employer or their
designee on a biweekly basis and advised in writing of their performance in the new job.
Section 9. Layoff and Recall. If it is necessary to reduce the number of employees in a job
classification in a department, probationary employees, then part-time employees in the job
classification in that department, shall be laid off first. Thereafter, if it is necessary to further
reduce the number of employees in a job classification in a department, full-time employees shall be
removed on the basis of their seniority, provided always that the remaining employees have the
then-present ability to perform the available work in such classification in the department. “Then
present ability” means the skill, ability, and qualifications to immediately perform the duties of the
position with minimal to no training needed. Employees removed from a classification in a
department may exercise their seniority in any other equal or lower rated classification in the
bargaining unit provided they have the then-present ability to perform the available work in such
classification. If no such position exists within the department, then the employee may exercise
their seniority in a classification in another department if the Department Head or Elected Official
agrees, provided that they have the then-present ability to perform the available work in such
classification. Employees shall be recalled to their former department and classification in
accordance with their seniority, provided always that they have the then-present ability to perform
the available work.
When an employee is to be recalled, the following procedure will be used:
a) When a position is reinstated, the most senior employee on lay-off, who has the skill, ability,
and qualifications to perform the duties of that position, shall be recalled first.
b) When employees on lay-off are to be recalled, the Employer will send a certified letter to the
last address of record in the Personnel Department, notifying the employee of their recall to
work and the date of their return. This will be done, even if the employee or spouse has also
been contacted by phone or otherwise.

11
Page 92 of 120

Page 93 of 120

c) An employee who fails to contact the Employer within seven (7) calendar days following
receipt of recall notice, or the date specified in the notice of recall, whichever is later, shall
be considered to have quit.
The Employer, the County of Cass, and the union agree that economic decisions regarding
employment are not subject to collective bargaining, as a matter of current law, and remain the
exclusive prerogative of the Employer and the County of Cass. In recognition of the important role
of union leadership in communicating with union members and maintaining seniority rights, the
Employer and the County of Cass agree to provide written notice to the affected employee(s) and
union president of the intent to implement economic layoffs sixty (60) or more days before any
economic layoffs occur. The Employer and the County of Cass further agree that seniority and
bumping rights set forth herein will be followed in the event that any economic layoffs occur.
Section 10. Temporary Transfers. The Employer shall have the right to temporarily transfer
employees within the bargaining unit from one job classification to another to cover for employees
who are absent from work due to illness, accident, vacations, or leaves of absence for
the period of such absences. The Employer shall also have the right to temporarily transfer an
employee from one job classification to another within the bargaining unit to fill a job or situation
which may arise for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days in any calendar year. It is
understood and agreed that any employee within the unit temporarily transferred in accordance with
the provisions of this Section shall not acquire any permanent title or right to the job to which they
are temporarily transferred.
a) The procedure outlined above shall also apply when an employee is temporarily assigned to
a different department but within the same job classification.
b) When an employee is temporarily transferred for the convenience of the Employer from one
job classification to another as provided in this Section, they shall continue to be paid the
salary to which they are entitled in their permanent job classification unless they are
transferred to a job classification for which the maximum rate range is higher than their
permanent job classification, in which event their salary shall be increased for the period of
such transfer to the level they would have received had they been awarded the job.
c) If and when a temporary transfer or temporary assignment is for a period of more than
fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days, employees in the affected department who, in the
Employer's judgment, can be spared from their work and are fully qualified for the available
work will be offered the opportunity on the basis of seniority.
Section 11. Transfers Outside the Unit. If an employee voluntarily transfers to a position with the
Employer that is outside of the bargaining unit and, thereafter, within six (6) months, transfers back
into a position within the bargaining unit, they shall have accumulated seniority while working in
the position to which they transferred. Employees transferring under the above circumstances shall
retain all rights accrued for the purpose of any benefits provided in this Agreement. After six (6)
months, the employee's seniority shall be frozen if they remain outside the bargaining unit for
purposes of returning to the unit at a later date.

The Employer shall not interfere with employees’ FMLA rights or retaliate against an
employee for using or trying to use FMLA leave, opposing any practice made unlawful by
the FMLA, or being involved in any proceeding under or related to the FMLA.
C. Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for FMLA leave, the employee must:
1. Have worked for the Employer for at least 12 months; and
2. Have at least 1,250 hours of service in the 12 months before taking leave.
D. Requesting Leave: Generally, employees must give thirty (30) calendar days’ advance
notice of the need for FMLA leave. If it is not possible to give thirty (30) calendar days’
notice, an employee must notify the Employer as soon as possible and, generally, follow the
Employer’s usual procedures for time off requests.
Employees do not have to share a medical diagnosis but must provide enough information to
the Employer so the Employer can determine if the leave qualifies for FMLA protection.
Sufficient information could include informing the Employer that the employee is or will be
unable to perform his or her job functions, that a family member cannot perform daily
activities, or that hospitalization or continuing medical treatment is necessary.
Employees must inform the Employer if the need for leave is for a reason for which FMLA
leave was previously taken or certified. Employers can require a certification or periodic
recertification supporting the need for leave. If the employer determines that the certification
is incomplete, it must provide a written notice indicating what additional information is
required.
E. Employer Responsibilities: Once an Employer becomes aware that an employee’s need
for leave is for a reason that may qualify under the FMLA, the Employer must notify the
employee if he or she is eligible for FMLA leave and, if eligible, must also provide a notice
of rights and responsibilities under the FMLA. If the employee is not eligible, the Employer
must provide a reason for ineligibility. Employers must notify employees if leave will be
designated as FMLA leave, and if so, how much leave will be designated as FMLA leave.
Note: All requests for family and medical leave must be in writing and be forwarded to the
employee’s immediate supervisor, the Department Head, the Chief Judge, and the County
Administration/HR office.
Section 3. Field Training Leave. Leaves of absence without pay and without loss of seniority
shall be granted to employees who are active in the National Guard or a branch of the Armed Forces
Reserves for the purpose of fulfilling their annual field training obligations or required tours of
active duty. Applications for leaves of absence for such purposes must be made as soon as possible
after the employee's receipt of their orders.
Section 4. Military Leave. An employee who enters the military service by draft or enlistment
shall be granted a leave of absence for that purpose and at the conclusion of such leave of absence
shall be reinstated in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Selective Service Training Act
and any other applicable laws then effective.

Note: Court hours shall conform with the requirements of the Chief Judge Rule in MCR 8.110.

Section 1. Hours Worked. The normal workday shall consist of eight (8) hours per day. The
normal work week shall consist of forty (40) hours per week. For all classifications, the days
worked shall be Monday through Friday and the work weeks shall be defined by the applicable
payroll periods. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as a guarantee of 40 hours of
work per week or 8 hours of work or pay per day. The regular hours of work shall be 8:00 a. m. to
5:00 p.m.
Section 2. Break Periods. Employees shall be entitled to breaks as follows:
A. Mid-Shift Breaks: A fifteen (15) minute paid break period at or near the midpoint of the
first half of their shift and a fifteen (15) minute paid break period at or near the midpoint of
the second half of their shift.
B. Lunch Break: All employees shall have a one (1) hour unpaid lunch period. It is
understood and agreed that the timing of the break and lunch periods will be scheduled by
the immediate supervisor and may be staggered to keep each department open throughout
the day and may vary depending upon the nature of the work being performed by the
employee at the time.
C. Adjusted Lunch Hour: If an employee requests and is granted an adjusted start/end time as
allowed under the terms of this contract, the employee may, upon approval of the employer,
take a half-hour lunch to offset the adjusted start/end time.
D. Punctuality & Readiness to Work: Employees shall be required to be ready to start to
work at the beginning of their shift and shall be required to remain at work until the end of
their shift except for lunch periods and breaks provided above. Ready to start work at the

Page 96 of 120

Page 97 of 120

beginning of the shift means that employees must be at their assigned work location, ready,
and prepared to start performing their job duties.
Section 3. Overtime. Overtime work may be required when, in the judgment of the Employer, it is
necessary. Every effort will be made, when possible, to notify employees in advance of overtime
needs.
Section 4. Adjusted Start/End Time. By mutual agreement of the employer and the union
employee, taking into consideration business needs and staffing, the start and/or end time for the
employee’s regularly scheduled workday could be adjusted up to 30 minutes. The use of an adjusted
start/end time is to be used on a situational basis, when it can be accommodated and is not to be
used to approve permanent schedule changes.
Section 5. Work Location. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that the main place of
business for the Employer is the Cass County Law and Courts Building located at 60296 M-62,
Cassopolis, Michigan 49031, and that this location is the expected location for employees to report
to for their scheduled work hours.
Section 6. Remote Work. The ability of an employee to work remotely is not guaranteed, nor is
any past provision of remote work that was required during the COVID-19 pandemic considered
standard practice of the Employer. Remote work decisions are left in the sole discretion of the
Employer based on the needs of the Courts. Any remote work will be subject to a remote work
policy as determined appropriate by the employee’s elected official and/or department head.
ARTICLE 10—WAGES
Section 1. Wage Rates. The current wage rates are set forth in Appendix B attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof. The Classification and Compensation Study adopted in 2025 will
continue to be effective with the signing of this contract, and will be implemented with the
following processes:
A. This will be an annual nine (9) step scale.
B. Those active employees who are off the step pay scale and are no longer receiving step
increases, determined as of January 1st, would be entitled to an annual lump sum payment in
the amount of $375 (if working 30 hours or more) or $150 (if working 29 hours or less),
payable during the first pay period in January.
C. Step increases, if approved, will occur on January 1 of each year of this contract.
D. An employee’s step increase is not automatic and is at the sole discretion of an employee’s
supervisor with concurrence of their Judge/manager and the Chief Judge pursuant to the
Chief Judge Rule, MCR 8.110. Step increases can be denied for failure to meet minimum
employment standards; however, step increases may not be denied unless written
notification is given to the affected employee of the deficiency and the intent to deny step
increase before September 1 of the applicable year. Standard grievance procedures will
apply in the event a step increase is denied.
E. If a step increase is denied, the Judge/manager will give the time period for the employee to
improve their work performance and be re-evaluated.

16
Page 97 of 120

Page 98 of 120

Section 2. Overtime. Overtime will be at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) of the regular hourly
rate of pay for all assigned work in excess of forty (40) hours per week and at the rate of two (2)
times the regular hourly rate of pay for all assigned work performed on holidays celebrated under
this Agreement. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime hours. In lieu of overtime payments,
compensatory time off on a basis permitted by Federal and State law may be granted with the
mutual consent of the Chief Judge/Elected Official/Department Head and the employee.
Section 3. Call In. When an employee is called in to work at a time other than their regularly
scheduled shift, such employee shall be paid at a minimum of two (2) hours at a time and one-half
(1/2) the hourly rate of pay or at time and one-half (1 1/2) for the actual time worked, whichever is
greater. The minimum pay provision does not apply to employees who were previously scheduled
to start work before their regular starting time, provided said change in the schedule was made at
least five (5) working days in advance of the new starting time. The Call In provision shall not
apply to those employees who may be retained after their regular quitting time, nor shall it apply to
employees who are called for periods of less than one hour before their shift, but who continue to
work their regular shift thereafter.
Section 4. Hours Lost from Scheduled Work. In the event the Employer directs certain
employees not to report to work, or to leave work due to weather conditions, power shortages, or
other operational conditions beyond the control of the Employer, such employees shall be paid their
applicable rate for all such hours lost from regularly scheduled hours, subject to the following
terms:
A. Previous Vacation/ETO: Employees who were previously scheduled to be out at the time
the Employer directs employees in their specific department to not report to work, or to
leave work due to weather conditions, power shortages, or other operational conditions
beyond the control of the Employer, shall not be required to use their previously approved
vacation or ETO time for the time that the Employer directed employees to not report to or
to leave work.
B. Illness, Injury, or Other Personal Circumstances: This provision does not include
sending a sick employee home or directing an employee to leave or not report to work for
circumstances specific to that individual employee, including illness, injury, or other
personal circumstances as allowed under this contract, county policies, and/or applicable
law. If an employee is visibly ill or exhibiting symptoms that the employer reasonably
believes may pose a workplace health risk to coworkers, the employer may direct the
employee to leave the workplace to ensure the safety of all employees. An employee who is
asked to leave for these reasons will be required to use paid time off such as
ETSA/ETO/VAC/COMP to cover their time off. If an employee has no hours in their leave
bank(s), then the time off will be unpaid.
Section 5. New Permanent Job Classifications. When and if the Employer decides that it is
necessary to create a permanent new job classification, or to effect a substantial change in an
existing job classification, it shall set the rate of pay therefore and advise the Association. If the
Association disagrees with the rate of pay, it may file a grievance with respect thereto, provided that
the grievance is filed within ten (10) regularly scheduled working days after notice to the
Association of the proposed rate of pay. If, as a result of grievance settlement or resolution, a
different rate of pay is established, the new rate shall become effective as of the date the job
classification was created.

Section 6. Signing and Retention Bonus. All non-probationary CCIEA Courts’ Unit Members
(full and part-time) shall receive a signing bonus of five hundred dollars ($500) on or about
December 1, 2026, after the contract is approved and signed by all parties. Thereafter, all nonprobationary CCIEA Courts’ Unit Members (full and part-time) shall receive a retention bonus of
five hundred dollars ($500) on or about December 1, 2027; a retention bonus of five hundred dollars
($500) on or about December 1, 2028; and a retention bonus of five hundred dollars ($500) on or
about December 1, 2029. The member must be a non-probationary member at the time the bonus is
issued each year to receive the bonus.
ARTICLE 11—EARNED TIME OFF (ETO)
Section 1. ETO Credit. Each employee of record on October 1 will be credited with 84 hours of
earned time off (ETO). Employees working less than 40 hours a week will be credited with ETO on
October 1 based upon their full-time equivalent status. Employees may not have more than a total
of 84 hours of ETO time at any one time in their bank. An employee hired after October 1 will
receive a prorated benefit.
Section 2. ETO Annual Payout. Based on each employee’s ETO balance on September 30 of each
year, the County of Cass will pay the employee 100% of their unused ETO balance up to a
maximum of forty (40) hours. This benefit will be payable in October at the employee’s then
current rate of pay.
Section 3. ETO Use Notice. An employee using earned time off will inform the Elected
Official/Department Head or their designee no later than one hour before the beginning of the
Employee’s workday in order to be entitled to use accrued earned time off. If an Employee does
not give such notice, the right to use accrued earned time off is at the discretion of the Elected
Official/Department Head.
Section 4. ETO Reimbursement for Short-Term Disability. If an employee uses ETO hours to
cover the short-term disability waiting period, these hours will be replenished to the employee upon
their return from disability leave. The employee may use the replenished ETO hours for ESTAapproved purposes only. Hours replenished to an employee for earned time off used to cover a shortterm disability waiting period are not eligible for year-end payout. After replenished hours have
been added to an employee’s ETO bank, ETO time used after replenishment will first be charged
against non-replenished time remaining in the employee’s bank.
Section 5. ETO Separation Payment. If a newly hired Employee does not successfully complete
their probationary period and separates employment, there is no payout of the ETO bank to the
probationary employee at the time of separation.
Section 6. ESTA Requirements & Acknowledgement. The Earned Time Off (ETO) provided
under this Agreement satisfies and exceeds the requirements of the Michigan Earned Sick Time Act
(ESTA). Employees may use ETO for all purposes permitted under ESTA. Use of ETO for ESTAqualifying reasons shall follow the notice, documentation, increment-use, and non-retaliation
standards established in the County’s ETO/ESTA Policy, provided such procedures are not
inconsistent with applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to diminish any
rights provided under ESTA; however, ESTA shall not require the Employer to provide additional

(20) years of continuous service with the Employer, shall be entitled to one hundred eightyfour (184) hours of paid vacation.
F. Employees who actually work, or receive vacation time, compensatory time off, ETO, or
holiday time off that totals less than eighteen hundred (1800) hours during the twelve (12)
month period preceding their anniversary date shall receive a prorated vacation benefit.
G. Part-time employees (employees working an average of between twenty (20) and forty (40)
hours per week) shall receive a prorated vacation benefit, determined in accordance with
their average number of hours worked per week in the previous calendar year as a part-time
employee.

Section 2. Termination Payment. If an employee, who is otherwise eligible for a vacation with
pay, quits, is discharged, dies, or retires on or after the anniversary date upon which they qualify for
such vacation with pay without having received the same, such employee will receive, along with
final paycheck, the vacation pay for which they qualified as of such anniversary date. If an
employee quits, is discharged, dies, or retires before any anniversary date upon which they would
have qualified for a vacation with pay, they will be entitled to a pro rata portion of any vacation pay
for which they would have qualified on such anniversary date.
Section 3. Vacation Usage. Vacation time off will be scheduled by each Elected
Official/Department Head. Vacation not used by the next anniversary date will be lost unless, after
ninety (90) days' written notice of request to utilize vacation leave, the Elected Official/Department
Head refuses to schedule such vacation as would otherwise be lost pursuant to this provision. In the
event such vacation is not scheduled by the Elected Official/Department Head, employees shall be
paid, on an hour-for-hour basis, the equivalent of the vacation they would have otherwise been
entitled to.
Section 4. Minimum Usage. If an employee has ETO time available, vacation time must be used
in a minimum block of two (2) hours. If no ETO is available, the employee may use vacation time
in quarter-hour blocks. ETO will be used first for smaller blocks of time under 2 hours. The ability
to use vacation time in smaller blocks does not change any requirements regarding requesting
vacation time (i.e., such as the requirement to request vacation time at least two weeks in advance
as outlined in the handbook), as vacation time does not change into “ETO time.”
ARTICLE 15—INSURANCE
Section 1. Health Insurance. During the contract term, the Employer shall provide all employees
with a variety of options for health insurance coverage based upon coverage plans available to the
Employer, taking into consideration the needs of the employees, the costs involved, and compliance
with Public Act 152 of 2011. The Employer shall provide a variety of plans similar to the plans
being offered during FY 2026, with various deductible options as well as a high-deductible plan
with HSA
The Employer has a cafeteria plan, which allows employees to opt out of the health insurance
coverage provided by the County of Cass and receive a cash payment of $225 per month in lieu of
health insurance coverage. When completing the County of Cass’s insurance enrollment process,
employees who elect to “waive” medical coverage will be considered as opting out and eligible to
receive the monthly stipend. However, employees who are covered by another family member
under the County of Cass’s health insurance shall not receive the cash payment of $225 per month.
Section 2. Life Insurance. The Employer shall furnish to each permanent full-time employee who
has completed ninety (90) continuous days of service a standard form of term life insurance and
accidental death benefit in the amount of seventy-five thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars (benefit
decreases at specific age intervals per policy terms). Bargaining unit members may also purchase
additional life insurance upon the bargaining unit members’ completion of the insurance carrier’s
enrollment application, subject to plan sponsor availability and approval.

Co-Employers of the non-union employees

RE:

Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for non-union employees for calendar year 2027

Date:

10/16/26

This memo is being submitted by the Treasurer, Chief Judge, Clerk Register, Prosecutor, and Sheriff, co-employers
alongside the County1 of the non-union employees, a total of 55 non-union positions, 47 of which are currently
filled. Our workforce is critical to our shared missions in serving the public and we approach all employee matters
bearing in mind the crucial role of all our team members.
Recently, labor negotiations occurred with respect to our unionized workforce. A key component to those
negotiations was compensation. We are grateful that negotiations were concluded in a manner that all sides could
live with after all sides had the opportunity to be heard and understood regarding the need for us to provide
employees with compensation that addressed the current economic realities facing our workforce.
Now we want to ensure that our non-union employees’ compensation for 2027 is addressed in a manner which
leaves the non-union employees feeling that we understand the economic realities they face too. When our nonunion employees were transitioned out of the DB pension plan, they were guaranteed a minimum cost of living
increase of 3% through 12/31/27. So, the starting point in discussing COLA for non-union for 2027 is the 3% wage
increase already bargained for and approved by the Board of Commissioners at the time of the DB transition.
The Social Security Administration just announced that it is giving a 3.6% COLA increase in 2027. Because we
understand the compounding impact to the county of giving more than 3% in a wage increase, to balance fiscal
responsibility to the public with current economic realities, as well as considering lump sum payments being made
to union employees, we respectfully request that non-union employees receive a COLA for calendar year 2027 of:
•
•

3% wage increase given to all actively employed non-union employees, AND,
$100 per month for calendar year 2027, as a lump sum payment on or about 6/1/27 for ease of
administration, given to all actively employed non-union employees working at least 30 hours or more

Given the number of open positions we have in the county, in calendar year 2027 there is enough money built into
the budget to provide COLA package to our non-union employees, who step in and carry out the additional duties
that are not being carried out by the vacant positions.
We thank you for your time and consideration of this important issue.

Understanding that the Courts are part of the judicial branch of county government while the Treasurer, Clerk Register, Prosecutor, and
Sheriff are part of the executive branch of county government.

CASS COUNTY
Board of Commissioners
TO:
FROM:
OFFICE/DEPT:
RE:

Board of Commissioners
Jennifer Rentfrow, County Administrator
Administration
Motion to approve amendments to the Wage and Administration Policy.

REQUEST:
Approve the proposed amendments to the Cass County Wage and Salary Administration Policy.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed amendments are intended to provide greater flexibility and fairness in employee
compensation, particularly when employees are promoted.
Under the current policy, employees receiving promotions may see only a minimal increase in pay,
despite taking on additional responsibilities. At the same time, the policy allows greater flexibility
when determining starting wages for new hires.
These revisions will allow the County to better recognize the experience, dedication, and
contributions of existing employees while maintaining consistency with the adopted pay structure.
Additional updates clarify procedures for transfers and reclassifications.

Wage and Salary Administration Policy
SECTION 1: ADMINISTRATOR
All changes in salaries and wages must be approved by the elected official or department head and the County
Administrator in writing.
SECTION 2: ESTABLISHMENT OF PAY PLAN
The County Administrator shall review the pay scale annually and submit recommendations for changes to the
Board of Commissioners. The official pay plan for employees in classified positions shall be the salary rate
ranges as approved by the Board of Commissioners annually with the approval of the budget.
SECTION 3: HIRING RATES
The starting compensation for a newly hired employee shall be the Start Step or Step 1 of the appropriate pay
grade as indicated in the current salary table or labor contract per the most recent adopted Cass County Class
Comp Study. The Administrator may authorize the initial hiring of an employee up to the midpoint of the pay
grade if justified by pertinent documentation from the elected official or department head. The documentation
must contain specific reasons for the requested action. If, in the opinion of the Administrator, there is insufficient
justification to approve the request, he/she may request additional justification and forward the request to the
Board of Commissioners for consideration.
SECTION 4: STEP INCREASES
A) Step increases shall not be automatic but shall be based upon the department head/elected official’s
evaluation and recommendation. Within the adopted salary schedule for the County, step increases are
meant to be a recognition for satisfactory performance and continued efficient service.
B) An elected official or department head may withhold a recommendation for a step increase for an
employee on the basis of an unsatisfactory rating of the employee’s performance, work habits,
attendance, attitude, or willingness to perform duties. The elected official or department head shall advise
the employee in writing by October 1st, or CB Contract specific date, of the recommendation to withhold
a step increase and the reason(s) therefore. A copy of said communication shall be forwarded to the
County Administrator and HR/Payroll Director and a copy placed in the employee’s personnel file.
SECTION 5: WAGE RATES FOR PROMOTED EMPLOYEES PROMOTIONS
Upon promotion an employee shall be placed at the starting step of his/her new pay grade except in cases where
the starting step would not be an increase in pay. The promoted employee shall be placed at such step in the
new pay grade as may be necessary to give an increase in pay.
Upon promotion to a position in a higher pay grade, an employee shall be placed at Step 1 of the new pay grade
or at the lowest step that results in an increase in pay, whichever is greater.
The County Administrator may authorize placement at a higher step, up to and including the midpoint of the new
pay grade, upon written recommendation and justification from the elected official or department head. If the
employee's normal promotional placement is at or above the midpoint, the County Administrator may authorize
one (1) additional step above that placement, not to exceed the maximum step of the new pay grade.
Consideration may be given to the employee's qualifications, relevant experience, length of County service,
demonstrated performance, increased responsibilities, and internal pay equity. Requests for placement beyond
these limits shall require approval by the Board of Commissioners.
SECTION 6: TRANSFERS
When an employee transfers to a different position within the County at the same pay grade, the employee shall
remain at the same step with no change in pay.

Page 115 of 120

Page 116 of 120

SECTION 76: WAGE RATES FOR RECLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES RECLASSIFICATIONS
A) When an employee’s position is reclassified to a classification in a higher salary pay grade, his/her the
employee salary shall be adjusted placed to at the lowest step in the new pay grade for the new
classification which that results in an increase in pay.
B) When an employee’s position is reclassified to a classificationwithin in the same salary pay grade, his/her
salarythe employee shall remain at the same step and resultwith in no change of pay.
C) When an employee’s position is reclassified to a classification into a lower salary pay grade, his/her
salarythe employee shall be adjusted placed at to the step on in the new pay grade which that results in
the smallest decrease in pay.

SECTION 78: WAGE RATES FOR DEMOTED EMPLOYEES DEMOTIONS
A) The rate of pay of an employee who may be demoted as a result of discipline and not reclassification,
shall be placed at the step which results in the smallest decrease in pay.
B) For all non-disciplinary demotions, an employee demoted to a lower grade in the same occupational
class, i.e.: Clerk Typist II to Clerk Typist I, shall be transferred to the step on the new pay grade which
results in the smallest decrease in pay. If the demotion is to a different occupational class, the employee
shall move to the step on the new pay grade which results in the smallest decrease in pay.
