Council approves memorandum of understanding with police union on swing‑shift pay and sick‑leave wording
Summary
The council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Waupaca Professional Police Association clarifying swing‑shift pay consistency and defining a working day for sick‑leave accrual.
The Waupaca Common Council on May 6 approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City and the Waupaca Professional Police Association addressing two contract items: pay consistency for a swing‑shift officer and a clarification of the definition of a working day for sick‑leave accrual.
City Administrator Aaron Johnson said the MOU evens out pay for the swing shift officer so that, over the course of a year, the position equates to 76.15 hours per pay period and will be paid consistently rather than varying by pay period. He said actual hours worked will be tracked by the police captain and the HR coordinator.
Johnson also said the MOU clarifies that, for officers working 11‑hour shifts, a working day for sick‑leave calculation is defined as an 11‑hour shift; the cap on accumulation is unchanged and remains in the contract. Johnson told the council there are no anticipated fiscal impacts from the MOU and that the city's labor attorney reviewed the language. The MOU passed on a 10-0 vote.
