Great News from AFSCME Local 3360!

If you are an employee who was part-time on February 3rd, 2025 and your employee

number is on this list, you will be getting extra time placed into your bank on/around

November 11th, 2025. This is a settlement of a grievance related to the transition to the

new floating holiday language.

Background:

In previous contracts, floating holidays were accrued over the course of a year. This

created several issues, mainly that Dr. MLK Jr. Day was early in the year and people were

never able to accrue the full number of hours they would have been entitled to under the

contract, and Veteran’s Day always came too close to the cash-out period that people were

unable to use the time before it was automatically cashed out.

The new contract fixed these issues. Going forward, part time people will no longer

accrue their floating holiday time; it will be place into their bank in the days prior to the pay

period. Additionally, the floating holidays may be rolled over and taken as vacation time in

the following year, at the election of the employee.

An issue occurred in the rollout of this: the contract was ratified on February 13th, only

days before President’s Day, not allowing enough time for the hospital to transition to the

new system. Initially, the hospital wanted to end the accrual after that holiday. This resulted

in a loss of a few hours of time, depending on FTE status. For example, a 0.7 FTE lost 7.8

hours of floating holiday pay.

A grievance was filed for the balance of time for the 602 impacted part-time

employees. A settlement was reached; the additional time from the missed President’s

Day holiday will be deposited into the impacted employee banks on or before November

11th, 2025. This will allow the employees time to choose to either utilize the time, or take

the additional time extra earnings.

If you would like to check to see if you are one of the 602 impacted employees, please refer

to this list of employee numbers of impacted employees. If you have any questions, please

reach out to Local 3360 or the Cleveland Region of Ohio Council 8.
