SIDE LETTER A - UNIVERSITY BUDGET COMMITTEE
July 1, 2005
Ms. Kim Cook, President
SEIU Local 925
2900 Eastlake Avenue E., #230
Seattle, WA 98102-3012
Dear Ms. Cook:
It is my understanding that during contract negotiations, the Union has expressed an interest in having access to the University Budget Committee (UBC) in order to provide input on budget decisions affecting bargaining unit members.
The Executive Vice President has been requested by the University Budget Committee to provide summary information to a number of groups and organizations having an interest in budget decisions, which may affect staff employees. In this regard, the Executive Vice President has in the past met with your Union's Policy Board, and it would be my intent to do so in the future at your request.
Further, in the event the University is required by external mandate to reduce its budget during the term of a biennium, this office will provide the Union with a copy of any budget reduction plan developed by the UBC and solicit your comments regarding the plan prior to its submission to the Regents for their review and action.
Sincerely,
Weldon Ihrig
Executive Vice President
University of Washington

Dear Ms. Cook:
The University has the right to implement the Kronos timekeeping system sometime during the life of the Agreement. The University will notify the Union at least sixty (60) days in advance and agrees to consult with the Union over implementation.

SIDE LETTER C - REGULAR TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES
July 1, 2005
Ms. Kim Cook, President
SEIU Local 925
2900 Eastlake Avenue E., #230
Seattle, WA 98102-3012
Dear Ms. Cook:
In addition to the language contained in Appendix V - Regular Temporary Employees, the parties agree to the following:
After initial inclusion in a Local 925 bargaining unit, an employee will continue to be included in the bargaining unit in subsequent years if the 350 hour threshold was met in the previous year.
The University will give a Union-provided "Welcome Letter" and a Union-provided payroll deduction form to each member of the bargaining unit as they cross the 350-hour threshold.
The Union and the University agree that an employee signature on a Union Payroll Deduction form is valid from year to year as long as a regular temporary employee remains in the bargaining unit.
The University will notify the Union in writing when regular temporary employees have worked more than 525 hours and are eligible for the one-time five percent (5%) increase.
The one-time five percent (5%) increase will be effective in the first pay period following the pay period in which the 525-hour threshold is reached.

Executive Vice President
University of Washington
