Contract Violations

Holding

GRANTED. The Employer, Central Ohio Psychiatric Hospital (COPH), instituted an on-duty staffing plan in 1981 to provide complete coverage of the medical needs of residents. The plan originally provided for pay at the rate of time and one-eighth (1 1/8 T). That pay was divided 75% in cash and 25% in compensatory time. In 1992, the administration of COPH unilaterally altered the method of payment for on-duty time by reducing it to straight time. A grievance was filed in protest and was processed without resolution. The arbitrator held that the contract was clear and "current rate" meant 1 1/8 time. This includes all payment received, in this case, cash and compensatory time.
