30.6 Total Compensation Survey <br /> Total compensation includes salary, and a variety of other benefits. Among such benefits, but not <br /> exclusively, are contributions or payments made by the Employer toward retirement (Ca1PERS), medical <br /> insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, vision insurance, disability insurance, uniform allowance, and <br /> holiday pay. In addition, there can also be add-on costs for different tasks or services performed (e.g. <br /> paramedics, hazardous materials). <br /> Total compensation information will be gathered from similar agencies to determine how the Employer's <br /> benchmark classifications compare with comparable positions in other agencies. The agencies used for <br /> comparison are listed below. <br /> Berkeley <br /> Fairfield <br /> Fremont <br /> Hayward <br /> Palo Alto <br /> Richmond <br /> San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District <br /> Santa Clara(City) <br /> Santa Rosa <br /> Vallejo <br /> The specific classifications selected as the benchmark classes (classifications used for total compensation <br /> comparisons) will be determined through classification analyses based on the duties, responsibilities and <br /> minimum requirements for the benchmark classes and not merely classification titles. <br /> Total compensation arrays will be provided to the Union three (3) months prior to the expiration of the <br /> MOU. <br /> 30.7 Continuity of Operations <br /> The Union, its members and representatives, agree that they will not engage in, authorize, sanction, or <br /> support any strike, slowdown, stoppage of work, curtailment of production, concerted refusal to work <br /> overtime, refusal to operate designated equipment (provided such equipment is safe and sound), or <br /> concerted refusal to perform customary duties during the term of this MOU.
