S. The Association agrees to modifying the parity language in the M.O.U. as follows: "During the term of this agreement Section 10 in the consolidated MOU dealing with Internal Parity will not apply unless any other bargaining unit receives across the board cost of living adjustment (COLA) placing them above the average as detailed in the Hayhurst and Associates Compensation Study.

Work hours for employees assigned to Fridays in Financial will be from 9-2 p.m. effective September 11, 1998. The ability to "trade" Fridays worked will be available subject to the following conditions: The practice of shift trading shall be voluntary on behalf of each employee involved in the trade. An employee must have supervisory approval prior to being allowed to trade shifts. The trade must be due to the employee's desire or need to attend to a personal matter and not due to the department's operations. The employee providing the trade shall not have his/her compensable hours increased as a result of the trade; nor shall the employee receiving the trade have his/her compensable hours decreased as a result of the trade. Any hours worked beyond the normal work day will be credited to the individual actually doing the work. "Paybacks" of shift trades are the obligation of the two employees involved in the trade. Any dispute as to paybacks is to be resolved by the involved employees, and under no circumstances will the department be obligated for any further
