Current Memoranda of Understanding/Agreement A Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement (MOU/MOA) is a written contract negotiated between the County and the applicable Union which covers the terms and conditions of employment.
Departmental agreements Departmental Agreements are agreements between a specific department and the Union covering hours, job assignments, shifts, shift assignments, overtime, seniority, and holiday and vacation scheduling. If no Departmental Agreement exists for a particular area, the primary Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) must be followed.
Side letter agreements A side letter is an agreement between the County and the Union that coincides with, but is not part of, the primary Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Side letters are often used to address issues not covered by the MOU, to provide clarification of an issue in the MOU, or to amend the primary MOU.
