NEW CLASSIFICATIONS AND WAGE RATES. When necessary, the District will write new job specifications, evaluate and set rates, and install new or modified classifications. Copies of the new job specification and rates of pay shall be furnished the Union as soon as possible. The Union shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of the new job specification and rates to indicate agreement or disagreement with the new job specification and rates of pay as installed by the District. Failure to notify the District of this agreement as set forth above shall signify acceptance of the specification and rates. In the event of timely disagreement by the Union, the parties shall meet to negotiate the specification and rates. Should the parties fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) calendar days, the matter shall be referred directly to arbitration. Unless the District’s operational needs require otherwise, the foregoing process shall be completed before any new or modified classifications are implemented.
