PERS Contribution. The District and the Association agree to the following steps for the purpose of terminating the CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC) program. 3.5.1 The 2015-2016 “PERS MEMBERS BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2013” salary schedule shall be increased by 5.75% as soon as practicable following final ratification of the 2015-2016 negotiated agreements with all District bargaining units and no later than January 1, 2016. This increase shall be applied prospectively from its implementation date. Upon implementation, this salary schedule shall be renamed as the “Classified Salary Schedule.” 3.5.2 Effective on the implementation date described in Section 3.5.1 above, the District shall no longer pay classified bargaining unit members’ share of the monthly PERS contribution. Instead, all unit members shall, commencing with such effective date, pay their legally required member contribution to the CalPERS pension program, thereby terminating the CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC) program. 3.5.3 Effective on the implementation date described in Section 3.5.1 above, unit members on the “NON-PERS MEMBERS and PERS MEMBERS AFTER January 1, 2013” salary schedule shall be transferred to the corresponding range and step on the new “Classified Salary Schedule” established pursuant to Section 3.5.1 above. 3.5.4 Effective on the implementation date described in Section 3.5.1 above, The “NON-PERS MEMBERS and PERS MEMBERS AFTER JANUARY 1, 2013” salary schedule shall be eliminated. 3.5.5 Effective on the implementation date described in Section 3.5.1 above, all longevity increments will be based on Section 3 of the new “Classified Salary Schedule” established pursuant to Section 3.5.1 above.
