March 31, 1976
Minutes of the special meeting to discuss the Lincolnwood library situation and to complete the Board's review of the Personnel Code as written with
suggested changes.
Members present:
Walter Flintrup, Diana Hunter, Shirley Merritt,
John Wozniak, Norma Zatz and President Karl Weiner, Miss Mary Radmacher,
Chief Librarian.
Rabbi Weiner reported Mr. Martin Berzok contacted him requesting an
opportunity to talk with Rabbi Weiner and other members of the Board.
Monday
morning, March 29, he met with Rabbi Weiner together with the President of
the Lincolnwood Friends of the Library, Mr. Heman.
Their message was they
are goh:ig to try to get a demonstration program for library service without any
expenditure of Lincolnwood funds.
On the Personnel Code, Mr. Flintrup said he concedes there are certain
benefits to the ins:titution in having part-time people, but if all benefits go with
part-time there is no incentive for the full-time people.
The recommendation of
the Sub-Committee is to eliminate the benefits even though we are locked with
the two or three existing under the grandfather clause which should be phased
out.
Rabbi Weiner urged consideration be given to whether the Library wants
to eliminate this category of part-time salaried employees.
Motion by Mr.
Flintrup, seconded by Mrs. Hunter.
Motion:
To elinimate the category of part-time salaried
employees with benefits as described in Item F-2
whereby an employee is full-time or hourly.
In discussion mention was made that ALA recommended part-time employees be
encouraged and Miss Radmacher read an excerpt from an article quoting ALA' s
viewpoint.
Miss Radmacher clarified the category of part-time salaried
employees for Board members unfamiliar with this employee arrangement stating there are three people on a salaried part-time classification getting a vacation
�- 2 -
but not holidays unless it falls on their day to work.
All other employees not
working full-time are hourly with no vacation or holiday benefits.
points were made:
The following
(1) If the trend continues with fewer jobs in the job market the
trend will be toward splitting jobs; (2) If the Board is to think exclusively in terms
of the needs of the Library and, in that case, it is considered that it would be to
the greater benefit of the Library not to have any part-time salaried people with
the benefits that are given to the salaried full-time people because that encourages
a drift to part-time employment; (3) We are facing hard economic times and accruing these benefits will he felt in the budget; and (4) In the interest of the Library
giving the full benefits pro-rated to the part-time salaried personnel is more
costly.
For this Library it .seems beyond any question eliminating the category
of part-time salaried people will .be less costly and probably more efficient.
Voting was as follows:
Mrs. Hunter, yes; Mrs. Zatz, yes; Mrs. Merritt, ab-
stained; Dr. Wozniak, yes; .and Mr. Flintrup, yes.
Motion carried.
The next question confronting the Board was shollld there be a grandfather
clause?
Question was I:aised of whether it wollld be equitable to rescind and phase
out immediately or stipulate to those employees in this category to either become
full-time or hourly under perhaps a three year period of time.
Question then
arose of whether all part-time employees should be upgraded for the next three
years to have the same conditions.
Miss Radmacher stated the Library could use
the services of these employees full-time.
Motion by Mr. Flintrup, seconded
by Dr. Wozniak which, on roll call vote, carried unanimously.
Motion:
That an addendum be adopted to the grandfather
clause stating inasmuch as the salaried part-time
employee has been eliminated, employees presently
enjoying those benefits have until January 1, 1977
to make the decision to either become full-time
employees of the institution or to stay part-time
hourly employees without benefits.
Mr. Flintrup and Dr. Wozniak retired from the meeting at 7:20 p. m.
Meeting reconvened in the Library Board Room at 7:30 p. m.
�- 3 -
The meeting continued in discussion of the Personnel Code.
Changes and
corrections which were recommended have been incorporated in the Master Copy
to be distributed to Board members for examination.
The Board inquired about adequate facilities for emergencies.
Radmacher was asked to look into First Aid Training for an employee.
Miss
Question
was also raised of whether the Para-Medical Unit in Skokie would be considered
sufficient to take care of any emergencies that might arise.
Another point of discussion was to examine the case laws concerning
pregnancy, whether there is any precedent concerning length of time an employee
may work.
The next Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 12, 1976.
Meeting adjourned at 11.:00 p. m. on motion by Mrs. Merritt.
