Article 10

Receipt of Pay

The Department agrees to take such steps as it reasonably can be expected to

take to overcome problems created by tardy receipts or non-receipts of employee

paychecks due to electronic or delivery errors. Where an employee is absent from

work for lack of funds resulting from such errors, and demonstrates that his/her

absence was so caused, these facts may be taken into consideration in mitigating

any disciplinary action taken against the employee for the absence.
