GENERAL PROVISIONS
(Cite as: 3 V.S.A. § 1014)
-
§ 1014. Management rights
(a) The employer shall be responsible for insuring consistency of the terms and conditions
in various agreements throughout the Judiciary Department and shall not agree to any
terms or conditions for which adequate funds are not available.
(b) Subject to rights guaranteed by this chapter and other applicable laws, nothing in
this chapter shall be construed to interfere with the right of the employer to:
(1) carry out its statutory mandate and goals and to utilize personnel, methods and means
in the most appropriate manner; or
(2) take necessary action to carry out its mission in an emergency situation.
(c) The employer shall take any action necessary to implement and administer the provisions
of a legally binding agreement between the employer and an employee organization.
(d) The Agency of Administration shall provide to the Supreme Court, on request, any information
that it possesses or can reasonably produce that it uses to prepare for or conduct
collective bargaining negotiations. The Agency shall also provide any services it
provides to Executive and legislative agencies or departments related to the processing
of the State’s payroll and the administration of benefits. In the event the bargaining
agreement contains provisions that require the Agency of Administration or the Judiciary
Department to expend more than what is typically budgeted for administration and maintenance
of the payroll or benefit administration system, the Court Administrator shall request
the funding at the time the agreement is submitted to the General Assembly for approval
under subsection (c) of section 1036 of this title. (Added 1997, No. 92 (Adj. Sess.), § 9.)
