SIDE LETTER NO. 6
(ZONE 100)
380.10-7
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
March 9, 1992
Mr G A Eickmann
General Chairman UTU(C&T)
Dear Sir:
This refers to the provisions of Article III Reserve Boards that provide for the use of an employee's W-2 earnings for the year 1990 or 1991 in establishing the 70% or 85% rate to be used while on the applicable reserve boards.
A question has been raised as to whether the use of W-2 earnings properly reflects the proper rate for employee who suffered on-duty injuries and lost time during 1990 or 1991 as a result of the on-duty injury. In reviewing this matter it was agreed:
(1) Employees who have lost time in 1990 or 1991 due to an on-duty injury will have their rate adjusted as follows:
(a) If the employee had three or more months or non-lost time service in either year, then those months will be used to develop an average monthly rate that will be used to determine the proper rate to be used for reserve board purposes.
(b) If the employee did not have three months of non-lost time service in either year, then the proper rate shall be determined by averaging the rates of the two working employee immediately above and the two working employee immediately below the employee injured on duty.
(2) It will be the responsibility of the employee injured on duty to provide necessary information concerning lost time and non-lost time months.
Yours truly,
/s/ W. S. Hinckley
Director - Labor Relations
