Section 1. Performance Levels

The Union recognizes the Employer's right under the New York City Collective Bargaining Law to establish and/or revise performance standards or norms notwithstanding the existence of prior performance levels, norms or standards. Such standards, developed by usual work measurement procedures, may be used to determine acceptable performance levels, to prepare work schedules and to measure the performance of each Employee or group of Employees. Notwithstanding the above, questions concerning the practical impact that decisions on the above matters have on Employees are within the scope of collective bargaining. The Employer will give the Union prior notice of the establishment and/or revision of performance standards or norms hereunder.
Employees who work at less than acceptable levels of performance may be subject to disciplinary measures in accordance with applicable law.
