UTICA, N.Y. — Oneida County reached a collective-bargaining agreement on Wednesday with the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office and the union that represents corrections and court employees.
The new four-year agreement covers correction officers, court security officers, court attendances, and civilian clerical support. The Oneida County Sheriff’s Department Employees Local 1249, Council 82 union approved the contract by a vote of 106-4 and the Oneida County Board of Legislators unanimously approved it.
Highlights of the new contract include a boost in starting salaries for correction officers, court security officers, and court attendants; a $1,000 increase in longevity pay after five years of service with another $200 per year after that — up to 25 years of service; a 15-cent per hour shift differential for certain positions; an additional $2 per hour for hours worked as a field-training officer; the addition of Juneteenth as a paid holiday; and the ability to apply the cash value of accrued and unused sick days in excess of 165 days to a qualifying employee’s medical-insurance premium payment upon reaching retirement age.
