§ 20472 Contract Amendment Procedures

Key Takeaways

  • •If there's a mistake in a work contract, it can be fixed by both sides agreeing to change it.
  • •If some workers were left out of the contract, they can be added later without needing a vote if there were none of them when the contract was made.
  • •Extra benefits for past work can be added to the contract if both sides agree, and workers don’t need to vote on it.

Example

A company forgets to include a group of workers in their benefits plan.

The company and the workers can fix the mistake by agreeing to add the missing group to the plan. If no one from that group worked there when the plan started, they don’t need to vote on it.

§ 20472 Contract Amendment Procedures

Errors in any contract may be corrected through amendments approved by the adoption of suitable resolutions by the contracting parties. Excluded employees may be included by groups through amendments approved in the manner prescribed for the approval of the contracts, except that if there were no members of an excluded group when the contract was entered into, an election among the employees is not required. Additional benefits for prior service provided in this part but not included in a contract, may be included through amendments so approved except that an election among employees is not required. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 379, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1996.)
