APPENDIX XI

 

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PLAN

 

The following Pay for Performance Plan provides for participation by hourly employees represented by the Union.

 

II. PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY

 

The purpose of Pay for Performance Plan is to align employees in a Business Unit on Business Unit financial performance. Working together and achieving corporate Financial and Business Unit goals will result in increased profitability for the business and provide a monetary reward to employees.  The intent is that all eligible bargained employees in a Business Unit will have the same goals for variable compensation to achieve a common focus on key performance goals and congruency of employee treatment.

 

Variable compensation payouts will supplement the negotiated base level of wages. II.DESIGN

1.  General

 

The design requires that a range of performance improvement be established for financial performance defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization Dollars (EBITDA $). Threshold level of financial performance will be defined as the lower of (1) Last Year's EBITDA $Performance or (2) 10% lower than current year EBITDA $Plan. Target level of performance will be equal to the EBITDA $ Annual Plan. The financial results will fund a pool whereby the eligible participants will receive an award based upon their earnings relative to the overall eligible participant's

earnings.

 

2.  Design Rules I Payout Calculation

 

 

A. Payments will be made quarterly against the annual cumulative baseline.

 

 

 

CO. PROPOSAL-PFP

SUBMITTED ON: 2/28/17


B. Any back slide in performance against the business plan target within a calendar year must be recaptured before the plan will fund additional payouts within that year.

 

 

C. Performance attainment against the annual business plan target is reset each calendar year, meaning any deficit from the prior year will not carry forward to the following year.

 

 

D. In Quarter 1-3 50% of the award will be held back until a true up is made after the close of Quarter 4.

E.  Payouts will be paid as soon as practical after the close of the quarter. F.  Cleveland UAW represented employees may voluntarily elect to

contribute a portion of pay for performance awards on a pre-tax basis to

the Arconic Retirement Savings Plan. Employees may elect to contribute

0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% of his or her pay for performance award.   A separate election process will be made available to employees as soon as administratively possible. An election, or a change in election, for the contribution of performance pay will take

effect as of the first full pay period after the request is processed and will only be applicable to pay for performance awards paid after the election process has been made available. Pre-tax contributions on pay for performance will not be eligible for company matching contributions.

 

 

Ill. DEFINITIONS

 

For purpose of Pay for Performance, the following definitions are established:

 

1. Business Unit- an organizational unit within a location.

 

2. Eligible Earnings - sum of straight-time hourly-base wages (for straight-time hours and overtime hours); straight-time cost-of-living allowance (for straight-time hours and overtime hours); straight-time shift and schedule premiums (for straight-time hours and overtime hours); overtime hours credited at the half time rate regardless if paid at the rate of time and one half or double time, vacation pay; unworked holiday pay; jury and witness, and bereavement pay.

 

The definition of Eligible Earnings for an Eligible Employee who is on disability attributable in whole or in part to his or her employment with the Company, shall include

 

 

CO. PROPOSAL-PFP

SUBMITTED ON: 2/28/17


the time lost and the straight-time earnings associated with that time lost at a rate not to exceed 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week.

 

The period used to determine Eligible Earnings for a quarter shall encompass the same payroll weeks used for that quarter.

 

3. Eligible Employee - an hourly employee covered by this Agreement who had actual hours earned during the associated quarterly payroll weeks.  In the event an employee terminates during the quarter, no pay-out shall be paid. In the event of death, disability, retirement, or layoff an employee's award will be calculated on their quarterly eligible earnings.

 

4. Plan Pool- Each plan year the company will define the incremental EBITDA dollar above target. The company will pay X% of AFE's incremental EBITDA $ and X% of AWTP's incremental EBITDA dollars, based on Business Unit performance.

 

5.Performance Measure - the measure for the pay for Performance Plan is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization Dollars (EBITDA $).

 

6. Year - means the 12-month period beginning January 1 and ending on December 31 for the year 2017 and each additional year for the duration of the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

IV.CALCULATION OF THE PAY FOR PERFORMANCE AWARD

 

At the end of each quarter the actual results of business performance will be used to make this calculation.

The actual result for EBITDA $ will be compared to its range of performance to determine the pool contribution as follows:

 

If EBITDA $ is below threshold, it will result in no Pay for Performance;

 

The EBITDA $ for each Business Unit Performance Measure will be used to determine the Pool contribution for each Business Unit:

 

The results will fund a pool and then be allocated to individuals based upon their eligible earnings as a percentage of the eligible earnings of all eligible employees.  In Quarter 1, Quarter 2, and Quarter 3 50% of the award will be held back with an annual true up after Quarter 4 results are tabulated.

 

V. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PLAN

APPENDIX

ATTENDANCE POLICIES - CLEVELAND WORKS

Acceptable attendance performance is critical to the efficient operation of the plant, and contributes to appropriate world/life balance for all employees- Cleveland Works' attendance policies set realistic expectations for attendance performance to ensure Cleveland Works' position as a world-class manufacturer. Attendance will be managed through three separate systems, the Absence Policy, the Lateness/Leave Early Policy, and the Failure to Call Policy.

The goal of these policies is to encourage employees to come to work as expected. Therefore, corrective action is intended to highlight the impact employee absence has on the operation through discussion with supervision and union officials; there will be no time-off penalties through the first three warning steps of corrective discipline.

General Provisions

Januæy-34St7 An employee's performance within the attendance policy wili be maintained over a rolling twelve (12) month period commencing with the first attendance occurrence accrued by the employee in the given specific policy. Attendance-related corrective action Will not be used for the purposes of administering progressive corrective action in any Attendance Period other than the one in which it was earned

Absence Policy infractions will be tracked in points.

Lateness/Leave Early Policy and Failure to Call Policy infractions will be tracked in occurrences.

An employee is required to report an absence through the use ot the call-off system one hour prior to the start of their regularly scheduled shift. This notice allows supervisors and employees at work an opportunity to properly cover the resulting vacancy.

CO. PROPOSAL NO.

Company/Union business, personal/medical leave of absence, military leave, absences that qualify under the FMLA policy, work-related injuries, lack of work, paid holidays and vacations, layoff, and business closings are not considered an attendance occurrence and wilt not affect an employee's attendance record.

Employees sent home by the Alcoa Medical Clinic will be excused for the balance of the shift.

Once during an Attendance Period, an employee may provide a doctor's note to validate an absence of up to five (5) consecutive days and be charged 1 point.

Absence Policy.

An occurrence leading to the Charging of points is defined as being absent for an unexcused reason for one hour or more during a scheduled shift. Points will be assigned based upon the amount of time missed from work:

                   Points            Time Missed from Work

½           From one hour to 3 hours and 59 minutes of the scheduled shift 1   Missing four or more hours of the scheduled shift

Infractions charged in the Absence Policy will not also be charged in the Lateness/Leave Early Policy.

An occurrence is defined as being late for work or leaving work early at any time during the shift for one (1) to fifty-nine (59) minutes. An occurrence charged in this policy will not be charged in the Absence Policy.
