13 <br /> <br />3.4 Work Schedule <br />The regular work week normally consists of 40 hours. The regular 40-hour work week includes <br />two paid 15-minute breaks each work day. All employees will be provided with one unpaid meal <br />period of 30 minutes each work day. <br />Payment for time worked in excess of the regular work week shall be compensated at 1½ times <br />the regular rate of pay. This section does not apply to exempt employees. <br />A department director, with approval from the City Administrator, may establish a modified work <br />schedule for an employee if it benefits the City. <br /> <br />3.5 Performance Evaluations <br />Employees generally receive an annual performance appraisal. The purpose of the performance <br />review is to evaluate an employee’s performance, to communicate supervisor’s expectations, <br />and to establish future goals and objectives. <br /> <br />The supervisor will conduct an interview following the written evaluation. The written evaluation <br />shall be filed in each employee's personnel file. An overall evaluation of "satisfactory <br />performance" will be required prior to the granting of any step adjustment. <br /> <br />3.6 Promotions <br />A department director and the City Administrator shall be responsible for determining whether <br />an employee possesses the necessary qualifications for promotion to a particular position. <br />Appropriate tests may be given to aid in this determination. Length of full-time employment with <br />the City will be considered in promotions only when all other qualifications are equal. <br />It shall be the policy of the City to fill vacancies by promoting current employees from within <br />where practicable. This policy shall not be construed to preclude the City from external <br />recruitment and selection of applicants from outside the municipal service, nor as a guarantee of <br />promotion from within to any position for which job openings occur. <br />All promotions shall be subject to a six-month probationary period. If the employee who has been <br />promoted is found unsuited for the position to which promoted, such employee may be <br />reinstated to his/her former position and rate of pay, or to another position in the same class if <br />a vacancy exists. <br /> <br />3.7 Veteran’s Preference <br />The City’s veteran’s preference program shall be in accordance with state and federal law. <br /> <br />55
