<br /> 1 <br />Section Four: Separations <br /> <br /> <br />POLICY: SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT SECTION: 4.05 <br /> <br />Separation of employment from the City can occur as a result of an employee’s <br />discharge, termination, retirement, layoff or death. The following policies identify each <br />type of separation of employment as well as the procedures and payments to be made <br />to the employee upon separation. <br /> <br />A. DISCHARGE <br /> <br />Employees who are involuntarily terminated will be paid through their termination <br />date. In addition, employees will receive the value of any accrued vacation and <br />sick leave, under the conditions of Section 4.35, Separation Procedures and <br />Policies. <br /> <br />Employees will be paid for wages earned within 24 hours of their termination if <br />requested by the employee. The basis of a discharge shall not be predicated on <br />the employee’s race, sex, creed, religion, color, age, national origin, disability, <br />marital status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or status with regard to <br />public assistance. New probationary employees may be terminated at any time <br />for any reason that does not violate local, state or federal law with or without <br />notice subject to the rights of veterans. <br /> <br />For additional information regarding just cause and termination procedures, see <br />Section 1.05 Discipline. <br /> <br />B. LAYOFF <br /> <br />The City Administrator, with approval of the City Council, may lay-off any <br />employee whenever such action is deemed necessary by reason of shortage of <br />work or funds, the elimination of a position, changes in organization, or other <br />causes. The duties performed by any employee laid off may be reassigned to <br />other employees who occupy positions in other classifications, except the duties <br />performed by veterans covered by the Veterans Preference Act shall not in bad <br />faith be transferred to non veterans. <br /> <br />No regular employee shall be laid off while another provisional appointment or an <br />appointment to temporary position exists in the same class in the same <br />department. No suspension, demotion or dismissal of an employee from the <br />armed services as disciplinary action shall be considered as a layoff, nor shall <br />separation as a result of reduction of federal or state funded programs be <br />considered a layoff. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT “A”
