(40% higher classification duties) The City does have a policy for compensating employees who are working out of classification. The policy states that department directors must receive approval from the Council before reorganizing departments with the intent to compensate employees under this policy. Out of necessity, the reorganization has already been implemented in the police department, however no guarantees of compensation under the policy have been made by the Acting Police Chief or Administration. The “Working Out of Classification Policy” (attached for your convenience) states that an employee must take on 75% of higher classification duties for two consecutive months in order to qualify for a 5% to 10% increase over their regular wage. Under the interim reorganization plan, the Senior Clerk Typist does qualify for compensation under this policy. Although the Community Service Officer does not qualify for compensation under this policy, the Acting Police Chief is requesting that her vacation and sick leave accruals be adjusted to that of a full-time employee during the interim arrangement. Recommendation Authorize the interim reorganization for a period not to exceed two months without Council approval and authorize the Senior Clerk Typist to receive compensation for working in a higher classification position. Compensation would be paid at the end of the two month period and would be based on performance. Authorize an adjustment of vacation and sick leave accruals for the Community Service Officer during the interim arrangement. Respectfully Submitted, Givonna Reed
