The HR Committee gathered on August 4tn and <br />agreed, stating a goal of the Strategic Plan is to keep benefits competitive and create a culture where <br />employees desire to work. Approval of Resolution 9451 would allow all new hires to receive 15 days of <br />vacation upon hire. Employees currently receiving a 10 day vacation accrual (3.08 hours/pay) would <br />advance to the 15 day accrual (4.62 hours/pay) beginning with the August 21, 2021 pay cycle. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Create a culture where employees desire to work. Update personnel policies to provide flexible work <br />schedules, consider competitive benefits and other HR programs that are competitive with other cities and <br />governmental organizations. <br />Financial Impact: <br />Worst case scenario: $9,100/Patrol overtime. <br />Recommendation: <br />Resolution 9451, Authorizing Revisions to Section 2.02 (Payroll); Section 2.03 (Holidays); Section 2.04 <br />(Sick Leave); and Section 2.05 (Vacation) of the Personnel Manual. <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resources Coordinator <br />Attachment(s): <br />1) Resolution 9451, Authorizing Revisions to Section 2.02 (Payroll); Section 2.03 (Holidays); Section <br />2.04 (Sick Leave); and Section 2.05 (Vacation) of the Personnel Manual <br />2) Personnel Policy Sections: 2.02; 2.03, 2.04, and 2.05 <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
