MEMORANDUM DATE: December 10,2002 TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Michael Mornson,City Manager SUBJECT: PERSONNEL ORDINANCE CHANGES The following changes are recommended amendments to the Personnel Ordinance on personal leave. This will impact all non-union employees and Department Heads.It would be the City's intent to incorporate changes to the unions during negotiations in 2003. Change 1. Maximum Personal Bank.The maximum personal leave bank shall be 1,200 hours. Currently there is no bank. Prior to 2000,the City converted sick leave and vacation leave to personal leave. There was a bank of 1,200 hours.The max an employee could get paid out via personnel ordinance as severance pay is 600 hours. This doesn't change and has been in place for 10 years. Change 2. Personal Leave Earnings. New 0 -5 years 120 hours Old 0-5 years 176 hours(employees hired prior to 1/1/03) New 5 - 15 years 216 hours New 15 +years 256 hours It is my opinion that 22 days off after working one years is excessive and that 0 -5 years should be reduced to 15 days. Personal/Comp-Time Usage. 1) Maximum allowable usage in a year=30 days* (240 hours) *Maximum allowable usage includes any combination or use of personal leave,comp-time hours and time off without pay. 2) No employee shall use more than 3 consecutive weeks of personal leave,comp-time or time off without pay unless special permission is granted by the City Manager. Additional Time Off. 1) In some instances,additional personal leave and comp-time off may be granted with the approval of the City Manager. 2) Additional usage is permissible for family/medical leave and extended illness. 3) Additional usage is allowed for workers compensation or work related injuries.
