A threshold of 50 hours <br />is adopted as a guideline. The employee’s normal work schedule, including required meetings, <br />will be considered but will not include consideration for any paid time off, such as vacation, sick <br />leave, personal days, holidays, or the time earned under this policy. Time off will be earned at a <br />ratio of 1:1, to a maximum amount of 120 hours. The employee should actively seek to reduce <br />his/her accrual and is encouraged to take this time off prior to requesting use of Personal Leave. <br />The City Administrator may work with the employee to schedule time off if the accrued amount <br />is not reduced by at least 10 hours during any 3-month period. Time off accrued under this policy <br />does not have any cash value. This is, no cash payment will be available for accrued hours – in <br />lieu of employee actually taking the time off – either during his/her employment with the City or <br />at the time of separation. <br /> <br />Rights and Responsibilities <br />Employees are encouraged to use their compensatory time earned as soon as possible. <br />Compensatory time off will be granted within a reasonable period after the employee makes the <br />request provided such use does not unduly disrupt the operations of the employee’s department <br />and the City. The City reserves the right to unilaterally schedule time off for an employee who is <br />nearing or at the statutory cap on accrued compensatory time. <br /> <br />Department Heads are responsible for administering this policy for their own employees. <br />Department Heads or supervisors who are responsible for work scheduling should seek to limit <br />the need for compensatory time/overtime within their departments. Adjustments to an <br />employee’s normal work schedule and re-assignment of duties are alternatives that might be <br />considered to control or limit excess hours. Adjustments must be made within the given <br />workweek as opposed to pay period. Employees should also take positive control over their <br />accrued compensatory time and are encouraged to enjoy this earned time off by making timely <br />requests for its use. Records of overtime and compensatory time shall be kept by the Finance <br />Director. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 7 PERFORMANCE REVIEWS <br /> <br />Section 7.01 Full-Time, Part-Time, and On-Call Firefighter Employee Reviews <br /> <br />Performance appraisals are an opportunity for employees, Department Heads, and the City to assess <br />an individual's job performance. The performance appraisal system is designed to: <br /> <br />• ensure that quality services are provided to the public at the least possible cost.
