election to convert Sick Leave to cash must be made prior to separation of

Re: Ordinance 65-19 — Amending Various Sections of Ordinance 15-17
(Compensation Plan for Non -Union Personnel)
Background
Memo
As part of the preparation and review of the 2020 Operating Budget submission, the City Manager
has identified positions that are key to a reorganization designed to promote succession planning
at the highest levels of the organization and to improve alignment and prioritization. In addition,
the various Directors identified positions to propose for addition to the City's organizational
structure in their respective areas. These new positions were advanced to Council for consideration
for funding as part of the 2020 Operating Budget during the various committee meetings. The
proposed amendment is needed to authorize the addition of these positions into the Non -Union
Compensation Plan (Ordinance 15-17) so that they may be incorporated into the City's
administrative and payroll systems. In addition, the Director of Human Resources reviews the
provisions of the various sections of the Non -Union Compensation Plan Ordinance for
recommended revisions and updating. Because of this review, there is one recommended revision
pertaining to Sick Leave conversions.
Summary
Attached for your consideration is Ordinance No. 65-19, amending Ordinance No. 15-17 (Non -
Union Compensation Plan). Adoption of this ordinance will accomplish the following objectives:
• Facilitate succession planning for the City by executing a high level reorganization of key
leadership positions within the City structure
• Update the list of authorized job descriptions to reflect proposed position and
organizational changes reflected in the 2020 Operating Budget submission
• Incorporate updates to the Compensation Plan to accurately reflect and clarify City policy
related to sick leave conversions.
• Ensure the compensation plan is in compliance with current Federal and State law and
governmental policies
The following highlights specific changes made to each section of the Compensation Plan for Non -
Union Personnel (Ord. 15-17).
Section 2. Wage and Salary Structure/Administration
Memo Ordinance 65-19 Amending Various Sections or Ord 15-17 (Compensation Plan for Non -Union
Personnel)
October 28, 2019
Page 2 of 4
Paragraphs A & B — It is proposed to make changes throughout these two paragraphs of this
section, which reflect the recommendations of the City Manager and subordinate Directors for
reorganization of the Departments and/or Divisions. These proposed changes include the
following:
1) As per the City Manager's discussion with City Council regarding succession planning, the
City Manager recommends reorganization by adding two positions to the Classification and
Compensation Plan. These include:
a) Deputy City Manager/Chief Finance and Development Officer (Pay Grade 1.2) —
This position will oversee the finance and development departments and associated divisions. This
person will have general oversight of, but NOT serve as the City's Director of Finance. The Director
of Finance position will remain and be appointed and ratified by the City Manager and Council
separately as per the City Charter.
b) Deputy City Manager/Chief Operations Officer (Pay Grade 1.2)- This position will
oversee all areas of the existing Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments and have
significant responsibility regarding capital projects.
The creation of these position titles demonstrates the interaction with and focus on the
development of these individuals regarding strategic leadership and interactions with the City
Manager and Council on policy and legislative matters in addition to general administrative
responsibilities. The Deputy City Managers will act as City Manager in the absence of the City
Manager. The City of Dublin previously had a similar structure with Deputy City Manager titles so it
is not unfamiliar to the City's employees.
2) In order to accommodate the creation of the two Deputy City Manager positions
articulated above, the Pay Grade Table in paragraph B needs to be updated. Specifically, pay
grade 1 is recommended to be changed to 1.1 and a new pay range of 1.2 is proposed. The new
pay grade of 1.2 will be set at the midpoint between 1.1 and 2.1.
3) The City Manager proposes to alter the Assistant City Manager position title to:
Assistant City Manager/Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer (Pay Grade 2.1)
This position will have responsibility for overseeing IT, Human Resources, Courts, and a
new office of Performance Analytics and Innovation. This position will also continue to assist the
City Manager with special projects and support to the City Manager and Council relative to their
retreats and tracking progress on Council Goals. This position will act as City Manager in the
absence of the City Manager should neither Deputy City Managers be available.
These positions and that of the Chief of Police will serve as Department Directors in
accordance with Article VI City Departments and Personnel Systems of the Revised Charter of
Dublin, Ohio.
4) The position of Director of Strategic Initiatives/Special Projects is proposed for
elimination as deemed no longer necessary.
Memo Ordinance 65-19 Amending Various Sections or Ord 15-17 (Compensation Plan for Non -Union
Personnel)
October 28, 2019

5) In the Division of Communications and Public Information, it is proposed to reclassify
one Public Information Officer (Pay Grade 4.3) to a Multi -Media Communications Specialist (4.2).
This position more closely matches the functions currently being performed and represent a
capability that needs to be preserved in order to support the long term Communications & Public
Information Strategy for the City.
6) It is proposed to reclassify a current position (to be determined) from the Department of
Information & Technology to create a Director of Performance Analytics (Pay Grade 3.1) in order
to facilitate the City's long term success in Strategic Planning. This position will be critical to
establishing the performance metrics and tools needed to inform sound decision making while
becoming more predictive about the future success of the City.
7) In order to meet the critical need of the City to defend itself against cyber threats, an
Information Security Administrator (Pay Grade 3.3) is proposed in the Department of Information
Technology.
8) In the Division of Facilities Management, a Quality Control Manager (Pay Grade 5.1) is
proposed in order to oversee the quality of work provided by contract custodial services and to
conduct more frequent inspections of work performed by City Staff. The work of this position will
primarily focus on buildings and areas frequented by the public, but will cover all City owned
buildings.
9) In the Police Department, an Operations Manager (Pay Grade 3.3) is proposed and is a
direct result of the agreement for the City of Dublin to provide dispatch services to the City of
Worthington. This new position will be part of the 8 positions funded by the City of Worthington
for the NRECC expansion and will provide oversight to the expanded operation.
Section 7. Sick Leave
Subsection F. — It is proposed to revise the language by adding language, which clarifies that
when an employee, who separates from the City in good standing, decides to convert an amount
of sick leave to cash, then that converted sick leave will no longer be available for transfer to
another State of Ohio agency or subdivision thereof. This is consistent with State of Ohio and all
surrounding local municipality policies. Some departing employees have questioned the current
policy, as written, as this specific caveat was not articulated therein.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 65-19, Amending Ordinance 15-17, as previously
amended, at the second reading/public hearing on November 18, 2019. It is further
recommended that the competitive process be waived in order to allow for the selection,
promotion and reclassification of current employees to fill positions(s) directly related to this
specific reorganization and for effective succession and transition. This waiver request includes
the filling Director of Human Resources position, which is currently authorized and not part of
the submitted amendment to the Non -Union Compensation Plan. If the waiver is granted, the
Director of Human Resources positions will become vacant on January 1, 2020.

C. The "Market", "Target", and "Premium" range segments designated in the pay grade
& range structure shall be defined as follows:
"Market" - a range of compensation associated with the basic knowledge, skills, and
capabilities commonly found in the labor market or the performance of all job
responsibilities consistent with general market expectations.
"Target" - a range of compensation associated with extensive knowledge, expertise,
skills, or capabilities or the performance of all job responsibilities that fully and
consistently meets the high performance standards and core values of the City of
Dublin.
"Premium" - a range of compensation associated with unique, special, or exceptional
knowledge, skills, capabilities or expertise, which may be in short supply due to market
conditions, or performance that meets defined criteria of exceptional and premium
value and which is widely recognized throughout the organization because of the value-
added contribution it represents. This segment is only for a small percentage of the
City workforce and placement within this segment shall be a rare occurrence.
D. The City Manager shall have the authority to approve pay adjustments within the pay
ranges established in this ordinance. These pay adjustments shall be based on the
employee's performance, conduct, and position in his/her pay range, as described
below.
1. Employees in the "market" segment of their pay range, whose performance
meets the City's standards and who consistently demonstrate the core values
of the organization, shall be eligible for larger and, if warranted by performance,
more frequent pay adjustments to move them into the "target" segment of their
ranges within a reasonable period of time.
2. Employees in the "target" segment of their pay ranges shall be eligible for
normal adjustments to remain competitive with the local job market, provided
their performance meets the City's standards and they consistently demonstrate
the core values of the City. Once an employee reaches the maximum of his/her
"target" segment, the employee shall no longer be eligible for pay adjustments
unless he/she is approved for entrance into the "Premium" segment.
3. Employees who are approved for entrance into the "premium" segment of their
pay range will be eligible for normal pay adjustments, provided they continue

or capabilities of the successful candidate and the existing market conditions. A starting
rate of compensation within the "premium" segment in the range structure shall require
the approval of the City Manager and shall be based on unique, special, or exceptional
qualifications, expertise, knowledge, skill, or capabilities of the successful candidate

as follows when any of the above referenced holidays are observed on such an
employee's regularly scheduled work day:
1. Employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions shall be paid for a
maximum of eight (8) hours on each holiday.
2. Employees serving in Part -Time Permanent positions shall be paid prorated
number of hours based on their average daily work rate. For example, a part-

SECTION 6. PERSONAL LEAVE
A. Effective the first pay period of each payroll calendar year, all existing employees
serving in Full -Time Permanent positions, and who are in full pay status at such time
(i.e. on duty or on approved leave with pay) shall receive five (5) days (40 hours) of
Personal Leave. However, new employees appointed during the year shall receive a
pro -rated allocation of Personal Leave in accordance with the following schedule:
Timeframe Appointed
Personal Leave Allocation
January 1 through March 31
40 Hours (5 days)
April 1 through June 30
32 Hours (4 days)
July 1 through September 30
20 Hours (2.5 days)
October 1 through November 30
8 Hours (1 day)
December 1 or later
None
Personal Leave shall be used at the employee's discretion, provided that it is approved
in advance by the employee's Department/Division Head via the use of the appropriate
time keeping system. Personal Leave shall be used within the same payroll calendar
year in which it is allocated and shall not be carried over to the next payroll calendar
year.
B. In the event that an employee is not in full pay status at the time Personal Leave is
normally allocated to each employee, yet returns to full pay status at some point
thereafter, the amount of that employee's Personal Leave allocation shall be pro -rated.
(An employee on an approved disability leave receiving 70% of his/her normal
wages/salary shall be regarded as being in full -pay status and would, therefore, receive
the full Personal Leave allocation.) For every pay period the employee has been in less
than full pay status, 1.54 hours of Personal Leave shall be deducted from the normal
40 -hour annual allocation.
C. In the event that an employee is laid off from City service, said employee shall be
compensated for all unused personnel leave at the rate of pay in effect at the time of
layoff. For any other form of separation, no compensation will be provided to the
employee for unused personal leave.
D. Personal Leave shall not be used to artificially extend the separation date of an
employee who has resigned from employment with the City. The effective date of the
employee's resignation from employment shall be the same as the employee's last day
worked.
E. Effective the first pay period in each payroll calendar year, all existing employees
serving in Part -Time Permanent positions shall receive an amount of Personal Leave
equal to the average number of hours worked per week in the previous 12 months.
For example, if the employee averages 30 hours per week in the previous 12 months,
then they shall receive 30 hours of Personal Leave. Employees who do not have a full
12 months of employment with the city, shall receive 16 hours of Personal Leave.
However, new employees appointed during the year shall receive a pro -rated allocation
of Personal Leave in accordance with the following schedule on their effective date of
hire:
Timeframe Appointed
Personal Leave Allocation
January 1 through June 30
16 Hours (2 days)
June 30 through November 30
8 Hours (1 day)
December 1 or later
None
Personal Leave shall be used within the same payroll calendar year in which it is
allocated and shall not be carried over to the next payroll calendar year.
SECTION 7. SICK LEAVE
A. All employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions shall be entitled to Sick Leave
with pay for those reasons listed in Section 33.47 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances.
B. Any employee of the City, other than an elective officer, who has an accrued but
unused Sick Leave balance from the State of Ohio or any political subdivision of the
State of Ohio, and who is eligible to earn Sick Leave with the City of Dublin, shall be
entitled to have this accrued but unused Sick Leave balance from these employers
transferred for use with the City of Dublin, provided that said employee is hired by
the City of Dublin within ten (10) years after his/her date of resignation/separation
from any of these past employers with the State or any political subdivision thereof.
New employees hired on or after January 1, 2007, whose Sick Leave is transferred
from another public employer, must first use Sick Leave accrued with the City of
Dublin prior to using his/her transferred balance. In addition, after January 1, 2007,
any newly hired employee's transferred Sick Leave, to include that previously accrued
during former employment with the City of Dublin, shall not be eligible for conversion
to a cash payment either on an annual basis or upon separation.
C. For employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions, Sick leave shall accrue at
the rate of 2.77 hours per pay period (9 days/72 hours per year). An employee shall
not earn the full Sick Leave accrual in a given pay period unless he/she is in full pay
status for the entire pay period (i.e. on duty or on approved leave with pay). (An
employee on an approved disability leave receiving 70% of his/her normal
wages/salary shall be regarded as being in full -pay status and would, therefore,
receive the full Sick Leave accrual.) In the event an employee is not in full pay status
for an entire pay period, he/she shall accrue Sick Leave at the rate of .034 hours for
each one (1) hour in full pay status during the pay period.
D. For employees serving in Part -Time Permanent positions, the 9 days (72 hours) per
year Sick Leave accrual shall be pro -rated (0.034 per hour) in relation to the average
number of hours the employee works per week. Sick leave is not accrued for time
worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
E. If any employee fails to submit adequate proof of illness, injury, or death in the
immediate family when requested by the City under the provisions of Section 33.47
of the Dublin Codified Ordinances; or in the event that such proof is submitted but
does not provide satisfactory evidence, such leave shall be considered unauthorized
leave and shall be without pay.
F. An employee who separates service, in good standing (employee's separation must
not be for "just cause'), shall be entitled to convert a portion of his/her unused Sick
Leave balance to a cash payment at time of separation. The rate of pay for such
accrued unused Sick Leave shall be the employee's standard hourly rate of pay at
separation multiplied by one-third (1/3) of the total number of accrued unused Sick
Leave hours requested, which were accrued as an employee of the City of Dublin, up
to a maximum payment for 700 hours. The election to convert Sick Leave to cash
must be made prior to separation of employment and this payment shall be part of
the employee's final pay. The number of unused sick leave hours that are converted
to cash at this 1/3 rate, under this provision, are considered executed and therefore
unavailable for transfer to any other State of Ohio agency or subdivision thereof.
G. Sick leave shall accrue without limitation.
H. At the end of each payroll calendar year, an employee may choose to convert a
portion of his/her accrued but unused Sick Leave to a cash payment, subject to all of
the following conditions:
1. The employee must have 40 hours or less of Sick Leave usage for the past 12
months as of the end of the first pay period in December (FMLA protected leave
exempted);
2. The employee may convert no more than 28 hours of Sick Leave to pay;
3. Sick Leave shall be converted at the rate of one (1) hour of Sick Leave to one
(1) hour of pay at the straight time hourly rate of pay;
4. Once Sick Leave is converted to pay, it shall not be converted back to sick leave.
Should an employee exercise this conversion option, it shall be his/her responsibility to
provide notification to the Department of Finance in the prescribed manner, indicating
the number of hours he/she wishes to convert to cash, by the due date established by
the City . The cash conversion shall then be paid to the employee in the first pay period
in the new payroll calendar year. If the employee's employment is terminated for any
reason prior to the first pay period in the new calendar year, this provision shall not
apply and the employee shall be subject to the provision of Section 7. F., above.
I. If an employee is killed while performing his/her authorized, assigned job duties,
his/her surviving spouse, or secondarily, his/her estate, shall be paid for one hundred
percent (100%) of the value of the employee's accrued but unused sick leave, at the
standard hourly rate in effect at the time of death. The amount so paid shall
constitute payment in full for all accrued and unused sick leave credited to the
employee.
SECTION S. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
A. All employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions shall be entitled to three (3)
days of Bereavement Leave for each death of a family member. Family member is defined as

law, grandfather -in-law, stepmother, stepfather, stepbrother, stepsister, stepson,
stepdaughter, half-brother, half-sister, aunt, uncle, or any other relative living in the

20 Years or more
Accrued Vacation
Hours per Year
40 Hours
108 Hours
142 Hours
182 Hours
208 Hours
246 Hours
B. An employee who has prior public service with any state government or any political
subdivision thereof, may receive credit for his/her prior service with these employers
for the purpose of computing the amount of his/her vacation leave with the City of
Dublin, if the nature of said service is relevant to the nature of his/her service with the
City of Dublin. The employee must notify the City within 30 days of hire and provide
documented proof of prior public service within 90 days of hire with the City of Dublin.
C. A new employee of the City with less than one (1) year of prior public service as
identified under Section 8 B above, shall not, within the first six (6) months of his/her
employment with the City, use vacation leave and, during the remaining six (6) of
his/her first year of employment, said employee shall be entitled to use up to a
maximum of 40 hours of vacation leave.
D. A new employee of the City with more than one (1) year of prior public service as
identified under Section 8 B above, shall be entitled to use vacation leave after the
mid -point of his/her probationary period.
E. An employee shall not earn his/her full Vacation Leave accrual in a given pay period
unless he/she is in full pay status (i.e. on duty or on approved leave with pay) in the
entire pay period. In addition, an employee on approved disability leave shall not
accrue Vacation Leave for the duration of such leave. In the event an employee is not
in full pay status during the entire pay period, he/she shall accrue Vacation Leave on a
pro -rated basis taking into account the number of hours in full pay status during the
pay period and his/her rate of accrual at that given time. The formula for pro -rating
the employee's accrual under such circumstances shall be the number of hours in full
pay status multiplied by the converted hourly accrual rate.
F. Procedures governing the use and approval of vacation leave are contained within
Section 33.46 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances.
G. An employee with fewer than 11 completed years of public service may automatically
carry over, from one payroll calendar year to another, a maximum of 160 hours of
unused Vacation Leave. An employee with 11 through 19 years of completed public
service may automatically carry over 200 hours of unused Vacation Leave from one
payroll calendar year to another. An employee with 20 or more years of completed
public service may automatically carry over 240 hours of unused Vacation Leave from
one payroll calendar year to another. In the event that an employee is precluded from
using Vacation Leave because he/she was on an approved disability leave, the City
Manager may allow such employee to carry over more Vacation Leave than the
maximum normally allowable. Such authorization shall be obtained from the City
Manager in the advance of any such carry over.
H. Upon separation or termination of employment, layoff, or death of the employee,
unused Vacation Leave shall be converted to a cash payment at the rate of 100%. In
addition, the conversion of Vacation Leave is permitted on an annual basis in
accordance with the following terms and conditions:
1. Employees at the Executive level, as identified in Section 14 C of this ordinance
under the "Executive" heading, shall be permitted to convert a maximum of 160
hours of unused Vacation Leave to cash at the end of each payroll calendar
year. The calculation for the conversion of Vacation Leave under these
circumstances shall be the Director's calculated hourly rate of pay multiplied by
the number of hours to be converted.
2. Employees below the Executive level shall be permitted to convert a maximum
of 40 hours of their unused Vacation Leave at the end of the payroll calendar
year if the employee has 11 or more years of completed public service and has
a minimum Vacation Leave balance of 120 hours at the end of the payroll
calendar year. The calculation for the conversion of Vacation Leave under these
circumstances shall be the employee's normal hourly rate of pay multiplied by
the number of hours to be converted.
3. Should an employee, other than those at the Executive Level, fail to use a
minimum of 40 hours of Vacation Leave prior to the end of the payroll calendar
year, he/she shall be ineligible for the conversion of any Vacation Leave at the
end of the payroll calendar year.
In the event that an eligible employee (director or non -director) wishes to exercise the
above-mentioned conversion option at the end of a payroll calendar year, it shall be
his/her responsibility provide notification to the Department of Finance in the
prescribed manner, indicating the number of hours he/she wishes to convert to cash,
by the due date established by the City. The cash conversion shall be paid to the
employee on the scheduled pay date at the conclusion of the last pay period in the
payroll calendar year.
I. If a non-exempt employee is ordered to work while on approved vacation leave, he/she
shall be paid the rate of double-time, with a minimum guarantee of four (4) hours pay
for each such call in.
1. Vacation leave may be taken in minimum multiples of one-quarter hour.
K. The City shall determine the method of crediting vacation leave.
L. Vacation leave shall not be used to artificially extend the separation date of an
employee who has resigned from employment with the City. The effective date of the
employee's resignation shall be the same as the employee's last day worked.
SECTION 10. LONGEVITY PAY
A. All employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions shall be entitled to longevity
pay in accordance with the following schedule, provided that all complete years of

their Health Savings Accounts (HSA's).
C. Tobacco Use Premium Surcharge. A tobacco use premium surcharge of 15% of

the employee or covered spouse uses tobacco. In the event that both the employee
and the spouse use tobacco, then a premium surcharge of 15% of the premium
equivalent based the level of single coverage shall be separately applied to both the
employee and the spouse. The employee and/or spouse may make a request for an
alternative standard during open enrollment and the City will work with an employee
(and, if they wish, the employee's doctor) to earn the same reward by different means.
This tobacco use premium will be waived for the tobacco user if the tobacco user

to supplement said disability income level up to 100% of normal wages/salary through
the use of the employee's Sick Leave, Personal Leave, Vacation Leave, or
Compensatory Time banks. Employees on approved disability leave at 70% income
replacement shall be regarded as being in full pay status and, therefore, they shall not

concurrent to the provisions and entitlements provided by the Family Medical Leave
Act (FMLA), if applicable. Short Term Disability Benefits paid to an employee over a
lifetime shall not exceed one year (2,080 hours) maximum.
SECTION 12. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
A. All employees serving in Full -Time Permanent positions shall be eligible to participate
in the City' Tuition Reimbursement Program. Under this program, each employee shall
be eligible for a maximum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) in reimbursement per
calendar year for fees and required textbooks, and courses of instruction voluntarily
undertaken. Courses of instruction eligible for reimbursement under this program shall
include courses necessary for job-related degree programs or courses of study not
necessarily within a job-related degree program but which are still job related. In
addition, only course work provided by a recognized institution (e.g. college, university,
community college, post -secondary technical school, etc.) shall be eligible for
reimbursement under this program.
B. All coursework subject to potential reimbursement shall be transmitted, in advance and
through the employee's Department/Division Head, to the Director of Human Resources
for approval. The Department/Division Head shall provide a written recommendation
concerning approval/disapproval of the request at time of transmittal to the Director of
Human Resources. If practicable, an employee shall make application for approval of
the course work at least fifteen (15) days prior to commencement of the course of
study. The Director of Human Resources shall evaluate the employee's
coursework/degree program for job -relatedness and shall notify the employee, in
writing, regarding his approval/disapproval of said coursework/degree program on that
basis. An employee may receive blanket approval for an entire degree program or a
continuing course of study if all courses within the program are identified. If all or part
of the program is approved, the employee need not reapply for approval for each
course within the portion(s) approved. If the Director of Human Resources disapproves
all or part of the program/coursework, the employee may appeal, in writing, such
disapproval directly to the City Manager within 72 hours of notification from the Director
of Human Resources. The City Manager will issue a written decision on the employee's
appeal within five (5) working days of receiving the appeal.
C. Courses are to be taken on other than scheduled working hours, unless approval is
obtained from the appropriate Department/Division Head, Director of Human
Resources, and the City Manager to take such courses on work time.
D. Reimbursement shall be made upon successful completion of the course with a grade
of C (2.00) or better. The employee shall submit an official transcript or certificate
demonstrating successful completion of the course and a receipt from the institution
confirming the employee has paid for tuition, fees, and required textbooks. Any
financial assistance available to an employee shall be deducted from the amount of
tuition reimbursement that would otherwise be applied. The employee shall not be
reimbursed for incidental expenses such as paper or supplies, mileage, parking, meals,
or other expenses other than tuition, fees, and required textbooks.
E. In the event that an employee receives reimbursement under this program and
voluntarily separates service with the City within the first year following reimbursement,
he/she shall pay 100% of the reimbursement back to the City. Furthermore, in the
event an employee voluntarily separates service during the second year following
reimbursement, he/she shall pay 50% of the reimbursement back to the City. Should
an employee have a tuition reimbursement payback obligation to the City, such
obligation will be recouped by the City pursuant to the terms of a repayment agreement
entered into between the City and the employee at the time of application. Any
remaining obligations, if any, must be satisfied within one (1) year of the employee
separation date. In addition to being indebted to the City of Dublin, which may result
in collection actions, failure to fully satisfy such obligation by the former employee may
generate an adverse recommendation in response to future reference checks by
prospective employers.
SECTION 13. TEMPORARY WORK ASSIGNMENT
A. When an employee is designated by a Director or the City Manager to perform higher-
level duties outside the scope of his/her established job classification for a period of
more than ten (10) consecutive work days, the employee shall be compensated at a
higher rate of pay beginning on the eleventh (11t1) day and extending for the duration
of the assignment. However, if in the judgment of the City Manager, circumstances
warrant a temporary pay supplement retroactive to the date the employee first
assumed the higher-level duties, the City Manager shall have the discretion to award
such retroactively . Upon the determination to award a temporary pay supplement,
the Director of Human Resources, in consultation with the Department Director, shall
set an appropriate percentage increase reflective of the higher level duties to be
performed not to exceed 10% of the employee's current rate of pay. If unusual
circumstances exist to justify a higher rate of pay an exception for unusual
circumstances must be supported by substantial written justification and submitted to
the City Manager for approval. Under no circumstances shall the increased rate of pay
exceed the "target" maximum of the pay grade associated with the higher-level duties.
When an employee is designated to perform the duties of a Director position on an
interim basis, the City Manager, on a case-by-case basis, shall have the discretion to
award a temporary pay supplement in an amount greater than the normal pay
adjustment established for that particular year, yet appropriate to the individual
merits/circumstances of each situation.

D. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the City shall grant a non-exempt employee
compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay, at the rate of time -and -one-half for
each overtime hour worked, if the supervisor and employee agree prior to work
commencing that compensatory time will be earned in lieu of cash compensation.
Each non-exempt employee may accrue a maximum compensatory time bank of 160
hours and may not earn more than 160 hours of compensatory time in a calendar
year. After a non-exempt employee has accrued this maximum compensatory time
bank, and not used it as leave, all additional overtime for such employee shall be paid
at the rate of time -and -one-half. If at the end of each payroll year, a non-exempt
employee has 120 hours of compensatory time in his/her compensatory time bank,
he/she shall be permitted to convert up to 50 hours of compensatory time in said bank
to cash. The calculation for converting Compensatory Time to cash shall be the
employee's established hourly rate of pay multiplied by the number of hours the
employee desires to convert. In the event the employee wishes to exercise this option,
it shall be his/her responsibility to forward a memorandum to the Department of
Finance specifying the number of hours he/she wishes to convert to cash, prior to the
end of the year. The cash conversion shall then be paid in a lump sum in the
employee's regular payroll deposit, which shall be forwarded to the employee on the
scheduled pay date at the conclusion of the first pay period in the new payroll year.
The payroll deposit in which this conversion payment is included shall be taxed at the
employee's existing W-4 rate.
E. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, an employee with accumulated
compensatory time may request leave and shall be granted such leave so long as the
granting of said leave does not unduly disrupt City operations.
F. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, all non-exempt employees shall, upon
termination, be paid for all accumulated compensatory time at an hourly rate not less
than the average rate received by the non-exempt employee over the last three (3)
years of employment or the final regular hourly rate, whichever is greater. In the
event of an employee's death, such compensation shall be paid to the employee's
surviving spouse or, secondarily, his/her estate.
G. When a non-exempt fulltime permanent employee is required or requested by an
appropriate supervisor to work on the employee's first or second regular day off within
such employee's scheduled workweek, the employee shall be compensated as follows.
Employees shall be compensated at a rate of time -and -one-half (11/2) for all authorized
hours worked on their first regular day off. When an employee works with approval
from an appropriate supervisor their second regular day off and the employee has
actually worked or has been in paid status each of the previous six days, that employee
shall be compensated at the rate of double-time for all hours worked on the second
regular day off. The work period on the second day off must be separate and distinct
from the previous six days and recorded by clocking in on the second regular day off.
If an employee works their second regular day off and they have not met the above
criteria, their second regular day off shall be compensated at the rate of time -and -
one -half. When situations arise requiring an employee to clock in on the first regular
day off prior to midnight and work crosses over midnight into the second regular day
off, the rate of pay shall remain at time -and -one-half (11/2) for the first 8 hours of
work as this is considered one work period. Any hours worked in excess of 8 hours in
this specific situation shall be compensated at the double-time rate.
H. When a non-exempt employee is either called in or scheduled in advance for work by
an appropriate supervisor, and the employee reports for said work more than 30
minutes after the completion of the regularly scheduled work hours, the employee
shall be paid for a minimum of three (3) hours at the appropriate overtime rate or be
credited with a minimum of three (3) hours of compensatory time at the appropriate
rate.
I. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, exempt employees are not entitled to
overtime pay or formal compensatory time. However, the policy of the City shall be
to allow Exempt personnel to take a limited amount of time off from their duties during
normal business hours, if they have been required to devote considerable time in
excess of the normally required time commitment associated with the nature of their
positions, provided they comply with the administrative guidelines of the City Manager
regarding taking such time off from their duties.
SECTION 15. SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL
A. On the effective date of this ordinance, shift differential pay shall be provided to full
time nonexempt permanent employees as indicated below at a rate of $1.10 per hour
with the exception of hours in paid status while on approved leave.
B. For employees regularly assigned to first shift, shift differential shall not apply except
when assigned to snow removal operations which runs from the lit Tuesday of
November through April. Because the implementation of snow shifts causes an actual
change in work shifts, when employees regularly assigned to first shift work on snow
removal operations, shift differential shall apply to those hours worked between 5 p.m.
and 6:45 a.m.
C. For employees regularly assigned to second or third shift, shift differential shall be
applied to any hours worked.
D. Shift differential pay shall be applicable to actual hours worked. Shift differential shall
not be paid in addition to regular pay for any hours spent on approved paid leave, with
the exception of leave due to mandatory training, which shall qualify for shift differential
pay. Mandatory training is defined as classes/coursework where employee attendance
is required by the Division/Department Director. Time spent in optional training
programs shall not qualify for shift differential pay. If authorized overtime occurs in
conjunction with the regular workday, the shift differential, if applicable, shall be paid
for each hour of overtime worked as follows. If shift differential pay is applicable, and
overtime occurs, the shift differential pay shall be added to the base hourly rate prior
to computing the overtime rate. Shift differential pay will be paid on a bi-weekly basis
and will not be cumulative under any circumstance.
E. Due to requirements to meet minimum staffing levels in the 24-hour a day operations
of the Northwest Regional Emergency Command Center (NRECC), shift differential shall
apply to Communications Supervisors regularly assigned to first shift or an
administrative shift only for those hours worked between 6:45 p.m. and 6:45 a.m.
SECTION 16. ON DUTY PAY
All full time non-exempt permanent employees may receive On Duty pay when placed into this
status outside of their normal work hours pursuant to an Administrative Order issued by the
City Manager. The intent of this status/pay is to ensure responsiveness in the event of an
emergency requiring the call in of employees outside of normal work hours. This status shall
end when the employee is actually engaged in work at which time the appropriate pay status
will go into effect. The rate of pay when in an On Duty status shall be $1.05 per hour.
