SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN.
The compensation ranges and steps contained in the attached salary schedule are monthly compensation
rates.
For all employees covered by this Resolution, the hourly rate of pay shall be the monthly rate multiplied
by 12 divided by 2080 annual hours. In determining the hourly rate, compensation shall be calculated to
the nearest one-half(V2) cent.
Part-time employees who are scheduled to work an average of at least 20 hours per week on a year-round
basis may be considered for advancement to the next higher step upon completion of 2080 hours of
employment.
SECTION 4. BEGINNING RATES.
A new employee of the City shall be paid the rate shown in Step A in the range allocated to the class of
employment for which the employee has been hired, except that on the request of the Department Head
under whom the employee will serve, and with the authorization of the Human Resources Director, such
employee may be placed in Steps B through F depending upon the employee's qualifications.
SECTION 5. SERVICE.
The word service, as used in this Resolution, shall be defined to mean continuous, full-time service in the
employee's present classification, service in a higher classification, or service in a classification allocated
to the same salary range and having generally similar duties and requirements.
A lapse of service by any employee for a period of time longer than thirty (30) days by reason of
resignation or discharge eliminates the accumulated length of service time of such employee for the
purpose of this Resolution. Employees re-entering the service of the City shall be considered as a new
employee, except that the employee may and at the discretion of the City, be re-employed within one (1)
year and placed in the same salary step in the appropriate compensation range as the employee was at the

The following regulations shall govern salary advancement:
A. Merit Advancement. An employee shall be considered for advancement through the salary
range upon completion of the minimum length of service. The effective date of such merit
increase, if granted, shall be the first day of the next pay period following the completion of
the length of service required for such advancement. Advancement through the salary ranges
Steps A through F may be granted only for continuous, meritorious, and efficient service, and
continued improvement by the employee in the effective performance of the duties of the
position. Such merit advancement shall require the following:
1) The Department Head shall file with the Human Resources Director a Personnel Action
Form and a completed Performance Evaluation form recommending the granting or
denial of the merit increase and supporting such recommendation with specific reasons
therefor. If denied by the Human Resources Director, the reason for denial will be
provided to the Department Head.
2) Advancements through the pay ranges Step A through Step F, shall occur, if granted,
in yearly increments.
2
3) A lapse of service of thirty (30) continuous calendar days or more for any reason shall
extend the due date for the merit performance evaluation by an equal number of days
absent.
B. Special Merit Advancement. When an employee demonstrates exceptional ability and
proficiency in the performance of duties,the Department Head may recommend to the Human
Resources Director that the employee be advanced to a higher pay step without regard to the
minimum length of service requirements contained in this Resolution. With concurrence of
the City Manager, the Human Resources Director may, on the basis of a Department Head's
recommendation, approve and effect such an advancement.
SECTION 7. REDUCTION IN SALARY STEPS.
Any employee who is being paid on a salary step higher than Step A may be reduced by one (1) or more
steps upon the recommendation of the Department Head with the approval of the Human Resources
Director. Such reduction shall take place only after the employee has been notified of the reasons and has
had an opportunity to respond. Procedure for such reduction shall follow the same procedure as outlined
for merit advancements in Section 6, and such employee may be considered for re-advancement under the
same provisions as contained in Subsection A of Section 6.

revoked at any time by the Human Resources Director or a duly authorized designee. This form of pay,
also referred to as "Bilingual Premium", shall be reported to CalPERS as special compensation, and is

shall retain credit for length of service in such step toward advancement to the next higher step;provided,
however:

the existing rate of pay, the employee shall be placed in that step of the lower compensation
range which is equivalent to the existing rate of pay,and shall retain credit for length of service
previously acquired in such step toward advancement to the next higher step. If there is no
equivalent step, the employee shall be placed in the step which is closest to, but not less than,
the employee's current salary step.
SECTION 15. AT-WILL STATUS.
Members of Top Management serve at the pleasure of the City Manager, with the exception of those

to vacation shall occur in the first pay period of January based upon sick leave
usage during the previous payroll calendar year.
d) Any sick leave converted to vacation shall be subject to the provisions described

G. Workers' Compensation Leave for Safety Employees. For the classifications of Fire Chief and
Police Chief, salary continuance, including Labor Code Section 4850 leave, will be provided
in accordance with current State Workers' Compensation laws and regulations.

described in Appendices A and B herein, Workers' Compensation leave shall be granted as
follows:
13
1) A regular employee shall be granted temporary disability leave in accordance with the
current State Workers' Compensation laws and regulations. When a City employee is
entitled to receive temporary disability payments, the City will contribute additional
compensation to allow the employee to receive 100% of their regular rate of pay, or
provide full salary continuance, for the first 365 days starting from the date of injury.
Temporary disability leave in excess of 365 days will be provided subject to current
State Workers' Compensation laws and regulations.
2) Should it be determined by the employee's doctor, or an agreed doctor by both parties,
or an Administrative Law Judge through the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board
that an employee's illness or injury did not arise in the course of the employee's
employment with the City and/or that the employee is not temporarily incapacitated,
then the employee's accrued, or if insufficient, future sick leave, shall be charged to
reimburse the City for any payments made to the employee pursuant to above.
3) An employee receiving benefits pursuant to Workers' Compensation Temporary
Disability will continue to receive the City's contribution to the employee's medical,
dental, vision and other applicable insurances. All authorized deductions will continue
as though the employee is on regular work status. If the employee has exhausted
Temporary Disability benefits, the employee shall be responsible for paying the full
premium for the employee's medical, dental, vision, and other applicable insurances.
4) Temporary Disability leave shall expire when the first of any of the following
conditions occur:
a) The employee is able to return to work and assume the duties of the regular
position.
b) The employee is able to return to work to another position designated by the
City.
c) The day before the employee is retired or separated for disability. The
employee's "retirement date" shall be determined by CalPERS.
5) Before a work-related injury, an employee may elect to pre-designate a qualified
medical provider if done in accordance with Workers' Compensation laws and
regulations.
I. Family Care and Medical Leave (FCML). State and Federal laws require the City to provide
family and medical care leave for eligible employees. The following provisions set forth
employees' and employer's rights and obligations with respect to such leave. Rights and
obligations which are not specifically set forth below are set forth in the Department of Labor
regulations implementing the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA)and the
regulations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing the
California Family Rights Act(CFRA)(Government Code Section 12945.2). Unless otherwise
provided, "Leave" under this article shall mean leave pursuant to the FMLA and CFRA. An
employee's request for leave is subject to review and final approval of the Human Resources
Director.
14
1) Amount of Leave. Eligible employees are entitled to a total of 12 work weeks of leave
during any 12-month period. An employee's entitlement to leave for the birth or placement
of a child for adoption or foster care expires 12 months after the birth or placement.
The 12-month period for calculating leave entitlement will be a "rolling period"
measured backward from the date leave is taken and continues with each additional
leave day taken. Thus, whenever an employee requests leave, the City will look back
over the previous 12-month period to determine how much leave has been used in
determining how much leave a member is entitled to.
2) Use of Other Accrued Leaves While on Leave. If an employee requests leave for any
reason permitted under the law, the employee must exhaust all accrued leaves (except
sick leave) in connection with the leave. This includes vacation, holiday, and other
compensatory accruals. If an employee requests leave for the employee's own serious
health condition, in addition to exhausting accrued leave, the employee must also
exhaust sick leave. The exhaustion of accrued leave will run concurrently with the
Family Care and Medical Leave.
3) Required Forms. Employees must fill out required forms, available in the Human
Resources Department, including: Request for Family or Medical Leave; Medical
Certification; Authorization for Payroll Deductions for benefit plan coverages (if
applicable); and Fitness-for-Duty to return from leave.
