Section 24. Emnlovee Furlough Program All employees, except for specially designated employees as determined by the City Manager, will be furloughed from work on an unpaid basis a designated day each month from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Vacation, sick leave, floating holiday or compensatory time may not be used by the employees as part of the Program. City Hall Closure: City Hall will be closed on designated days every month from January 1 through December 31, 2010. During this period most City facilities will be closed and all but essential services will cease. Employees will not work on furlough days, except with prior written permission of the City Manager. During this furlough period, employees will receive an annual 4.6% reduction in salary (prorated during the January -December 2010 time period). This annual reduction shall be spread equally among the 24 annual pay periods. Under this program, part-time employees will have their scheduled hours reduced by 4.6% in lieu of the 4.6% salary deduction. Four (4) hours of paid time will be deducted from each full-time employee's paycheck with the payroll period beginning February 1, 2010 and ending with the payroll period which is paid February 5, 2011. Assuming an employee works 86.67 hours, they will be paid for 82.67 hours for each of the 24 payrolls. Leave Accruals: Vacation leave, sick leave, administrative leave and floating holiday shall accrue during the furlough periods as though the employee were on paid status. During the furlough period, the maximum for vacation accrual shall be increased by twelve (12) days and remain at that level for twelve months following the furlough period. Probationary Period: Furlough time shall apply towards time for completion of probation and furlough time will not affect an employee's anniversary date. Benefits: There will be no change in health, dental, vision, life, or holiday benefits because of the Employee Furlough Program. CaIPERS: PERS retirement contributions will continue to be based on compensation paid to the employee. Since PERS considers 1720 hours to be a full year for retirement service credit calculations, the furlough program will not affect an employee's retirement. Working on Furlough Day: Specially designated employees, as so designated by the City manager, may be required to work on the furlough day. Any days worked during the regularly scheduled furlough will be exchanged for another day off and will be counted as the furlough for the affected employee. If the exchanged day cannot be accommodated within 30 calendar days following the observed furlough day, the specially designated employee will be compensated for working the furlough day. Management employees requested to respond to an emergency or who are otherwise required to perform work on a day while other employees are furloughed, will not see an increase in salary but may, upon request, exchange the day worked for another day on which to be furloughed. 10 SLMO final 2010
