<br /> <br />Section 6. Application of Pay Rates <br /> <br /> Employees shall be paid a salary or hourly rate within the range established for that <br />classification under the City pay plan. Employees reinstated or reemployed after layoff shall <br />receive a pay rate within the pay range established for the class to which they are assigned. <br /> <br /> Employees may be assigned to perform the duties of a permanent position in a higher <br />classification on a temporary basis. Such assignments shall be termed "acting <br />assignments" and shall be made subject to the following conditions: <br /> <br />A. Acting assignments shall be made by the department head only, with City Manager <br />approval, and shall be made prior to the beginning of the shift and with written <br />notification to the acting employee; <br /> <br />B. Acting assignments shall be made only in those instances where the acting employee <br />is required to perform all of the duties and responsibilities of the position for which the <br />employee is acting. Acting pay shall not be authorized for periods of less than one (1) <br />full work day. Payment for an acting assignment shall commence on the first day of <br />such assignment; <br /> <br />C. Acting pay shall be that certain step in the salary range of the higher classification <br />which generates an increase above the acting employee's current salary of not less <br />than five percent (5%). <br /> <br /> Nothing in this section shall preclude the temporary assignment of an employee to perform <br />some of the duties of a higher classification for the purpose of providing training in the work <br />of the higher classification. Such temporary training assignment shall not constitute an <br />acting assignment within the meaning of this section. <br /> <br /> It is understood that the provisions of this section shall not be interpreted as requiring the <br />City to fill each temporary vacancy by an acting assignment. <br /> <br />Except as regards to probationary unit members as set forth in the paragraph below, <br />advancement within the salary schedule specified for an employee’s classification shall be <br />on the basis of satisfactory service as evidenced by time in paid status for the requisite <br />duration and a written performance evaluation. <br /> <br />With regard to probationary unit members, advancement to the next step shall occur upon <br />completion of the requisite period of time on the job (i.e. excluding paid and unpaid leave <br />equal to or greater than four weeks) and the successful completion of probation. Paid and <br />unpaid absences of four weeks or more shall extend the probationary period by a <br />corresponding amount of time. <br /> <br />Section 7. Vacation Leave <br /> <br />7.1 The purpose of annual vacation leave is to enable each eligible employee to return to work <br />physically and mentally refreshed. In the administration of this section, administrative <br />personnel shall be guided by this stated purpose. The time at which an employee shall take <br />vacation leave during the calendar year shall be determined with due regard for wishes of <br />the employee, and particular regard for the needs of the department. In the event one (1) or <br />more municipal holidays falls within a vacation leave, such days shall not be charged as <br />5 <br />SL Confidential EE Comp Plan 15-20 final
