The pay of City employees occupying classified positions shall be on the basis of appropriate class ranges of semi-monthly, bi-weekly and equivalent hourly rates prescribed in this chapter for the respective classes of positions. Each range shall consist of a minimum rate and a maximum rate. The schedules of semi-monthly, bi-weekly and hourly rates as shown in Exhibit A, attached to original Ordinance 27-85, passed June 10, 1985, shall comprise the compensation plan. The classification of increments of pay by steps within the ranges of the compensation plan is merely a mechanical device utilized to indicate the various possibilities of increments between the minimum rate and the maximum rate in each range. It in no way limits or controls the amount of pay, either the hourly, semi-monthly or bi-weekly salary, that can be given to an employee. Increments of hourly rates of pay actually given to an employee shall be on a penny ($.01) basis, and increments of semi-monthly and bi-weekly salary pay actually given to an employee shall be on a one dollar ($1.00) basis, irrespective of the step schedule.

Service as a provisional employee in the same or in a similar class shall be included in the probationary period. If the service of the probationary employee is unsatisfactory, he or she may be removed or reduced at any time during his or her probationary period. Unless the probationary appointee has been removed or reduced earlier, the appointing authority, at any time during the ten-day period before the end of the probationary period, shall inform the Civil Service Commission, in writing, of his or her decision either to make the appointment of the probationary appointee final or to remove such appointee. If the appointing authority's decision is to remove the appointee, his or her communication to the Commission shall state the reason for such decision.

(d) (EDITOR'S NOTE: Subsection 242.06(d) was repealed by Ordinance 123-91, passed December 23, 1991.)
(a) Definition of Part-Time Employee. Any employee, scheduled or otherwise, working less than 40 hours per week, is, for the purposes of this chapter, a part-time employee, or in the case of the Department of Fire, scheduled or otherwise working less than the accepted full-time standard for the classification/position.
(b) Permanent Part-Time Employees. Any permanent part-time employee, regularly employed on a continuing work schedule of less than full-time, shall be compensated at the appropriate rate of pay for his or her classification.
(c) Temporary or Seasonal Employees. In an emergency, an appointment may be made without regard to the civil service laws or the rules of the Civil Service Commission, but in no case shall such appointment continue longer than 6 months, nor shall successive temporary appointments be made. However, interim or temporary appointments, made necessary by reason of sickness or disability of the regular employee, shall continue only during such period of sickness or disability.
Where the services to be rendered by an appointee are for a temporary period, not to exceed 6 months, and the need of such service is important and urgent, the Mayor may select for such temporary service any person on the proper list of those eligible for permanent appointment. If an eligible list is not available, the Mayor may select a qualified applicant for such temporary service. Successive temporary appointments to the same position shall not be made under this division. The acceptance or refusal of a temporary appointment by an eligible employee shall not affect his or her standing on the register for permanent appointment, nor shall the period of temporary service be counted as part of the probationary service in case of a subsequent appointment to a permanent position.
(d) Intermittent Employee. An "intermittent employee" is an employee who works an irregular schedule which is not predictable and is determined by the fluctuating demands of the work and/or the needs of the Department. Employees who receive an intermittent appointment are in the unclassified civil service and serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority. Intermittent employees shall be compensated on an hourly basis.
(e) Benefit Exclusions. All temporary, intermittent and permanent part-time employees shall be excluded from participating in the City's group insurance plans, holiday pay, vacation pay and sick leave, except as otherwise provided in this chapter or Chapter 246.
(Ord. 27-85. Passed 6-10-85.)

(a) Work Week Scheduled Hours. For the purpose of this section, a work day for employees other than shift employees within the Department of Fire shall normally consist of 8 scheduled consecutive hours in a 24-hour period commencing with the start of a shift. A normal work week for full-time employees, excluding shift employees within the Department of Fire, shall normally consist of 40 scheduled hours within a calendar week. Schedule requirements may, on occasion, result in a shift assignment wherein a member has 8 off hours separating 2 scheduled work days. Such shift assignments shall be considered as separate work days and paid at straight time rates, where such shift assignment is part of a standard shift schedule or results from changing to a new schedule.
(b) Call-out. A non-bargaining unit employee who is called in to work at a time which does not abut his or her scheduled work hours shall receive call-out pay consistent with the provisions delineated in the collective bargaining agreement between the City and the Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Labor Council, Inc. Call-out for employees within the Department of Fire is addressed under Chapter 246 of the codified ordinances of the City.
(c) Compensation. Any duty hours in excess of 40 hours in a work week shall constitute overtime for overtime eligible employees, excluding shift employees within the Department of Fire. Compensable time (holidays, vacation days, compensatory days, sick days and actual duty hours) shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of computing overtime. Overtime shall be compensated at the following rates as applicable:
(1) Time and one-half for all hours of duty in excess of 8 in one work day, or in excess of 40 in a work week.
(2) Double time for all hours on-duty in excess of 12 consecutive hours in a work day.
(3) Double time for hours worked during scheduled vacation when an employee is called out and required to report to work by the employer. In such case, the employee shall receive the double time for a minimum of 4 hours or actual hours worked, whichever is greater.
(d) Compensatory Time. At their option, full-time employees may elect to take overtime in the form of pay or compensatory time off. Employees may not accrue nor use more than 90 hours of compensatory time off at any one time or in any one calendar year. Compensatory time off shall be scheduled in advance at the request of the employee, subject to the approval of the department head, and in consideration of operational and staffing needs.
(e) Double Pay. Premium or overtime compensation shall not be paid more than once for the same hours worked.
(f) "Shift employee," within the Department of Fire, means an employee who is regularly scheduled to work a 24-hour work day or shift.
