163.20 ADDITIONAL SUPERVISORY/PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS.
   At the discretion of the appointing authority, supervisory/professional employees may be provided certain additional benefits as follows:
   (a)   Supervisory/Professional Employee Defined. For the purposes of this section, supervisory/professional employees shall be defined to include all full-time positions that are exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and are not management employees as defined in Section 163.19.
   (b)   Deferred Compensation. If a supervisory/professional employee contributes to a City-sponsored deferred compensation plan, the City will contribute to said plan an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the employee’s annual contribution, provided, however, that the maximum City contribution shall not exceed one-fifth of the regular maximum annual deferral limit for federal income tax purposes applicable to the employee in any calendar year, excluding any catch-up or additional annual deferral limit amount which may be available to the employee in excess of the regular annual deferral limit.
   (c)   Health Club Membership. The City may reimburse each supervisory/ professional employee up to fifty percent (50%) of the actual expenses incurred for the cost of a single membership in a health club.

   (e)   New Hires. During the hiring process to fill a vacancy in a supervisory/professional employee position, the appointing authority is authorized to offer additional vacation and/or sick leave benefits given the candidate’s prior experience and work record as well as the level of benefits necessary to attract highly qualified candidates. Candidates with prior public service shall be entitled to the benefits provided under Sections 163.01 and 163.02. However, both candidates with prior public service and those without prior public service may be granted additional benefits pursuant to this subsection.
