161.03 STANDARD WORK WEEK AND YEAR.

   (a)   In computing compensation and benefits hereinafter provided, the standard work week shall consist of forty hours and the standard work year shall consist of 2,080 hours unless otherwise specifically provided herein. Hourly compensation rates for all salaried personnel shall be determined by dividing their annual base compensation by their standard work year.

(Ord. 14-1977. Passed 5-12-77.)

   (b)   Part-time employees who work in excess of 1039 standard hours (no more than forty hours worked in a week) for the Municipality during a calendar year may qualify to receive a pro rata allowance of specified benefits, i.e., holiday, sick and vacation time, granted to full-time employees during the current year. The pro rata allowance shall be equivalent to the percent of the standard work year which the employee worked during the preceding year. The percentage will be determined by dividing the total number of hours worked (not to exceed forty hours in a week) by the total number of hours worked in a standard work year. Effective January 1, 2003, all part-time employees receiving single health care benefits will continue to be eligible to receive single health care benefits. Current part-time employees not receiving single health care benefits are qualified to receive single health care benefits if they have worked 1039 standard hours by December 31, 2002. In order to maintain eligibility, qualified part-time employees must work at least sixty (60 hours) in a pay period during the current calendar year. Health care benefits for part-time employees shall be administered as set forth in Section 161.20. Health care benefits shall not be provided to part-time employees who are not qualified as of December 31, 2002.
(Ord. 15-2002. Passed 12-12-02.)

   (c)   Members of the Fire Department may work, at the City's discretion, an assigned schedule based on an eight hour day (resulting in a forty hour work week), or may work a twenty-four hour shift (resulting in a forty-eight hour per week schedule).

(Ord. 124-1998. Passed 12-23-98.)

   (d)   Part-time members of the Fire Department may qualify to receive a pro rata allowance of specified benefits, i.e., holiday, sick and vacation time, granted to full-time employees during the current year. The pro rata allowance of these benefits shall be equivalent to the percent of the standard work year which the employee worked during the preceding year. The percentage will be determined by dividing the total number of hours worked (not to exceed forty hours in a week or forty-eight hours in a week if working a twenty-four hour shift) by the total number of hours worked in a standard work year. A standard work year will vary between 2080 hours ( for eight hour shifts) to 2496 hours (for twenty-four-hour shifts). These benefits will be made if the resulting percentage is 50% or greater. Effective January 1, 2003, all part-time members of the Fire Department receiving single heath care benefits will continue to be eligible to receive single health care benefits. Current part-time members of the Fire Department not receiving single health care benefits are qualified to receive single health care benefits if they have worked 1039 hours by December 31, 2002. In order to maintain eligibility, qualified part-time employees must work at least sixty (60 hours) in a pay period or at least seventy-two (72 hours) in a pay period (depending on the shift assigned to) during the current calendar year. Health care benefits for part-time employees shall be administered as set for in Section 161.20. Health care benefits shall not be provided to part-time members of the Fire Department who are not qualified as of December 31, 2002.
