Any adjustment to this compensation plan shall be subject to the following:
(a) In order to bring all compensation rates in conformity with those provided in the compensation plan, the City Manager shall by executive order place all incumbent employees in the proper pay grade of pay plan, effective in the year 1969 and thereafter, as provided in Section 151.10.
(b) The Finance Director shall establish the starting and ending date of the biweekly payroll periods and may make any adjustment necessary in pay periods to effect the transition to the biweekly compensation plan.
(c) The minimum and maximum pay rates of each pay grade, as set forth in this chapter, shall be changed only by City Council by amendment to this chapter.
(d) Rates of pay shall be considered to be in conformity with the compensation plan if the biweekly pay is exceeded by $.05 or less due to rounding the fourth decimal place of the equivalent hourly rate or due to adjustment of $.05 or less resulting from mechanical hourly rate calculations.
(Ord. 07-0-33. Passed 3-20-07.)
Original appointment to any position shall be made at the minimum pay rate of the pay grade. Advancement shall be within the pay range and at the discretion of the City Manager in accordance with Section 151.30. In cases where it is difficult to secure qualified personnel and upon recommendation of the Department director or division head, the City Manager may approve initial compensation at a rate higher than the minimum pay rate of the pay grade for the position when the needs of the service make such action necessary; provided that any such exception is on the understanding and unusual character of the employee's experience and ability over and above the minimum qualifications specified for the class.
A one year probationary period shall be required of all new and promoted regular full- time and part-time employees.
(Ord. 12-O-29. Passed 3-20-12.)
When an employee returns to duty in the same position after a separation from the City service of not more than one (1) year, providing his separation was not for cause, such employee may receive the pay rate corresponding to the pay grade earned at the time of separation, subject to approval by the City Manager.
(Ord. 07-0-33. Passed 3-20-07.)
Any employee who leaves the City service to enter the active service in the armed forces of the United States, who returns directly to the City upon separation and within the time periods set forth in USERRA and who is reinstated to his previous position, shall be entitled to receive compensation at the rate of pay which he would have been entitled had his service with the City not been interrupted by service in the armed forces.
(Ord. 07-0-33. Passed 3-20-07.)
Whenever the re-allocation of a position to a higher class occurs, the rate of pay of the employee shall be the same as prescribed in "Promotion" (Section 151.28) above. Whenever a re-allocation of a new position to a position to a lower class occurs, his rate shall be the same as prescribed in "demotion" (Section 151.27) above.
