The City shall have four classes of employees:
(a) Civil service employees defined as those who are covered by police or fire civil service.
(b) Part-time employees defined as those who work less than forty hours per week and do not receive any benefits.
(c) Full-time employees without benefits defined as those who work forty hours per week, but do not receive any benefits, but who may contribute to the City’s Retirement Plan after working 1039 hours and
(d) Full-time employees with benefits defined as those who work forty hours per week and receive benefits.
Any reference to a full-time employee anywhere in this Code shall be understood to be a full-time employee with benefits. Those employees who are not covered by police or fire civil service shall at all times be employees at will, and as such, shall not be afforded the same benefits and rights as City employees covered by police or fire civil service.
The first twelve months of those employees covered by the fire civil service or police civil service system shall be a probationary period during which there shall be no responsibility on the part of the City for continued employment. When the probation period is completed, employment shall date back six months or twelve months, respectively, to the first day of employment. Those employees who are not covered by police or fire civil service shall be regarded as if on permanent probation. It lies within the sole discretion of the City as to whether an employee is classed as full-time with benefits, full-time without benefits, or part-time.
