(A) Regular full-time executive employees shall be paid a longevity bonus of $1,000 per consecutive year of service, starting at year three, then year five, and then every five years thereafter. For example:
(1) On the executive’s three year employment anniversary: $3,000;
(2) On the executive’s five year employment anniversary: $5,000;
(3) On the executive’s ten year employment anniversary: $10,000;
(4) On the executive’s 15 year employment anniversary: $15,000;
(5) On the executive’s 20 year employment anniversary: $20,000.
(B) Regular full-time non-executive employees who are not represented by a labor union shall be paid a longevity bonus as follows:
(1) On the employee’s three year employment anniversary: $2,000;
(2) On the employee’s five year employment anniversary: $5,000;
(3) On the employee’s ten year employment anniversary: $10,000;
(4) On the employee’s 15 year employment anniversary, and each subsequent five year employment anniversary thereafter: $10,000.
(C) Part-time employees who are eligible for benefits shall be paid a partial longevity bonus calculated as a percentage of the bonus paid to an employee in the full-time equivalent of their position. For example, a part-time employee working 20 hours per week is eligible for a $1,000 longevity bonus on the employee’s three year employment anniversary. An employee working 30 hours per week would be eligible for $1,500 upon their three year employment anniversary.
(D) Current employees who are employed by the city on the effective date of this section and who are between the anniversary years set out in divisions (A) and (B) above, shall receive the longevity bonus commensurate with the anniversary which they have most recently surpassed. For example, an employee who has reached their four year anniversary will receive the three year longevity bonus, and an employee who has surpassed their ten year employment anniversary will receive the ten year longevity bonus.
(E) The employment anniversary date shall be determined by the employee’s current employment period with the city. Former periods of employment with the city may not be added to determine the number of years of service.
(F) The longevity bonus is contingent upon satisfactory job performance and may be denied or delayed at the City Manager’s discretion based on disciplinary actions or other considerations at the time of the proposed bonus.
