MEMORANDUM Item 5.5. TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Pat Klaers, City admi~ t~~ October 27, 2003 ,'~ SUBJECT: Consider Compensatory Time Policy Change for Exempt Employees A compensatory time informational memo was provided to the City Council with the October 13, 2003 agenda packet. In this memo it was indicated that I would be requesting Council approval of a change in the city comp time policy for exempt employees on October 27, 2003 so that this change could be implemented effective November 2, 2003. The change being requested of the City Council is to delete the last three sentences of the "t/me off for exempt employees" section of the city Personnel Policy Manual (see attachment). Also attached is my October 13, 2003 memo to the City Council, which should help explain the proposed change. It should also be noted that this change will not impact the police sergeants, as they are covered under a different policy that is part of their union contract. As stated in the attached October 13, 2003 memo, in addition to the change in the compensatory time policy for exempt employees, I am also recommending that 20% of the compensatory time hours that has been accumulated be converted into personal leave time. Employees will be provided 20% of their compensatory time as personal leave time and be required to use this time, or lose it, within five years. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council delete the last three sentences from the "time off for exempt employees" section (on page five) of the city Personnel Policy Manual. It is recommended that the City Council authorize 20% of the accumulated compensatory time be converted to personal leave time and that the personal leave hours need to be used, or the hours will be lost, within five (5) years.
