Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION River TO ITEM NUMBER Mayor and City Council 6.5 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Worksession December 10, 2012 Tim Simon, Finance Director ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Consider Update to Personnel Policy for Liquor Store Part- Dave Potvin,Liquor Store Manager Time Staff REVIEWED BY Cal Portner, City Administrator ACTION REQUESTED Consider update to personnel policy to allow for premium pay for liquor store employees performing floor refinishing or product inventory on a Sunday. Premium pay would be at a rate equal to 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Due to the Municipal Liquor Stores being open Monday thru Saturday there may be times when inventory or floor cleaning may require part-time staff assisting on a Sunday when no customers or product placement is happening. Inventory—The liquor stores currently do not perform a one-time complete year-end inventory,but we do "cycle-counts"where we are always picking a product and reconciling our counts. This has proven to keep our inventory current year round versus a one-time count at the end of the year. While we have not had the need for premium pay for inventory it would be beneficial to put it in the personnel policy if a decision to change the inventory process is necessary. Maintenance/Floor cleaning—Once a year our building maintenance staff polishes and deep cleans the floors at both stores on a Sunday. This process takes about four hours and several hours to dry. Currently our building maintenance staff performs the task on a Sunday when no customers or traffic is happening in the stores. We would like the Council to consider allowing part-time liquor employees from the store to work with the assistant building maintenance staff person. A few benefits of the change: • Hourly rate is lower than full-time building maintenance staff. • Employees of the liquor stores are trained and take ownership in the stores maintenance. FINANCIAL IMPACT This will produce a net overall savings since the part-time premium rate will be approximately$14.07 compared to a full-time building maintenance position overtime rate of$28.31. The average cost (4 hours) for the additional premium pay for the part-time staff is $37.52 per store compared to the full-time position overtime pay of$113.24 per store.
