<br />[DISCUSSION DRAFT] <br /> <br />Employees may be evaluated formally or informally at any time. An employee's immediate <br />supervisor or department head normally will conduct a performance appraisal on an annual basis, . <br />and may conduct performance appraisals more frequently if prescribed by the City Administrator <br />or the employee's department head. The performance appraisal usually will be in writing and <br />must be signed by the employee and supervisor. <br /> <br />ATTENDANCE <br /> <br />Every City employee has an important role to play in maintaining a productive workplace. <br />Therefore, it is essential that all employees report to work as scheduled every day. <br />Unsatisfactory attendance, including reporting late to work and leaving work early, may result in <br />disciplinary action up to and including discharge. <br /> <br />If an employee must be absent from work for any reason, other than approved time off, the <br />employee must notify his/her immediate supervisor at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start <br />of his/her normal working hours. If an emergency prevents the employee from notifying his/her <br />supervisor at such time, the employee must call his/her immediate supervisor as soon as possible <br />during the workday. <br /> <br />REST BREAKlMEAL BREAK <br /> <br />Non-exempt full-time employees are given a paid rest break not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes <br />away from job duties on one occasion during each four hour work shift. Part-time employees <br />will be given a paid rest break not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes during a work period of four <br />hours. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />All employees scheduled to work six or more hours per shift are required to take a half-hour, <br />unpaid meal break. <br /> <br />Rest breaks cannot exceed fifteen minutes, including the time required to get to and from a rest <br />break area. <br /> <br />Employees may not purposely miss rest breaks in order to accumulate time to leave early at the <br />end of the day; all rest breaks and meal breaks must be taken. <br /> <br />EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES <br /> <br />The City of Elk River does not restrict employment of more than one member of a family or <br />persons related by blood or marriage, but does not show favoritism toward hiring relatives of <br />employees. <br /> <br />To avoid a conflict of interest, no City employee may take part in decisions to hire, fire, retain, <br />promote, or determine the salary of his /her spouse, family member, or any other relative by blood . <br />or marriage. <br /> <br />7 <br />
