. . . The Orientation Period consists of the first six (6) months of employment. During the Orientation Period, the City will observe the employee's work to determine whether the employee demonstrates that he/she is qualified for the position to which he/she has been appointed. Performance, skills, ability, and other factors observed and demonstrated during the Orientation Period are evaluated by the employee's supervisor in order to determine whether the employee will be retained by the City. As during employees' regular employment, employment during the orientation period is at-will, meaning the employee and the City each have the right to terminate employment with or without cause or notice (except if provided otherwise by statute or applicable collective bargaining agreement). If the employee does not meet established standards, and there is reason to believe, in the City's sole discretion, that a longer review period is needed, the Orientation Period may be extended to a total of twelve (12) months. Upon satisfactory completion of the Orientation Period, the employee will become a regular employee. This does not mean that the employee's employment will become permanent. Except as provided by statute or applicable collective bargaining agreement, employment for all City employees is for an indefinite time and can be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason, both during and after the Orientation Period. Employees promoted or appointed to new positions in the City must also successfully complete a six (6) month Orientation Period. If an employee appointed to a new position is found to be unsuited for that position, the City, at its sole discretion, may reinstate the employee to his/her former position and former rate of pay if the City determines that such reinstatement is possible. Reinstatement is not guaranteed. All employees, regardless of classification, status or length of service are expected to meet and maintain City standards for job performance and behavior. COMPENSATION Employees will be compensated according to the Pay Resolution and Compensation Plan approved by the City Council. The City will develop and maintain a pay plan for all positions in accordance with federal and state laws. This plan may be reviewed and changed periodically in the sole discretion of the City. WORK WEEK Work schedules for employees will be established by the appropriate department head with the approval of the City Administrator. The regular workweek for regular full-time employees is 40 hours per week. The regular workweek for regular part-time employees is less than 40 hours per week. Unless otherwise provided, the normal workday will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The normal workweek will consist offive consecutive workdays, Monday through Friday. 3
