25. FAIR PAY POLICY Elk River Municipal Utilities (referred to in this Fair Pay Policy as the "Employer" or the "Utilities") is committed to fair compensation for its employees as explained in this Fair Pay Policy. Specifically, it is the policy and practice of the Employer to accurately compensate employees and to do so in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. The Utilities will never knowingly fail or refuse to pay an employee the full amount of compensation to which he or she is entitled by law for work performed on behalf of the Utilities. ALL EMPLOYEES Protection of Employee Rights The Employer will protect the right of each employee to receive compensation according to the law. Violations of this Fair Pay Policy, whether by a managerial or non- managerial employee, may result in disciplinary action, if appropriate under the circumstances, up to and including termination of employment. The Employer will not tolerate or allow any form of retaliation against individuals who report alleged or suspected violations of this policy or who cooperate in the Employer's investigation of such reports. Retaliation is unacceptable, and any form of retaliation in violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Record Your Time And Review Your Pay Stub To ensure that you are paid properly for all time worked and that no improper deductions are made, you must record correctly all work time and review your paychecks promptly to identify and to report all errors. The Employer makes every effort to ensure that its employees are paid correctly. Occasionally, however, inadvertent mistakes can happen. When mistakes happen, the Employer will promptly make any corrections necessary to provide you with the pay to which you were entitled and as otherwise required by law. To assist the Employer in its efforts, please review your pay stub when you receive it to make sure it is correct. If you believe a mistake has occurred or if you have any questions, please use the following procedure. How to Raise a Question or Concern about your Pay or a Payroll Deduction If you have questions about your pay or any deduction from your pay, please immediately contact your supervisor/manager. If you believe your paycheck has been subjected to an improper deduction or that the pay you have received does not accurately reflect the compensation you are entitled to for your work, you should immediately report the matter to your supervisor/manager, the Finance & Office Manager, or the Payroll Specialist. 24 September 2018 92
