Introduction <br />This policy manual contains personnel policies and procedures for City of Elk River <br />employees. <br />The city strives to provide an efficient system of personnel administration, and this policy <br />manual serves as a guide for administrative actions concerning city personnel matters. It is <br />not a contract between the city and its employees. The manual attempts to cover general <br />matters and does not cover every situation that may arise. <br />Other than any applicable collective bargaining agreement, this policy manual replaces <br />and supersedes all prior manuals, memos, and any other written or oral statements of <br />employment policies and procedures. Manuals and policies that provide department <br />specific information remain in effect. <br />Except as provided by statute or applicable collective bargaining agreement, employment <br />of all city employees is at -will. At -will means both the city and its employees have the right <br />to terminate employment at any time, with or without cause or notice. <br />No representative of the city has the authority to alter the at -will nature of an employee's <br />employment except the City Council by approval of a written contract of employment <br />executed by the city. No employee has a protectable property interest in his or her <br />employment with the city. <br />The policies in this manual shall apply to all employees unless specifically exempted by the <br />City Council. Consultants rendering professional services on a fee basis are not considered <br />city employees. <br />The city may add to, modify, or revise portions of this manual as the city deems <br />appropriate, with or without prior notice. <br />This manual may be superseded to the extent that it is inconsistent with state or federal <br />statute, a collective bargaining agreement entered between the city and its employees, or <br />a written contract of employment signed by the city. <br />Page 68 of 447 <br />
