Editor's Note — Ord. no. 1047 §4, passed on November 23, 2002, adopts a pay plan applicable only to employees hired after November 25, 2002. This pay plan is on file in City Hall.
[CC 1996 §105.120]
The City Council shall be responsible for a uniform and equitable pay plan which shall consist of minimum and maximum rates of pay and such intermediate pay steps as are necessary to provide reasonable and consistent progression in the pay range based on job performance. The pay plan shall reflect an equitable relationship among the job classifications and shall be after review of prevailing rates for comparable work in other public business, responsibilities of the position and the policies of the City Council.
[CC 1996 §105.130]
A. 
New Employees. Generally, all new employees shall be hired at the minimum step in the appropriate classification unless their qualifications are such that it is to the City's advantage to hire them at an advanced step. Hiring at an advanced step shall be upon recommendation and approval by the City Council.
B. 
Promotions. When an employee is promoted to a position in a higher classification, the employee's salary shall be increased to no less than the minimum step for the higher classification or to an intermediate step, whichever provides the employee with a salary increase above his/her current rate of pay. The effective date of said promotion shall become the employee's new anniversary date for the purpose of calculating eligibility for advancement to higher steps within the new grade.
C. 
Any employee who accepts an assignment in a classification having a lower maximum step rate than the step rate received at the time of assignment shall receive the maximum step rate established for the classification to which the employee is transferring; otherwise, such employee shall receive his/her present rate if that rate is the same or lower than the maximum rate of the classification to which he/she is transferring.
[CC 1996 §105.140]
The hourly rate of pay for non-exempt personnel is determined by dividing the annualized pay rate as set forth in the pay plan by two thousand eighty (2,080) hours.
[CC 1996 §105.150]
A. 
An employee's performance shall be evaluated by his/her supervisor or department head or in the case of a department head, by the Mayor, no less often than after thirty (30) days of employment, ninety (90) days, six (6) months, one (1) year and annually thereafter. This review shall be communicated to the employee utilizing approved forms. The employee shall be given an opportunity to discuss this review with his/her supervisor and shall sign the form stating that he/she has done so. The department head will review and approve all evaluations of departmental employees for conformance with departmental rules and City policies. An employee may appeal his/her evaluation to his/her department head.
