funds and Board of Aldermen approval. This bonus is traditionally
awarded in November or December.
[Ord. No. 2010-19 § 1, 8-5-2010]
From time to time, an employee will ask the City for an advance
against wages or salary. The Missouri Constitution forbids a City
"to lend its credit or grant public money or property to any private
individual, association, or corporation." Therefore the only money
the City holds which could be available for such an advance would
be money already due and owing to the employee. In the normal course
of business, the City holds a bank of compensatory time, retrievable
as time off or as cash, as well as accrued vacation time in the case
of long-term employees, and there is also the portion of the pay period
worked but not yet compensated. Any advances to employees are not
to exceed the amount of money the City would owe to that employee
(or his or her heirs) if the employee were to quit or die immediately
after taking out this "loan." The amount advanced may be paid back
to the City for the purpose of returning to the normal course of business,
automatically out of payroll at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
pay period.
