family will be made by the Director of Human Resources/Risk
Management and such determinations shall be made according to the

as a result of a displacement (bump) shall be placed on the step of the
salary range of the new classification which is closest to the compensation
of the employee in the previous classification, but in no case higher, and
the employee will be assigned a new salary anniversary date on the
effective date of the appointment. The employee shall, however, retain
seniority while his/her name remains on reemployment list or lists.

been laid off under this section (including employees who have bumped
down) shall be placed, in order of seniority from highest to lowest, on a
reemployment list for their classification or any lower classification for
which the employee is qualified by education and/or experience. Persons
on such lists shall retain eligibility for appointment therefrom for a period
of three years from the date their names were placed on the list. As a
vacancy within a classification or lower related classification becomes
available, the name appearing at the top of the list shall be offered the
10
opportunity to fill the vacancy. The name of an individual selected from
the list to fill the vacancy who refuses the re-employment offer shall be
permanently removed from the re-employment list without right of appeal.
Laid -off employees do not earn seniority credit or benefits while on the re-
employment list.
10. Rights on Re-Em to meat - If a person is reemployed by the City within
three years, the employee's seniority, sick leave and vacation accrual
rates shall be reinstated. Any accumulated sick leave and/or vacation
earnings shall also be reinstated to the extent that the employee did not
receive compensation for such earnings at the time of lay off. Upon
reemployment, employees will be placed on the same salary step held at
the time of lay off.
Article 1.15 Personnel Policies
Overtime Distribution - The City shall assign overtime work as equitably as
possible among all qualified employees in the same classification in the same
organizational unit. Such overtime work shall to the extent possible be

perform particular work.

classification in Chapters 1A3 or 1A4 for which a higher rate of compensation is
provided, then such employee so promoted shall enter into such higher classification at

assignment pay, received by said employee is such given classification at the time of
such promotion, unless otherwise ordered by the City Council. All supervisors shall be
paid a base rate not less than the next higher base rate than any of their subordinates.

Article 3.10 Jury Duty
The City will not provide jury duty leave pay to employees effective July 21, 1984. If the

receive jury duty pay from their employer, so as to require jury service despite the
absence of jury duty pay from such employer, than the City's practice of paying the
City's full salary if jury pay is returned to the City shall be reinstated effective
immediately upon the first implementation of such changed exemption policy with
respect to all personnel in classifications in this bargaining unit.
29
In the event an employee is called to jury duty, and wishes to serve, accrued vacation
leave time or a leave of absence without pay shall be granted subject to scheduling
requirements by the City.
In the event that the City's practice of paying the City's full salary if jury pay is returned
to the City is reinstated pursuant to the aforementioned provisions, the provision for
unpaid jury duty leave shall be considered null and void.

City further agrees that requests for sick leave benefits will not unreasonably be denied.
