Case/Project No.: Resolution No.
Submitted by: Stacie Jensen | Resolution 21-187
ITEM 7.F. | Council Action: 6/14/2021 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution approving revisions/updates of the Personnel Policy, Severance Pay - Policy 304. |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The Policy Committee reviewed the Severance Policy after some discussion that it was believed that severance pay was taken away back in 2017 due to the changes in Chapter 20. In review of the council communication from 6-25-2018, there was some type of agreement that articles removed from the contract because the personnel policy already addressed severance. Also in the council communication is an Order of Control statement that identifies the order in which legal entity has authority; 1. Federal, state, or local law; 2. Collective Bargaining Agreement; 3. Personnel Policies. This creates some confusion as the Police FOB Union and the CB Association of Professional Firefighters addresses severance in their contract that anyone hired after July 1, 2017
The severance policy was discussed at great length between the mayor's office and the legal department. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
Approving the resolution will allow the City to implement the July 1, 2017 date as the eligibility for severance and to be consistent with communications and council discussions. Policy review and updates ensures the City's policies are consistent and effective. |
