ARTICLE 1 – RECOGNITION - PREAMBLE
The City of Corona(hereinafter referred to as “City”), and the Corona General Employees Association, a recognized non-supervisory unit which represents employees (who with in this MOU shall be referred to as “Employees” or “Members”) in classifications set forth below in Appendix A (hereinafter referred to as “CPSEA”), have met and conferred in good faith regarding those matters provided for in Section 3505 of the California Government Code. The below sets forth the parties’ agreement.
ARTICLE 2 – TERM OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

CHAPTER 2 – COMPENSATION
ARTICLE 4 – COMPENSATION
Section 4.1 – Salary Range and Merit Increases
Effective the beginning of the pay period following City Council approval of this MOU, the City agrees to increase the base salary for each member of the bargaining unit as follows: For classifications that are 4.01% or more below the 60th percentile, half the amount necessary to get to the 60th percentile.
For classifications that are 4.0% or less below the 60th percentile, these classifications will receive a 2% base salary increase. The percentile that will be used for Public Safety Dispatcher classifications is the 70th percentile.
Effective January 14, 2023, the City agrees to increase the base salary for each member of the bargaining unit as follows: For classifications that were 4.01% or more below the 60th percentile, the other half of the amount necessary to reach the 60th percentile. For classifications that were 4.0% or less below the 60th percentile, these classifications will receive a 2% base salary increase. The Public Safety Dispatcher classifications will receive the other half of the amount necessary to reach the 70th percentile.
A spreadsheet with each of the base salary increases as described above for each classification is attached to this MOU as Attachment A.
Effective January 13, 2024, all employees in the bargaining unit will receive a 2.5% base salary increase.
Each classification shall be assigned a salary range. The minimum time that an employee may advance within the assigned salary range is one (1) year, except that the City Manager, within their discretion may advance an employee sooner if it is determined that such advancement is appropriate.
An employee whose overall performance evaluation rating is “Satisfactory “ or better shall be advanced 5% each year up to the top of the classification’s range. An employee who does not receive an evaluation within thirty (30) days of their anniversary date (i.e., the date the evaluation is
5 due) will receive their merit increase effective the pay period including the employee’s anniversary date regardless of the evaluation rating on an evaluation received after that date. If the evaluation is provided within thirty (30) days of the employee’s anniversary date, if it is “Satisfactory” or better the merit increase will be effective the pay period including the employee’s anniversary date. If the overall performance evaluation rating is less than “Satisfactory”, the employee will not receive a merit increase.
Effective for employees promoted after City Council approval of this 2022-2024 MOU, an employee who is promoted within or out of the bargaining unit to a classification with a higher top of salary range, upon promotion, their performance evaluation date (i.e., the date they may be eligible for a merit increase) shall change to the effective date of the promotion.
Section 4.2 – Classification Studies
If the City undertakes a classification or compensation study for any represented class, a copy shall be provided to the CPSEA.
Section 4.3 – Total Compensation/Benchmark Positions
Prior to the start of each labor negotiations for a successor MOU, the City will conduct a total compensation survey to evaluate how certain benchmark classifications are paid in the marketplace.
The marketplace are the agencies the City will survey. Those agencies are the cities of Anaheim, Fontana, Fullerton, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Orange, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
The total compensation survey is not binding on the City or the Association. Rather, it will be conducted to provide the parties with information related to how the surveyed agencies compensate the benchmark classifications. The parties acknowledge that marketplace compensation is a relevant factor in determining appropriate compensation for employees in the unit. However, compensation surveys have limited value as the elements of compensation and survey agencies chosen by the parties are not an exact science as to the best comparators. Rather, they are the parties’ agreement on comparison agencies and elements of compensation. Both parties are free to make proposals in their labor negotiations that are not tied to the results of the compensation survey.
The following are the elements of compensation that will be included in the total compensation survey:
1. Salary: Top Step or Top of Range Base Salary.
2. Retirement: A reduction from total compensation for the percentage of base salary that employees pay for their retirement. For example, if an employee pays the eight percent (8%) member contribution and 1.5% for cost sharing, the reduction will be 9.5% of base salary.
3. Retirement: Any agency-paid member contributions toward Retirement; and separately, if the agency-paid member contributions are reported to CalPERS as “Special Compensation”.
4. Benefits: The City’s contribution to Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance at the family (or employee +2) level.
5. Benefits: The City’s cost of life insurance provided to employees in the classification.
6. Deferred Compensation: Deferred Compensation provided to all members of a classification with or without the requirement for an employee to provide a matching or minimum contribution.
7. Longevity Pay – The highest amount available for employees with 10 years of service.
8. Bilingual Pay – The highest amount paid for bilingual pay.
9. Water Certifications – For benchmark classifications surveyed that require either a Water Treatment or Distribution Certification, pay provided for certifications that are minimally required for the job.
6 The City will utilize benchmark positions from a cross-section of the bargaining unit. The parties agree that if either side wishes to modify the benchmark positions or internal relationships, the other side will agree to promptly meet and confer.

Being on standby means that an employee is required to promptly return to work after being called and be fit for duty and able to respond. Employees on standby are not permitted to drink alcohol or use any substance that will affect their ability to return to work. Being on standby does not constitute hours worked since employees are off-duty and permitted to engage in personal pursuits. However, since employees on standby are waiting to be engaged to work, the parties agree that employees are entitled to compensation as provided in this Section.
Employees on standby are required to respond to a phone call as quickly as possible, generally within a few minutes. Upon responding, the employee will be instructed as to whether they are required to return to work (it is possible that the issue could be resolved by talking to the employee on the phone or using a computer to resolve the issue) and if so, will be informed of the location to which they must respond. Response time will generally be the employee’s normal commute time and any additional minimal time necessary to get ready to return to work. Some employees may, based on their department head’s discretion, be provided with a City vehicle while on standby. Unless the employee is provided a take home vehicle, the employee shall report to their normal work location to obtain a city vehicle prior to reporting for any “field work”.
9 Employees who call in sick for a day while on standby shall not receive standby pay for the day if they are unable to respond to a call for service. Employees will be eligible to receive standby pay on a day they call in sick if at the time they call in, they notify their supervisor that they are able to respond to calls for service after regular scheduled hours.
Section 5.3.1 – Standby Pay Employees Who Receive a Weekly Amount The employees listed below shall receive standby pay as described for being on standby for a week (seven (7) 24-hour periods). If one of these standby assignments is for less than a full week, the weekly Standby Pay shall be pro-rated accordingly. Employees other than those listed herein shall not be placed in a standby capacity.
If employees are contacted while on standby and required to respond back to work, they shall receive a minimum of two hours of pay, paid portal to portal. As such, the time is measured from the time the employee leaves their residence (or other location closer to the City if they are closer to the City) and returns to their residence (or other location closer to the City if the employee returns to a location closer to the City). In addition, assuming the time worked is overtime per Article 8, the pay will be paid at overtime rates as described in Article 8.
Employees contacted on standby who not required to return to work will be paid for their actual time worked and will not receive the two-hour minimum.
1. The following employees shall receive four hundred dollars ($400) per week while on standby:
a. Utilities Department Employees: Employees in the classifications of Water Operator I/II/III Flex, Water Reclamation Operator I/II/III Flex, Lead Water Operator, Lead Water Reclamation Operator, Senior Utility Maintenance Technician, Lead Utility Technician, Maintenance Planner, Utility Maintenance Technician I/II Flex , Utility Service Worker I/II Flex, Water Resources Field Representative, and any other classification in the Utilities Department designated by the City Manager

As directed by the Police Department, Animal Control Officers can be required to be on standby.
They shall be compensated for each six-hour standby period with two (2) hours at their base hourly rate of pay, or 10 hours per standby day. If these employees are contacted while on standby and required to respond back to work, they shall receive a minimum of two hours of pay, paid portal to portal, at time and one-half the applicable hourly rate of pay.
10 A Standby schedule shall be posted at the Animal Shelter and distributed to each Animal Control Officer II.
5.3.2.2 – Employees on Standby for Court
Employees who are off duty shall receive standby pay of two (2) hours at their current hourly base rate for each half of the court day (morning or afternoon) that they are required to be available to appear in court in connection with a work related matter. If employees in these classifications are on standby for court for both the morning and afternoon of the same day, they shall receive four (4) hours of pay at their current base hourly rate.
If employees are contacted while on standby and required to respond to court, they shall receive a minimum of two hours of pay, paid portal to portal. As such, the time is measured from the time the employee leaves their residence (or other location closer to the City if they are closer to the City) and returns to their residence (or other location closer to the City if the employee returns to a location closer to the City). The employee will receive the pay for the time worked (with a minimum of two hours) but will not also receive the standby pay for the same hours. For example, if an employee is on standby for both the morning and afternoon, they will receive the standby pay for the morning and the time worked for the afternoon.
Section 5.4 –Callback Pay
An employee called to work while off duty during hours that do not overlap their regular work hours shall be paid for all hours actually worked with a minimum of two (2) hours of paid at overtime rates, paid portal to portal. However, if the hours when the employee is called back overlap their regular work hours, they shall receive their regular pay for those hours and only receive overtime pay for the time that is not overlapping their regular work hours. If an employee is only required to communicate electronically and not report to work, they will be paid for their actual time worked if time worked is eight (8) minutes or longer.
Section 5.5 – Longevity
In recognition of an employee’s length of service to the City of Corona, employees who qualify under the following schedule will receive one twenty-sixth (1/26th) of the following amounts paid biweekly as part of the regular payroll:
After five (5) years of full-time service $500.00
After ten (10) years of full-time service $700.00
After fifteen (15) years of full-time service $800.00
After twenty (20) years of full-time service $1,000.00
In addition to the longevity benefit set forth above, Tier I members shall receive an additional three percent (3%) of base hourly rate for Longevity Pay paid biweekly as part of the regular payroll.[AR1] In compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System regulations and definition of Special Compensation the monetary value of Longevity Pay shall be reported to CalPERS as compensation earnable or pensionable compensation per Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(1) and 571.1(b)(1) as “Longevity Pay:” – a type of reportable special compensation. However, it is ultimately CalPERS who determines whether any form of pay is reportable special compensation.
Section 5.6 Shift Differential Pay
Shift differential pay is available to employees as described in this section.
11 5.6.1 – Definition of Shifts
1. Swing shift – a shift that begins between 12:00 p.m. and 4:59 p.m.
2. Graveyard shift a shift that begins between 5:00 p.m. and 4:59 a.m.
If an employee who is working a shift that does not qualify for shift differential is asked to work a part of the next shift in place of an employee who would receive shift differential, the hours worked for the next shift will[AR2] qualify for shift differential. However, if that employee is just working additional hours on their shift (not as a replacement for an employee who would receive shift differential) those additional hours will not qualify for shift differential.
Similarly, if an employee working a shift that qualifies for shift differential is asked to work a part of the next shift in place of an employee who would not receive shift differential, the hours worked for the next shift will not qualify for shift differential. However, if that employee is just working additional hours on their shift (not as a replacement for an employee who would not receive shift differential) those additional hours will qualify for shift differential.
Section 5.6.2 – Pay for Swing and Graveyard Shift

Section 5.7 – Bilingual Pay
The City shall pay $189.58 per month to employees for Bilingual pay. If an employee becomes eligible for bilingual pay for less than a full month, the monthly amount shall be pro-rated accordingly. All unit employees are eligible to receive bilingual pay. An employee receiving bilingual pay will be required to speak the alternate language in the course and scope of their employment and may be asked to assist in translating even if unrelated to their specific job duties.
To receive bilingual pay employees must pass a certification test (an oral conversational test) established and administered by the Human Resources Department in Spanish and/or such other language the City has determined is desirable. Effective January 1, 2022, employees must re-certify every three (3) years to be eligible to receive bilingual pay by passing the certification test.

However, it is ultimately CalPERS who determines whether any form of pay is reportable special compensation.
12 Section 5.8 – Working Out of Class Pay
For operational reasons, employees may be assigned to work in a classification with a higher salary range than their own classification if the employee concurs. If such an assignment is made the employee shall be paid at the "first" step of the higher classification’s salary range or five percent (5%) more than the employee’s actual compensation salary, whichever is greater, for the entire time served in the higher classification.

ARTICLE 7 – WORK SCHEDULES
Section 7.1 – The Defined FLSA Work Period
The workweek for all members of the unit shall be 168 regularly recurring hours. For employees working a schedule other than the 9/80 or 3/12-4/12 work schedule, the workweek shall begin on Saturday at 12:00 a.m. and end at 11:59 p.m. the following Friday.
For employees working the 9/80 work schedule, each employee's designated FLSA workweek (168 hours in length) shall begin exactly four (4) hours after the start time of their eight (8) hour shift on the day of the week that corresponds with the employee's alternating regular day off.
Employees assigned to work the 3/12 – 4/12 work schedule are scheduled to work 84 hours per pay period. The FLSA workweek for these employees shall end exactly six (6) hours after the start time of the first shift in the employee’s workweek in which the employee is scheduled to work four consecutive shifts in the workweek.
Employees assigned to work the 7/12 work schedule are scheduled to work 84 hours per pay period.
The FLSA workweek for these employees shall end exactly six (6) hours after the start time of the fourth shift in the employee’s workweek.
Section 7.2 – Work Schedules
The following types of work schedules exist for employees in the unit:
• A 5/40 schedule consists of a weekly work schedule of five (5) consecutive workdays of eight (8) consecutive hours each.
• A 9/80 schedule consists of alternate weeks of four (4) consecutive workdays of nine (9) consecutive hours each, followed by five (5) consecutive workdays, four of which consist of nine (9) consecutive hours each and one (1) day of eight (8) consecutive hours.
14 • A 4/10 schedule consists of a weekly work schedule of four (4) consecutive workdays of 10 consecutive hours each.
• A 2/12 – 2/8 schedule consists of a weekly work schedule of four consecutive work days, consisting of two (2) work shifts of 12-consecutive hours each and two (2) work shifts of 8- consecutive hours each.
• A 3/12 – 4/12 schedule consists of alternate weeks of 3 consecutive workdays of 12 consecutive hours each, followed by 4 consecutive workdays of 12 consecutive hours each. • A 7/12 schedule consists of 7 consecutive work days of 12 consecutive hours each, followed by 7 consecutive days off.
• Where the term “consecutive hours” is used herein is may be inclusive or exclusive of a paid meal period depending on whether the classification receives a paid or unpaid meal period.
A department head retains the right to make de minimis changes (30 minutes or less change to start and end time) to the shift schedule (i.e., start and end time of an employee’s work shift), provided the employee is given at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice of such change. The intent of the parties is not to allow multiple de minimis changes to consistently push an employee’s start and end time forward or backward. Any other changes to an employee’s work schedule or shift schedule are subject to meet and confer. However, if an employee requests to have their work or shift schedule changed and their supervisor agrees, the Human Resources Department and the Association shall be notified prior to the schedule change, and both must agree thereto. The Association agrees that if requested to meet and confer over a work or shift schedule change, it will do so promptly.
Section 7.3 – Accurately Reporting Time Worked
Employees are required to accurately report all time worked on their time sheets. An employee may not work any time in addition to their regular work hours before or after work or on an unpaid meal break without first receiving approval in advance from their supervisor. Thus, all overtime requires advanced approval. In addition, since no supervisor is permitted to require an employee to work overtime without it being reported on their time sheet, if an employee works such time, it will be recorded.
Unit members shall record hours worked in one-quarter (1/4) of an hour increment of time. This is illustrated by the following:
0-7 Minutes = No additional time should be recorded
8-22 Minutes = one quarter of an hour
23-37 Minutes = one-half of an hour
38-52 Minutes = three quarters of an hour
53 Minutes – 1 hour and 7 Minutes = one-hour
For example, if an employee whose work schedule is 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (with a one-hour unpaid lunch) works until 5:38 p.m., they would record 9.25 hours for the day.
15 ARTICLE 8 – OVERTIME
Section 8.1 - Overtime Authorization
All employees shall receive overtime compensation paid at time and one-half for all approved overtime hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours worked in a seven (7) day work period.
Section 8.2 - Hours Worked
In determining whether an employee is eligible for overtime pay (i.e., have they worked more than 40 hours in their defined FLSA workweek), the City shall include the employee’s hours actual hours worked as well as all paid leaves of absence.
Section 8.3 – Calculation of Overtime
There are two types of overtime provided by the City: FLSA overtime and MOU overtime. • FLSA overtime is overtime earned for actually working more than 40 hours in the employee’s defined FLSA workweek. FLSA overtime is paid at time and one-half the regular rate of pay. • MOU overtime is overtime that is earned when the employee’s actual work hours plus paid leaves exceed 40 hours in the defined FLSA workweek, but the employee has not actually worked in excess of 40 hours.
• The regular rate of pay is determined by dividing the employee’s total remuneration earned for the workweek by 40. MOU overtime rate is determined by dividing the employee’s total remuneration earned for the workweek by 40, but does not include any sums an employee may receive for opting out of health insurance.
Section 8.4 – Compensatory Time Off
Employees working overtime shall receive either pay or compensatory time off (CTO), at the employee’s option. Employees can accumulate up to 120 hours of compensatory time. Once an employee has earned 120 hours of accumulated CTO, they cannot accumulate any additional CTO until their bank is below 120 hours. Any overtime worked when an employee has 120 hours of accumulated CTO will be paid to the employee and not banked as CTO.
An employee wishing to use their accumulated CTO must provide reasonable notice to their supervisor. If reasonable notice is provided, the request will only be denied if the request is unduly disruptive to the operations of the employee’s department. The requirement to backfill on overtime behind an employee is not considered “unduly disruptive”. Reasonable notice is defined as at least two calendar weeks. If an employee wishes to use compensatory time without providing reasonable notice, the decision to grant or deny that request will be at the discretion of the employee’s supervisor.
Employees will be cashed out of any accumulated CTO at their then current regular rate of pay 1) each year on the first pay period of November (at which time, they will continue to be able to accrue CTO up to 120 hours), 2) when they leave employment with the City, or 3) when they are promoted into a classification in the City that does not have CTO.

ARTICLE 11 – IRS Section 125 Cafeteria Plan with Flexible Spending Accounts Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code authorizes an employee to reduce taxable income for payment of allowable expenses such as dependent care and medical expenses through flexible spending accounts (“FSAs”). The City has enabled employees to participate in a health care flexible spending account (“Health FSA”) (which qualifies as a self-insured medical reimbursement plan under IRC section 105) and a dependent care flexible spending account under IRC section 129 (“Dependent Care FSA”). Employees are not required to participate in either FSA, but the City has provided employees with an opportunity to do so.
A unit member who participates in either FSA, may submit claims for eligible medical or eligible dependent care expenses, accordingly, to be paid or reimbursed on a pre-tax basis. The taxable salary of the employee will be reduced by the amount an employee elects to direct to their Health Care FSA and/or Dependent Care FSA, up to the maximum limits permitted by law.

CHAPTER 4 – LEAVES OF ABSENCE
ARTICLE 21 – Annual Leave
Section 21.1 – Definition
Annual Leave is compensated absence for employees who are absent from duty because of illness injury, medical or dental care appointments, or personal vacation.
Section 21.2 – Accrual of Annual Leave
21.2.1 – Full-Time Regular Employees
Full-Time Regular Employees: Each biweekly pay period, Annual Leave hours earned are posted to the account of each employee. Employees shall accrue Annual Leave according to the following:
Years of Service
With the City
Each
Pay Period Annual
1-5 6.46 168 Hours
6-8 7.08 184 Hours
9-15 8.00 208 Hours
16+ 9.54 248 Hours
The above chart shall be interpreted as follows: completion of one year of service to completion of five years of service is the first level. Beginning of the sixth year to completion of the eighth year is the second level. Beginning of the ninth year to completion of the fifteenth year is the third level. The fourth level starts at the beginning of the employee’s sixteenth year.
21.2.2 – Employees on Initial Hire Probation
During an employee’s initial hire probationary period, the employee shall accrue Annual Leave as follows:
24 • 3.23 hours as Probationary Sick Leave per pay period. During the first six months, such leave may be used for sick leave, only.
• 3.23 hours of Annual Leave per pay period. At six (6) months, the probationary employee may request to use up to one week of Annual Leave for vacation purposes with the permission of their supervisor. Under extenuating circumstances and with Department Head approval, this leave can be used prior to six months of employment.
• When the employee completes one year of service, the Annual Leave accrued as Probationary Sick Leave will be converted to regular Annual Leave. If an employee’s probation is extended, even though still on probation, once they are employed for one year all Annual Leave they accrue will be regular Annual Leave.
Section 21.3 – Use of Annual Leave
a. Employees schedule Annual Leave for themselves by submitting requests to use their Annual Leave to their Department Head or designee. Department Heads or their designees responsible for approving Annual Leave being requested in advance (as opposed to it being used for illness and injury where advance notice is not possible) shall grant the request if it is operationally feasible (i.e., services can still be provided without the employee) to do so. In each department where a bid process exists for the use of Annual Leave as vacation, that process shall be followed.
If there is no bid process in existence, selection of vacation (i.e., when employees can use Annual Leave for vacation) shall be made using a process that is fair to the employees, based on seniority or some other equitable method.
b. Employees who use Annual Leave time for illness or injury are required to call, text or email their supervisor at least 30 minutes prior to the start of their shift to inform the supervisor that the employee will not be coming to work that day. If a supervisor suspects that an employee is abusing their use Annual Leave as sick leave, the supervisor may request documentation from a medical provider supporting the use of leave. Requests for documentation cannot be for leave used prior to the date the request was made.
c. An employee who files a workers’ compensation claim where the question of industrial causation is delayed or the claim is not accepted by the City, may use their Annual Leave for the time they are unable to work because of their injury or illness.
d. An employee may not use more Annual Leave than they have accrued on the day prior to its first use. Employees will continue to accrue Annual Leave while the employee is on any paid leave in a pay period, but do not accrue Annual Leave if on an unpaid leave for the entire pay period. e. Employees may use Annual Leave for the illness of a child, parent, spouse, registered domestic partner, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent, per Labor Code section 233.

All Annual Leave cashed out or converted to deferred compensation or RHS in this section will be valued at employees’ base hourly rate of pay for employees in Tiers II, III and IV, and base hourly rate of pay plus the 3% Longevity Pay for employees in Tier I.
21.4.1 – Maximum Accrual of Annual Leave – Conversion above 584 Hours
At the end of the last day of the last pay period that ends in each calendar year, if an employee has accrued more than 584 hours of Annual Leave, the Annual Leave hours in excess of 584 hours will be
25 converted to the monetary equivalent as described in Section 21.4 and the employee shall have the following choice:
1. To have the dollar value placed in the Nationwide Retirement Healthcare Savings Account on the employee’s behalf; or

Any employee who chooses this option must advise Human Resources no later than December 1 each year. If the employee does not advise the City of this option by December 1, the value of the excess Annual Leave will be placed in the employee’s RHS account.
For employees who have informed the City that they will be retiring at the end of the calendar year, they will have the option to allow the hours above 584 to be converted to the RHS or have the hours above 584 subject to section 21.4.1.
21.4.2 – Separation from the City
Employees separating from the City have the following options regarding their accrued Annual Leave:
1. Paid in cash: Employees can be paid (as taxable wages) for their accrued Annual Leave as described in Section 21.4
2. Deferred Compensation/Roth IRA: Employees may make an irrevocable election prior to the first day of the month of separation to contribute the value of accrued Annual Leave to the employee’s deferred compensation account provided under the City’s 457(b) plan or Roth IRA. Contributions of Annual Leave to the 457(b) plan may not cause the employee to exceed the maximum annual deferral limitation for the year in which the contribution is made. If an employee chooses this option, any accrued Annual Leave that exceeds the maximum annual deferral limitations will be paid to the employee as a taxable cash payment.
3. Split between Cash and Deferred Compensation: Employees elect to receive any portion of the value of their accrued Annual Leave as taxable cash with the remainder going into their deferred compensation account or Roth IRA, up to the maximum amount permitted under the IRS Code.
Section 21.4.3 – Annual Leave Cash Out

The employee can elect to receive the cash out in the one week after the pay day for the pay period that includes December 1.
26 In addition to the above, starting in calendar year 2022, an employee who has an “unforeseen emergency” (defined as an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the employee and that would result in severe financial hardship to the employee if early withdrawal were not permitted) shall be entitled to make a request to the Chief Talent Officer for a payoff of accrued Annual Leave. The amount of Annual Leave which may be cashed out is limited to the amount necessary to meet the emergency.

Section 22.1 – How Holidays are Observed and Paid
Employees in the unit work either “with regard to holidays” or “without regard to holidays”.
Employees who work “with regard to holidays” have holidays off and employees who work
27 “without regard to holidays” work in positions where the employee is required to work on a holiday.
Employees who work with regard to holidays: (Employees in all classification, except those listed below)
All holidays in the above list will be observed on the actual day of the holiday except for holidays that occur on a Sunday. For holidays that occur on a Sunday the observed day shall be the following Monday.
If the observed holiday falls on an employee’s regular workday, and the employee does not work on that day, they shall be paid for their regularly scheduled hours, up to ten hours. For employees who work schedules in excess of ten (10) hours per day, they can use annual leave or accrued compensatory time to be paid for the hours above ten (10) hours on a holiday. Employees without such leave will only be paid for ten hours for the holiday.
If the employee is required to work on a holiday due to an emergency or other unintended event, the employee shall be paid time and one-half for all hours worked, plus accrue 10 hours of Annual Leave.
For holidays that fall on the employee’s regular day off, employees shall accrue Annual Leave hours equal to the number of hours of their regular shift, up to a maximum of ten (10) hours per day. These Annual Leave hours may be used by the employee (including employees on their initial probationary period) as Annual Leave.
Employees who work without regard to holidays: (Employees in the following classifications): Public Safety Dispatchers, Senior Public Safety Dispatcher, Forensic Technicians, Jailer, Police Records Technicians, Water Operators, Water Reclamation Operators, Lead Water Reclamation Operator, Lead Water Operator, Senior Reclamation Operator, Senior Utility Service Worker, Senior Water Operator, Utility Service Worker and Community Service Officers.
For employees who work “without regard to holidays”, a holiday will be observed on the actual dates above. Since those employees typically work on a holiday, the employee shall be paid time and one- half for all hours worked on the holiday, plus receive pay for 10 hours in lieu of holiday leave.
If the holiday falls on the employee’s regular day off, the employee shall accrue 10 hours of Annual Leave.
If the holiday falls on the employee’s regular work day but employee does not work on that day, then the employee will paid for their regular shift, up to 10 hours. If the employee’s regular shift is longer than 10 hours the employee may supplement Annual Leave or CTO to receive a full paycheck for that day.
Rules Applicable to All Employees Whether They Work With or Without Regard to Holidays Employees that work on the day of an observed holiday shall be paid at time and one-half for all time worked on the holiday, plus holiday pay equal to the number of hours of their regular shift on that day, with a maximum of ten (10) hours.
An employee is deemed to “work” on the day their shift starts. For example, if the holiday falls on Thursday, an employee working a shift that begins Wednesday night and ends on Thursday morning is not considered to work on the holiday; however, an employee whose shift begins Thursday night and ends Friday morning is considered to work on the holiday.
In compliance with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System regulations and definition of Special Compensation the additional compensation paid to employees who are normally required to work on holidays because they work positions that require scheduled staffing without regard to holidays
28 shall be reported to CalPERS as compensation earnable or pensionable compensation per Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(5) and 571.1(b)(4) as a “Holiday Pay”. However, it is ultimately CalPERS who determines whether any form of pay is reportable special compensation.

If the employee chooses to respond in writing, they must ensure their response is received by the representative who issued the notice of intent to discipline within 15 calendar days of receiving the notice of intent to discipline. If the employee wishes to respond orally, they notify the City representative who issued the notice of intent to discipline within 15 calendar days of receiving the notice of intent to discipline informing the representative that they wish to have an oral response. The City representative will advise the employee when the meeting (known as a Skelly meeting) will take place.
At the Skelly meeting (assuming the employee wants to respond orally) the employee has the right to be represented. The Skelly meeting is not a hearing. It is an opportunity for the employee and/or their representative to respond to the notice of intent to discipline.
The City representative who will hear the response shall be the department head or Chief Talent Officer.
The decision will either be to impose the proposed discipline, impose no discipline or to impose a lesser discipline. The City representative hearing the response does not have authority to impose discipline that is greater than that which was proposed.
If the discipline is imposed or if it is reduced but there is still some discipline imposed, the City representative shall issue a notice of discipline. Like the notice of intent, the notice of discipline shall set forth the grounds, and facts supporting the discipline as well as any prior discipline relied on by the City representative in imposing the discipline. The notice of discipline will also set forth the employee’s appeal rights advising the employee that if they wish to appeal the discipline, they must
35 do so in writing by serving a notice of appeal to the Chief Talent Officer within 15 calendar days.
The Notice of Discipline will set forth the effective date of the discipline.
Section 29.2 – Appeal of Discipline Resulting in Loss of Pay – Advisory Arbitration
If an employee desires to appeal a disciplinary action, they (or their representative) shall submit a written notice of appeal. A representative of the City shall contact either the employee or their identified representative within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the notice of appeal to determine whether the parties can agree on an advisory arbitrator to hear the appeal. If the parties can agree, the representative for the City shall contact the agreed upon arbitrator to determine their availability for the hearing. If the parties cannot reach agreement on an arbitrator, the Chief Talent Officer or designee will send a letter to the State Mediation and Conciliation Service requesting a list of seven (7) arbitrators.
Once the list is received, the representatives of the parties shall strike names until an arbitrator is chosen. The parties shall toss a coin to determine who shall strike the first name. Once the arbitrator is selected, the parties will contact the arbitrator to schedule a hearing.
During the hearing, the formal rules of evidence do not apply. The cost of the list of arbitrators, the arbitrator themselves, and the court reporter shall be split between the City and the Association unless the Association is not financially supporting the appeal by providing paid (i.e., non-city employee) representation for the employee. Once the arbitrator issues their advisory recommendation, they will submit it to the City Manager as well as both parties’ representatives.
The Arbitrator’s Decision: The arbitrator shall issue their advisory recommendation within thirty (30) calendar days from the conclusion of the hearing.
The City Manager’s Role: Within thirty-five days of receipt of the advisory arbitrator’s recommendation the City Manager shall issue and send their final written decision to the parties. The City Manager may accept, reject or modify the advisory arbitrator's recommendation or any part thereof. In no case, however, may the City Manager increase the penalty above that imposed by the department head. The City Manager's decision shall be final and binding. In reaching their decision, the City Manager shall review the advisory arbitrator's recommendation and the evidence, both documentary and testimonial, and arguments presented to the advisory arbitration.
Right to File In Court: The employee has the right to appeal the City Manager’s decision in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.6 that provides a 90-day statute of limitations.
