M. Except as noted in Section 2, subsection E above, for those positions in a step plan, step increases shall become effective immediately upon completion of required service.

N. Transfer to a different classification with the same salary range and in which no salary change occurs, shall result in a new anniversary date upon which advancement to the next step shall be calculated, or merit increase shall be considered.
O. In lieu of a Salary Step Plan, an Executive Pay Range Plan with a maximum and minimum pay has been established for classes as set forth in Exhibit 2.
1. For employees who separated from City service prior to July 1, 2015:

For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee in a class in the Executive Pay Range Plan who has left City service after five (5) years of service, but prior to attaining an age sufficient for service retirement, and who has elected to leave contributions in the retirement system, retirement benefits shall be calculated as follows:
The employee’s salary at the time of separation from employment with the City shall be compared to the control point in existence at the time of separation for the class from which the employee is retiring.

As an example only, if an employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%) below the control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement would be based on that amount, which would be five percent (5%) below the control point for that class at the time of retirement, subject
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
FY 27 Salary Resolution
to the applicable provisions of the retirement system regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
2. For employees in Exhibit 2, who separate from City service on or after July 1, 2015:
a. The salary for each executive empl oyee in the executive pay ranges and the salary range for each class within such ranges shall be established by the City Manager or designee.
The City Manager or designee shall promulgate such rules and regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and administration of Section 2, Subsection (P)(2)(b) below.
b. For purposes of calculating Compensation Earnable as defined in FMC 3- 501, any employee in the City of Fresno Employees Retirement System (hereafter “System”) in a class in the Executive Pay Plan who separates from City service and elects to remain a member of the System shall have their Compensation Earnable calculated as follows:
Beginning July 1 following the date the Deferred Vested Member separates from City service, the Member’s Compensation Earnable at the time of separation shall be indexed with the Consumer Price Index (hereafter “CPI”) – United States City Average for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers -- all items (i.e., general price inflation) and the Employment Cost Index – State & Local Government Workers (i.e., across the board pay increases), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
Determination of the percentage of annual increase or decrease in CPI and Employment Costs for wage inflation shall be made by the Retirement Board on or before April 1 of each year for each of the two immediately preceding calendar years. The percentage by which such indexes for the more recent full calendar year shall have increased or decreased over or below indexes for the full calendar year immediately prior shall be the percentage used to calculate adjustments to Compensation Earnable with the following exceptions: banking shall not be applied nor shall the sum of accumulated CPI and Employment Costs adjustments plus Compensation Earnable fall outside the Executive Pay Range approved by the City Council each fiscal year.
This process will continue each July 1 until the Deferred Vested Member elects to begin receiving the retirement benefit. This adjusted Compensation Earnable shall be used in the Member’s final compensation for the calculation of the retirement benefit.
If a Deferred Vested Member held more than one position during their highest three consecutive years, the Compensation Earnable in each position shall be allocated on a time held, pro-rata basis and the combined
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
FY 27 Salary Resolution
adjusted Compensation Earnable, including adjustments due to CPI and Employment Costs for wage inflation, shall be used in the Member’s final compensation for the calculation of the retirement benefit.

After any employee holding a permanent position in Exhibit 2 has met the minimum qualifications of the position, deemed qualified by the Personnel Services Department and approved by the City Manager or applicable appointing authority, the employee shall be paid at the rate of pay of the higher class while so assigned. An employee shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the higher class at the rate of pay of the lowest step in the salary range of the higher class, which must be at least three and one- half percent (3.5%) higher than the rate received in the employee’s regular class assignment. If the three and one-half (3.5%) increase requires a payment greater than the highest step, then the highest step shall be paid.

Employees in a bargaining unit with Management Leave who move to a bargaining unit with Management Leave will maintain their existing leave balances.
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
FY 27 Salary Resolution
B. Annual Leave/Vacation Leave - Employees with an Annual Leave balance transferring to a position in a bargaining unit which is not covered by Annual Leave, may either cash out unused Annual Leave at the former class’ base rate of pay, or convert the unused Annual Leave to a non-accruing Annual Leave bank.
The conversion is obtained by multiplying unused Annual Leave hours by the former class’s base rate of pay (converted to an hourly figure), dividing the product by the new class’s base rate of pay (converted to an hourly figure), and placing the resulting balance for leave usage as requested and designated by the employee, with appropriate approval.
Employees with Vacation Leave transferring to a bargaining unit with Annual Leave will have all Vacation accruals converted to Annual Leave.
C. Sick Leave – Employees with Sick Leave who move to a bargaining unit with Annual Leave will have their unused Sick Leave remain in a Non-Accruing Sick Leave Bank.
D. Supplemental Sick Leave – Employees with Supplemental Sick Leave who transfer to a bargaining unit with no Supplemental Sick Leave may either cash the leave out at the former class’ base rate of pay or continue to maintain the Supplemental Sick Leave. If the employee elects to retain the Supplemental Sick Leave, it may be used pursuant to Section 11.
E. Employee Incentive Time Off (EITO) – Employees with EITO who transfer to a bargaining unit with no EITO will have the EITO balance cashed out at the former class’ base rate of pay at the time of transfer.
F. Compensatory Time Off (CTO) – Employees with CTO who transfer to a bargaining unit with no CTO, will have all time cashed out at the former class’ rate of pay. Employees with CTO who transfer to a bargaining unit with CTO will be subject to all provisions regarding CTO in the new bargaining unit. If the employee’s CTO balance is over the cap of the new bargaining unit, any CTO above the cap will be cashed out at the former class’ base rate of pay.
G. Management Leave – Employees in a bargaining unit with Management Leave who move to a bargaining unit with no Management Leave will have their Management Leave cashed out at the former class’ base rate of pay at the time of transfer.
H. Voluntary Leave Time (VLT) Program – Upon moving to another bargaining unit, or the unclassified service, time off previously approved under the VLT program shall be cancelled. Payroll will work directly with the impacted employee to reconcile time off Conversion example:
100 unused hrs x $15.00 (Former base rate) = 75 hrs placed in non-accruing $20.00 (New class base rate) annual leave balance account
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
FY 27 Salary Resolution
actually taken and corresponding payroll deductions. Should the reconciliation result in overpayment by the employee, the City will credit the employee monies owed on the next regular paycheck. Should the reconciliation result in underpayment by the employee, authorized payroll deductions for purposes of the VLT program shall continue until the balance owed is $0. All adjustments shall be made at the employee’s former rate of pay (i.e., the rate at which the VLT was approved).
I. Leave Caps - When employees transfer from one bargaining unit to a different bargaining unit that has a lower leave accrual cap for leave other than Sick Leave, all leave over the cap will be cashed out at the former class’ base rate of pay upon the conclusion of the second pay period after the transfer in bargaining unit. The cash out is obtained by multiplying the amount of hours over the new cap by the former class' base rate of pay (converted to an hourly figure).
Employees with Sick Leave who transfer to a bargaining unit with Sick Leave whose balance is over the cap of the new bargaini ng unit will have any hours above the Sick Leave cap converted to a Frozen Sick Leave bank.
Employees with Holiday Leave who transfer to a bargaining unit with a Holiday Leave whose balance is over the c ap of the new bargaining unit will have any Holiday Leave above the cap converted to a Special Holiday Leave bank.

separation for the class from which the employee is retiring. Retirement benefits (based on monthly salary only) shall be calculated using the same relationship the employee’s salary bore to the control point at the time of separation as it would bear to the control point at the time of retirement. As an example only, if an employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%) below the control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement would be based on that amount, which would be fi ve percent (5%) below the control point for that class at the time of retirement, subject to the applicable provisions of the retirement system regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
2. For employees in Exhibit 2, who separate from City service on or after July 1, 2015:
a. The salary for each executive empl oyee in the executive pay ranges and the salary range for each class within such ranges shall be established by the City Manager or designee.
The City Manager or designee shall promulgate such rules and regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and administration of Section 2, Subsection (P)(2)(b) below.
b. For purposes of calculating Compensation Earnable as defined in FMC 3 - 501, any employee in the City of Fresno Employees Retirement System (hereafter “System”) in a class in the Executive Pay Plan who separates from City service and elects to remain a member of the System shall have their Compensation Earnable calculated as follows:
Beginning July 1 following the date the Deferred Vested Member separates from City service, the Member’s Compensation Earnable at the time of separation shall be indexed with the Consumer Price Index (hereafter “CPI”) – United States City Average for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers -- all items (i.e., general price inflation) and the Employment Cost Index – State & Local Government Workers (i.e., across the board pay increases), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
Determination of the percentage of annual increase or decrease in CPI and Employment Costs for wage inflation shall be made by the Retirement Board on or before April 1 of each year for each of the two immediately preceding calendar years. The percentage by which such indexes for the more recent full calendar year shall have increased or decreased over or below indexes for the full calendar year immediately prior shall be the percentage used to calculate adjustments to Compensation Earnable with the following exceptions: banking shall not be applied nor shall the sum of accumulated CPI and Employment Costs adjustments plus Compensation Earnable fall outside the Executive Pay Range approved by the City Council each fiscal year.
This process will continue each July 1 until the Deferred Vested Member
Resolution No. 2025-1772026-XXX
FY 267 Salary Resolution
elects to begin receiving the retirement benefit. This adjusted Compensation Earnable shall be used in the Member’s final compensation for the calculation of the retirement benefit.
If a Deferred Vested Member held more than one position during their highest three consecutive years, the Compensation Earnable in each position shall be allocated on a time held, pro-rata basis and the combined adjusted Compensation Earnable, including adjustments due to CPI and Employment Costs for wage inflation, shall be used in the Member’s final compensation for the calculation of the retirement benefit.
c. System members who enter the Deferred Retirement Option Program (hereafter “DROP”) or retire not having entered DROP on or after July 1, 2015, shall have any previously held Executive Pay Range salaries determined in accordance with Section 2, Subsection (O)(2)(b).

P. Except where provided in this subsection, temporary assignment to perform the duties of absent employees shall be in accordance with FMC Section 3-260.
After any employee holding a permanent position in Exhibit 2 has met the minimum qualifications of the position , deemed qualified by the Personnel Services Department and approved by the City Manager or applicable appointing authority, completed 40 hours of service in a higher class the employee shall thereafter be paid at the rate of pay of the higher class while so assigned. An employee who has held permanent status in the higher class prior to such assignment shall not be required to complete the qualifying period of service set forth above and shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the higher class at the rate of pay of the lowest step in the salary range of the higher class, which must be at least three and one -half percent (3.5%) higher than the rate received in the employee’s regular cla ss assignment. If the three and one -half (3.5%) increase requires a payment greater than the highest step, then the highest step shall be paid.
