COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PLAN

Section 1. Purpose and Intent
The City Council desires to establish a Confidential Employees Unit. Confidential Management staff is exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and is covered by the authority of the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Confidential Non-Management staff is non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and is covered by the authority of the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The City Manager is empowered to grant compensation adjustments as specified in the Confidential Employees Compensation and Benefits Plan. The City Manager shall also designate the units where CEU employee benefits will “mirror” the rights and benefits they are entitled to herein. Thus, CEU employee benefits will be set out in those respective MOUs. This is a non-bargaining unit, but is implemented in order to minimize conflicts of interest.
The City of Manteca is desirous of providing greater service to the community, and of recruiting and maintaining qualified staff. The following plan provides the basis for recognition, benefits and compensation, effective January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
