The City will assign mid-managers to light duty assignments when an injured employee is found by a physician to be able to return to work but unable to assume all of the duties of his/her regular assignment. The guiding principle for the City in making light duty assignments will be that the tasks will not aggravate the employee’s illness or injury.
CATASTROPHIC LEAVE PLAN
Mid-Managers may donate sick leave, vacation, wellness and/or administrative leave to another employee for the use of another employee when he/she is off work due to a non-work-related injury or illness.

An AWS shall be defined as being scheduled to work a reduced number of hours as compared to the City' s standardized 9/80 work schedule. By requesting an AWS, employees acknowledge that their ability to earn full service credit under PERS may be negatively impacted.
A request for an AWS will first be considered by the Department Manager. Should the Department Manager determine that such an AWS is feasible as recommended and does not adversely affect departmental operations the request will be forwarded for review to the Director of Human Resources and City Manager for consideration; finance will review for funding and budgeting purposes. Final approval will be made at the discretion of the City Manager.
An employee can initiate, opt out of, or request or make a change to an existing AWS as of March 1 of each year. Once approved, the employee and City agree to the schedule for the entire fiscal year. If an employee transfers to a new position, department, or division, a new AWS request must be approved. If an unforeseen emergency or hardship occurs during the fiscal year commitment, the employee must submit a written request for special consideration to revert to previous schedule. If the consideration is approved, the schedule change will be implemented on the next pay period.
Participant salary, benefits costs, and accruals associated with the Mid Managers Nonsworn Summary of Salaries and Benefits will be modified in accordance with the reduced work schedule on a proportionate basis to a full-time equivalent employee (FTE).
CTO CASH OUT UPON PROMOTION
Employees promoting from a non-exempt position to a bargaining unit position that is exempt shall be required to accept a cash-out of all banked compensatory time off (CTO) hours. The cash-out rate will be calculated using the employee’s hourly rate of pay in the non-exempt position, subject to required tax and other withholdings.
