Item #06
Date: January 4, 2022
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Nicole Moe, City Clerk
Jim Schaad, City Manager
Subject: Amendment to the Administrative Code – Title 5 – Part Time Sick Leave Recommendation:
Pass a Motion to adopt Resolution 2022-XX amending portions of the Administrative Code, Title 5, allowing for front loading of 24 hours of sick leave every January 1 for all eligible non-permanent, temporary, or extra-help employees per year effective January 1, 2022.
Rationale for Recommendation:
Due to operational need, there is a desire to amend current practice and make the process of part time employees’ utilization and accrual of sick leave hours more streamlined. By front loading the 24 paid sick leave hours afforded to employees by AB1522, the “Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014” it will allow staff to have a clear understanding of available hours as well as eliminating the administrative processes. Currently the Finance Department staff has the task to not only monitor all part time employees’ hours worked but must calculate how many hours the employee has earned based on the hours worked as well as manual entry of these hours earned into the payroll system each payroll period.
With the newly proposed system of front-loading hours, it is estimated that approximately 30-45 minutes of Staff’s time can be saved each pay period.
Background:
As part of the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014, Council has previously adopted Ordinance No. 1355 for the Marysville Administrative Code, and an amendment to the Administrative Code on January 21, 2014, to adopt the necessary changes to gain compliance with the Act. This change would be effective January 1, 2022.
Alignment with City Council Goal(s):
This item does not align with a current Council goal.

1) Resolution 2022-XX
