If an employee is not able to report due to illness or injury, the employee shall report as soon as possible to the appropriate supervisor, but in no case more than thirty (30) minutes after the start of the work day, except for extenuating circumstances prohibiting giving notice. Each Supervisor will have the authority to identify acceptable forms of sick leave notification and will provide acceptable forms of sick leave notification in writing to employees; however, at all times the employee must contact their direct supervisor directly when not able to report to work. If the employee’s direct supervisor is unavailable, the employee must contact the next-level supervisor.

Failure to notify as soon as possible and in conforming to the thirty (30) minute notification shall be cause for the following informal and formal disciplinary action:

(1) For the first time in a six (6) month period, a Memorandum of Discussion (informal).

(2) For the second time within a six (6) month period, a Letter of Reprimand (formal).

The second salary step shall be paid upon the satisfactory completion of six (6) months service at the first salary step upon the written recommendation of the department head.

Subsequent salary steps shall be paid upon the satisfactory completion of one (1) year service at the preceding salary step of the job classification and upon the recommendation of the department head.

Regardless of an employee's length of service, step advance ments in any given class may be made upon recommendation of the department head with the approval of the Director of Human Resources.

Salary step increases will be effective the first day of the pay period following appointment or revision. If the date of appointment or revision is the first day of a pay period, salary step increases shall be as of that date.

(b) If a department head recommends withholding salary step increases because an employee has not achieved the level of performance required, notice must be received by the Human Resources Department at least four (4) weeks in advance of the employee's eligibility date. The affected employee shall be furnished a copy of the department head's recommendation. Failure to abide by the above four-week limitation shall not automatically cause a step increase to be EXHIBIT 1

TERM: JULY 1, 2026 – JUNE 30, 2029

CITY OF STOCKTON 33
granted; however, if an employee does not receive notice by the actual anniversary date, the increase shall be automatically granted.

(c) Changes in an employee's salary because of promotion, demotion, postponement of salary step increase or special merit increase will set a new salary anniversary date for that employee, which date shall be as stated in the preceding paragraph.

14.8 Salary Step After Promotion or Demotion

(a) When an employee is promoted from a position in one class to a position in a higher class, and at the time of promotion is receiving a salary equal to, or greater than, the minimum rate for the higher class, that employee shall be entitled to the next step in the salary scale of the higher class which is at least five percent (5%) above the employee's current base salary, except that the next step shall not exceed the maximum salary of the higher class. Add pays are not included in the calculation of base salary for purposes of this section. When an employee is promoted into another bargaining unit, the new bargaining unit’s salary on promotion rules shall apply.

(b) When an employee is demoted, whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that employee's compensation shall be adjusted to the salary prescribed for the class to which demoted.

to promotion."

(2) "If the salary of the employee is reduced through no fault of the employee (i.e., layoff), the salary at demotion shall be at the nearest lower salary to that which was received prior to the demotion."

14.9 Transfer

An employee may be transferred from a class in one department, or to a position of the same class in another department, or to a comparable class, with the approval of both the employee and Department Heads. In the case of a compa - rable class, the employee must be qualified, as determined by the Director of Human Resources. The Director of Human Resources, in making such a determination, must assure that the maximum salary rate for the classes in question must be equal to or less than the employee’s current top step salary, and shall consider, among other things, whether the employee possesses the minimum qualifications for such class, and is able to demonstrate through education, experience, or successful completion of pertinent tes t, that he/she is qualified for the transfer. If the transfer involves a change from the jurisdiction of one appointing authority to another, both must consent thereto.

14.10 Salary on Reinstatement

If a former employee is reinstated in the same position, previously held or to one carrying a similar salary range, the employee's salary shall not be higher than the salary at the time of separation unless there has been an increase within the salary range.

If a former employee is reinstated to a position in a lower class the employee's salary shall be set at the same step previously held, but in the pay range of the lower classification.

14.11 "Y" Rate

When an employee's classification is changed to a lower paid classification as the result of a classification study or other action, the employee may be placed on a "Y" rate.
