Citywide Fringe Benefits Policy (Revisions to Holiday Section) Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-014 adopting the Citywide Fringe Benefits Policy and repealing Resolution No. 2026-005.
Background
The Citywide Fringe Benefits Policy (Policy) contains provision that apply to all employees and officers of the City of Vernon and specifically outlines benefits and terms of employment for employees in classifications designated as Executive, Management, Mid-Management, Confidential, Unclassified, Temporary, and Elected Officials (non-represented employees). For represented classifications, exceptions, additions, and/or limitations to the Policy are found in their respective Memoranda of Understanding.
Given the nature of the recent developments regarding Cesar Chavez, staff recommends renaming Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day. The new name aims to honor the contributions of the agricultural labor community and shifts the focus from a single figure to the broader farmworker movement.
The proposed Fringe Benefits Policy and corresponding resolution have been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
