Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approval of the Resolution
Amending the Vacation and PTO Leave Policies for Non Union Employees for 2011.
Passage of this motion will result in providing a cash -out option to non - union employees
whose health insurance premium is increasing in 2011.
Overview
In consideration for non -union employees at the city who will not receive a cost of living
increase in 2011, staff recommends that employees be allowed to cash -out accrued
vacation or PTO hours up to an amount that's directly equivalent to the employee's
increase in health insurance premiums for 2011.
Approval of this resolution will result in an estimated maximum cost of $45,000 and will
be expended from the General Fund contingency account.
Primary issues to Consider
Why is this option only being offered to non -union employees? This option was
provided to police officers and sergeants with approval of their contract settlement. A
settlement agreement with the Teamsters public works employees has not yet been
reached.
