SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION <br /> 1.1 How to use this Personnel Policy <br /> This personnel policy is provided as a reference and as a summary of the city of Ramsey's <br /> personnel policies, work rules, and benefits.

This policy will promote knowledge of what is expected of personnel generally, <br /> which should result in a greater degree of self-assurance in all positions. In relationships between <br /> positions it should be each City employee's individual aim to build mutual respect and confidence <br /> which is essential to local government service. <br /> Any local, state, or federal laws that impose stricter requirements or regulations shall be used in <br /> lieu of policies or procedures outlined in this personnel policy, whenever they apply. <br /> Additional information or clarification as to each section of this personnel policy may be obtained <br /> from your supervisor, Department Head or the Human Resources Manager.

Nothing contained in this personnel policy or in any other City document, and nothing <br /> said or done by a City employee, may be construed as an employment contract between the City <br /> and an employee, a guarantee of continued employment, or terms and conditions of employment. <br /> The City and the employee both have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any <br /> time. Except as modified by an individual contract or a collective bargaining agreement, all <br /> employment with the City is "at-will" employment. <br /> The City reserves the right to modify, revoke, suspend, or change this personnel policy, in whole or <br /> in part, at any time, with or without notice, at the City Council's sole discretion. <br /> 1.2 Scope of Policy <br /> This personnel policy generally applies to all City employees, including probationary employees, <br /> and elected officials.
