Full -Time Employee: Employees required to work forty (40) or more hours per week, year- <br />round, in an ongoing position. In accordance with federal health care reform laws, the City offers <br />health insurance benefits to eligible employees and their dependents that work on average or are <br />expected to work 30 or more hours per week or the equivalent of 130 hours or more per month. <br />To comply with health care reform laws, while avoiding penalties, part-time employees will be <br />scheduled according to business needs in a manner that maintains their intended part-time status. <br />Hours of Operation: City Hall's hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. <br />to 4:30 p.m. <br />In Good Standing: City employees may resign at any time, for any reason. To be considered "in <br />good standing" upon resignation, an employee must submit a written notice to their Department <br />Head, at least 14 days before the resignation date. Department Heads wishing to resign "in good <br />standing" should provide as much notice as possible, with a minimum of 30 days. Failure to <br />comply with the 14-day or 30-day notice requirement may result in denial of future City <br />employment and sick leave termination benefits. <br />Non -Exempt Employee: Employees covered by the federal or state Fair Labor Standards Act <br />(FLSA). Non-exempt employees are generally eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off <br />at 1.5 times their regular hourly wage for all hours worked over forty (40) in any given <br />workweek. <br />Part -Time Employee: Employees who are required to work less than forty (40) hours per week <br />year-round in an ongoing position. In accordance with federal health care reform laws, the City <br />offers health insurance benefits to eligible employees and their dependents who work or are <br />expected to work an average of 30 hours per week or 130 hours per month. In order to comply <br />with the health care reform law, while avoiding penalties, part-time employees will be scheduled <br />with business needs, which ensures positions retain part-time status under which is intended. <br />Pay Period: A fourteen (14) day period beginning at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) on Saturday <br />through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, fourteen (14) days later. <br />PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association): A statewide pension program in which all <br />City employees meeting program requirements must participate in accordance with Minnesota <br />law. Both the City and the employee contribute to the employee's retirement account. <br />Probationary Employees An employee working within a six- or twelve-month period at the <br />start of employment with the City (or at the beginning of a promotion, reassignment, or transfer) <br />unless covered by a collective bargaining agreement stating a different time frame. An employee <br />serving the initial probationary period may be disciplined at the sole discretion of the City, up to <br />and including dismissal. An employee so disciplined, including dismissal, will not have any <br />grievance rights. Time served in temporary, seasonal, volunteer or interim positions are not <br />considered part of the probationary period. If an emergency arises during an employee's <br />probationary period which requires a leave of absence, such time off, if granted, will not be <br />considered as time worked, and the probationary period will be extended by the length of time <br />taken. <br />12Page <br />
