For Department Heads, the City Administrator will make note of any City Council feedback regarding Department Head performance and summarize the Council's comments when preparing the performance evaluation. The City Administrator will review this evaluation with the Depailiuent Head. The Department Head will have the opportunity to discuss the evaluation with the City Council at a closed City Council meeting if they choose. The City will consider each employee's performance evaluation when considering salary increases or potential promotional opportunities. Generally, an employee who receives an overall rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Poor" (or equivalent) will not be eligible for promotions or salary increases, except for any cost -of -living adjustment made by the City. Further, an employee who receives an overall rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Poor" (or equivalent) must follow a performance improvement plan to reach an acceptable performance level. If performance is not improved as outlined in the plan, disciplinary action may be taken, up to and including termination. Conducting performance evaluations or their outcomes does not alter the at -will nature of employment. 3.14 Resignations As at -will employees, all City employees may resign at any time and for any reason. To be considered "in good standing" at the time of resignation, an employee must submit a written resignation to their Depailuient Head at least 14 days prior to the effective date of resignation. Department Heads wishing to resign "in good standing" should give the City as much advance notice as possible, but must provide at least 30 days' notice. Employees providing three (3) or more months' advance notice of resignation shall receive an additional 10% percent added to their eligible sick leave severance. Failure to comply with this 14-day or 30-day notice requirement may result in denial of future employment opportunities with the City and denial of termination benefits. Time -off requests shall not be approved during the period leading up to an employee's retirement or separation from employment. However, pre -approved time off will be honored. Vacation hours may not be used to extend an employee's actual termination date. At the City Administrator's discretion, separation may occur immediately; while the separation would remain in good standing. An unauthorized absence from work for a period of three (3) working days may be considered as a resignation "not in good standing" and without benefits. Upon separation from the City, if an employee has not used their Floating Holiday, it will be forfeited. 3.15 Lay-offs 141Page
