1.1 Purpose <br />The purpose of this personnel policy is to serve as a reference and as a summary of the City of <br />Ramsey's policies, work rules, and benefits. It is intended to foster a safe, orderly, and <br />disciplined employment environment and promote employee knowledge of what is expected of <br />employees. <br />This policy replaces, revokes, and supersedes any previous personnel policies, interpretations, or <br />practices, and is only valid until amended or replaced by the City Council. The City reserves the <br />right to modify, revoke, suspend, or change this personnel policy, in whole or in part, at any <br />time, with or without notice, at the sole discretion of the City Council. Any applicable local, <br />state, or federal laws that impose stricter requirements or regulations shall be used in lieu of <br />policies or procedures outlined in this personnel policy. <br />Additional information or clarification as to each section of this personnel policy may be <br />obtained from your Supervisor, Department Head, Human Resources, the Administrative <br />Services Director or the City Administrator. However, the text of this policy, takes precedence <br />over any inconsistent communication from any City employee or elected official. <br />Nothing in this personnel policy, or in any other City document, nor anything said or done by a <br />City employee or elected official, may be construed as an employment contract between the City <br />and an employee, a guarantee of continued employment, or a term or condition 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 considered `at -will' employment. <br />1.2 Scope <br />This policy applies to all employees of the City.
