• Mitigate recruiting obstacles. • Hire a person with superior qualifications. • Correct salary inequities. • Give credit for prior service. Method of Progression After appointment or promotion and pending satisfactory performance, an employee shall be eligible for advancement through their respective swage range as specified in the collective bargaining agreement or as authorized by the City Council. A promoted individual shall have their wane placed within the new wane schedule. Placement will be based on experience, qualifications, length of service, and other relevant factors permitted by law. Market Adjustment Pay Occasionally positions within the City may fall behind in pay with regard to the market value. Contingent upon the provisions of the Public Employment Labor Relations Act and Pay Equity compliance, when this becomes apparent, the Administrative Services Director may, in their sole discretion, make a recommendation for the appropriate salary adjustment to the City Administrator. Upon approval by the City Administrator, the employee in said position will receive a salary range adjustment. The employee will retain their original anniversary date for the purposes of step increases and performance evaluations. Any increases that result in more than a five percent increase shall be submitted to the City Council for approval or denial. Extra Duty Pay / Interim Pay The City Administrator shall have the authority to grant short-term extra duty pay. Any extra duties that qualify for extra duty pay would be responsibilities that fall well outside of the respective employee's job description and would have a defined end date, but would not exceed six months. Typically, extra duty pay would be tied to a special project or event. At the City's discretion, extra duty pay may be paid via a payroll stipend. Interim pay would include, for example, filling in for a vacancy, FMLA or leave absence. Interim pay shall not exceed 10% over the current base swage. The City Administrator's approval of extra duty pay or interim pay is subject to available funding within the budget.

Exempt employees holding two or more positions within the City, at least one of which is non-exempt, should consult with Human Resources regarding the possibility of overtime. No overtime will be paid pursuant to this provision without prior written approval from the City Administrator. Overtime pursuant to this section will be paid for hours worked in a secondary position only if the employee worked at least 40 hours at the primary position during the normal workweek. Sick and 25
