policy in addition to the statements of policy previously made in
other sections herein concerning the implementation of the salary
provisions and classifications set forth herein:
(a) New Employees.
New employees shall start at the bottom step in the
salary range for their respective positions unless it is
determined that qualified applicants are not available at the
salary specified for the first step or grade, or that a specific
applicant has special qualifications justifying a higher starting
rate beyond the first step or grade. New employees starting at
the beginning step or grade may be advanced to the second step or
grade of their salary range and said advancement shall be

effective on the first day of the biweekly pay period next
following the satisfactory completion of their evaluation period
which is hereby fixed at twelve (12) months;
(b) Evaluation Period.
Section 1 declares that it is the intent of the City
Council to reserve unto the City Council, complete and exclusive
discretion to determine matters relating to discharge, suspension -
or other matters of discipline of all employees in conformance
with its long standing view and policy that all employees of the
City of Vernon serve at the will and pleasure of the City Council.
.Consistent with this policy, the City Council has previously
required all City employees to serve a one (1) year "probationary
period" during which new employees receive regular training and
regular monthly evaluations which provide continuous information
on their job performance.
It has always been the intent of the City Council that
all employees maintain their at -will employment status while
serving the probationary period, as well as after completion of
their probationary period. In order to further clarify the City
Council's intent, the "probationary period" label will no longer
be used. Instead, the first year of employment for all City
employees will now be known as the employee's "evaluation period."
During the evaluation period, all employees will undergo a program
of regular training and formal monthly reviews for a period of one
(1) full year from their date of hire. After completion of the
evaluation period, the employee will receive formal evaluations on
an annual basis and will remain subject to informal evaluations on
ram

an as needed basis.
The purpose of the evaluation period is to give the City
an opportunity to monitor and evaluate the abilities of all new
employees. The evaluation period is not intended to provide or
lead to any property rights to employment. All City employees
will continue to maintain their at -will employment status both
during and after the evaluation period. Consistent with their at -
will status, all employees will remain subject to discipline and
termination, without cause, at the sole discretion of the City
Council.
All resolutions, policy manuals, employment agreements,
job fliers, and any other relevant documents, shall be changed to
make the description of the employee's first year of employment
consistent with this Section. To the extent that any City
documents can be interpreted as being inconsistent with this
Section, it is the intent of the City Council that this Section
shall prevail.
(c) Promotion or Merit Increase in Grade.
Promotions to higher positions or merit salary increases
to higher steps are considered to be increases on the basis of
merit only and shall be awarded to employees as recognition for
satisfactory service. The promotion or increase in grade shall
remain in the sole discretion of the City Council and shall only
be considered upon receiving a recommendation from a Department
Head or the City Administrator which would support recognition by
the City Council of the services performed by the employees;
(d) Effective Date of Promotions.
27
1 Promotions to the next step or grade, if granted, of the
2 employee's respective salary range shall be effective not earlier
3 than the first dayof the biweekly
y pay period next following the
4 completion of satisfactory service and the authorization of said
5 promotion;
6
(e) No Reduction of Pay by Promotion.
7
8 The promotion of an employee shall not result in
9 reduction of pay, and the employee being promoted shall be
10 classified in such manner that he receives the same or more pay
11 for the position to which he is promoted;
12 (f) General Wage and Salary Policy.
13 This resolution expresses the general wage and salary
14 Policy of the City of Vernon, and in conjunction with the
i
15 accompanying working conditions for the employees of the City of
16 Vernon now existing, it is deemed to be fair and adequate. It is
17 not anticipated that adjustments in said salary scales will be
18 necessary, except as to cases involving additional
19 responsibilities, exceptional merits, or other special
20 circumstances;
21 (g) Compensatory Time For Travel.
22 Compensatory time or pay will not be granted for
23 voluntary travel to attend business meetings, conferences,
24 seminars and/or training sessions which are not required by the
25 City that extend beyond regular business hours of employees.
