9 discipline of all employees in conformance with its long standing view
10 and policy that all employees of the City of Vernon serve at the will
11 and pleasure of the City Council. Consistent with this policy, the City
12 Council has previously required all City employees to serve a one (1)
13 year "probationary period" during which new employees receive regular
14 training and regular monthly evaluations which provide continuous
15 information on their job performance.
16 It has always been the intent of the City Council that all
17 employees maintain their at -will employment status while serving the
18 probationary period, as well as after completion of their probationary
19 period. In order to further clarify the City Council's intent, the
20 "probationary period" label will no longer be used. Instead, the first
21 year of employment for all City employees will now be known as the
22 employee's "evaluation period." During the evaluation period, all
23 employees will undergo a program of regular training and formal monthly
24 reviews for a period of one (1) full year from their date of hire.
25 After completion of the evaluation period, the employee will receive
26 formal evaluations on an annual basis and will remain subject to
27 informal evaluations on an as -needed basis.
28 The purpose of the evaluation period is to give the City an
24
1 opportunity to monitor and evaluate the abilities of all new employees.
2 The evaluation period is not intended to provide or lead to any
3 property rights to employment. All City employees will continue to
4 maintain their at -will employment status both during and after the
5 evaluation period. Consistent with their at -will status, all employees
6 will remain subject to discipline and termination, without cause, at
7 the sole discretion of the City Council.
8 All resolutions, policy manuals, employment agreements, job
9 fliers, and any other relevant documents, shall be changed to make the
10 description of the employee's first year of employment consistent with
11 this Section. To the extent that any City documents can be interpreted
12 as being inconsistent with this Section, it is the intent of the City
13 Council that this Section shall prevail.
14 (c) Promotion or Merit Increase in Grade.
15 Promotions to higher positions or merit salary increases to
16 higher steps are considered to be increases on the basis of merit only
17 and shall be awarded to employees as recognition for satisfactory
18 service. The promotion or increase in grade shall remain in the sole
19 discretion of the City Council and shall only be considered upon
20 receiving a recommendation from a Department Head or the City
21 Administrator which would support recognition by the City Council of
22 the services performed by the employees;
23 (d) Effective Date of Promotions.
24 Promotions to the next step or grade, if granted, of the
25 employee's respective salary range shall be effective not earlier than
26 the first day of the biweekly pay period next following the completion
27 of satisfactory service and the authorization of said promotion;
28
25
1 (e) No Reduction of Pay by Promotion.
2 The promotion of an employee shall not result in reduction of
3 pay, and the employee being promoted shall be classified in such manner
4 that he receives the same or more pay for the position to which he is
5 promoted;
6 (f) General Wage and Salary Policy.
7 This resolution expresses the general wage and salary policy
8 of the City of Vernon, and in conjunction with the accompanying working
9 conditions for the employees of the City of Vernon now existing, it is
10 deemed to be fair and adequate. It is not anticipated that adjustments
11 in said salary scales will be necessary, except as to cases involving
12 additional responsibilities, exceptional merits, or other special
13 circumstances;
14 (g) Compensatory Time For Travel.
15 Compensatory time or pay will not be granted for voluntary
