Body
WHEREAS, There is a need to modify the City's Personnel System Policy (PSP) to more clearly define current City practices with regard to certain employee benefits:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
SECTION 1: Adds the following modifications to the City's Personnel System Policy (PSP) as shown below:
Section 4.2(1). Retiree Service Appreciation: In appreciation of their years of service to the City, retirees who are fully vested with the City a performance award of $1,000 at the time of their retirement.
Section 4.2(6). Uniforms. Employees in certain departments such as Sanitation and Public Works, who require durable type uniforms, will be provided uniforms that are maintained by an outside uniform service. Certain other departments, such as Fire and Police Departments, Sports Tourism, Welcome Center, Recreation, Environmental, Inspections, etc. may require uniforms of a unique nature and/or clothing that uniquely identifies employees as City workers. The need for purchased uniforms and/or City identified clothing will be based upon the nature of the employee's position and their need to perform compliance, regulatory, enforcement duties, and/or or their need to interact regularly with the public while in the performance of his or her official duties. Employees in these types of departments will be provided purchased uniforms and/or City identified clothing upon the supervisors’ approval. All uniforms and/or City identified clothing, whether rented or purchased, are the property of the City. Upon dismissal of employment, each employee must return all uniforms issued. Employees will be charged for uniforms that are unusable as a result of employee neglect.
Section 4.2.(11). Floral Arrangements. As a benefit to employees, the City may provide one (1) floral arrangement in the event of serious injury, hospitalization, and/or death of an immediate family member of an employee. Departments should contact the Human Resources Division directly to request the ordering of a floral arrangement.
Section 4.3(3). Preventative Wellness Incentives: Employees may earn gift cards and/or prizes for successful participation in the City's Wellness Initiative Activities that occur throughout the year in coordination with the City's health care clinic.
Section 5.11(2): The Personnel Action Committee shall be composed of three members and an alternate member who are recommended by the Mayor and approved by City Council. Generally, the role of the PAC is two-fold. First, to determine, based on the evidence presented at the hearing, whether the employee engaged in the conduct for which he or she was disciplined. Second, if the PAC determines the employee did engage in the conduct, to determine whether the discipline imposed by the City is permissible discipline under the PSP or should be modified to impose lesser discipline. The PAC is not authorized to impose more severe discipline.
SECTION 2: This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption as required by law.
