The last revision to the City Employee Handbook was July 1, 2016.  The proposed new City Employee Handbook includes revisions identified below:

1.  Revised verbiage on the intent of the handbook regarding At-Will employment;

2.  Revised the Table of Contents to match handbook;

3.  Revised verbiage to “Worker’s Compensation” to adjust injury leave from 30 days to 160 hours of paid injury leave;

4.  Added “Baby Bonding” policy and procedures to the Family and Medical Leave Act section and adjusted related adoption elements; and

5.  Revised and expanded eligibility for Funeral Leave to include the death of an aunt and/or uncle, or the equivalent by marriage.

The handbook changes were reviewed by the City Handbook Committee in the latter part of 2017 and January 2018, with continuing communication to their respective department employees.  Once approved, Human Resources will send a notice to all City employees and post the final City Employee Handbook on the COG.

The effective date of the Handbook will be March 1, 2018.
