Changes to the REA MOU are as follows:
Term: One-year term through fiscal year 2020-2021, to allow for time to assess the true financial
impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic to the City of Rosemead.
Salary Adjustments: All salary surveys and corresponding adjustments are suspended through
fiscal year 2020-2021.
Merit Increases: The numerical rating that correspond to the performance rating of "Meets
Expectations" was adjusted to reflect that an employee receiving a rating of 3.0-3.9 is eligible to
receive a three percent (3%) merit salary adjustment. In addition, language was added to include a
2.5% increase for employees with an insufficient basis for evaluation.
Overtime/Compensatory Time: Department Directors will have the authority to approve overtime
hours worked by an employee. Previously, only the City Manager could approve overtime hours
worked.
Wellness Program,: The Wellness Reimbursement Program is suspended for fiscal year
2020/2021.
Changes to the MMPC and Management Resolutions are the same as those indicated above for the
REA with the exception that the MMPC and Management unit employees are classified as exempt
and, therefore, do not earn overtime. Additionally, the classification of Public Service Manager
has been added to the MMPC Resolution and full-time salary schedule as was approved through
the FY20-21 budget.
The changes to the Part Time Resolution and Part Time Salary Schedule includes suspension of
the Wellness Reimbursement for FY 20-21 and the addition of the classification of Accountant as
was approved through the FY20-21 budget. Additionally, the Salary Schedule for part-time
employees effective January 1, 2021 is attached. The September 22, 2020 salary schedule reflects
the current salary range updates in compliance with California minimum wage requirements. The
California minimum wage increase to $14.00 is reflected in the January 1, 2021 Salary Schedule.
Additionally, the Salary Schedules contain minor adjustments to the Lifeguard class series to
maintain an appropriate salary range spread between the classifications.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year budget increase between the old schedule and the new schedule from July 1, 2020
to December 31, 2020 is approximately $38,600. The fiscal year budget increase between the old
schedule and the new schedule from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 is approximately $22,100,
thus the total estimated FY 20-21 impact is $60,650. This is based on a total fiscal year amount
for parttime employees of $1,527,300. These estimates might change based on how many of the
parttime positions are filled and the number of hours they work. These estimated increases were
anticipated when the staff developed the FY 20-21 Budget and these amounts are already included
in the FY 20-21 Budget, so no budget action is required of the City Council at this time. In
addition, it is estimated that there will be a minimal net cost to implement the terms and conditions
of the revised MOU into the City's budget for FY 2020-2021 fiscal year and thus, there is no
budget action required of the City Council on this item at this time either.

representatives, this MOU sets forth the Agreement regarding wages, hours and other terms and
conditions of employment for Team Members covered by this Memorandum. This Memorandum
provides for an orderly, means of resolving differences which may arise from time to time during
its term.
ARTICLE 2: RECOGNITION & EFFECTIVE DATES
This MOU is made and entered into between the City of Rosemead, herein referred to as the
"City" and the representatives of the Rosemead Team Member Association, herein referred to as
the "Association". Full consideration has been given to salaries, Team Member benefits, and
other terms and conditions of employment. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3505.1 of the
Government Code of the State of California, said parties agree to this MOU effective July 1, 2020
upon approval of the City Council.
This MOU is effective July 1, 2020 and will continue in effect until June 30, 2021. The
Association is officially recognized as the representative body for all full-time General Services
Unit Team Members of the City. This MOU represents the full and complete understanding
between the parties related to the subject matter set forth herein and all preliminary negotiations
of whatever kind or nature are merged herein.
Full-time Team Members in the following classifications are covered by this agreement:
Accounting Specialist
Housing Project Coordinator
AccountingSpecialist, Senior
Maintenance Worker
Administrative Assistant
Maintenance Lead Worker
Assistant Planner
Office Specialist
Code Enforcement Officer
Public Safety Coordinator
Facilities Technician
Recreation Coordinator
ARTICLE 3: CONSTITUTIONALITY
If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase of this MOU is for any reason
held to be illegal or unconstitutional, such decision does not affect the validity of the remaining
portion of this MOU.
ARTICLE 4: IMPLEMENTATION
This MOU constitutes a mutual recommendation by the parties to the City Council that one or
more resolution be adopted accepting this MOU and effecting the changes enumerated herein
relative to wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for the Team Members
of the City. It is expressly intended that the duties, responsibilities, and functions of the City in the
operation of its functions will in no manner be impaired, subordinated, or negated by any
provisions of this agreement.
ARTICLE 5: NON-DISCRIMINATION
The Association or the City will not discriminate against any Team Member based upon race,
religious creed, color, national origin, age (40 and over), ancestry, sexual orientation, sex, gender
identity, gender expression, military and veteran status, disability (physical or mental), sexual
orientation, marital status, pregnancy, child birth or related medical condition, genetic
information/characteristics, or any other legally protected characteristics.
ARTICLE 6: TERMS
The parties have met and conferred in good faith regarding wages, hours and other terms and
conditions of employment and it is mutually agreed that this MOU will be effective upon
ratification by the City Council effective July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021.
ARTICLE 7: COMPENSATION SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON LABOR MARKET
COMPARISONS
Based on the COVID-19 Pandemic and resulting uncertainty regarding its impact to the City's
overall budget, all provisions regarding labor market adjustments are suspended for fiscal year
2020-2021. The language below regarding labor market adjustments, salary surveys, and survey
cities was contained in the 2018-2020 MOU. The parties agree that none of those provisions are
in effect for the 2020-2021 MOU. The parties agree, however, that the language regarding merit
increases will be in effect, as modified, for the 2020-2021 MOU.
A basic tenet of the compensation system is that the City will not provide annual across-the-board
"cost of living adjustments" (COLA). Rather, the City will annually adjust salary ranges to the
"target" of 95% of the average prevailing wage rates for similar occupations in the survey cities,
provided that the City has the financial budgeted resources to do so. (Salary range adjustments
will not result in automatic salary increases for Team Members unless the Team Member's salary
rate is below the bottom of the salary range). This target of 95% of the average is based on the
professionally recognized principle that a deviation of plus or minus five percent (+/-5%)
constitutes a "competitive position" in the labor market. This is particularly true when total
compensation and benefit variations are taken into account. Such determinations on salary
range adjustments would be made on a classification -by -classification basis as dictated by labor
market conditions and the City's ability to pay.
The "target" of 95% of the average prevailing wage rates will be determined by calculating the
average (mean) base pay of the survey cities. The selected pay range will then be reduced by
five percent (5%) in recognition of the City's rich benefits allowance and the principle that +/-5%
of the average constitutes a "competitive" position in the labor market. On a bi-annual basis, the
non -benchmark to benchmark linkages will be reviewed. A designated REA member will review
the survey of the benchmark classifications for transparency.
If a Team Member's base salary is below the adjusted minimum salary range of his/her
classification, his/her salary will be adjusted to the minimum salary range in the range for that
classification.
SURVEY CITIES
In order to determine the prevailing salary rates in the local labor market, the following survey
cities have been selected based on a three -fold set of criteria and rationale: 1) contiguous
geographic proximity to Rosemead; 2) full contract city status; and/or a sufficient number of
comparable positions. The following cities will be surveyed on a periodic basis for comparison
purposes:
Alhambra La Mirada Paramount Temple City
Diamond Bar La Puente Pico Rivera
Duarte Montebello San Dimas
EI Monte Monterey Park San Gabriel
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN SALARY RANGE BASED ON .JOB PERFORMANCE
The City's pay -for -performance system allows a Team Member to obtain a percentage merit
salary increase consistent with his/her annual performance evaluation. All Team Member salary
increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance
evaluations. Based on the Team Member's performance rating on his/her performance
2
evaluation, a Team Member is eligible for a merit increase. Team Members eligible for a merit
increase will be eligible to receive up to a 5% merit increase during the term of this agreement.
Team Member salaries may not exceed the maximum salary range within the respective job
classification. Current Team Members whose salaries exceed the maximum salary range for the
job classification will be y -rated (frozen) and will not receive any merit increases until the salary
ranges are adjusted based on the labor market survey comparisons.
The parties agree that the following language, which was contained in prior MOUS, is not in effect
for the 2020-2021 MOU: Effective July 1, 2014, the salary ranges of all positions that are "topped
out" or exceed the maximum salary range for the classification will be surveyed on an annual
basis. All other classifications will be surveyed bi-annually.
All full-time Team Members are part of the Merit Based Compensation System. All Team
Member salary increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual
performance evaluations. Based on the Team Member's performance overall rating on the
performance evaluation, a Team Member is eligible for a merit increase. The following is the
performance rating categories and percentage increases that a Team Member may be eligible for
based upon funding for FY2020-2021.
The City will provide for merit increases up to 5% for the FY 2020-2021.
The City recognizes that a situation may arise in which, as a result of personnel changes at the
supervisory or managerial level, the City Manager determines that there is no currently employed
supervisor or manager who has sufficient basis to evaluate an employee's performance in the
prior review period. In that limited circumstance, the employee will be provided with an increase
in the amount of 2.5% of base compensation.
ARTICLE 8: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
All Team Members will receive an annual performance evaluation. The City recognizes the
importance of conducting timely evaluations. Supervisors, managers, and department directors
must submit and conduct performance evaluations in a timely manner on the date the evaluations
are due. Every effort must be made by the supervisors, managers, and department directors to
submit timely evaluations. However, the City recognizes that when an emergency or an
unforeseen circumstance arises, the expectation is to submit the evaluations as soon as
practicable.
Aside from an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance, in the event that a supervisor will not
be able to complete an employee performance evaluation report in a timely manner, the
supervisor shall notify the department director and request a time extension for completion of the
performance evaluation report. An extension of two (2) weeks will be permitted for the supervisor
to complete the evaluation. In addition, the supervisor must inform and notify the respective
Team Member if the evaluation will not be completed on time.
If a Team Member is out on an extended leave of absence, the performance evaluation will be
extended out by the equal amount of time/duration the Team member is out on the leave of
absence. An extended leave of absence is defined as thirty (30) days or longer.
A probationary Team Member will receive an interim performance evaluation at six months from
the date of hire. Interim performance evaluations are not linked to any merit adjustments or
increases.
ARTICLE 9: HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER
The City contracts with California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) to serve as
the health insurance provider for the City.
ARTICLE 10: CAFETERIA -STYLE HEALTH, WELFARE, & SAVINGS BENEFIT
Effective July 1, 2016, the City will provide each full-time Team Member with $1,700 per month
for use towards enrolling in any of the City offered health plans, dental plans, and vision plans.
Any unused remainder can be put into a deferred compensation plan, taken as a taxable cash
disbursement, or used for the purchase of any City sponsored insurance, long-term care, or long-
term saving program. Team Members can also choose to waive coverage and take the entire
benefit as deferred compensation or cash, but must first show proof of group health insurance
coverage through an individual, a spouse or family member's coverage through their employer
and complete the Voluntary Decline of Health Care Offered under the City of Rosemead Group
Plan form.
ARTICLE 11: CHANGES TO HEALTHCARE LAWS
The parties recognize that certain changes to State or Federal laws, programs, taxes or
regulation including, but not limited to, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), may impact future medical
plan offerings. In the event that such reform measures or resulting changes in the ACA altering
the healthcare coverage, options, costs or other elements, either party may request to reopen
Article 9,10, and 37 regarding medical insurance to meet and confer over any changes to the
medical insurance/benefits.
ARTICLE 12: RETIREMENT HEALTH PLAN
For all full-time Team Members hired on or before July 1, 2007, who have 20 years or more of
service with the City, and who retire from the City, an allocation of up to $1,000/ month will be
given to pay for health care benefits for the duration of their retirement. If the health insurance
program selected by the Team Member costs more than $1,000/month, the City will only cover
the first $1,000/month of the cost of the selected program. Once the Team Member reaches age
65 or becomes eligible for Medicare coverage, the Team Member will transition to Medicare
coverage, with the City picking up the remaining cost of health insurance coverage up to a
maximum of $1,000/month.
For all full-time Team Members hired on or before July 1, 2007, who have 12-19 years of service
with the City, and who retire from the City, an allocation of up to $500/month will be given to pay
for health care benefits for the duration of their retirement. If the health insurance program
selected by the Team Member costs more than $500/month, the City will only cover the first
$500/month of the cost of the selected program.
The above retirement health contributions will only be in effect for full-time Team Members
employed with the City as of July 1, 2007. When Team Member reaches 65 years of age, or
becomes eligible for Medicare, said Team Members will transition to Medicare coverage and the
City will continue to contribute towards the cost of health care coverage during the duration of the
Team Members retirement according to the program as defined in Article 10. Furthermore, it is
expressly noted that the retirement health contribution can be used towards health coverage for
the Team Member, their spouse, and/or any eligible dependent.

public employees' retirement laws and CalPERS.
ARTICLE 13: RETIREMENT PROGRAM (CALIPERS)
Team Members will be enrolled in the City's retirement program through CaIPERS.
On July 1, 2007, the City began providing the 2.7%@55 benefit formula with one-year final

On July 1, 2010, the City implemented a 2 -tier system with changes for new hires only. All full-
time new hires, hired on or after July 1, 2010, will be subject to the 2%@55 formula with one-year
final compensation option. All existing full-time Team Members hired prior to July 1, 2010 will
remain at the 2.7@55 formula.
Under the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), effective January 1, 2013,
all "new members" will be subject to the 2.0% @ age 62 benefit formula which also requires a
three year final compensation (the highest average annual pensionable compensation earned by
a member during a period of at least 36 months) with an early retirement age of 52.
A "New Member" is defined as:
1. A new hire that is brought into CalPERS membership for the first time on or after January
1, 2013, and who has no prior membership in any other California public retirement
system.
2. A new hire who is brought into CalPERS membership for the first time on or after January
1, 2013, and who is not eligible for reciprocity with another California public retirement
system.
3. A member who established CalPERS membership prior to January 1, 2013, and who is
hired by a different CalPERS employer after January 1, 2013, after a break in service of
greater than six months.
Effective January 1, 2013, PEPRA prohibited employers from paying any portion of a "new
member's" member contribution rate. All non -classic, new CalPERS members must pay 50% of
total normal cost as employee contribution rate.
CalPERS refers to all members that do not fit within the definition of a new member as "classic
members". All existing CalPERS members as of December 31, 2012, will retain the existing
benefit levels for future service with the same employer.
By January 1, 2018, all "classic members" were required to contribute their full share up to 8% of
the Team Member contribution of the CalPERS rate.
Effective July 1, 2014, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying 2% of salary to
CalPERS towards retiree benefits. In consideration of the member's 2% contribution towards
CaIPERS, all classic members received a 2% increase in pay on July 1, 2014.
Effective July 1, 2015, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying an additional 2%
of salary to CalPERS towards retiree benefits for a total of 4%. In consideration of the member's
additional 2% contribution towards CalPERS, all classic members received another 2% salary
increase on July 1, 2015.
Effective July 1, 2016, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying an additional 2%
of salary to CalPERS towards retiree benefit for a total of 6%. In consideration of the member's
additional 2% contribution towards CalPERS, all classic members received a 2% increase in pay
on July 1, 2016.
Effective July 1, 2017, Tier 1 classic members began contributing an additional 2% to CalPERS
for a total of 8% and Tier 2 classic members began contributing an additional 1% for a total of
7%. In consideration of the members' additional contribution towards CalPERS, Tier 1 classic
members received a 2% increase in pay and Tier 2 classic members received a 1% increase in
pay.
ARTICLE 14: ENHANCED RETIREMENT PROGRAM: PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES

The City offers an enhanced retirement package through Public Agency Retirement Services
(PARS) for all Team Members hired prior to July 1, 2010. Covered full-time Team Members who
retire from Rosemead after working 20 years for the City will have their pension formula
enhanced to 3%@55, with the provision that the maximum pension allowance that Team
Member's can accrue through PARS is 90% of their final pay. The PARS retirement pension is
limited to 90% of their final pay. Team Members must be at least 55 years of age to qualify for

upon separation of employment, the City has established the following criteria for vacation
buyback.

ARTICLE 22: OVERTIME / COMPENSATORY TIME
Team Members may be required to work overtime by their respective department director. Only
time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a given workweek will be considered overtime.
Vacation, sick leave, holidays, floating holidays, and other time not actually worked will not be

Team Members will be compensated for accrued compensatory hours. Furthermore, Team
Members who have accrued CTO may elect to have the City buy back any hours of CTO per
year. Said buy back will take place during the second pay period in December of each year and
will be paid at the Team Member's hourly rate at the time the CTO is sold back. In addition,
accrued CTO for any terminating Team Member will be paid out at the Team Member's hourly
rate at the time of termination.
ARTICLE 23: PROBATIONARY PERIOD
The probationary period, of one year (2080 supervised hours), shall be an integral part of the
employment examination process and shall be utilized as an opportunity to closely observe the
Team Member's work, to provide special training, to assist the Team Member in adjusting to the
new position, and to reject any Team Member whose work performance, adaption, or personal
conduct fails to meet required standards. A probationary Team member shall have no right of
tenure and may be dismissed with or without cause, at any time, during the probationary period
without right of appeal, grievance, or hearing. Probationary Team Members do not have property
or vested rights in their positions with the City.
All Team Members shall receive an interim performance report after completion of six (6) months
of the probationary period. Satisfactory completion of probation is based on total performance
during the entire probationary period. The City Manager may, in his/her sole discretion, extend
the probationary period an additional 1040 hours (six (6) months).
If a Team Member is out on an extended leave of absence, the probationary period will be
extended out by the equal amount of time/duration the Team member is out on the leave of
absence.
Employees promoted to a higher position shall also serve a probationary period that is subject to
the provisions of this article.
ARTICLE 24: FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
Depending on a Team Member's area of assignment, an alternate work schedule may be
arranged with Department Director approval. This could include the possibility of utilizing a
flextime or telecommuting from an offsite location. Any prolonged telecommuting arrangement
must be approved by the City Manager.
Any alternate workweek must be approved, in writing, by the City Manager.
ARTICLE 25: FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING ON SPECIAL EVENTS
Based on economic or business necessity, all full-time Team Members are required to work
special events with the ability to "flex" their hours to meet the human resources demands of the
City's special events which include:
• 4th of July Parade/Carnival/Fireworks Show
• Fall Fiesta
This condition exists in every week in which there is a special event. If an unscheduled event
arises, the City Manager has the authority to implement an Alternative Work Schedule which
allows for the "flexing" of hours within the same work period of the special event. Supervisors
and department directors have the authority to approve/deny or reschedule "flex" hours so that
appropriate staff coverage is maintained for operational needs and continued City service.
If a holiday falls on a day of the week that would have been a normal workday, the hours worked
up to ten (10) will be banked which must be used by December 31St. Those hours must be used
before the end of the calendar year or they will be forfeited.
In addition, an emergency disaster is exempt from a flexible scheduling and does not fall under
the definition of special events.
ARTICLE 26: SICK LEAVE
A full-time Team Member who is incapacitated from the performance of such Team Member's
duties by reason of a non -service related illness or injury, pregnancy, legal requirements of public
health officials or for reasons specified in the Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) are eligible for
sick leave.
Amount Earned: All full-time, regular or probationary Team Members will accrue ten (10)
hours of sick leave per month. Sick leave will be earned, commencing on the first day of
employment as a probationary Team Member, and accrued on a bi-weekly basis. Team
Members may accumulate up to a maximum of 120 hours of sick leave with pay per year.
Sick leave accruals will be determined by the percentage formula of actual hours in a
paid status by the City.
Example 1:
A Team Member who works 80 hours on paid status per pay period
will accrue 4.62 hours/pay period.
A Team Member who works 40 hours on paid status per pay period
Example 2:
will accrue 2.31 hour/pay period (50% of 4.62 hours/pay period).
A Team Member who has a zero leave balance and takes an
Example 3:
extended leave of absence will not accrue any hours.
Except for retirement, all unused sick leave hours will be forfeited when a Team Member
separates from employment, voluntarily or involuntary. Upon retirement, a Team
Member's unused sick leave hours will be converted to service credit as contracted with
CaIPERS.
2. Advanced Sick Leave: Sick leave time shall not be taken until such time has been
accrued.
Utilization of Sick Leave Benefits: The right to utilize benefits under the sick leave
provisions herein continues only during the period that the Team Member is employed by
the City. All benefits hereunder terminate upon the Team Member leaving City service.
A Team Member on military leave is not granted sick leave during the military leave
period. Team Members are not eligible to utilize sick leave benefits within the first thirty
(30) days of employment.
Sick leave is not a leave which a Team Member may use at his/her discretion, but is
allowed only in cases of actual sickness or disability which make it impossible or
inadvisable for the Team Member to perform normal work assignments/functions. Sick
leave may be utilized for dental or medical appointments, medical assessments and/or
due to a serious illness in the immediate family. The City Manager/department director
may deny or revoke sick leave if the incapacitation for which it is taken is caused or
substantially aggravated by compensated outside employment. If a Team Member is
absent from work for more than three (3) working days without notifying his/her direct
supervisor or department, the Team Member may be dismissed from City service for
being absent without official leave. Any abuse of sick leave usage is grounds for
disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
4. Illness During Vacation Leave: Team Members who become ill while on approved
vacation leave may request from his/her supervisor to have vacation time converted to
sick leave. Verification of illness may be required prior to approval.
5. Notification to Supervisor: Any Team Member needing to be absent because of sickness
or other physical disability must notify the appropriate department director or immediate
supervisor at least one (1) day prior to such absence if circumstances permit, or within
one (1) hour before or after the start of his/her regular shift when prior notice cannot be
given.
Sick Leave Authorized Due to Illness in Family: A Team Member is allowed sick leave
due to a serious illness in the immediate family. The definition of "family" defined under
the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) policy will be utilized. In the event of a serious
illness in the immediate family, a certificate of such illness and the need for the Team
Member's absence by the acceptable medical authority may be required by the
department director. In such case, the Team Member must be able to produce a
verifying certification upon request by the immediate supervisor or management.
Return to Work Following Illness: The department director may require a Team Member
to submit to a medical and/or psychiatric examination by a physician designated by the
City before permitting the Team Member to return to work after the Team Member has
been on sick leave. If the results of any such examination indicate that the Team
Member is unable to perform assigned duties, or if performance of those duties will
expose others to infection, the Team Member will be placed on sick leave, or leave
without pay after all sick leave has been used, until adequate medical evidence is
submitted that the Team Member is competent to perform assigned duties or will not
subject others to the infection.
8. Medical Certificate Requirement: In order to be paid for sick leave, the Team Member
must make every good faith effort to notify his immediate supervisor prior to or within one
hour of the start of the Team Member's work day. The department director may request,
IN
for cause, a certificate issued by a licenses physician or other satisfactory proof of illness
before sick leave is granted. The department director may also choose a licensed
physician to conduct a physical examination at City expense. Any Team Member who
makes application for sick leave may be required by either the department director or City
Manager to file a certificate signed by a duly and regularly licensed physician authorized
to practice medicine or may be required to submit a personal statement which states the
Team Member was incapacitated from performing the duties of the position for each day
that sick leave is requested. Authority will also be given to the physician signing the
certificate, to disclose to the City Manager or the department director, information relating
to sick leave. Sick leave will be granted when the application for sick leave is approved
by the department director or the City Manager.
9. Transfer of Sick Leave: New Team Members may bring with them/transfer up to two
hundred (200) hours of sick leave from their previous employer provided the previous
employer did not otherwise compensate the Team Member for said hours. The new
Team Member must provide a letter or documentation from the previous employer
verifying accrued but uncompensated hours.
A Team Member will not receive any payment for unused accumulated sick leave upon dismissal
of employment or retirement (either disability or regular). A Team Member may not use sick
leave to extend a retirement (either disability or regular) or dismissal date. This prohibition does
not affect a Team Member's right to obtain sick leave credit with CalPERS. Any other balances
or if a Team Member resigns or is dismissed will be forfeited.
The parties agree that during the term of this MOU, the City will adopt a sick leave donation
policy. The parties agree that the policy is intended to be adopted in accordance with IRS
Revenue Ruling 90-29 and other applicable legal standards under which employees can donate
sick leave to another employee whose own medical condition, or family member's medical
condition, will require the prolonged absence of that other employee from duty and will result in a
substantial loss of income to the employee because the employee will have exhausted all paid
leave available, apart from the donated leave under the plan.
ARTICLE 27: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
In the event of the death of a Team Member's immediate family (defined as spouse, parent, step-
parent, grandparent, sibling, children, grandchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law,
brother-in-law, registered domestic partner or child of a registered domestic partner), Team
Members are entitled to forty (40) hours for bereavement leave per incident.
ARTICLE 28: JURY LEAVE
Team Members required to serve on a jury are entitled to their regular compensation for up to
eighty (80) hours provided that fees for jury service are deposited to the Finance Department.
ARTICLE 29: BILINGUAL PAY
The City offers a bilingual pay program for eligible Team Members who consistently utilize other
languages to translate during the normal course of work. To qualify, Team Members must pass
the test developed or utilized by the City for the following recognized languages: Spanish,
Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. A maximum of three (3) positions per language per site
may be certified to receive bilingual pay by the City. It will be applicable at all primary sites (City
Hall, Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC), Garvey Community Center, Public
Safety and Public Works). In the event that more than three (3) Team Members wish to apply for
it, management will determine the top three (3) based upon positional need. Once certified, Team
Members will receive a bilingual stipend of $75 per month.
Any Team Member who is not certified by the City is not required to use a language other than
English. However, when a member of the public, requests assistance in a language other than
11
English, our Team Members must make a reasonable effort to accommodate and assist in a
polite and professional manner.
The City reserves the right to suspend bilingual pay if the Team Member is out on an extended
leave of absence of more than 80 consecutive hours and is not physically present at work to
provide bilingual services.
ARTICLE 30: SHORT-TERM DISABILITY/LONG TERM DISABILITY

not participate in. However, for non -work related Team Member disabilities, the City offers Short -
Term Disability (STD)/Long-Term Disability (LTD) to full-time Team Members. Workers

amount will be $1,848 per week. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) will run concurrently with
disability.
The City provides Team Members with a long-term disability plan to protect against cases where
a non -work-related illness or injury is sustained which results in an inability to work for a long
period of time. In these cases, LTD is received only after STD has expired and the Team
Member continues to be medically disabled. Team Members will receive 66.67% or 2/3 of their
pre -disability base salary with a 90 day waiting period. Team Member will receive continued
payment until the Team Member is medically able to return to work, or until the Team Member
reaches the age of 65, whichever comes first. The maximum long-term disability benefit amount
will be $8,000 per month. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) runs concurrently with disability.
Team Members have the option of receiving a full paycheck by utilizing his/her own leave time to
subsidize the 1/3 while on disability. Disability will cover 2/3 or 66.67% of the pre -disability base
salary based off of the W-2 (1 year average). However, when on disability, Team Members may
not utilize sick leave. Team Members may use vacation, floating holiday, holiday, and/or

SECTION 2: COMPENSATION SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON LABOR MARKET
COMPARISONS
Based on the COVID-19 Pandemic and resulting economic uncertainty and its impact to the
City's overall budget, all salary adjustments are suspended for fiscal year 2020-2021. The
language below regarding labor market adjustments, salary surveys, and survey cities was
contained in the 2018-2020 Resolution. None of those provisions are in effect for the 2020-2021
Resolution. However, the language regarding merit increases will be in effect, as modified, for
the 2020-2021 Resolution.
A basic tenet of the compensation system is that the City will not provide annual across-the-
board "cost of living adjustments" (COLA). Rather, the City will annually adjust salary ranges
to the "target" of 95% of the average prevailing wage rates for similar occupations in the survey
cities, provided that the City has the financial budgeted resources to do so. (Salary range
adjustments will not result in automatic salary increases for Team Members unless the Team
Member's salary rate is below the bottom of the salary range). This target of 95% of the average
is based on the professionally recognized principle that a deviation of plus or minus five percent
(+/-5%) constitutes a "competitive position" in the labor market. This is particularly true when
total compensation and benefit variations are taken into account. Such determinations on salary
range adjustments would be made on a classification -by -classification basis as dictated by labor
market conditions and the City's ability to pay.
The "target" of 95% of the average prevailing wage rates will be determined by calculating the
average (mean) base pay of the survey cities. The selected pay range will then be reduced by
five percent (5%) in recognition of the City's rich benefits allowance and the principle that +/-
5% of the average constitutes a "competitive" position in the labor market. On a bi-annual basis,
the non -benchmark to benchmark linkages will be reviewed.
If a Team Member's base salary is below the adjusted minimum salary range of his/her
classification, his/her salary will be adjusted to the minimum salary range in the range for that
classification.
SURVEY CITIES
In order to determine the prevailing salary rates in the local labor market, the following survey
cities have been selected based on a three -fold set of criteria and rationale: 1) contiguous
geographic proximity to Rosemead; 2) full contract city status; and/or a sufficient number of
comparable positions. The following cities will be surveyed on a periodic basis for comparison
purposes:
Alhambra
La Mirada
Diamond Bar
La Puente
Duarte
Montebello
El Monte
Monterey Park
Paramount Temple City
Pico Rivera
San Dimas
San Gabriel
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN SALARY RANGE BASED ON .TOB PERFORMANCE
The City's pay -for -performance system allows a Team Member to obtain a percentage merit
salary increase consistent with his/her annual performance evaluation. All Team Member salary
increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance
evaluations. Based on the Team Member's performance rating on his/her performance
evaluation, a Team Member is eligible for a merit increase. Team Members eligible for a merit
increase will be eligible to receive up to a 5% merit increase during the term of this agreement.
Team Member salaries may not exceed the maximum salary range within the respective job
classification. Current Team Members whose salaries exceed the maximum salary range for the
job classification will be y -rated (frozen) and will not receive any merit increases until the salary
ranges are adjusted based on the labor market survey comparisons.
The following language, which was contained in prior Resolution's, is not in effect for the 2020-
2021 Resolution: Effective July 1, 2014, the salary ranges of all positions that are "topped out"
or exceed the maximum salary range for the classification will be surveyed on an annual basis.
All other classifications will be surveyed bi-annually.
All full-time Team Members are part of the Merit Based Compensation System. All Team
Member salary increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual
performance evaluations. Based on the Team Member's performance overall rating on the
performance evaluation, a Team Member is eligible for a merit increase. The following is the
performance rating categories and percentage increases that a Team Member may be eligible for
based upon funding for FY2020-2021:
Unsatisfactory 0.0-2.4
0%
7
Needs Development
2.5-2.9
0%
Meets Expectations
3.0-3.9
3/o 0
Exceed Expectations
4.0-4.5
4%
Substantially Exceeds
Expectations
4.6-5.0
5%
The City will provide for merit increases up to 5% for the FY 2020-2021.
The City recognizes that a situation may arise in which, as a result of personnel changes at the
supervisory or managerial level, the City Manager determines that there is no currently employed
supervisor or manager who has sufficient basis to evaluate an employee's performance in the
prior review period. In that limited circumstance, the employee will be provided with an
increase in the amount of 2.5% of base compensation.
SECTION 3: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
All Team Members will receive an annual performance evaluation. The City recognizes the
importance of conducting timely evaluations. Supervisors, managers, and department directors
must submit and conduct performance evaluations in a timely manner on the date the evaluations
are due. Every effort must be made by the supervisors, managers, and department directors to
submit timely evaluations. However, the City recognizes that when an emergency or an
unforeseen circumstance arises, the expectation is to submit the evaluations as soon as
practicable.
Aside from an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance, in the event that a supervisor will not
be able to complete an employee performance evaluation report in a timely manner, the
supervisor shall notify the department director and request a time extension for completion of the
performance evaluation report. An extension of two (2) weeks will be permitted for the
supervisor to complete the evaluation. In addition, the supervisor must inform and notify the
respective Team Member if the evaluation will not be completed on time.
If a Team Member is out on an extended leave of absence, the performance evaluation will be
extended out by the equal amount of time/duration the Team member is out on the leave of
absence. An extended leave of absence is defined as thirty (30) days or longer.
A probationary Team Member will receive an interim performance evaluation at six months
from the date of hire. Interim performance evaluations are not linked to any merit adjustments or
increases.
SECTION 4: HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER
The City contracts with California Public Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS) to serve as
the health insurance provider for the City.
SECTION 5: CAFETERIA -STYLE HEALTH, WELFARE, & SAVINGS BENEFIT
Effective July 1, 2016, the City will provide each full-time Team Member with $1,700 per month
for use towards enrolling in any of the City offered health plans, dental plans, and vision plans.
Any unused remainder can be put into a deferred compensation plan, taken as a taxable cash
disbursement, or used for the purchase of any City sponsored insurance, long-term care, or long-
term saving program. Team Members can also choose to waive coverage and take the entire
benefit as deferred compensation or cash, but must first show proof of group health insurance
coverage through an individual, a spouse or family member's coverage through their employer
and complete the Voluntary Decline of Health Care Offered Under City of Rosemead Group
Plan form.
SECTION 6: CHANGES TO HEALTHCARE LAWS
The parties recognize that certain changes to State or Federal laws, programs, taxes or regulation
including, but not limited to, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), may impact future medical plan
offerings. In the event that such reform measures or resulting changes in the ACA altering the
healthcare coverage, options, costs or other elements, the City may reopen Section 4,5, and 30
regarding medical insurance/benefits.
SECTION 7: RETIREMENT HEALTH PLAN
For all full-time Team Members hired on or before July 1, 2007, who have 20 years or more of
service with the City, and who retire from the City, an allocation of up to $1,000/ month will be
given to pay for health care benefits for the duration of their retirement. If the health insurance
program selected by the Team Member costs more than $1,000/month, the City will only cover
the first $1,000/month of the cost of the selected program. Once the Team Member reaches age
65 or becomes eligible for Medicare coverage, the Team Member will transition to Medicare
coverage, with the City picking up the remaining cost of health insurance coverage up to a
maximum of $1,000/month.
For all full-time Team Members hired on or before July 1, 2007, who have 12-19 years of
service with the City, and who retire from the City, an allocation of up to $500/month will be
given to pay for health care benefits for the duration of their retirement. If the health insurance
program selected by the Team Member costs more than $500/month, the City will only cover the
first $500/month of the cost of the selected program.
The above retirement health contributions will only be in effect for full-time Team Members
employed with the City as of July 1, 2007. When Team Member reaches 65 years of age, or
becomes eligible for Medicare, said Team Members will transition to Medicare coverage and the
City will continue to contribute towards the cost of health care coverage during the duration of
the Team Members retirement according to the program as defined in Section 5. Furthermore, it
is expressly noted that the retirement health contribution can be used towards health coverage for
the Team Member, their spouse, and/or any eligible dependent.
Team Members hired after July 1, 2007 will receive retiree health benefits in accordance with
public employees' retirement laws and Ca1PERS.
SECTION 8: RETIREMENT PROGRAM WALPERS)
Team Members will be enrolled in the City's retirement program through Ca1PERS.
On July 1, 2007, the City began providing the 2.7%@55 benefit formula with one-year final
compensation option with no cap.
On July 1, 2010, the City implemented a 2 -tier system with changes for new hires only. All full-
time new hires, hired on or after July 1, 2010, will be subject to the 2%@55 formula with one-
year final compensation option.
All existing full-time Team Members hired prior to July 1, 2010 will remain at the 2.7@55
formula.
Under the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), effective January 1, 2013,
all "new members" will be subject to the 2.0% @ age 62 benefit formula which also requires a
three year final compensation (the highest average annual pensionable compensation earned by a
member during a period of at least 36 months) with an early retirement age of 52.
A "New Member" is defined as:
1. A new hire that is brought into Ca1PERS membership for the first time on or after
January 1, 2013, and who has no prior membership in any other California public
retirement system.
2. A new hire who is brought into Ca1PERS membership for the first time on or after
January 1, 2013, and who is not eligible for reciprocity with another California
public retirement system.
3. A member who established Ca1PERS membership prior to January 1, 2013, and who
is hired by a different Ca1PERS employer after January 1, 2013, after a break in
service of greater than six months.
Effective January 1, 2013, PEPRA prohibited employers from paying any portion of a "new
member's" member contribution rate. All new members must pay 50% of total normal cost as
Team Member contribution rate.
Ca1PERS refers to all members that do not fit within the definition of a new member as "classic
members". All existing CalPERS members as of December 31, 2012, will retain the existing
benefit levels for future service with the same employer.
Effective January 1, 2013, PEPRA prohibited employers from paying any portion of a "new
member's" member contribution rate. All non -classic California Public Employees' Retirement
System (CalPERS) members must pay 50% of total normal cost as employee contribution rate.
By January 1, 2018, all "classic members" will be required to contribute their full share up to 8%
of the Team Member contribution of the CalPERS rate.
Effective July 1, 2014, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying 2% of salary to
CalPERS towards retiree benefits. In consideration of the member's 2% contribution towards
CalPERS, all classic members received a 2% increase in pay on July 1, 2014,.
Effective July 1, 2015, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying an additional 2%
of salary to CalPERS towards retiree benefits for a total of 4%. In consideration of the member's
2% contribution towards CalPERS, all classic members received a 2% increase in pay on July 1,
2014.
Effective July 1, 2016, all classic members enrolled in CalPERS began paying an additional 2%
of salary to CalPERS towards retiree benefits for a total of 6%. In consideration of the
member's 2% contribution towards CalPERS, all classic members received a 2% increase in pay
on July 1, 2014.
Effective July 1, 2017, Tier 1 classic members began contributing an additional 2% to CalPERS
for a total of 8%, and Tier 2 classic members began contribution an additional 1% for a total of
7%. In consideration of the member's additional contribution towards CalPERS, Tier 1 classic
members received a 2% increase in pay and Tier 2 classic members received a 1% increase in
pay.
SECTION 9: ENHANCED RETIREMENT PROGRAM: PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES
PARS
The City offers an enhanced retirement package through Public Agency Retirement Services
(PARS) for all Team Members hired prior to July 1, 2010. Covered full-time Team Members
who retire from Rosemead after working 20 years for the City will have their pension formula
enhanced to 3%@55, with the provision that the maximum pension allowance that Team
Member's can accrue through PARS is 90% of their final pay. The PARS retirement pension is
limited to 90% of their final pay. Team Members must be at least 55 years of age to qualify for
PARS.
All Team Members hired on or after July 1, 2010 are ineligible for the Enhanced Retirement
Program through PARS in accordance with State law. PARS has been eliminated for all new
full-time Team Members.
SECTION 10: SOCIAL SECURITY

the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (Social Security). In addition, the City contributes an
additional amount at least equal to the employee's contribution.
SECTION 11: EMPLOYER FUNDED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM (401A)
For all full-time Team Members, the City set-up and began contributing into a deferred
compensation account a percentage of the Team Member salary based on years of service. That
funding formula is as follows:
Years of Service

Deferred Cont ensation Pro ram
0-4
1%
5-9
2%
10-14

In accordance with State law, all Team Members hired on or after July 1, 2010 are ineligible for
the employer funded deferred compensation program. The employer funded deferred
compensation program has been eliminated for all new full-time Team Members.

banks or borrowing from future accruals will not be allowed.
All full-time Team Members are entitled to a paid vacation following one year of employment.
Team Members may begin taking accrued vacation after six months of employment.
Vacation accruals will be determined by the percentage formula of actual hours in a paid status
by the City.
Examplel• A Team Member (with 1-13 years of service) who works 80 hours
on paid status per pay period will accrue 5.38 hours/pay period.
A Team Member (with 1-13 years of service) who works 40 hours

50% of 5.38 hours/pay period).
A Team Member (with 1-13 years of service) who has a zero leave
Example 3: balance and takes an extended leave of absence will not accrue any
hours.
SECTION 13: VACATION BUYBACK
In order to encourage Team Members to take regular vacations on an annual basis and to
partially limit the growth of the City's long-term liability of Team Member accrued vacation
hours upon separation of employment, the City has established the following criteria for vacation
buyback.
Once per calendar year, a full-time Team Member is eligible to have the City buyback up to 40
hours (1 week) of accumulated unused vacation time. On July 1, 2011, the City established two
(2) vacation banks as follows:
Bank A: Vacation eamed/accrued prior to June 30, 2011.
Bank B: Vacation earned/accrued after July 1, 2011 (Subject to a 2 year cap).
For the purposes of vacation buyback, all Team Members must utilize Bank A prior to utilizing
Bank B. However, if there are no hours accrued in Bank A, Team Members may utilize Bank B

leave. On July 1, 2011, the opportunity to sell back administrative leave was eliminated. The
use of administrative leave will be limited to no more than one (1) day/shift intervals/increments.
Team members will not be able to supplant/combine administrative leave with vacation. The
only exception will be from Christmas to New Year's Day when non-essential City services and

prior to July 1, 2010 under the terms of the administrative leave clause will continue to be
eligible for said entitlements.
SECTION 17: PROBATIONARY PERIOD
The probationary period, of one year (2080 supervised hours), shall be an integral part of the
employment examination process and shall be utilized as an opportunity to closely observe the
Team Member's work, to provide special training, to assist the Team Member in adjusting to the
new position, and to reject any Team Member whose work performance, adaption, or personal
conduct fails to meet required standards. A probationary Team member shall have no right of
tenure and may be dismissed without cause, at any time, during the probationary period without
right of appeal, grievance, or hearing. Probationary Team Members do not have property or
vested rights in their positions with the City.
All Team Members shall receive an interim performance report after completion of six (6)
months of the probationary period. Satisfactory completion of probation is based on total
performance during the entire probationary period. The City Manager may, in his/her sole
discretion, extend the probationary period an additional 1040 hours (six (6) months).
If a Team Member is out on an extended leave of absence, the probationary period will be
extended out by the equal amount of time/duration the Team member is out on the leave of
absence.
SECTION 18: FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
Depending on a Team Member's area of assignment, an alternate work schedule may be
arranged with Department Director approval. This could include the possibility of utilizing a
flextime or telecommuting from an offsite location. Any prolonged telecommuting arrangement
must be approved by the City Manager.
Any alternate workweek must be approved, in writing, by the City Manager.
SECTION 19: FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING ON SPECIAL EVENTS
Based on economic or business necessity, all full-time Team Members are required to work
special events with the ability to "flex" their hours to meet the human resources demands of the
City's special events which include:
• 4th of July Parade/Carnival/Fireworks Show
• Fall Fiesta
This condition exists in every week in which there is a special event. If an unscheduled event
arises, the City Manager has the authority to implement an Alternative Work Schedule which
allows for the "flexing" of hours within the same work period of the special event. Supervisors
and department directors have the. authority to approve/deny or reschedule "flex" hours so that
appropriate staff coverage is maintained for operational needs and continued City service.
If a holiday falls on a day of the week that would have been a normal workday, the hours worked
up to ten (10) will be banked which must be used by December 31St. Those hours must be used
before the end of the calendar year or they will be forfeited.
In addition, an emergency disaster is exempt from a flexible scheduling and does not fall under
the definition of special events.
SECTION 20: SICK LEAVE
A full-time Team Member who is incapacitated from the performance of such Team Member's
duties by reason of a non -service related illness or injury, pregnancy, legal requirements of
public health officials or for reasons specified in the Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) are
eligible for sick leave.
1. Amount Earned: All full-time, regular or probationary Team Members will accrue ten
(10) hours of sick leave per month. Sick leave will be earned, commencing on the first
day of employment as a probationary Team Member, and accrued on a bi-weekly basis.
Team Members may accumulate up to a maximum of 120 hours of sick leave with pay
per year. Sick leave accruals will be determined by the percentage formula of actual
hours in a paid status by the City.
Example 1:
A Team Member who works 80 hours on paid status per pay
period will accrue 4.62 hours/pay eriod.
A Team Member who works 40 hours on paid status per pay
period will accrue 2.31 hour/pay period (50% of 4.62
Exam le 2:
hours/pay period).
A Team Member who has a zero leave balance and takes an
Example 3:
extended leave of absence will not accrue any hours.
A new Team Member cannot utilize sick leave within the first thirty (30) days of
employment. Team Members retiring from the City may have the option to sell back sick
leave to purchase service time from CalPERS. Any other sick leave balance or if the
Team Member leaves employment, voluntarily or involuntarily, will be forfeited.
Except for retirement, all unused sick leave hours will be forfeited when a Team Member
separates from employment, voluntarily or involuntary. Upon retirement, a Team
Member's unused sick leave hours will be converted to service credit as contracted with
Ca1PERS.
2. Advanced Sick Leave: Sick leave time shall not be taken until such time has been
accrued.
3. Utilization of Sick Leave Benefits: The right to utilize benefits under the sick leave
provisions herein continues only during the period that the Team Member is employed by
the City. All benefits hereunder terminate upon the Team Member leaving City service.
A Team Member on military leave is not granted sick leave during the military leave
period. Team Members are not eligible to utilize sick leave benefits within the first thirty
(30) days of employment.
Sick leave is not a leave which a Team Member may use at his/her discretion, but is
allowed only in cases of actual sickness or disability which make it impossible or
inadvisable for the Team Member to perform normal work assignments/functions. Sick
leave may be utilized for dental or medical appointments, medical assessments and/or
due to a serious illness in the immediate family. The City Manager/department director
may deny or revoke sick leave if the incapacitation for which it is taken is caused or
substantially aggravated by compensated outside employment. If a Team Member is
absent from work for more than three (3) working days without notifying his/her direct
supervisor or department, the Team Member may be dismissed from City service for
being absent without official leave. Any abuse of sick leave usage is grounds for
disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
4. Illness During Vacation Leave: Team Members who become ill while on approved
vacation leave may request from his/her supervisor to have vacation time converted to
sick leave. Verification of illness may be required prior to approval.
5. Notification to Supervisor: Any Team Member needing to be absent because of sickness
or other physical disability must notify the appropriate department director or immediate
supervisor at least one (1) day prior to such absence if circumstances permit, or within
one (1) hour before the start of his/her regular shift when prior notice cannot be given.
6. Sick Leave Authorized Due to Illness in Family: A Team Member is allowed sick leave
due to a serious illness in the immediate family. The definition of "family" defined under
the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) policy will be utilized. In the event of a
serious illness in the immediate family, a certificate of such illness and the need for the
Team Member's absence by the acceptable medical authority may be required by the
department director. In such case, the Team Member must be able to produce a verifying
certification upon request by the immediate supervisor or management.
7. Return to Work Following Illness: The department director may require a Team Member
to submit to a medical and/or psychiatric examination by a physician designated by the
City before permitting the Team Member to return to work after the Team Member has
been on sick leave. If the results of any such examination indicate that the Team Member
is unable to perform assigned duties, or if performance of those duties will expose others
to infection, the Team Member will be placed on sick leave, or leave without pay after all
sick leave has been used, until adequate medical evidence is submitted that the Team
Member is competent to perform assigned duties or will not subject others to the
infection.
8. Medical Certificate Requirement: In order to be paid for sick leave, the Team Member
must make every good faith effort to notify his immediate supervisor prior to the start of
the Team Member's work day. The department director may request, for cause, a
certificate issued by a licensed physician or other satisfactory proof of illness before sick
leave is granted. The department director may also choose a licensed physician to
conduct a physical examination at City expense. Any Team Member who makes
application for sick leave may be required by either the department director or City
Manager to file a certificate signed by a duly and regularly licensed physician authorized
to practice medicine or may be required to submit a personal statement which states the
Team Member was incapacitated from performing the duties of the position for each day
that sick leave is requested. Authority will also be given to the physician signing the
certificate, to disclose to the City Manager or the department director, information
relating to sick leave. Sick leave will be granted when the application for sick leave is
approved by the department director or the City Manager.
9. Transfer of Sick Leave: New Team Members may bring with them/transfer up to two
hundred (200) hours of sick leave from their previous employer provided the previous
employer did not otherwise compensate the Team Member for said hours. The new
Team Member must provide a letter or documentation from the previous employer
verifying accrued but uncompensated hours.
A Team Member will not receive any payment for unused accumulated sick leave upon dismissal
of employment or retirement (either disability or regular). A Team Member may not use sick
leave to extend a retirement (either disability or regular) or dismissal date. This prohibition does
not affect a Team Member's right to obtain sick leave credit with Ca1PERS. Any other balances
or if a Team Member resigns or is dismissed will be forfeited.
During the term of this Resolution, the City will adopt a sick leave donation policy. The policy
is intended to be adopted in accordance with IRS Revenue Ruling 90-29 and other applicable
legal standards under which employees can donate sick leave to another employee whose own
medical condition, or family member's medical condition, will require the prolonged absence of
that other employee from duty and will result in a substantial loss of income to the employee
because the employee will have exhausted all paid leave available, apart from the donated leave
under the plan.
SECTION 21: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
In the event of the death of a Team Member's immediate family (defined as spouse, parent, step-
parent, grandparent, sibling, children, grandchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law,
brother-in-law, registered domestic partner or child of a registered domestic partner), Team
Members are entitled to forty (40) hours for bereavement leave per incident.
SECTION 22: JURY LEAVE
Team Members required to serve on a jury are entitled to their regular compensation for up to
eighty (80) hours provided that fees for jury service are deposited to the Finance Department.
SECTION 23: BILINGUAL PAY
The City offers a bilingual pay program for eligible Team Members who consistently utilize
other languages to translate during the normal course of work. To qualify, Team Members must
pass the test developed or utilized by the City for the following recognized languages: Spanish,
Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. A maximum of three (3) positions per language per site
may be certified to receive bilingual pay by the City. It will be applicable at all primary sites
(City Hall, Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC), Garvey Community Center,
Public Safety and Public Works). In the event that more than three (3) Team Members wish to
apply for it, management will determine the top three (3) based upon positional need. Once
certified, Team Members will receive a bilingual stipend of $75 per month.
Any Team Member who is not certified by the City is not required to use a language other than
English. However, when a member of the public, requests assistance in a language other than
English, our Team Members must make a reasonable effort to accommodate and assist in a polite
and professional manner.
The City reserves the right to suspend bilingual pay if the Team Member is out on an extended
leave of absence of more than 80 consecutive hours and is not physically present at work to
provide bilingual services.
SECTION 24: SHORT TERM DISABILITY/LONG TERM DISABILITY
State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a partial wage replacement insurance in which the City does
not participate in. However, for non -work related Team Member disabilities, the City offers
Short -Term Disability (STD)/Long-Term Disability (LTD) to full-time Team Members.
Workers compensation injuries are excluded from disability leave/insurance offered by the City.
The City provides Team Members with a short-term disability plan to protect against cases
where a non -work-related illness or injury is sustained which results in an inability to work for a
short period of time. Team Members will receive 66.67% or 2/3 of their pre -disability base
salary (1 year average of W-2) with a waiting period of 15 calendar days before receiving their
benefits and can last up to 11 weeks. Team Members will receive continued payment until the
Team Member is medically able to return to work, or has to begin utilizing long term disability,
or until the Team Member reaches the age of 65, whichever comes first. The maximum short-
term disability benefit amount will be $1,848 per week. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
will run concurrently with disability.
The City provides Team Members with a long-term disability plan to protect against cases where
a non -work-related illness or injury is sustained which results in an inability to work for a long
period of time. In these cases, LTD is received only after STD has expired and the Team
Member continues to be medically disabled. Team Members will receive 66.67% or 2/3 of their
pre -disability base salary with a 90 day waiting period. Team Member will receive continued
payment until the Team Member is medically able to return to work, or until the Team Member
reaches the age of 65, whichever comes first. The maximum long-term disability benefit amount
will be $8,000 per month. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) runs concurrently with
disability.
Team Members have the option of receiving a full paycheck by utilizing his/her own leave time
to subsidize the 1/3 while on disability. Disability will cover 2/3 or 66.67% of the pre -disability
base salary based off of the W-2 (1 year average). However, when on disability, Team Members
may not utilize sick leave. Team Members may use vacation, floating holiday, holiday, and/or
compensatory time (if applicable). Leave Accrual rate will be based upon the hours utilized.

Assistant Ci Manager
Director of Community Development
Director of Finance
Director of Parks & Recreation
Director of Public Works
SECTION 2: COMPENSATION SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON LABOR MARKET
COMPARISONS
Based on the COVID-19 Pandemic and resulting economic uncertainty and its impact to the City's overall
budget, all salary adjustments are suspended for fiscal year 2020-2021. The language below regarding
labor market adjustments, salary surveys, and survey cities was contained in the 2018-2020 Resolution.
None of those provisions are in effect for the 2020-2021 Resolution. However, the language regarding
merit increases will be in effect, as modified, for the 2020-2021 Resolution.
A basic tenet of the compensation system is that the City will not provide annual across-the-board "cost
of living adjustments" (COLA). Rather, the City will annually adjust salary ranges to the "target" of 95%
of the average prevailing wage rates for similar occupations in the survey cities, provided that the City has
the financial budgeted resources to do so. (Salary range adjustments will not result in automatic salary
increases for Team Members unless the Team Member's salary rate is below the bottom of the salary
range). This target of 95% of the average is based on the professionally recognized principle that a
deviation of plus or minus five percent (+1-5%) constitutes a "competitive position" in the labor market.
This is particularly true when total compensation and benefit variations are taken into account. Such
determinations on salary range adjustments would be made on a classification -by -classification basis as
dictated by labor market conditions and the City's ability to pay.
The "target" of 95% of the average prevailing wage rates will be determined by calculating the average
mid -point base pay of the survey cities. The selected pay range will then be reduced by five percent (5%)
in recognition of the City's rich benefits allowance and the principle that +1-5% of the average constitutes
a "competitive position in the labor market. On an annual basis, the non -benchmark to benchmark
linkages will be reviewed.
If a Team Member's base salary is below the adjusted minimum salary range of his/her classification,
his/her salary will be adjusted to the minimum salary range in the range for that classification.
SURVEY CITIES
In order to determine the prevailing salary rates in the local labor market, the following survey cities have
been selected based on a three -fold set of criteria and rationale: 1) contiguous geographic proximity to
Rosemead; 2) full contract city status; and/or a sufficient number of comparable positions. The following
cities will be surveyed on a periodic basis for comparison purposes:
Alhambra
La Mirada
Diamond Bar
La Puente
Duarte
Montebello
El Monte
Monterey Park
Paramount Temple City
Pico Rivera
San Dimas
San Gabriel
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN SALARY RANGE BASED ON JOB PERFORMANCE
The City's pay -for -performance system allows a Team Member to obtain a percentage merit salary
increase consistent with his/her annual performance evaluation. All Team Member salary increases,
within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance evaluations. Based on the
Team Member's performance rating on his/her performance evaluation, a Team Member is eligible for a
merit increase. Team Members eligible for a merit increase will be eligible to receive up to a 5% merit
increase during the term of this agreement.
Team Member salaries may not exceed the maximum salary range within the respective job classification.
Current Team Members whose salaries exceed the maximum salary range for the job classification will be
y -rated (frozen) and will not receive any merit increases until the salary ranges are adjusted based on the
labor market survey comparisons.
The following language, which was contained in prior Resolution's, is not in effect for the 2020-2021
Resolution: Effective July 1, 2014, the salary ranges of all positions that are "topped out" or exceed the
maximum salary range for the classification will be surveyed on an annual basis. All other classifications
will be surveyed bi-annually.
All full-time Team Members are part of the Merit Based Compensation System. All Team Member
salary increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance evaluations.
Based on the Team Member's performance overall rating on the performance evaluation, a Team Member
is eligible for a merit increase. The following is the performance rating categories and percentage
increases that a Team Member may be eligible for based upon funding for FY2020-2021:
Unsatisfactory
0.0-2.4
0%
Needs Development
2.5-2.9
0%
Meets Expectations
3.0-3.9
3%
Exceed Expectations
4.0-4.5
4%
Substantially Exceeds
Expectations
4.6-5.0
5%
The City will provide for merit increases up to 5% for the FY 2020-2021
The City recognizes that a situation may arise in which, as a result of personnel changes at the
supervisory or managerial level, the City Manager determines that there is no currently employed
supervisor or manager who has sufficient basis to evaluate an employee's performance in the prior review
period. In that limited circumstance, the employee will be provided with an increase in the amount of
2.5% of base compensation.
SECTION 3: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
All Team Members will receive an annual performance evaluation. The City recognizes the importance
of conducting timely evaluations. Supervisors, managers, and department directors must submit and
conduct performance evaluations in a timely manner on the date the evaluations are due. Every effort
must be made by the supervisors, managers, and department directors to submit timely evaluations.
However, the City recognizes that when an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance arises, the
expectation is to submit the evaluations as soon as practicable.
Aside from an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance, in the event that a supervisor will not be able to
complete an employee performance evaluation report in a timely manner, the supervisor shall notify the
department director and request a time extension for completion of the performance evaluation report. An
extension of two (2) weeks will be permitted for the supervisor to complete the evaluation. In addition,
the supervisor must inform and notify the respective Team Member if the evaluation will not be
completed on time.
If a Team Member is out on an extended leave of absence, the performance evaluation will be extended
out by the equal amount of time/duration the Team member is out on the leave of absence. An extended
leave of absence is defined as thirty (30) days or longer.
A probationary Team Member will receive an interim performance evaluation at six months from the date
of hire. Interim performance evaluations are not linked to any merit adjustments or increases.

The City contracts with California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) to serve as the
health insurance provider for the City.

towards enrolling in any of the City offered health plans, dental plans, and vision plans.
Any unused remainder can be put into a deferred compensation plan, taken as a taxable cash
disbursement, or used for the purchase of any City sponsored insurance, long-term care, or long-term
saving program. Team Members can also choose to waive coverage and take the entire benefit as
deferred compensation or cash, but must first show proof of group health insurance coverage through an
individual, a spouse or family member's coverage through their employer and complete the Voluntary
Decline of Health Care Offered Under City of Rosemead Group Plan form.
SECTION 6: CHANGES TO THE HEATHCARE LAWS
The parties recognize that certain changes to State or Federal laws, programs, taxes or regulation
including, but not limited to, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), may impact future medical plan offerings.

options, costs or other elements, the City may reopen Section 4,5, and 30 regarding medical
insurance/benefits.

with the City, and who retire from the City, an allocation of up to $1,000/ month will be given to pay for
health care benefits for the duration of their retirement. If the health insurance program selected by the
Team Member costs more than $1,000/month, the City will only cover the first $1,000/month of the cost
of the selected program. Once the Team Member reaches age 65 or becomes eligible for Medicare
coverage, the Team Member will transition to Medicare coverage, with the City picking up the remaining

selected program.
The above retirement health contributions will only be in effect for full-time Team Members employed
with the City as of July 1, 2007. When Team Member reaches 65 years of age, or becomes eligible for
Medicare, said Team Members will transition to Medicare coverage and the City will continue to
contribute towards the cost of health care coverage during the duration of the Team Members retirement
according to the program as defined in Section 5. Furthermore, it is expressly noted that the retirement
health contribution can be used towards health coverage for the Team Member, their spouse, and/or any

Sick leave is not a leave which a Team Member may use at his/her discretion, but is allowed only
in cases of actual sickness or disability which make it impossible or inadvisable for the Team
Member to perform normal work assignments/functions. Sick leave may be utilized for dental or
medical appointments, medical assessments and/or due to a serious illness in. the immediate
family. The City Manager/department director may deny or revoke sick leave if the
incapacitation for which it is taken is caused or substantially aggravated by compensated outside
employment. If a Team Member is absent from work for more than three (3) working days
without notifying his/her direct supervisor or department, the Team Member may be dismissed
from City service for being absent without official leave. Any abuse of sick leave usage is
grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
4. Illness During Vacation Leave: Team Members who become ill while on approved vacation
leave may request from his/her supervisor to have vacation time converted to sick leave.
Verification of illness may be required prior to approval.
5. Notification to Supervisor: Any Team Member needing to be absent because of sickness or other

least one (1) day prior to such absence if circumstances permit, or within one (1) hour before the
start of his/her regular shift when prior notice cannot be given.
6. Sick Leave Authorized Due to Illness in Family: A Team Member is allowed sick leave due to a
serious illness in the immediate family. The definition of "family" defined under the Family and
Medical Leave Act (FMLA) policy will be utilized. In the event of a serious illness in the
immediate family, a certificate of such illness and the need for the Team Member's absence by
the acceptable medical authority may be required by the department director. In such case, the
Team Member must be able to produce a verifying certification upon request by the immediate
supervisor or management.
7. Return to Work Following Illness: The department director may require a Team Member to
submit to a medical and/or psychiatric examination by a physician designated by the City before
permitting the Team Member to return to work after the Team Member has been on sick leave. If
the results of any such examination indicate that the Team Member is unable to perform assigned
duties, or if performance of those duties will expose others to infection, the Team Member will be
placed on sick leave, or leave without pay after all sick leave has been used, until adequate
medical evidence is submitted that the Team Member is competent to perform assigned duties or
will not subject others to the infection.
Medical Certificate Requirement: In order to be paid for sick leave, the Team Member must
make every good faith effort to notify his immediate supervisor prior to the start of the Team
Member's work day. The department director may request, for cause, a certificate issued by a
licenses physician or other satisfactory proof of illness before sick leave is granted. The
department director may also choose a licensed physician to conduct a physical examination at
City expense. Any Team Member who makes application for sick leave may be required by
either the department director or City Manager to file a certificate signed by a duly and regularly
licensed physician authorized to practice medicine or may be required to submit a personal
statement which states the Team Member was incapacitated from performing the duties of the
position for each day that sick leave is requested. Authority will also be given to the physician
signing the certificate, to disclose to the City Manager or the department director, information
relating to sick leave. Sick leave will be granted when the application for sick leave is approved
by the department director or the City Manager.
9. Transfer of Sick Leave: New Team Members may bring with them/transfer up to two hundred
(200) hours of sick leave from their previous employer provided the previous employer did not
otherwise compensate the Team Member for said hours. The new Team Member must provide a
letter or documentation from the previous employer verifying accrued but uncompensated hours.
A Team Member will not receive any payment for unused accumulated sick leave upon dismissal of
employment or retirement (either disability or regular). A Team Member may not use sick leave to
extend a retirement (either disability or regular) or dismissal date. This prohibition does not affect a
Team Member's right to obtain sick leave credit with Ca1PERS. Any other balances or if a Team Member
resigns or is dismissed will be forfeited.
During the term of this Resolution, the City will adopt a sick leave donation policy. The policy is
intended to be adopted in accordance with IRS Revenue Ruling 90-29 and other applicable legal
standards under which employees can donate sick leave to another employee whose own medical
condition, or family member's medical condition, will require the prolonged absence of that other
employee from duty and will result in a substantial loss of income to the employee because the employee
will have exhausted all paid leave available, apart from the donated leave under the plan.
SECTION 21: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
In the event of the death of a Team Member's immediate family (defined as spouse, parent, step-parent,
grandparent, sibling, children, grandchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law,

absence of more than 80 consecutive hours and is not physically present at work to provide bilingual
services.

participate in. However, for non -work related Team Member disabilities, the City offers Short -Term
Disability (STD)/Long-Term Disability (LTD) to full-time Team Members. Workers compensation
injuries are excluded from disability leave/insurance offered by the City.

Medical Leave Act (FMLA) will run concurrently with disability.
The City provides Team Members with a long-term disability plan to protect against cases where a non -
work -related illness or injury is sustained which results in an inability to work for a long period of time.
In these cases, LTD is received only after STD has expired and the Team Member continues to be
medically disabled. Team Members will receive 66.67% or 2/3 of their pre -disability base salary with a
90 day waiting period. Team Member will receive continued payment until the Team Member is
medically able to return to work, or until the Team Member reaches the age of 65, whichever comes first.
