The MMPC group of employees is unrepresented and therefore does not bargain for terms and conditions of their employment; however, traditionally, the group has received compensation consideration and benefit changes afforded to represented employees within the City. Further, in recognition of the increased responsibilities assigned to these positions and in lieu of paid overtime, additional benefits have been granted to this group of employees. The attached Resolution specifies salary and benefits for the classifications within this group. In addition to various language clean-up and updates, Resolution 2023-49 ("Attachment A") has been updated to reflect key terms as described below. MIDDLE MANAGEMENT. PROFESSIONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL GROUP Opening Section: Applicability — This updated section provides clarifying language regarding the Resolution, updates the list of classifications to remove obsolete positions, and designates remaining positions as either: A) Management or B) Supervisory, Professional, and Confidential.

The languages provided are Spanish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. • Boot Reimbursement — The City offers reimbursement to certain employees for the purchase of qualifying work boots. The amount has been increased from $250/year to $275/year.

For employees hired on or before November 30, 2021, any unused benefit is paid to employees in either taxable cash or deposits to the employee's deferred compensation account. Employees hired after November 30, 2021 are not eligible for cash back of any unused portion of the cafeteria -style benefit, but those who choose to opt -out of medical coverage offered by the City, will receive $500 per month. On November 1, 2021, the City provided an additional $100/month for `out-of-pocket' health costs with no additional cash -back allowance. Beginning July 1, 2023, the City will provide an additional $100/month for `out-of-pocket' health costs with no additional cash -back allowance for a total of $200/month for `out-of-pocket' health costs with no additional cash -back allowance.

The rate of accrual remains unchanged. • Vacation Buy Back — The City currently allows employees to cash -in up to 60 hours available vacation hours once a year in December. The proposed MOU increases the City Council Meeting — MMPC & PT Salary and Benefits — Reso No. 2023-49 and Reso No. 2023-50 September 12, 2023 Page 3 of 4 buyback to 100 hours and allows for two buyback periods in June and December, with a maximum buyback in June of 50 hours and 100 hours in December for a total maximum of 100 hours per calendar year. PART-TIME EMPLOYEES — RESOLUTION No. 2023-50 The City also employs various classifications on a part-time or hourly basis. The employees in these positions work throughout the year, seasonally, or on a temporary basis and typically work no more than 1,000 hours per fiscal year unless exempted from Ca1PERS or assigned to one of the five 3/4 -time positions. Other than the 3/4 -time positions, these employees do not receive benefits except those benefits required by law. Employees authorized at 3/4 -time receive various limited benefits as described within the Resolution ("Attachment B"). All part-time employees are unrepresented and do not bargain for salary and benefits. The changes to the Part -Time Employee Salary and Benefits Resolution are as follows: • Wage Rate — On July 1, 2023, all Part -Time employees will receive a 4% COLA salary increase. The current minimum wage in California is $15.50 and the minimum wage is set to increase to $16.00 on January 1, 2024. The 4% increase will set the lowest wage at $16.12 per hour. July 1, 2024, all Part -Time employees will receive a 3% salary increase. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-49 approving annual salary and benefits for the classifications in the Middle Management, Professional, and Confidential (MMPC) group and Resolution No. 2023-50 approving salary and benefits for part-time employees. FISCAL IMPACT The estimated ongoing incremental annualized cost for terms outlined in the attached Resolution for the Management, Professional, Confidential unit is $136,900 for the first year and an additional $110,800 for the second year. Any appropriations needed for this action will be presented in the Mid -Year Budget Report. The annualized cost of increasing part-time salaries is $63,300 for FY 2023-24. This estimate is based on budgeted part-time salaries rather than actual filled positions so the actual first-year cost could be less depending on the City utilization of part-time staffing resources.

Therefore, this Resolution does not constitute a memorandum of understanding and is not the result of the meet and confer process; rather, this Resolution is designed to provide the Middle Management -Professional -Confidential Group employees with a reference tool regarding term and conditions of their employment as the same are periodically determined by the City Council. Full-time employees in the following classifications are covered by this Resolution: Group A— Middle Management Building Official Planning & Economic Development Manager City Engineer Public Safety Manager Deputy Dir. of Community Development Public Works Fiscal and Project Manager Finance Manager Public Works Manager Human Resources Manager Senior Code Enforcement Officer Group B — Professional & Confidential Accountant Human Resources Analyst Administrative Analyst Management Analyst Administrative Specialist Public Safety Supervisor Associate Engineer Recreation Supervisor Associate Planner Senior Code Enforcement Officer Deputy City Clerk Senior Management Analyst Executive Assistant to the City Manager SECTION 2: SEVERABILITY It is understood that this Resolution is subject to all applicable present and future Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations, and the provisions hereof shall be effective and implemented only to the extent permitted by such laws and regulations. If any part of this Resolution is in conflict with such applicable provisions of Federal, State, or Local laws or regulations or otherwise held to be invalid or unenforceable by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such part of provision shall be suspended and superseded by such applicable laws and regulations and the remainder of this Resolution shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 3: NON-DISCRIMINATION The City will not discriminate against any employee 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, childbirth or related medical condition, genetic information/characteristics, or any other legally protected characteristics. MGMT Resolution Attachment— No 2023-49 Page 13 COMPENSATION SECTION 4: COMPENSATION Year One • Effective July 1, 2023, all employees shall receive an across-the-board increase of four percent (4%). Year Two • Effective July 1, 2024, all employees shall receive an across-the-board increase of three percent (3%). A. Salary Ranges/steps: As reflected in Appendix A, each salary range consists of ten (10) salary steps. Steps are set as a monthly rate, at approximately three percent (3%) intervals, rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Hourly rates shall be determined by multiplying the monthly rate by 12 (months) and dividing by 2080 (hours). B. Salary Advancement: Each employee will be placed within the ten (10) step salary range of their respective position's classification. Pay increases shall not be automatic but shall depend upon the merit and performance of the employee, as determined by the Department Director. The first opportunity for a merit increase would be at the end of the probationary period. Subsequent merit step increase opportunities will occur annually, on the anniversary date of the employee's hire date or transfer to their current position. In rare instances, and for exceptional performance, based on the recommendation of the Department Director, a three percent (3%) additional step salary advancement may be authorized; however, under no circumstances may an employee's base salary exceed the top step of the salary range. Total merit -based increases may not exceed 6% within a 12 -month period. Employees whose anniversary dates occur on July 1, 2023 or later shall have their annual increase paid retroactively to their respective anniversary date for the 2023 annual step increase. D. Salary Placement for New Appointments: The first salary step level will be the minimum rate and normally the hiring rate. In special cases when, in the sole discretion of the Department Director, it is merited by experience, education, training, or other qualification, the City may approve the hiring of a candidate for employment at a higher step. However, no newly appointed person shall be hired above Step 4 without prior approval of the City Manager. E. Performance Evaluation Requirements: Recommendations for a one-step increase, two-step increase, or denied eligibility for a step increase must be accompanied by a performance evaluation to substantiate performance. Performance evaluations for consideration of a step increase shall be due annually based upon the employee's anniversary date of appointment to their current classification. An employee on a leave of absence (paid or unpaid) for more than thirty (30) consecutive workdays in a rating period shall have their annual review date adjusted accordingly. MGMT Resolution Attachment— No 2023-49 Page 14 F. Effective Date of Step Increase: Any recommended step increase will be effective the first day of the pay period immediately following the employee's anniversary or annual review date. No more than one step increase may be granted per performance evaluation period. G. Step Advancement: Advancement from Step 1 through Step 10 will be contingent upon receiving an overall performance rating of "meets expectations" or higher on the performance evaluation. H. Continuing Pay for Performance: Each general employee who has achieved and maintained step 10 of their classification salary range for one (1) full year, will be eligible to receive a one-time lump sum payment for continuing exceptional performance. For purposes of eligibility under this provision, "continuing exceptional performance," means that the employee has earned an overall performance rating of "Substantially Exceeds Expectations" on their annual performance review. The lump sum payment amount will be equal to 3% of the approved step 10 annual rate for the employee's classification in effect at the time of the employee's anniversary date. The City will issue the one-time payment in the next pay period following the employee's receipt of their annual performance evaluation. For each subsequent year in which the employee remains on step 10 of the same classification and demonstrates continuing exceptional performance as defined by this section, the employee will receive a payment under the terms of this section. Each year shall stand alone in determining the employee's eligibility and in determining the amount of the payment. I. Evaluation Appeals: Upon receipt of a performance evaluation, an employee may appeal the results of that evaluation within seven (7) calendar days following the delivery of the evaluation. The performance evaluation shall be appealed in writing to the City Manager who shall provide a written response within fourteen (14) days of the appeal being properly submitted. If the original performance evaluation rating is reaffirmed by the City Manager, then they shall state the reason for the denial of the appeal in the written response to the employee. There shall be no appeal of a performance evaluation beyond the City Manager. The City Manager shall have the discretion to consider all factors including — but not limited to — additional workload assigned during the evaluation period in determining whether the overall rating is appropriate. SECTION S: 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 employee's work, to provide special training, to assist the employee in adjusting to the new position, and to reject any employee whose work performance, adaption, or personal conduct fails to meet required standards. A probationary employee shall have no right of tenure and may be dismissed without cause, at anytime, during the probationary period without right of appeal, grievance, or hearing. Probationary employees do not have property or vested rights in their positions with the City. MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 1 5 All employees 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 an employee is out on an extended leave of absence, the probationary period will be extended out by the equal amount of time/duration the employee is out on the leave of absence. The probationary period for an employee promoted to a higher classification is defined in Section 7 (Promotions). SECTION 6: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION All employees 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 employee if the evaluation will not be completed on time. If an employee is out on an extended leave of absence, the performance evaluation will be extended by the equal amount of time/duration the employee is out on the leave of absence. An extended leave of absence is defined as thirty (30) days or longer. A probationary employee 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 7: PROMOTIONS The City may promote any employee to a different job classification within the City service having more responsible duties, and/or higher job qualifications, and/or a higher salary scale level. Upon promotion any employee shall receive a minimum salary increase equivalent to one (1) salary step in the employee's current (pre -promotional) job classification, provided however that such increase shall be at least equivalent to the minimum of the salary scale established for the new job classification. A promotion shall establish a new Evaluation Date for purposes of performance evaluation. Employees promoted to a higher position shall also serve a six (6) month (1040 hours) MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 16 promotional probationary period beginning on the effective date of the promotion. Any regular employee rejected -during the probationary period following a promotional appointment, by reason of failure to satisfactorily complete the probationary period shall be reinstated to the position from which the employee was promoted unless there is a basis for dismissing the employee for just cause. Promotional probationary employees shall have no tenured rights to appeal such actions. Dismissal from City employment during the promotional probationary period may be made for just cause in accordance with City policy 30-21 (Corrective Action). If an employee had not attained regular status in the class to which the employee reinstates, the employee shall then be required to complete the normal probationary period, less any service previously accrued in such lower class. SECTION 8: RECLASSIFICATIONS The City may reclassify any position within City service as provided below and in accordance with the criteria in the City's Employer -Employee Relations Resolution and the Fair Labor Standards Act. A. Reclassification Defined. A reclassification is a change in job description and/or job title of a position within the City service to accommodate materially changed job duties not anticipated in the original classification and assigned or directed to be performed by the City. Such changed duties do not include duties voluntarily assumed by, and not assigned to, an employee or temporary duties assigned for purposes of training for the employee. B. Impact of Reclassification. Position reclassification is neither a promotion nor demotion. A reclassification may result in the salary range being increased, decreased, or staying the same. Typically, an employee will be placed on the step that includes the salary rate closest to his/her current salary rate, not to exceed the top of the salary range. The salary rate may be increased at the time of the reclassification at the discretion of the City. If the salary range is decreased as a result of the reclassification, the employee may be Y - rated at the discretion of the City. A reclassification shall not alter an employee's Evaluation Date. C. Employee Request for Classification Study. An employee may request a classification study by submitting a written statement to the Department Director through the employee's immediate supervisor and chain of command detailing the reasons for said request. The Department Director shall review, comment, and forward the request to Human Resources within 30 days of receiving the request. If the Department Director does not forward the request to Human Resources within 30 days, the employee may then submit the request directly to Human Resources. Human Resources shall make the determination alto classification study need and so inform the Department and employee of said determination. The employee may appeal the determination to the City Manager within ten (10) working days from receipt of notification. The City Manager's decision shall be the final determination. In the event a classification study is undertaken, final reclassification determination shall be made by the Human Resources Manager. MGMT Resolution Attachment— No 2023-49 Page 17 SECTION 9: ACTING PAY The City may, at its discretion, appoint an employee in an acting capacity to fill a position vacant due to separation, extended illness, or extended leave in a job classification higher than the one held by the employee. The selection of an employee for an acting assignment shall be at the sole discretion of the Department Director or designee, taking into consideration the requirements of the position to be filled and the qualifications, job performance, and seniority of those employees eligible for the acting assignment. The selected employee must, however, possess the minimum qualifications established for higher classification. An employee serving an acting assignment for a minimum of eight (8) continuous workdays shall receive acting pay in the amount of a salary increase that is the higher of five percent (5%) of the employee's base salary or the first step of the salary range applicable to the position being filled, paid retroactive to the first day of the acting assignment. An employee who is serving an acting assignment for less than eight(8) continuous workdays shall not receive acting pay. No employee may serve an acting assignment for more than 960 hours per fiscal year. SECTION 10: BILINGUAL PAY The City offers a bilingual pay program for eligible employees who consistently utilize other languages to translate during the normal course of work. To qualify, employees must pass the test developed or utilized by the City for the following recognized languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, American Sign Language, or any other language determined by the City Manager. A maximum of fifteen (15) employees 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 fifteen (15) employees wish to apply for it, management will determine the top fifteen (15) based upon positional need. Once certified, employees will receive a bilingual stipend of $100 per month. Any employee who is not certified by the City is not required to use a language otherthan English. However, when a member of the public, requests assistance in a language other than English, our employees 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 employee is out on an extended leave of absence of more than 80 consecutive hours and/or is otherwise not physically present at work to provide bilingual services. SECTION 11: AUTO ALLOWANCE Group A employees may receive up to $250 per month for the use of their personal vehicles for City business and further based on the driving demands of the positions as recommended by the Department Director and approved by the City Manager. Employees who receive a car allowance may not receive mileage reimbursement.

Any employee reimbursed for or issued protective footwear shall wear such shoes at all times during work hours. The City may authorize direct bill payment for shoes purchased at a vendor of the City's choice or the employee may request reimbursement up to the allowed amount. If the employee purchases shoes for an amount (including tax) greater than the annual limit provided herein, the employee shall pay the difference to the vendor at the time of purchase.

LEAVES SECTION 31: VACATION ACCRUAL AND ACCRUAL CAP Full-time employees will receive vacation accruals as follows: Vacation Accumulation Years of Service Hours/Pay Period Hours/Year Maximum Accumulated Days/Year Hours Up to year 1 3.85 100 10 Year 1 —Year 9 5.38 140 14 280 9+ 6.15 160 16 320 MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 1 14 All full-time employees accrue 100 hours of vacation leave during their first year of service. One hundred forty (140) hours are accrued for employees with one year of service, up to (but not over) 9 years. For employees with over 9 years of service (9+) the accrual rate is 160 hours. Employees cease to accrue vacation hours when, in any pay period, their balance exceeds two times their annual accrual as determined by their anniversary date. All vacation requests are to be pre -approved by the Department Director. Negative vacation banks or borrowing from future accruals will not be allowed except under provisions of Section 34C. All full-time employees are entitled to a paid vacation following one year of employment. Employees 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. Example 1: An employee (with 1-9 years of service) who works 80 hours on paid status per pay period will accrue 5.38 hours/pay period. An employee (with 1-9 years of service) who works 40 hours on paid Example 2: status per pay period will accrue 2.69 hours/pay period (50% of 5.38 hours/pay period). An employee (with 1-9 years of service) who has a zero -leave Example 3: balance and takes an extended leave of absence will not accrue any hours. On July 1, 2011, the City established two (2) vacation banks as follows: Bank A: Vacation earned/accrued prior to June 30, 2011. Bank B: Vacation earned/accrued after July 1, 2011 (Subject to a 2 -year cap). SECTION 32: VACATION BUYBACK In order to encourage employees to take regular vacations on an annual basis and to partially limit the growth of the City's long-term liability of employee accrued vacation hours upon separation of employment, the City has established the following criteria for vacation buyback. A. Twice per calendar year, full-time employees are eligible to have the City buyback up to 100 combined hours of accumulated unused vacation time in June and/or December of the following calendar year. Effective December 10, 2023, and continuing thereafter, employees seeking buyback must submit an irrevocable election form, by no later than December 1011 of the preceding calendar year. With this form, employees can seek buyback of accumulated unused vacation time in the following calendar year subject to the following terms: 1. The employee may seek buyback of up to 50 hours in June. Employees receiving such June buyback may seek an additional buyback in December. Total maximum buyback for any calendar year will be limited to 100 hours. 2. Employees seeking only a December buyback may receive up to 100 hours. MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 115 B. The payment shall be made via payroll with the last paycheck in the following June and/or December after receipt of the irrevocable election form. In the event an employee has less hours in their vacation bank at the time the cash -out is to be paid than they had previously elected to cash -out, the employee shall only be paid for up to the amount remaining in their vacation bank at the time of the actual cash -out. Employees who do not submit an irrevocable election form by December 10th will be deemed as foregoing participation in the optional annual leave buy-back program for that following calendar year. The buyback in June and/or December may not reduce the vacation leave balance below the equivalent of one year's accrual. C. For the purposes of vacation buyback, all employees must utilize Bank A prior to utilizing Bank B. However, if there are no hours accrued in Bank A, employees may utilize Bank B. D. An employee who experiences an unforeseeable emergency may be permitted to make a new irrevocable election and/orto increase the amount of the previous election, subject to the same value that was permitted at the time the annual irrevocable election forms were due. For these purposes, an "unforeseeable emergency" means a financial hardship to the employee resulting from any of the following: • Accident, illness, injury or death of the employee or an immediate family member. For this purpose, an "immediate family member" is restricted to a spouse, registered domestic partner, child/legal dependent, or parent; or ■ Loss or extensive damage to the employee's property due to casualty; or Other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising from events beyond the control of the participant. Whether an occurrence is an unforeseeable emergency shall be solely determined by the City Manager or designee, but requests made under this provision shall not be unreasonably denied. The payment shall be made with the last paycheck in December of that same calendar year. E. If it is subsequently determined by the City, the IRS, a court of competent jurisdiction or another governing authority that the annual buyback provisions in place prior to December 10, 2021, or substantially similar, will not trigger constructive receipt of income from accrued leave, the City will remove the irrevocable election process. F. All buybacks shall be paid at the employee's base hourly rate of pay at the time of the payment. SECTION 33: ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE Each January 1, employees will be allocated 60 hours of administrative leave for the calendar year. Any administrative leave hours that are not utilized by December 31 will be forfeited. Furthermore, any administrative leave on the books for a separating employee will be paid at the employee's hourly rate at a prorated unit of administrative leave available by pay period. MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 1 16 SECTION 34: SICK LEAVE A full-time employee who is incapacitated from the performance of such employee'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), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), or other state or federal laws are eligible for sick leave. A. Amount Earned: All full-time, regular, or probationary employees 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 employee, and accrued on a bi-weekly basis. Employees 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: An employee who works 80 hours on paid status per pay period will accrue 4.62 hours/pay period. An employee who works 40 hours on paid status per pay Example 2: period will accrue 2.31 hour/pay period (50% of 4.62 hours/pay period). An employee 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 an employee separates from employment, voluntarily or involuntary. Upon retirement, an employee's unused sick leave hours will be converted to service credit as contracted with CaIPERS. B. Sick Leave Cap: Accrued sick leave is capped at 500 hours for employees hired after November 30, 2021. C. Advanced Sick Leave: Sick leave time shall not be taken until such time has been accrued. D. Utilization of Sick Leave Benefits: The right to utilize benefits under the sick leave provisions herein continues only during the period that the employee is employed by the City. All benefits hereunder terminate upon the employee leaving City service. An employee on military leave is not granted sick leave during the military leave period. Employees are not eligible to utilize sick leave benefits within the first thirty (30) days of employment. Sick leave is not a leave which an employee 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 employee 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 an employee is absent from work for more than three (3) working days without notifying his/her direct supervisor or department director, the employee 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. MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 1 17 E. Illness During Vacation Leave: Employees who become ill while on approved vacation leave may request to use available sick leave in lieu of the approved vacation time for the period of illness. Verification of illness may be required by the employee's supervisor or department director prior to approval. F. Notification to Supervisor: Any employee 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 the regular shift when prior notice cannot be given. G. Sick Leave Authorized Due to Illness in Family: An employee 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 employee's absence by the acceptable medical authority may be required by the department director. In such case, the employee must be able to produce a verifying certification upon request by the immediate supervisor or management. H. Return to Work Following Illness: The department director may require an employee to submit to a medical and/or psychiatric examination by a physician designated by the City before permitting the employee to return to work after the employee has been on sick leave. If the results of any such examination indicate that the employee is unable to perform assigned duties, or if performance of those duties will expose others to infection, the employee 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 employee is competent to perform assigned duties or will not subject others to the infection. I. Medical Certificate Requirement: In order to be paid for sick leave, the employee must make every good faith effort to notify his immediate supervisor prior to the start of the employee's workday. 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 employee 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 employee 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. Transfer of Sick Leave: New employees may be credited up to two hundred (200) hours of sick leave from their previous public agency employer provided the previous employer did not otherwise compensate the employee for said hours. The new employee must provide a letter or documentation from the previous employer verifying accrued but uncompensated hours. MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2023-49 Page 1 18 K. Sick Leave for Separating Employees: An employee will not receive any payment for unused accumulated sick leave upon dismissal of employment or retirement (either disability or regular). An employee may not use sick leave to extend a retirement (either disability or regular) or dismissal date. This prohibition does not affect an employee's right to obtain sick leave credit with CaIPERS. Any other balances or if an employee resigns or is dismissed will be forfeited.
