Vision Principle: Efficient, Responsive Government. Background: • The City's Classification and Pay Plan limits the hours worked for part-time City employees to an average of 24 hours per work week. Departments that require additional hours need to get permission from the Director of Human Resources and additional hours shall not exceed 29 total hours per work week. • Part-time employment is set forth in Section 3 (C) of the City's Classification and Pay Plan. Discussion: • A position is defined as part-time when the work schedule is less than 24 hours per work week, and the funds are paid from a budget line identified as part-time funds. • The City changed its part-time definition on July 1, 2013 for the purpose of complying with the Affordable Care Act. • This change will allow departments to staff their part-time employees to meet the needs of their department. Financial Impact: • For part-time employees who average 30 or more hours per work week, they are considered full-time employees only for the purpose of the Affordable Care Act, and the City would have to offer health insurance to said employees. Recommended Action: • Adoption of the attached ordinance. Vision Principle: Effective, Responsive Government. Next Steps Following Council Action: • The ordinance will be updated to reflect the new change. Motion by Mr. Moody, and seconded by Ms. Psimas, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: "ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3c OF THE CITY'S CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN PERTAINING TO PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT." Ayes: Cherry, Edmonds, Moody, Psimas, Randall, Wright Nays: None
