GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT EXEMPT EMPLOYMENT
Exempt employees serve at the will of the appointing authority, and as
such, they may be discharged, suspended or otherwise disciplined without cause.
Exempt employees have no property interest in their employment, and any
procedural benefit or other prerogative extended to them by their appointing
authority is not intended to create and does not create any such property interest.
No officer or employee of the City may make to any other officer or
employee any representation of a property interest in employment which does not
correspond to Charter provisions unless the City Council, by ordinance, permits such
representation.
No unauthorized representation can serve as the basis of an employee’s
reliance on, or expectation of, a property interest.
FOR EXEMPT
EMPLOYEES SEEKING TO BECOME CIVIL SERVICE
EMPLOYEES
There is no protective leave for an exempt employee appointed to a civil
service position. Upon receiving a civil service appointment and passing
probation, the former exempt employee will be subject to the Civil Service provisions
described in Article X of the City Charter. Upon appointment, the civil service employee will
begin to accrue displacement and layoff seniority on the first day of his/her civil
service appointment and may file for promotional examinations for which s/he qualifies. A full
or half-time exempt
employee appointed to a full or half-time civil service position
continues to: contribute to the Retirement System; accrue vacation time; accrue sick time; receive
anniversary date salary increases; and, receive health and dental benefits identical
to those received in the civil
service position.
