Analysis

This ordinance makes several changes to the benefits given to management and non-management/non-represented city employes.  These changes parallel those given to certain represented employes in recently-completed labor agreements.

 

These changes are:

 

1.  Effective January 1, 2002, the inclusion of domestic partners in the definition of "immediate family" used for determining eligibility for funeral leave.  Employes wishing to have their domestic partnership recognized for this purpose must register as domestic partners with the city clerk's office pursuant to  ch. 111 of the code.

 

2.  Effective pay period one, 2001, a decrease in the amount of time an employe must be in city service before becoming eligible for additional vacation benefits.  To wit:

A.                     After 4 years of service, employes will earn 5.3 vacation hours per pay period or 17 days per year (currently 6 years).

B.                     After 9 years of service, employes will earn 6.8 vacation hours per pay period or 22 days per year (currently 11 years).

C.                     After 16 years of service, employes will earn 8.4 vacation hours per pay period or 27 days per year (currently 17 years).

D.                     In addition, after 21 years of service, employes will earn 9.3 vacation hours per pay period or 30 days per year (no current equivalent).

 

3.  Effective pay period one, 2002, a further decrease in the amount of time an employe must be in city service before becoming eligible for additional vacation benefits and an increase in the number of vacation days earned by those employes who have completed 21 years of service, to wit:

A.                     After 14 years of service, employes will earn 8.4 vacation hours per pay period or 27 days per year (16 years during 2001).

B.                     After 21 years of service, employes will earn 9.9 vacation hours per pay period or 32 days per year (9.3 vacation hours per pay period during 2001).

 

4.  For employes affected by the vacation adjustments in #2 & 3 above, an increase in the maximum amount of vacation time an employe is allowed to maintain in his or her account.

 

5.  Effective pay period 17, 2001, an increase in the shift differential paid to eligible employes.  The differentials are as follows:

A.                     Second shift: $0.40 per hour (currently $0.28).

B.                     Third shift: $0.45 per hour (currently $0.33).

C.                     Saturday shift:  $0.50 per hour (currently $0.35).

D.                     Sunday shift:  $0.60 per hour (currently $0.45).

E.                     Holiday shift:  $0.60 per hour (currently $0.45).
