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. Persons 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:
- After 4 years of service, employes will earn 5.3 vacation hours per pay period (currently 6 years).
- After 9 years of service, employes will earn 6.8 vacation hours per pay period (currently 11 years).
- After 16 years of service, employes will earn 8.4 vacation hours per pay period (currently 17 years).
- In addition, after 24 years of service, employes will earn 9.3 vacation hours per pay period (no current equivalent).
3. Effective pay period 11, 2001, an increase in the shift differential paid to eligible employes. The differentials are as follows:
- Second shift: $0.40 per hour.
- Third shift: $0.45 per hour.
- Saturday shift: $0.50 per hour.
- Sunday shift: $0.60 per hour.
- Holiday shift: $0.60 per hour.
