This ordinance repeals the requirement that an employee in a city laborer position work 2,080 hours before being eligible for certain benefits.
This ordinance also makes changes to the accumulation and administration of special incentive leave time by a noncivilian management employee of the fire department.

e. “Limited-benefit employee” means any employee in a position which is authorized by the common council to work for less than 21 hours a week on an annual basis [[or a person with the position of city laborer who has not completed 2,080 hours of work]].
Part 2. Section 350-37-15-c of the code is amended to read:

c. Special incentive leave time shall be added to the vacation leave account of the employee as it is earned.

The employee may elect to take cash in lieu of time-off[[, except a noncivilian management employee of the fire department who shall take all earned leave in cash]].
Part 3. Section 350-37-15-g of the code is created to read:
g. Effective trimester 1, 2021, a noncivilian management employee in the fire department, working a 40-hour work week or 53-hour work week, shall be eligible to accrue up to a maximum of 48 hours of special incentive leave into a separate special incentive leave account. An employee working a 40-hour work week shall earn 8 hours of special incentive leave per trimester for which it is earned. An employee working a 53-hour work week shall earn 16 hours of special incentive leave per trimester for which it is earned. If an employee has reached the maximum accrual allowed of special incentive leave the employee shall be paid in cash for any additional special incentive leave earned.
