SUBJECT: Resolution: Revision to Civil Service Administrative Code
• The attached revision to the Civil Service Administrative Code is necessary as a
result of an agreement reached with the General Employees Union during
negotiations.
The Union argued that the "sick leave incentive" has consistently been misused
resulting in inaccurate accounting of sick hours. (Some employees would refrain
from reporting sick time in order to "earn" a day off, while others were penalized
for correctly reporting their time). The City and the Union agreed to eliminate
the sick leave incentive and replace it with a third "personal day".
The revision to the Civil Service code is needed to ensure policy consistency for
union and non-Union employees. Without this revision, there is nothing to
prevent non union members from "double dipping", earning a third personal day
AND a sick leave incentive.
