8.f)1) Amendment to Personnel Policy Meeting Date: 10/19/2010 Agenda Item: � �� � City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209`" St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Consider an amendment to the city's Personnel Policy, Section 6 (d), which provides for clothing and footwear allowance for Public Works employees. Deadline/Timeline: N/A Background: • Full-time Public Works employees currently receive up to $150 per year reimbursement for the purchase of work-related footwear and clothing. This allowance has not been raised for many years. • Appropriate clothing is an important safety factor for these workers. Safety footwear is required. Other work clothing is also subject to heavy wear and tear because of the nature of their jobs. • No allowance is currently provided for part-time employees,but these workers also must have safety footwear and appropriate clothing. • The current policy requires that reimbursements be requested by July 1 of each year. This was carried over from the old Township personnel policy. There does not seem to be a business need for this policy. Changing the date to December 1 would allow more flexibility for the employee to purchase the clothing when needed. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council adopt the resolution which would amend the Personnel Policy to double the clothing allowance for full- time employees from $150 to $300 per year, and add a$150 allowance for regular(year-round) part-time employees. (This would apply to the part-time position proposed for the 2011 budget.) The amendment also changes the deadline for submitting reimbursement requests from July 1 to December 1.
