PArF 1-(1.-- 3 <br /> Sheriff' s Department and EMS. Based on full <br /> staffing on holidays and the actual cost of time <br /> off, the savings is estimated to be $50,000 to <br /> $75,000. The savings is realized from reduced cost <br /> for overtime and temporary wages. <br /> There is an exception requested to the above proposal <br /> for the Public Works department. Public Works has a <br /> long standing practice of paying an employee who works <br /> on a holiday for all of the compensation earned and <br /> not providing time off. If a Public Works employee <br /> works eight hours on a holiday, he or she receives pay <br /> for the full 20 hours of compensation earned rather <br /> than receiving 12 hours as pay and eight hours as time <br /> off. <br /> To provide a transition period for affected Public <br /> Works employees to the new policy and also to provide <br /> time to implement alternatives to requiring that the <br /> affected employees work on holidays, it is proposed <br /> that Public Works continue under the current policy <br /> until January 1, 1994 and at that time implement the <br /> revised holiday pay policy. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board adopt the <br /> Attachment 1 revision to the Personnel Ordinance <br /> effective January 1, 1993 with the transition period <br /> until January 1, 1994 for Public Works employees. <br /> • <br />
