SALARY AND BENEFIT PLAN
DEFINITION
Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree, and Fixed -Term employees serve important roles in supporting City
business. These positions perform job duties and provide city services that are outside of the regular
classified services. All positions covered by this resolution are at -will and as such serve at the pleasure
of the appointing authority and may be removed at any time without cause and without right of appeal.
Temporary, Seasonal, or Fixed -Term employees who wish to secure a regular position with the City
must compete in the applicable recruitment and examination process for any such regular position.
Seasonal
Seasonal is defined as those employees who perform specific job responsibilities that are for a
specific period of time. The period is typically for a period of four (4) months or less. Seasonal
employees often work in recreation or park programs. Seasonal employees may work a maximum
of 1000 hours in a fiscal year.
Retiree
Retirees who return to fill temporary or seasonal positions may work a maximum of 960 hours per
fiscal year. Once the retiree employee reaches 960 hours in a fiscal year, he/she shall no longer
be eligible to work for the City until the next fiscal year.
Temporary.
Temporary positions do not have the same title as classified City positions (those covered by a City
MOU) and may not exceed 1,000 hours in a fiscal year.
The Department Director or designee has the authority to make temporary appointments provided
there are sufficient funds in the department budget. Temporary appointments are typically made to
meet short-term employment needs such as peak workload, illness, vacations of full time
employees, or pending the establishment of a new eligibility list.
There are four types of Temporary Appointments:
A. Standard Temporary Appointment:
Appointment to one of the temporary job classifications listed in this resolution for a
specific purpose that is of temporary nature.
B. Special Appointment: Special temporary appointments to perform work outside an
existing City classification and for which no temporary job classification exists may be
made under special circumstances, when the individual has a unique combination of
expertise, background and skills and is needed to help the department respond to a priority
work issue.
C. Emerqencv Appointment: Temporary appointment of an employee to prevent stoppage
of public business, loss of life, or damage to persons or property, or when qualified
personnel cannot be readily obtained due to emergency conditions. An employee
appointed in this category need not meet the minimum qualifications of the job.
D. Per Diem: Per Diem is defined as those temporary employees who are not regularly
scheduled to work but serve in an as -needed capacity. Per Diem employees are typically
on a list to be called when needed. Per Diem temporary appointments are made to one of
the temporary classifications listed in this resolution.
Fixed -Term
Fixed -Term is an appointment of an employee to an allocated and Fixed -Term position with an
expected end date. Fixed -Term positions are established due to limits on grant funding or other known
limits to the position's duration, and are not subject to the 1,000 hour per year limit on working hours.
Employees appointed to Fixed -Term appointments must accept the position with the understanding
that continued appointment is contingent upon grant funds and job performance. Fixed -Term
appointments may be made for up to a three year period and may be extended by approval of the City
Manager.
