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.

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.
Fixed -Term
Fixed -Term is an appointment of an employee to an allocated and Fixed -Term
position with an excepted end date. Fixed -Term positions are established due to limits
on grant funding or other known limits to the position's duration. 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.

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 calendar year or 1250
hours in a calendar year if employed in a 24-hour operation.
Department Heads or designee have the authority to make temporary appointments
provided there are sufficient funds in the department. Temporary employees do not
receive City benefits except as required by law (i.e. participation in a qualified
retirement system, Public Agency Retirement Services). 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 Temgorary Appointment:
Appointment to one of the temporary job classifications listed in this resolution
for a specific purpose that is of temporary nature and under 1,000 hours per
calendar year (or 1,250 hours if in a position that needs to be staffed 24 hours
per day (Police Communications Dispatcher, Police Records &
Communications Specialist) (or 960 hours in a fiscal year if a retiree).
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. Emerciencv 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 may not work more than 1,000 hours in a calendar year or 1250
hours in a calendar year if employed in a 24-hour operation and are typically
on a list to be called when needed. Per Diem temporary appointments are
made to one on the temporary classifications listed in this resolution.
SALARY AND CLASSIFICATION
It is the intent of the City of San Rafael to compensate Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree and
Fixed -Term employees at a rate of pay similar to that of regular employees performing
like work. Employees covered by this resolution may not work more than 1,000 hours in a
calendar year unless they work in Police or Fire in a position that is staffed 24 hours per
day. Employees covered by this resolution in these positions (dispatch and police
records) may work up to 1250 hours in a calendar year. However, if they are retirees
under the 1937 Retirement Act, they may not exceed the 960 hours per fiscal year. If an
employee reaches the 1,000 hours, the employee will not be eligible to work for the City
for a minimum of 90 calendar days unless special approval is made by the City Manager.
Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree, and Fixed -Term employees who are non-exempt are
eligible to receive overtime pay in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Overtime is paid when the temp/seasonal employee works in excess of 40 hours per
week. The week period is defined as Sunday at 12:01 am to the following Saturday at
11:59pm.

of a retirement plan. Participation in a retirement plan is mandated by Federal Law and San

retirement plan and the City contributes the same amount. Contributions are tax deferred.

benefits package to include health and dental insurance on a pro -rated basis up to a
maximum of $600 per month, five (5) sick days per year and ten (10) vacation days per
year. Upon termination, any accrued vacation leave will be paid out to the employee, but
