SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Management Services
Prepared by: Deirdre Dolan, HR Director City Manager Approval:;,. .,. ..
TOPIC: REVISE SALARY AND BENEFIT PLAN FOR TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 13766, AND ADOPTING A
REVISED TEMPORARY, SEASONAL, RETIREE, AND FIXED -TERM EMPLOYEES SALARY
AND BENEFIT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution to revise the Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree, and Fixed -Term Employees
Salary and Benefit Plan by rescinding Resolution Number 13766 adopted by the City Council on
July 7, 2014, and approve a new Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree, and Fixed -Term Employees
Salary and Benefit Plan to 1) comply with California's New Paid Sick Leave Law (AB 1522)
effective July 1, 2015, 2) authorize the City Manager to adjust the compensation paid to such
employees in future fiscal years to a rate of pay similar to that of regular or comparable
employees performing like work, provided such adjustment is fiscally prudent, and 3) increase
the rate of pay for two temporary police department positions to a rate of pay similar to that of
the regular employee rate of pay for like positions.
BACKGROUND:
Paid Sick Leave for Temporary Employees
California's new Paid Sick Leave Law (AB 1522) goes into effect July 1, 2015. Under AB 1522,
an employee who, on or after July 1, 2015, works in California for 30 or more days within a year
from the beginning of employment, is entitled to paid sick leave up to a minimum of 3 days in a
12 -month period. Accrual begins on the first day of employment or July 1, 2015, whichever is
later. Employees covered by qualifying collective bargaining agreements are exempt from this
law provided they are already receiving the minimum required sick leave benefit.
Adiustments to Compensation for Temporary Employees
On July 6, 2009, the Council adopted Resolution Number 12779 which amended the
compensation for Part -Time, Temporary, Seasonal and Fixed -Term Employees to provide for
CPI adjustments in the salary schedule for such employees in future fiscal years, if it is

financially prudent to do so as determined by the City Manager based upon projected budget
conditions.
On July 7, 2014 the Council adopted Resolution Number 13766 which rescinded prior
resolutions and amended the compensation for Part -Time, Temporary, Seasonal and Fixed
Term Employees to comply with the increase in the State minimum wage effective July 1, 2014.
In rescinding the prior resolutions, this resolution inadvertently omitted the provision for CPI
adjustments in the salary schedule for future fiscal years.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed new Salary and Benefit Plan, set forth in Exhibit "A" attached to the proposed
Resolution, provides for paid sick leave for temporary employees in accordance with AB 1522,
and includes a reference to the City's new Paid Sick Time Policy that pertains to employees
covered under this plan.
In addition, as stated in the Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree or Fixed -Term Employees Salary
and Benefit Plan, 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. The current Salary and Benefit Plan document, however, does not
include criteria for adjusting the salary schedule. Also, aside from adjusting the entry level rate
of pay for two classifications to meet minimum wage requirements in 2014, no adjustments
have been made to the salary schedule for temporary employees since 2008. As a result, the
rate of pay for two temporary positions in the Police Department (Police Dispatcher and Police
Records Specialist) needs to be adjusted to remain similar to the rate of pay for the associated
regular positions. No other temporary positions are anticipated to require a compensation
adjustment at this time.
Therefore, in addition to meeting the requirements of California's New Paid Sick Leave Law (AB
1522), the proposed Resolution enables the City Manager to adjust the compensation of such
temporary employees to a rate of pay similar to that of regular or comparable employees
performing like work, if financially prudent to do so, and includes an increase to the hourly rate
for two temporary positions in the Police Department (Police Dispatcher and Police Records
Specialist) to an amount comparable to the rate of pay of regular employees in similar positions.
Lastly, minor edits have been made to the Salary and Benefit Plan to correct job titles and
improve the description of information in the document.
The prior resolution on the Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree, and Fixed -Term Employees Salary
and Benefit Plan needs to be rescinded to establish a revised Salary and Benefit Plan for such
employees.
FISCAL IMPACT: The potential cost and impact on specific funds for implementing the new
Paid Sick Leave law is currently uncertain. The highest concentration of affected employees is
in Community Services for support of its recreation programs, and the Recreation Fund is
therefore anticipated to experience the greatest impact. As we implement the new policy actual
costs will be monitored for future budgeting implications. The fiscal impact for the hourly rate
increase for temporary employees will be minimal as there are only two part-time seasonal
employees in the Police Dispatcher and/or Records Specialist positions who provide on-call
services as needed.

EXHIBIT A
TEMPORARY, SEASONAL, RETIREE OR FIXED -TERM EMPLOYEES
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. Emergency 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.
SALARY. BENEFITS. WORK HOURS. AND CLASSIFICATION
SalaN
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. The hourly rate is
based upon the level of duties performed. The attached Temporary/Seasonal/Retiree/Fixed-Term
Salary Schedule lists the hourly rates of pay for each position.
Effective July 1 of each fiscal year, such Salary Schedule may be adjusted by the City Manager to a
rate of pay similar to that of regular or comparable employees performing like work, provided that the
City Manager has made a determination that the salary schedule adjustment will be fiscally prudent
under projected budget conditions. Such compensation may also be adjusted as necessary to comply
with State Minimum Wage requirements.
Benefits
Temporary, Seasonal, and Retiree employees do not receive benefits with the exception of a
retirement plan. Participation in a retirement plan is mandated by Federal Law and San Rafael enrolls
hourly employees in the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS). Under PARS, employees covered
by this resolution contribute 3.75% of their salary to the retirement plan and the City contributes the
same amount. Contributions are tax-deferred. Retiree employees do not participate in PARS.
Fixed -Term employees also participate in the PARS retirement plan, and in addition receive the
following basic benefits package: health and dental insurance on a pro -rated basis up to a maximum of
$600 per month and ten (10) vacation days per year. Upon termination, any accrued vacation leave
will be paid out to the employee.
Paid Sick Leave
Temporary, Seasonal, Retiree and Fixed -Term employees are entitled to sick leave in accordance with
California's Paid Sick Leave Law (AB 1522) as outlined in the City's Paid Sick Time Policy.
Hours Worked
Temporary and Seasonal employees covered by this resolution may not work more than 1,000 hours in
a fiscal year, unless they work in Police or Fire in a position that is staffed 24 hours per day.
Employees in these positions (dispatch and police records) may work up to 1,250 hours in a calendar
year. Retirees under the 1937 Retirement Act working in any positions may not exceed the 960 hours
per fiscal year limit. Fixed term employees are not subject to the 1,000 hour per fiscal year limit.
Work Week and Overtime
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

Appointment to one of the temporary job classifications listed in this resolution for a

ofe the temporary classifications listed in this resolution.
