Page 5 of 8 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org to 24 months after layoff. Casual, contract and term-funded positions must be separated before a regular employee and cannot be rehired until the reemployment list is exhausted. PERSONNEL FILES AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS The Addendum provides that term-funded and contract employees will be evaluated once every 12 months of continuous service. PROMOTION AND APPOINTMENTS The Addendum provides that all appointments shall be selected from all candidates on the eligible list who are ready and willing to accept the position offered, rather than limited to the rule of the first three. PAY PRACTICES The Addendum clarifies that regular and term-funded employees are subject to cost-of-living adjustments. This is the current status quo arrangement. Upon hire, contract employees will be assigned, at the sole discretion of the hiring manager, to an hourly wage for the assigned class code (e.g., Office Clerical Level I, Skilled Craft, etc.) that most closely aligns with the starting step of the salary range for the regular classification with the same job duties. Contract employees are not eligible for cost-of-living adjustments or equity increases. Full-time contract employees who receive a satisfactory performance evaluation after 12 months of continuous service will receive a five percent (5%) base salary increase, not to exceed the top of the salary range. Such increase will be prorated for part-time contract employees. Salary range increases will be at City’s sole discretion. Contract employee wages will be within the pay range of an equivalent, regular SEIU-represented position. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The Addendum provides that contract employees may bring grievances up to Step 4, whereas the City Manager’s decision will be final and binding. CONTRACT EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Article 32 of the Addendum provides that contract employees are not eligible for many of the rights and benefits provided to probationary, regular and term-funded employees as listed. In lieu of the benefits otherwise provided by the MOU, contract employees receive one of four benefit packages. The applicable benefits package will be assigned by Human Resources at the time of hire. The specific benefits package that the employee receives will be identified by the City in writing in its offer of employment. Following completion of each twelve (12) months of full-time employment and satisfactory evaluation, the contract employee will move to the next higher benefit level, not to exceed the Level IV benefit package. The Level I-IV benefits package descriptions replace those listed in Appendices C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 of the Side Letter between the parties dated December 5, 2007. 8.E. - Page 5 of 31 42
