Any employee may be suspended, reduced in salary, demoted, or dismissed for good and sufficient cause provided the employee has received appropriate notification of the proposed disciplinary action and has been provided an opportunity to respond. (b) This Rule does not preclude the use of other forms of less severe discipline that do not require Skelly due process such as verbal or written reprimands. Section 10.1 Level of Discipline (a) When, in the judgment of the appropriate Executive Manager, a Non - Represented Full -Time Hourly or Part -Time employee's work performance or conduct justifies disciplinary action short of demotion or dismissal, the employee may be suspended without pay in any number of full work -day increments up to thirty (30) calendar days at any one time or reduced in pay for up to six (6) consecutive calendar months. (b) When an employee in a Management classification has been determined by the appropriate Executive Manager to have violated workplace conduct rules or committed major safety violations, the Executive Manager may suspend such employee without pay in any number of full work -day increments up to sixty (60) calendar days at any one time. Alternatively, the salary of an FLSA exempt employee found to have violated workplace conduct rules may be reduced, provided that the reduced salary is not below the minimum salary required by applicable law or regulation. Section 10.2 Procedure (a) An employee may be reduced in pay; suspended without pay; demoted; or dismissed upon recommendation by an Administrative Manager or other appropriate supervisor whenever, in the judgment of the appropriate Executive Manager, the employee's work performance or misconduct so warrants.

In the case of employees having equal City seniority, the tie -breaker will be resolved by a random lottery. If the employee whose position has been abolished does not have City seniority over other employees in equivalent or lower classes, the employee may be reassigned by the Executive Manager to any vacant position within the department in an equivalent or lower job class, for which the employee meets the minimum requirements. (1) Employees in Non -Represented Full -Time Hourly job classes who are reassigned shall be placed in the salary step of the appropriate salary range closest to their rate of pay.

Such reinstatement shall be on the basis of City seniority. (2) Employees in Management job classes reassigned to another Management job class shall retain their current merit review date and their current rate of pay if it falls within the salary range of the classification reassigned. Otherwise, their rate of pay will be adjusted to the Control Point of the salary range for the new classification. In no case shall the management employee's rate of pay exceed the Control Point as a result of such reassignment in lieu of layoff. (3) Employees in Management job classes reassigned to a Non -Represented Full -Time Hourly or bargaining unit classification will be placed in the closest salary step of the new job class which does not provide an increase. The employee's base hourly rate will be used in calculating the appropriate rate of pay. (4) Employees in bargaining units job classifications who are reassigned to a management job classification where the salary range Market Point is equal to or less than the top step of the bargaining unit job classification shall retain their current rate of pay provided it falls between the salary 45 range minimum and market points of the management classification. Otherwise, the rate of pay will be adjusted to the Market Point of the salary range. The base hourly rate will be used in calculating the appropriate rate of pay. (b) Whenever an employee, whose position has been abolished cannot be reassigned to a position within the same department, the employee may be reassigned by the City Manager to any vacant position in any other department in the same job class or in an equivalent or lower job class for which the employee meets the minimum qualifications for employment. Employees reassigned to vacant positions in an equivalent or lower job class in any other department shall be reinstated to their former job class and salary step status if positions in their former job class (within their former department) become vacant within one year of reassignment. Such reassignment shall be on the basis of City seniority. (c) An employee who is reassigned in lieu of layoff to a job classification at the same salary range shall retain the same rate of pay and merit review date. (d) Whenever an employee is reassigned to a vacant position in the same class, an equivalent class, or lower class as herein provided, the employee shall retain the same anniversary date for purposes of merit pay increases.

Section 11.2 Reem2lovment (a) Whenever an employee whose position has been abolished is not reassigned to another position, the employee shall be separated from City service and placed on the reemployment list for the job class held at the time the position was abolished. Persons on the reemployment list shall be reemployed with their former salary step status when positions in their job class (within the department from which they were laid off) become vacant. Reemployment shall be on the basis of City seniority. (b) Reemployment lists shall contain the names of regular, full-time employees laid off in good standing for lack of funds. (1) Reemployment lists shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year. Reemployment lists shall not be extended. (c) An employee reinstated from a reemployment list shall be considered to have continuous service and shall be credited with the amount of accumulated sick leave the employee had accrued at the time of layoff if the employee elects to remit to the City any payment received under the provisions of Rule 17 — Sick Leave. 46 Section 11.3 Exemptions (a) The provisions of this Rule shall not apply to employees in classifications designated exempt in accordance with Section 1.2 (b) of these Rules, Non - Represented Part -Time employees, and employees appointed to certain grant - funded and/or limited -term positions as designated by the City Manager under Rule 7.8. 47 RULE 12 REINSTATEMENT Section 12.0 Purpose (a) This Rule establishes provisions that allow the reinstatement of employees who terminated employment in good standing without requiring such employees to re - qualify for employment through a competitive process.
