An employee needs the prior approval of his or her immediate supervisor or Department Head before working overtime. Overtime work required to meet an emergency situation does not require advance approval.

The Department Head or supervisor is responsible for authorizing, approving and submitting overtime hours on an employee’s timesheet.

Section 7.3 – Reporting Absences. Employees are required to be at work during prescribed hours unless on authorized leave as determined herein. Should employees be unable to report for work, it will be incumbent upon the employee to report that inability to their immediate supervisor at least 30 minutes prior to commencement of the regular work shift giving as much reasonable notice as practical. Employees shall notify the City immediately when they are able to return to work.

A. Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to establish requirements and guidelines for employees who have been authorized or instructed to work remotely. “Remote working” is a work flexibility arrangement under which an employee performs their work duties and responsibilities from an approved worksite other than the location from which the employee normally reports to work.

Remote working may be approved or ordered for those employees who are able to perform job duties remotely without utilizing a city facility workspace. The primary purpose of remote working is to maintain all City service operations, particularly under those circumstances where operating from the normal workspace is problematic. Remote working is not leave from work duties; it is working remotely to continue to fulfill the essential duties of your job.

B. Scope: This policy applies to all employees specifically authorized or instructed by the City Manager to work remotely. Not all positions in the City are appropriate for remote working. The determination of which employees may or should engage in remote working is at the sole discretion of the City Manager. The City Manager may rescind any authorization or instruction to work remotely at any time.
