Council asks staff to draft flex‑time policy after budget workshop question
Summary
At the budget workshop a councilmember asked staff to draft a flex‑time policy so employees have consistent guidance on overtime/flex scheduling; city manager said staff would facilitate crafting the policy.
During preliminary items at the start of the budget workshop, a councilmember asked that staff prepare a written flex‑time policy clarifying how salaried and hourly employees may take compensatory time when they work beyond scheduled hours.
The councilmember said the city has been exposed by inconsistent practices and asked staff to bring back guidelines (for example, time limits on using flex time). City Manager Jonathan Evans responded that, if it is the pleasure of the council, staff would facilitate drafting such a policy. Several councilmembers expressed no opposition to staff preparing the policy for future review.
Why it matters: Council members said consistent written rules would reduce ambiguity for staff and managers and help with payroll and scheduling clarity.
