Waverly
The Waverly City Council adopted Resolution 251 revising the employee handbook and instructed staff to continue work on employee benefits.
Council members said the resolution codifies a practice that recent mayors had followed — granting the afternoon off on Christmas Eve — and directs staff to develop a "total rewards" package to better reflect the city's benefits beyond hourly wages.
"I want to work on a total rewards package," a council member said during discussion, noting the intent to include nonwage benefits in the handbook. The resolution was approved 4-0.
Council indicated the handbook language should be included in the next May update; specifics about timeline for the total rewards package were not set at the meeting.
