Denison council approves longevity-pay change to employee handbook, tables remaining revisions
Summary
Council approved changes to section 9.8 (Longevity Pay Plan) of the consolidated employee handbook and tabled the remaining handbook revisions; the committee discussed removing sick-leave payouts and conditional call-out permissions for Fire/EMS staff.
The Denison City Council approved an amendment to the employee handbook—specifically changes to section 9.8, the Longevity Pay Plan—on Oct. 7 and tabled the remainder of the proposed consolidated handbook for a future meeting.
City staff presented a revised handbook that combines the prior handbook and previously approved amendments. Proposed changes discussed included eliminating sick-leave payouts and permitting Fire and EMS employees to leave for emergency calls with manager approval and restrictions on call types. Council approved the longevity-pay language (motion by Granzen, seconded by Logan) and deferred further action until additional review of the remaining handbook language.
Council did not adopt the full handbook at the meeting; staff will return the remaining sections for future consideration.
