City attorney says City cannot offer retroactive on-call pay; council to study policy
Summary
Council discussed a new on-call pay policy; City Attorney Katherine Kenison advised the City cannot authorize retroactive pay (it would be considered gifting) and that stand-by pay is limited to non-exempt employees.
Council members and staff discussed a proposed on-call pay policy prepared by the city attorney. City Attorney Katherine Kenison told the council that "the City cannot do retroactive pay as it is considered gifting" and that stand-by (on-call) pay is limited to non-exempt employees; the council directed further study and will discuss the item at the next meeting.
The minutes show the issue was raised under the police department report and that additional review is needed to align pay practices with state rules on gifts and wage classifications. The minutes do not specify which positions are affected or propose specific pay rates; those details will be part of the forthcoming study.
