Council approves several employee handbook updates covering pay, holidays and vacation buyouts
Summary
Electric City updated sections of its employee handbook to clarify emergency-response pay, holiday pay eligibility, include the current merit-increase table, allow a one-time annual 40‑hour vacation cash-out, and raise on-call pay from $30 to $50 per day.
The council unanimously approved a suite of personnel-policy updates to the employee handbook.
Resolutions passed included: 2025‑04 clarifying pay for employees who respond to local emergency calls; 2025‑05 clarifying who receives holiday pay; 2025‑06 incorporating the current merit-increase table; 2025‑07 allowing full-time employees to cash out up to 40 hours of accrued vacation once per calendar year; and 2025‑08 increasing on-call (standby) pay from $30 per day to $50 per day. All motions passed by consensus.
The minutes record the policy language changes at a high level; specific budget implications for higher on-call pay or the fiscal impact of vacation buyouts were not detailed in the meeting record and would appear in subsequent personnel or budget documents if required.
