Approve new special assignment pay system for city employees
In Plain English
The city currently gives some employees extra pay for additional duties, but lacks clear rules about when and how much. This creates a formal system with set criteria and amounts. If approved, employees taking on extra responsibilities receive standardized bonus pay instead of arbitrary amounts.
