Set employee pay levels and approve COVID-19 emergency sick leave

Police & Community Safety

In Plain English

The city must choose between 2 compensation options for all employees. Staff recommends giving every worker 80 hours of emergency paid sick leave under federal COVID-19 law, adjusted for part-time schedules. Police and fire employees could also sell back vacation time or exceed normal vacation limits due to pandemic work demands.
