HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 15 - Successor MOA with San Luis Obispo City Employees' Association (SLOCEA)
Department Name: Human Resources
Cost Center: 2007
For Agenda of: December 8, 2020
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Monica Irons, Director of Human Resources
Prepared By: Nickole Sutter, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO CITY EMPLOYEES’
ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) ratifying the Successor Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) (Attachment B) between the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo City
Employees’ Association (SLOCEA) with a three-year term (July 1, 2019 through June 30,
2022); and
2. Adopt a Regular and Supplemental Salary Schedule effective December 10, 2020 as required
by California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) (Attachments C & D).
DISCUSSION
Background
SLOCEA represents approximately 174 members in classifications providing a wide variety of
services to the community including parks, streets, and facilities maintenance, utilities workers,
public works project and building inspectors, code enforcement, engineers, planners, and
administrative support. Compensation and benefits for this group of employees is established by
a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that expired on June 30, 2019. Under California law,
when an MOA or “labor contract” expires, the terms and conditions of the MOA continue
without change or remain status quo until a successor MOA is negotiated.
The Council adopted a Fiscal Health Response Plan (FHRP) in April 2018 to address the
significant financial impacts of CalPERS downward adjustment to the discount rate or the
assumed rate of return on investments. The FHRP went into effect for fiscal years 2018-19,
2019-20, and 2020-21 with the goal of increasing revenues and decreasing expenditures so that
$8.9 million could be set aside to pay down the City’s CalPERS unfunded liability. The FHRP
included employee concessions (anticipated growth of employee wages and benefits at a rate less
than inflation) equaling $1.9 million by fiscal year 2020-21. These employee concessions were
reached with all other employee groups by providing employees modest cost of living increases,
partially offset by increased ongoing employee contributions to employer pension costs
(retirement cost-sharing). The SLOCEA MOA that expired in June 2019, covered the first year
of the FHRP. While it did not include increased retirement cost-sharing, it did meet the economic
objective of the FHRP in that no changes to salary occurred during the term of the agreement.
Item 15
Packet Page 275
In April 2019, the City invited SLOCEA to an informational financial overview session to
highlight components of the FHRP and fiscal forecast in preparation for upcoming negotiations.
Ultimately that meeting was held in August 2019, after the expiration of the MOA, and included
a financial consultant hired by SLOCEA to evaluate the City’s financial position.
The City and SLOCEA began bargaining for a successor labor agreement in October 2019. The
City’s primary interests were to meet the FHRP financial objectives including increased
retirement cost-sharing, and a longer-term contract in an effort to provide stability for this unit
and equity with other employee groups. SLOCEA’s primary objectives were to make up
perceived historic concessions over the last decade through salary increases, avoid increased
retirement cost-sharing, and increase the percent the City contributes towards HMO medical
plans.
At the start of negotiations, both parties offered three-year proposals. SLOCEA’s three-year
proposal included 13% cost-of-living increases over the term of the contract, as well as increased
City contributions to medical insurance above the established cost-sharing formula used with all
other employee groups. In contrast, the City’s three-year proposal included 7% cost-of-living
increases, 3% retirement cost-sharing, and an increase above the established cost-sharing
formula for medical insurance in the first year and then maintaining the City’s formula for the
second and third year. The City’s proposal met the FHRP objectives for the first two years of the
contract through increased employee contributions to retirement, offset by modest cost-of-living
increases and was consistent with agreements reached with all other employee groups.
After meeting ten times with movement by both parties, impasse was mutually declared on
January 23, 2020. At the time of impasse, the parties were 3.5% apart in salary (5% requested by
SLOCEA vs 1.5% offered by City) for a two-year term and could not agree on the medical
insurance cost-sharing formula. In an effort to reach agreement with this unit, the City
acknowledged SLOCEA’s position to avoid retirement-sharing while achieving the economic
objective of the FHRP.
In March 2020, SLOCEA filed an Unfair Labor Practice Charge (UPC) against the City with the
Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) claiming that the City bargained in bad faith by
inviting SLOCEA to bargain, by offering them limited retroactivity for a time certain, and by
maintaining an allegedly unlawful “no strike clause” in the City’s Employer-Employee
Resolution, among other allegations. The City has vigorously disputed these claims in two
submissions to PERB, where the matter is still pending.
SLOCEA elected to have impasse submitted to a factfinding panel in accordance with State law
with factfinding originally scheduled July 2020 based on availability of the neutral hearing
officer. In a continued effort to reach agreement, the parties returned to the bargaining table on
July 30, 2020 but were unsuccessful at breaking impasse, therefore the parties proceeded with
factfinding.
Item 15
Packet Page 276
Factfinding
Pursuant to SLOCEA’s statutory right to request factfinding, the parties convened factfinding
before State Hearing Officer Najeeb Khoury on October 22-23, 2020 and November 20, 2020.
Factfinding provides for a three-person panel, consisting of one member selected by each party
(Nickole Sutter, Human Resources Manager and Ron Faria, SLOCEA President) and one neutral
member selected by both parties from State Mediation and Conciliation, Mr. Khoury. The panel
makes inquiries as it deems appropriate and ultimately issues findings of fact and advisory
recommendations to promote settlement. If agreement is not reached during factfinding, a report
is issued. Once the panel has issued its report, the City must make the findings and
recommendations public within 10 days. Ultimately, Council may adopt or reject the
recommendations, impose a last, best, and final offer, or do nothing.
In factfinding, the City emphasized: 1) its long history of financial sustainability grounded in
policy1, 2) its good faith efforts to reach agreement with this group including acknowledging
SLOCEA’s concerns regarding increased retirement cost-sharing, 3) the value of the City’s offer
to SLOCEA employees and its favorable comparison to other City employee groups during the
same timeframe, and 4) the percent of health premiums covered by the City’s proposed increase
in health contribution.
SLOCEA’s position was that the City can afford its 5% salary increase proposal over two years,
and that SLOCEA members deserve such an increase because of its belief that members had not
received a net salary increase in the last decade. Despite SLOCEA’s belief, its members have
received a 5% net increase since 2010, which is greater than most employee groups at the City
from 2010-2018.
Throughout the factfinding process, both parties saw the value of reaching an agreement and
remained focused on how best to achieve this mutual objective. Below is a summary of the
agreement the parties have reached pending, at the time of writing this report, ratification by the
SLOCEA membership. SLOCEA anticipates notifying staff of the outcome of a general
membership vote by close of business on December 7, 2020.
Key Components of the Successor MOA
The following is a summary of the key changes included in the successor SLOCEA MOA:
Term: Three-Year Term (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022)
Salary: The parties agree to a salary increase as set forth below to be effective on the first
day of the first full payroll period following the date specified below for all unit members.
• December 2020 1.5%
• July 2021 2.5%
1 Fiscal Health Contingency Plan, Compensation Philosophy, Labor Relations Objectives, Fiscal Responsibility
Philosophy, and Fiscal Health Response Plan
Item 15
Packet Page 277
Lump Sum Payments: On December 31, 2020, the City will issue a one-time lump-sum
payment of $1,500 (less applicable taxes) to bargaining unit members who were employed by
the City as of November 1, 2020. Of note, is that none of the compensation increases in this
package are retroactive and the lump-sum payment acknowledges that if the parties had
reached agreement sooner, employees would have received the salary and health insurance
increases sooner.
Compensation Study: The City will complete a benchmark compensation survey by
February 28, 2022. These types of surveys typically consider total compensation including
retirement cost-sharing and may inform the next round of negotiations with this employee
group.
Health: Effective the first paycheck in January 2021 (given health insurance premiums have
increased for 2021) the City contribution towards medical insurance will increase to match
the unrepresented management and confidential employee contributions for 2021. In
December 2021 (for the January 2022 premium), the City’s total health flex allowance for
group medical coverage shall be increased by an amount equal to one-half of
the average percentage change for family coverage in the PERS health plans available in San
Luis Obispo County.
Renegotiations and Peaceful Performance: The UPC alleged violations in each of these
areas and clarifying language has been agreed to that allows either party to initiate
negotiations for a successor MOA within a specified timeframe. Further, modifications to
the peaceful performance article replace and supersede the no strike provision set forth in the
Employer-Employee Relations Resolution 6620 and are consistent with State law that allows
for public sector employees to strike, once bargaining and impasse procedures are exhausted,
unless the strike causes substantial and imminent threat to public health and safety.
Grievance Procedure: Provides that appeals from the City Manager’s decision for
grievances alleging a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of an express
provision(s) of the MOA, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration instead of going
to the Personnel Board and being advisory to Council.
Other non-economic terms and conditions: Several other non-economic modifications are
proposed including clarifying that vacation, sick, and holiday leave hours are pro -rated for
part-time employees based on hours scheduled to work, incorporating an updated Skills
Based Pay Guidance document, and documenting State law with respect to providing an
employee the right to representation when being investigated and notification to SLOCEA
when new employees are hired. In addition, SLOCEA is taking on sole responsibility for
providing and administering a plan for long-term disability for SLOCEA employees.
Dismissal of the Unfair Labor Practice Charge: SLOCEA has also agreed to request
dismissal of its UPC within five days of the City Council’s approval of the successor MOA.
Item 15
Packet Page 278
CONCURRENCE
A tentative agreement was reached on November 20, 2020 between the City’s bargaining team
and SLOCEA representatives pending SLOCEA ratification by vote of the membership and
Council approval. Given the timelines associated with bringing this report forward, it is not
feasible to obtain ratification prior to this report being published, however, staff will notify
Council of the result prior to Council’s final consideration of this matter on December 8, 2020.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

The cumulative ongoing cost for all funds after all items are implemented for the successor
MOA is approximately $705,220 or 4.58% of total compensation and the one-time cost for all
funds for the lump-sum payments is approximately $235,500. The ongoing costs will become the
new base cost for future years and are modeled in the ten-year forecast, are sustainable under the
FHRP and are consistent with Council adopted Labor Relations Objectives.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve recommended changes to the resolution and MOA. Instead, direct staff to
return to the bargaining table with SLOCEA. This alternative is not recommended as the
resolution and MOA are consistent with previous Council direction, with the economic
objectives of the Fiscal Health Response Plan and are within projected fiscal forecasts.

ARTICLE 5 - SALARY
A. RULES GOVERNING STEP CHANGES FOR NON-SKILLS BASED PAY
EMPLOYEES
The following rules shall govern step increases for employees:
(1) The first step is the minimum rate and shall normally be the hiring rate for the class.
In cases where it is difficult to secure qualified personnel, or if a person of unusual
qualifications is hired, the Human Resources Director may authorize hiring at any
step.
(2) The second step is an incentive adjustment to encourage an employee to improve
their work. An employee may be advanced to the second step following the
completion of twelve months satisfactory service upon recommendation by the
department head and the approval of the Human Resources Director.
(3) The third step represents the middle value of the salary range and is the rate at
which a fully qualified, experienced and ordinarily conscientious employee may
expect to be paid after a reasonable period of satisfactory service. An employee
may be advanced to the third step after completion of twelve months service at the
second step, provided the advancement is recommended by the department head
and approved by the Human Resources Director.
(4) The fourth and fifth steps are to be awarded only if performance is deemed
competent or above as shown on the last performance evaluation. An employee
may be advanced to the fourth step after completion of one year of service at the
third step provided the advancement is recommended by the department head and
approved by the Human Resources Director. An employee may be advanced to
the fifth step after completion of one-year service at the fourth step provided the
advancement is recommended and justified in writing by the department head and
approved by the Human Resources Director.
(5) The above criteria for step increases apply except where other arrangements are
authorized by the City Manager.

Deleted: his/her
Item 15
Packet Page 290

(6) In applying the above rules, the next step shall be granted, other conditions having
been met, on the first day of the payroll period within which the anniversary date
occurs.
(7) Should the employee's salary not be increased, it shall be the privilege of the
department head and City Manager to reconsider such increase at any time during
the year.
(8) Each department head shall be authorized to reevaluate employees who reach
Step 5 in their pay range. An employee who is not performing up to standard for
the fifth step shall be notified in writing that the department head intends to reduce
him one step unless his job performance improves to an acceptable level by the
end of 60 days. Prior to the end of 60 days the department head shall again
reevaluate the employee and, as part of that reevaluation, shall notify the employee
if the pay reduction shall then become effective. The fifth step may be reinstated
at any time upon recommendation of the department head. If the department head
deems it necessary to again remove the fifth step during the same fiscal year, they
may make the change at any time with three business days written notice.
B. RULES GOVERNING SKILLS BASED PAY
The guidelines for skills based pay classifications are set forth in Appendix B.
C. "Y" RATING
An employee who is not performing up to established job standards for reasons
including but not limited to transfer, reclassification, and performance issues may be
"Y" rated, freezing their salary until such time as standards are met. The department
head shall give 60 days written notice to any employee they intend to "Y" rate, giving
the employee an opportunity to correct any deficiencies. A "Y" rated employee would
not receive either step increases or salary increases granted by the City Council in a
MOA resolution such as across the board cost of living increases, market equity
increases, or other increases to salary. The "Y" rating procedure shall not result (then
Deleted: he/she
Deleted: his/her
Deleted: he/she intends
Item 15
Packet Page 291
7
or later) in the employee being frozen below the next lower step of the new range. For
example, if an employee is at step 4 when "frozen" their salary shall not ever be less
than the current step 3 by this action. The only limited exception to “Y” rating may be
found in Appendix B, Skills Based Pay Guidance document.
D. COMPUTATION OF SALARY RANGE
Each salary range consists of five steps (1 through 5). Steps 1 through 4 equal 95%
of the next highest step, computed to the nearest one dollar.
Step 4 = 95% of Step 5
Step 3 = 95% of Step 4
Step 2 = 95% of Step 3
Step 1 = 95% of Step 2
Each across-the-board % salary increase shall raise step 5 of range 1 by that %. Step
5 of each successive salary range will be 2.63% above step 5 of the next lower range.
After all step 5's of salary ranges have been established, each step 5 shall be rounded
off to the nearest $1.00 and the remaining steps established in accordance with the
above formula.
E. SALARY PROVISION FOR THE TERM OF AGREEMENT
The parties agree to a salary increase as set forth below to be effective on the first
day of the first full payroll period following the date specified below for all unit
members.
• December 2020 1.5%
• July 2021 2.5%

ARTICLE 6 - OVERTIME
A. CITY/CONTRACT OVERTIME
Overtime is defined as all hours preauthorized by management and worked by the
employee in excess of forty (40) hours worked in a work week.
All paid leave hours shall be counted as hours worked for purposes of calculating
overtime to include Vacation, Holiday, Sick Leave and Compensatory Time Off
(CTO). All overtime shall be authorized by the department head or designee
prior to being compensated.
B. FLSA/STATUTORY OVERTIME
For the purpose of complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime
requirements under 29 USC Section 207(a), the City has adopted a dual calculation
method whereby it calculates FLSA overtime based on all hours actually worked by
overtime eligible employees in excess of 40 hours in the seven-day work period. To
the extent the City’s dual calculation method determines that FLSA overtime owed
for the seven-day work period exceeds the amount of City/Contract overtime paid for
in the same seven-day work period, the difference will be paid to the employee by
way of an “FLSA Adjustment” in the following City pay period.
C. COMPENSATION
All overtime as defined in Section A of this Article shall be paid in cash at one and
one half (1 1/2) the employee's base rate of pay, plus incentives as defined below in
Section E, or in time off (CTO) at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) hours for each
hour of overtime worked. All overtime shall be compensated to the nearest five (5)
minutes worked.
Separate and apart from the City's contractual obligation to pay overtime in
accordance with Section A above, the City is obligated to calculate and pay, at a
Item 15
Packet Page 294
10
minimum, FLSA overtime based on the federally defined regular rate of pay which
includes cash in lieu in compliance with the Flores v. City of San Gabriel applicable
to members of SLOCEA's bargaining unit. This calculation will be administered in
accordance with Section B above.
D. COMPENSATORY TIME OFF (CTO)
An employee who earns City/Contract overtime as defined in Section A above may
elect compensation in the form of time off (CTO). An employee may be compensated
in CTO and maintain up to sixty (60) hours of CTO in their CTO account during the
calendar year. Accumulated CTO may be taken through December 31st of each
calendar year. Accumulated CTO not taken by midnight December 31st shall be
compensated in cash at an employee’s hourly rate of pay not including any
incentives. Such compensation shall be paid in January of the following year.
E. PAY INCENTIVES TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BASE RATE FOR OVERTIME UNDER
SECTIONS A AND B ABOVE
• Bilingual Pay
• Safety Committee Pay
• Microsoft Certified Engineer (MSCE) or VMware Certified Professional (VCP)
Certifications
• Standby Pay
• Work out of Grade Pay
• Temporary Assignment Pay
F. WORK WEEK FOR CALCULATION OF OVERTIME
For all bargaining unit members working a regular 5/40 work schedule or a 4/10
alternative work schedule, the work week for the purpose of calculating overtime as
defined in Sections A & B of this Article shall be seven consecutive days, beginning
at 12:00 am Thursday and ending at 11:59 pm Wednesday.
Deleted: straight time
Item 15
Packet Page 295

For all bargaining unit members working a 9/80 alternative work schedule, the work
week for the purpose of calculating overtime as defined in Section A and B of this
Article shall be seven consecutive days, beginning exactly four hours into their eight-
hour shift on the day of the week which constitutes their alternative regular day off.

ARTICLE 16 - INSURANCE
A. HEALTH FLEX ALLOWANCE
Employees electing medical coverage in the City’s plans shall receive a health flex
allowance, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) and shall purchase such
coverage through the City’s Section 125 Plan “Cafeteria Plan”. If the health flex
allowance is less than the cost of the medical plan, the employee shall have the
opportunity to pay the difference between the health flex allowance and the
premium cost on a pre-tax basis through the City’s Cafeteria Plan. If the pre mium
cost for medical coverage is less than the health flex allowance, the employee shall
not receive any unused health flex in the form of cash or purchase additional
benefits under the Cafeteria Plan. Less than full-time employees shall receive a
prorated share of the City's contribution. Effective the first paycheck in January 2021,
the 2021 health flex allowance will be reset as shown below:
Level of Coverage 2018-2020
Monthly Rates
2021 Monthly
Rate
Employee Only $550 $593
Employee Only "Grandfathered"
*with no cash back option $790 $790
Employee Plus One $1,088 $1,173
Family $1,472 $1,588
Employees hired prior to September 1, 2008 that are grandfathered in and elect
employee only medical coverage will receive the health flex allowance listed above
for employee only “grandfathered” coverage. If an employee that is receiving
Employee Only or Opt Out “Grandfathered” coverage changes their level of
coverage, they will be eligible to return to the grandfathered coverage in a future year.

Effective December 2021 (for the January 2022 premium), the City’s total health flex
allowance for group medical coverage shall be increased by an amount equal to one-
half of the average percentage change for family coverage in the PERS health plans
available in San Luis Obispo County. In any event, the City’s contribution will not be
decreased. For example: if three plans were available and the year-to-year changes
were +10%, +20%, and -6% respectively, the City’s contribution would be increased
by 4% (10% + 20% + -6% ÷ 3 = 8% x 1/2). The employee only grandfathered amount
will not adjust.
The City agrees to continue its contribution to the health flex allowance for two (2)
pay periods in the event that an employee has exhausted all paid time off due to an
employee's catastrophic illness. That is, the employee shall receive regular City
health flex allowance for the first two pay periods following the pay period in which
the employee's accrued vacation and sick leave balances reach zero (0).
B. PERS HEALTH BENEFIT PROGRAM
The City has elected to participate in the PERS Health Benefit Program. The City
shall contribute an equal amount towards the cost of medical coverage under the
Public Employee’s Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) for both active
employees and retirees. The City’s contribution toward coverage under PEMHCA
shall be the statutory minimum contribution amount established by CalPERS on an
annual basis. The City's contribution will come out of that amount the City currently
contributes to employees as part of the City’s Cafeteria Plan. The cost of the City's
participation in PERS will not require the City to expend additional funds toward
health insurance. In summary, this cost and any increases will be borne by the
employees.

C. CONDITIONAL OPT OUT
Employees who at initial enrollment or during the annual open enrollment period,
complete an affidavit and provide proof of other minimum essential coverage for
themselves and their qualified dependents (tax family) that is not a qualified health
plan coverage under an exchange/marketplace or an individual plan, will be allowed
to waive medical coverage for themselves and their qualified dependents (tax family).
The monthly conditional opt-out incentives are:
Opt Out $200
“Grandfathered” Opt Out $790 (hired before September 1, 2008)
The conditional opt-out incentive shall be paid in cash (taxable income) to the
employee. The employee must notify the City within 30 days of the loss of other
minimum essential coverage. The conditional opt-out payment shall no longer be
payable, if the employee and family members cease to be enrolled in other minimum
essential coverage. Employees receiving the conditional opt-out amount will also be
assessed $16.00 per month to be placed in the Retiree Health Insurance Account.
This account will be used to fund the City's contribution toward retiree premiums and
the City's costs for the Public Employee's Contingency Reserve Fund and the

enrolled in the plan by SLOCEA and verified by SLOCEA to have authorized said
deductions. As part of the transition of duties and responsibilities for the LTD plan, SLOCEA
will be responsible for confirming or denying existing and continuing LTD plan coverage for
all bargaining unit members. The City will be responsible for notifying all non-bargaining
unit employees presently enrolled in the existing LTD plan regarding their eligibility for

All employees shall be covered by Long Term Disability
Insurance (LTD).¶
COST OF LTD¶
The employee shall pay all costs of the program, which the
City shall deduct from employees' paychecks. ¶
ACCUMULATION OF BENEFITS¶
Time-in-service and other City benefits will only accrue
when an employee is on City-paid time.¶
COORDINATION OF BENEFITS¶
LTD payments shall be coordinated with accumulated paid
time so that take home pay will not exceed regular take
home pay. Paid time is defined as vacation, sick leave,
CTO, and holiday.¶
The coordination of payments will be administered by the
City. The employee must take his/her uncashed LTD
benefit check to Finance.¶
Determination of the use of paid time for coordination of
benefits shall be made by the City. Employees on disability
leave shall be required to use all accumulated paid time
prior to using unpaid time.¶
Employees who receive LTD benefits shall receive credit for
a portion of the paid leave used to cover their absence. To
determine the credit, the amount of their LTD benefit shall
be divided by their base hourly rate multiplied by 1.4. The
credit shall be prorated if the employee has any non -paid
time during the pay period. To receive the credit, the
employee must sign his/her LTD benefit check over to the
City.¶

EXAMPLE:Employee uses 80 hours of sick leave.¶
Employee receives $384 from LTD.¶
Employee's hourly rate is $9.67.¶

ACCRUAL OF BENEFITS WHILE ON LTD LEAVE¶
If an employee has no paid time at the beginning of a pay
period, the employee shall neither accrue vacation or sick
leave, nor shall the employee receive his/her regular City
health payment benefit except as provided in #3 below. To
continue health insurance, the employee must pay the
entire cost of his/her health coverage for that pay period.¶
If an employee has at least sixteen hours of paid time at the
beginning of a pay period, the employee shall receive
his/her regular vacation and sick leave accruals.¶
If an employee has any paid time at the beginning of a pay
period, the employee shall receive his/her regular City
health payment benefit for that pay period. For continuance
of medical insurance see Insurance, Article 16, Section A.¶

grandparent, or any other relative as defined by Labor Code 233 and/or Assembly
Bill 1522.
D. The amounts shown in A, B, and C above are annual maximums, not maximums per
qualifying family member.
E. In conjunction with existing leave benefits, employees with one year of City service
who have worked at least 1250 hours in the last year, may be eligible for up to 12
weeks of Family/Medical Leave in accordance with the federal Family and Medical
Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) within any 12-month
period. FMLA can be used for:
1. A new child through birth, adoption or foster care (maternal or paternal leave).
2. A seriously ill child, spouse or parent who requires hospitalization or
continuing treatment by a physician.
3. Placement of an employee's child for adoption or foster care.
4. A serious health condition which makes the employee unable to perform the
functions of his or her position.
This leave shall be in addition to leave available to employees under the existing four-
month Pregnancy-Disability Leave provided by California law. Paid leave, if used for
family leave purposes or personal illness, will be subtracted from the 12 weeks allowed
by FMLA/CFRA. Employees must use all available vacation, compensatory time off,
floating holiday, and sick leave prior to receiving unpaid FMLA/CFRA leave. Effective
March 2019, in the event an employee is caring for a family member and is covered

under FMLA/CFRA, they will be able to use all accrued sick leave to care for a family
member.
Employees on FMLA/CFRA will continue to receive the City's contribution toward the
cost of health insurance premiums. However, employees who receive cash back
under the City's Cafeteria Plan will not receive that cash during the FMLA/CFRA. Only
City group health insurance premiums will be paid by the City.
If an employee does not return to work following FMLA/CFRA leave, the City may
collect from the employee the amount paid for health insurance by the City during the
leave. There are two exceptions to this rule:
1. The continuation of a serious health condition of the employee or a covered
family member prevents the return.
2. Circumstances beyond the employee's control.
Further details on FMLA/CFRA leaves, are available through the City's Policies and
Procedures on Leaves and in accordance with the law.

possible, upon the wishes of the employee. Management may not deny an
employee's vacation request if such denial will result in the loss of vacation accrual by
the employee, except that, management may approve a two-month extension of
maximum vacation accrual. In no event shall more than one such extension be
granted in any calendar year.
E. Any employee who is on approved vacation leave and becomes eligible for sick leave,

performance and attendance practices are satisfactory. If an employee reaches the
annual accrual cap before December and is eligible for cash out as defined above, the
employee will be able to request vacation payment one additional time during the
calendar year, in addition to the December cash out. However, no more than 40 hours
of unused vacation leave will be paid out in any calendar year. Employees must have

ARTICLE 29 - LAYOFFS
LAYOFF PROCEDURE
In accordance with Personnel Rule 2.36.280, the City Council of San Luis Obispo shall
determine when and in what position or classifications layoffs are to occur. The Human
Resources Director shall be responsible for the implementation of a layoff order of the City
Council in accordance with the procedures outlined below:
A. After determining which job classification within a department shall be laid off,
the order of layoffs shall be as follows:
1. Temporary/supplemental and contract employees, in the order to be
determined by the appointing authority;
2. Probationary employees (promotional probation excluded), in the order
to be determined by the appointing authority;
For regular employees, layoffs shall be governed by job performance and
seniority in service within a particular department and job classification. For the
purpose of implementing this provision, job performance categories shall be
defined as follows:
Category 1:
Performance that is below performance standards. Performance
defined by this category is evidenced by the employee's two most recent
performance evaluations with an overall rating that falls in the lowest
performance evaluation category: Below Performance Standards.
Category 2:
Performance that is competent, superior, meets expectations, meets
performance standards, exceeds performance standards and
expectations or is outstanding. Performance defined by this category is
evidenced by an employee's two most recent performance evaluations
with an overall rating that falls within the Meets Performance Standards
or Exceeds Performance Standards performance evaluation categories.
Deleted: unsatisfactory, below standard, needs
improvement, unacceptable or does not meet minimum
standards…
Deleted: within the lowest two categories of the
performance appraisal report.
Deleted: top two or three performance categories of
the performance appraisal
Item 15
Packet Page 329
45
A regular employee being laid off shall be that employee with the least
seniority in the particular job classification concerned and in the
department involved who is in the lowest job performance category.
Employees in Category 1 with the lowest seniority will be laid off first,
followed by employees in Category 2. Should the two performance
evaluations contain overall ratings that are in the two different Categories
as defined above, the third most recent evaluation overall rating shall be
used to determine which performance category the City shall use in
determining order of layoffs.
a. In the event two or more employees in the same job classification
are in the same job performance category, the employee with the
least amount of service with the City shall be laid off first.
b. Transfer to another department in lieu of layoff is authorized upon
approval of the department needs, if there is a vacancy and the
employee meets the minimum job requirements.
c. Regular part time employees shall receive prorated seniority
credit.
B. Laid Off Employees on Reemployment List.
The names of employees who have been laid off shall be placed on the
appropriate Reemployment List for one year. The recall of employees will be in
reverse order of layoff, depending upon City requirements.
Reemployment lists shall be used for filling those classes requiring substantially
the same minimum qualifications, duties and responsibilities of the class from
which the layoff was made.
C. Appointment of Laid-Off Employees to Vacant Class.
An appointing authority may, with the approval of the department head and the
Human Resources Director and in agreement with the employee, appoint an
employee who is to be laid off to a vacancy in a vacant class for which he or
she is qualified.

D. Employee reassignments (bumping procedure):
1. Employees who have been promoted during their service with the City
may bump back one classification in their career series, or to a position
within a classification they formerly held, if there is an employee in the
lower previously held classification with less seniority than the employee
who wants to bump. Seniority for the purpose of this section shall mean
time in the position in the lower classification plus time in other
classifications. For example, (1) an employee attempting to bump to
Accounting Assistant II from Accounting Assistant III would utilize their
combined time as a II and III in determining whether or not they had more
seniority than an individual in the II classification. (2) An employee
attempting to bump to a Parks Maintenance Specialist from a Sweeper
Operator position would utilize their combined time in each respective
position to determine seniority.
2. Reassignment rights may be exercised only once in connection with any
one layoff, and shall be exercised within seven (7) calendar days from
the date of the notice of the layoff, by written notice from the employee.
3. The bumping right shall be considered exercised by the displacement of
another employee with lesser total service or by the acceptance of a
vacant position in the class with the same or lower salary.
4. Full time and part time regular employees shall have bumping rights for
either full time regular or part time regular positions.
5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the City Manager determines that the
public interest will not be served by application of the above criteria, the
City Manager may depart therefrom on the basis of a clearly
demonstrable superiority in performance and/or qualifications.
6. Employees on layoff shall be offered reemployment in the inverse order
of layoff, provided no intervening factors have occurred which essentially
change the ability of the employee to perform the offered employment.

The notice shall include the following information:
1. Reason for lay-off.
2. Effective date of layoff.

3. When an individual is reemployed they shall be entitled to:
a. Retain their seniority date.
b. Accrue vacation leave at the same rate at which it was accrued at
the time of the layoff.
c. Have any unused sick leave reinstated.
An individual reemployed into the job classification from which they were laid off shall be
assigned to the same salary range and step they held at the time of the layoff. An individual
reemployed into a job classification other than the classification from which they were laid
off shall be assigned to the salary range of the new classification at the amount closest to
the salary they earned at the time of the layoff. An individual reemployed into the
classification from which they were laid off while still a probationary employee shall
complete, upon return to the job, the remaining portion of the probationary period, if any, in
effect at the time of the layoff. Similarly, an individual who is reemployed shall complete
upon return to the job the same work time they would have had to work at the time of the
layoff to attain a higher vacation leave accrual rate or to become eligible for a salary step
increase, if such changes are possible.

the alternate representation; however, the employee shall not be required to answer any
questions without a representative present, unless the employee voluntarily chooses to do
so.

APPENDIX B - SKILLS BASED PAY GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
Skills Based Pay – Guidance Document
Skills Based Pay is a pay/classification system which establishes employee pay and position within
a broad pay scale based on the employee’s demonstrated knowledge, skills, and abilities as
compared to a defined criterion for each position. This is a different pay/classification model than
the traditional time in-grade system.
Benefits of the Skills Based Pay Program are:
1. Promotes teamwork and provides incentive for employees to be their best.
2. Allows natural leaders to flourish and individual strengths to surface.
3. Encourages cross-training of employees and sets mandatory skill levels within a
classification to ensure a flexible, highly skilled workforce.
4. Eliminates traditional hierarchy of multiple classifications and in lieu, provides a single
broad pay and classification range, reducing artificial barriers to career progression.
5. An employee’s step within their range will be based on employee’s value to the
organization as measured by demonstrated knowledge, skills, performance and abilities.
6. Employee progression through the steps in a range occurs at a rate commensurate with
their ability.
7. Expectations for personnel are reflected in the Skills Based Pay Criteria.
Employees demonstrating exceptional performance and development, who are able to meet the
defined criteria for progression, can progress at a rate faster than one step per year. Conversely,
employees unable to demonstrate the required performance, knowledge, skills, and abilities
required to progress to the next step as defined in the criteria, will not progress.

1. Step Criteria
The evaluation criteria for classifications are broken down into 9 separate steps. Employees must
meet all the criteria required of each step, and demonstrate proficiency of each required skill, while
continuing to meet all requirements of previous steps achieved.
Step 1 identifies the evaluation criteria expected of an entry level employee.
Step 2 and 3 reflect stronger and more closely related experience requirements, as well as
increasing knowledge and abilities for the classification.
Steps 4 through 6 identify ongoing development and demonstration of skill sets up to the point of
development of a highly skilled and competent individual in the work classification who is able to
lead work and functioning a very independent manner.
Attaining step 6 is mandatory and employees must demonstrate ongoing and consistent progress
toward achieving this step in order to meet expectations. An employee at Step 6 is considered to
have reached full journey level. By having staff function at a full journey level (Step 6), a
department has the maximum flexibility in the use of its personnel resources to respond effectively,
with skilled journey level employees bringing maximum utility to the organization.
Item 15
Packet Page 358
74
Step 7 is primarily represented by an employee who demonstrates the ability to lead or manage a
project or program. While the employee will have the ability to do a project much earlier in the
steps, the sophistication and complexity of the step 7 project/program will demonstrate the
employee’s program and policy comprehension as well as demonstration that the employee
possesses an understanding of the department’s overall goals.
Step 8 goes further into the personnel job-related leadership skills such as: conflict resolution, time
management, team building, staff training and optimization of work duties. Employees at this
level are expected to contribute to the growth of the organization through their knowledge of their
work duties and a department’s Strategic Plan and other related documents.
Step 9 is intended to represent those employees who have achieved the ability to assume the duties
of their supervisor for a limited amount of time. Employees at this level would typically be actively
involved with professional organizations for the betterment of the industry and the department.
Self assessment and the pursuit of additional training / education required to maintain advanced
journey level skills are expected of employees at this level.
The remaining steps 7 through 9 increasingly incorporate the knowledge, skills, performance and
abilities of a fully developed, advanced journey level employee, with excellent technical,
interpersonal, and professional skills, emphasizing the expectation that all employees be able to
function independently, lead teams on projects, and be actively involved in their profession.
Attaining steps 7 through 9 is desirable, but not mandatory.
2. Step Placement
Employees are placed at the step in the criteria, in which they have demonstrated the knowledge,
skills, and abilities, required for that step and below. Step criteria will be available for employees
to review at least fourteen (14) days prior to an Employment Opportunity Program announcement
is made or a section or classification is invited to participate in SBP.
For employees working in a classification to be transitioned to the SBP program, each Supervisor
will review the criteria individually with staff members, and discuss their placement based on the
criteria requirements. Supervisors will then make placement recommendations based on the
criteria. Recommendations will be reviewed by the Division Manager prior to final approval by
the Department Director and the Human Resources Director.
New Hires
Newly hired employees shall meet the minimum qualifications as specified in the job description
and be placed in the appropriate step of the criteria based on their knowledge, skills, and abilities
ascertained through the application and interview process. Placement of new employees above
step four in the range requires the approval of the Department Director and the Human Resources
Director. Certain City requirements, as identified in the program criteria, will be waived for hiring,
but will be required to be completed within the first 12 months of employment in order for the
Item 15
Packet Page 359
75
employee to remain at their hired step. Employees failing to meet the requirements may be released
from new hire probation, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Transfers to SBP through the Employment Opportunity Program (EOP)
Employees transferring into SBP from another SBP or Non-SBP classification through their
application for an open position and selection by an appointing authority shall meet the minimum
qualifications as specified in the job description and shall be placed in the appropriate step of the
criteria based on their knowledge, skills, and abilities. If the employee’s current salary exceeds
that of the pay step that corresponds to the skill step at which they have been placed in the SBP
criteria, the employee will be paid the lower salary step based on their SBP step placement.
Transfer employees are subject to a probationary period and reinstatement terms as provided in
the SLOCEA MOA. Certain City requirements, as identified in the program criteria, will be
required to be completed within the first 12 months of transfer in order for the employee to remain
at their transferred step.
Transition from Traditional Pay Plan to SBP by Section or Classification/Reclassification
When an entire Section or Classification transitions to SBP, the supervisor will evaluate the skills
of each employee and assign them to a skill step in the SBP criteria. If an employee’s salary
immediately prior to transfer is lower than the salary corresponding to the skill step at which the
employee is placed, the employee’s salary will be increased to the appropriate pay step. However,
if any affected employee’s current salary exceeds that of the pay step corresponding to the skill
step at which they have been placed in the SBP criteria, the employee will be paid his/her current
salary. S/he may receive their existing salary for up to two years until they are able to satisfy the
appropriate criteria that meets or exceeds their salary. Employees paid above the step criteria to
which they are assigned shall be considered Y rated (not performing up to established job standards
due to transfer to SBP). However, these employees shall be eligible to receive cost of living,
equity, or other salary adjustments authorized by Council through resolution for up to two years
from date of transfer into SBP.
3. Training and Certifications
Supervisors will work closely with employees in identifying individual training needs, and
providing work experience and certification programs. Training is a class or activity while
certification requires written or hands-on testing. Supervisors are actively involved in employee
training, certification, and work rotation for certain tasks and processes among staff. The City will
pay for required training and certifications identified in the SBP criteria. Certifications for
equipment will be available from either formal outside programs or standardized internal testing.
Employees may seek additional training in order to facilitate skills development and progression
through the SBP criteria. The City may fund costs for optional training if it is pre-approved.
Any equipment and software lists referenced in the SBP criteria, will be updated regularly to reflect
current equipment and software used. When new equipment and software are obtained for the
program which requires training and certification, the Supervisor will identify or develop a plan to
achieve certification and training. Employees will then be given the opportunity to complete a
training and certification program as scheduled by the Supervisor, to maintain their existing step
Item 15
Packet Page 360
76
placement or as part of advancement, or, as in some classifications, to meet Federal and State
mandated requirements.
4. Performance Evaluations and Step Adjustments
Employee evaluations with development plans will follow current Personnel Rules and
Regulations. At the time of performance evaluation, Supervisors will discuss with the employee
what areas of the SBP criteria have been achieved during the previous year, what criteria need to
be completed to achieve the next steps, and the status of achieving or maintaining Step 6. This
information will be documented in the development plan of the evaluation along with any
information on efforts needed to maintain step status.
Attainment of higher levels in Skills Based Pay will be commensurate with the higher expectations
of the employee at those levels. Employees will not be rated or denied placement at higher levels
based on the number or performance of other employees at a given step. There will be no limits
placed on the amount of Step 7, 8, or 9 employees within a work section. Employees may advance
multiple steps during a single evaluation cycle, provided they meet the SBP criteria for each step.
Employee evaluations are completed quarterly for probationary employees, and at a minimum,
completed annually for non-probationary employees. Placement adjustments are recommended by
the supervisor and made at the time of the employee’s evaluation. Adjustments may include more
than one step at each evaluation, depending upon completion of step criteria.
Employees may receive pay adjustments for meeting all criteria associated with the next step,
outside of the annual review process for those items of the SBP criteria specifically identified as
eligible items in the most recent evaluation development plan, for mid-year adjustment. No
additional evaluation is required; however, any such mid-year adjustment must have been clearly
identified in the prior appraisal.
Employees are responsible to provide any documentation needed for the adjustment to their
supervisor.
Employees failing to maintain performance and demonstrate competence through their current
placement within a step in a range will be subject to movement to a lower step in accordance with
MOA and Personnel Rules and Regulations.
All recommendations made by supervisors for employee step increases shall be subject to review
and approval by the department head and Human Resources. Employees wishing to appeal their
placement within a step in a range may appeal to the division manager and the department head.
5. Rules and Regulations
All Personnel Rules and Regulations, Memorandum of Agreement (MOA,) and other policies and
guidelines of the City and the department shall remain to govern the appropriate conduct of the
employee and the organization. Nothing in this program of skills based pay shall supersede the
City’s authority or the employee’s rights under the referenced documents.
Item 15
Packet Page 361
77
6. Program Participation
New classification(s) or section(s) can be identified to transition to Skills Based Pay, by either the
City or SLOCEA. Upon mutual agreement the classification(s) or section(s) will be considered to
be under a pilot program to evaluate effectiveness. Pilot programs are typically one year in
duration, but can be extended to two years at the recommendation of the employees in the affected
classification(s) or section(s) as communicated to the City by SLOCEA. At the end of the pilot
program, SLOCEA will notify the City that the affected classification(s) or section(s) will either
continue in the Skills Based Pay Program or terminate participation.
7. Program Review and Modification
The affected department(s) will assemble a review committee made up of, at minimum, a
representative from Human Resources, a representative from each classification, a representative
from the SLOCEA Board, and a manager from the department(s), to review in detail all program
components, including changes made to criteria, appropriateness, equity of the evaluation criteria,
issues with implementation, including perceived inconsistencies, progress in employee
development and availability of opportunities, and noted benefits to the City and its employees.
The Committee will meet, at a minimum, every six months during the pilot phase of the program,
and annually thereafter, with a goal of timely resolution of issues and ongoing consistency.
Recommended changes to the Guidance Document will be subject to the meet and confer process
prior to implementation.
The step criteria for each classification will periodically require updating or modification in order
to adequately represent changing needs of the organization and the demands of the various
positions. Changes in the criteria may be recommended by the affected classification(s), the
committee, or management, and reviewed and approved by the Department Head or his/her
designate(s) with concurrence of the Human Resources Director.
