BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS

Human Resources continually reviews and revises policy and guidelines to reflect the most recent labor law changes, implement best practices, and to enhance wording or provide clarity to our manual. To better align with City of Goodyear Policy and Administrative Guideline Policy 1 - Employee Policy Administration & Acknowledgment (see chart for policy vs. guideline distinction), several detailed process items were moved from Policy 200 to Guideline 210.
