ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2025-2445 AMENDING “POLICY 200 EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION” AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE “CITY OF GOODYEAR POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES MANUAL OF 02/01/2004. (Vicki Lackey, Deputy Director Human Resources)

This action will allow more flexibility in the scheduling of Police personnel. This will lead to optimization of patrol squad sizes while reducing overtime associated with shift coverage. All costs have been included as a part of the FY2025 budget.

The Human Resources Department 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. In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the "work period" can range from seven (7) to twenty-eight (28) days depending on the agency's scheduling needs. To provide greater scheduling flexibility and improved coverage we are changing the work period for non-exempt sworn police personnel from seven (7) to fourteen (14) days.

Policy 200 – Attendance and Leave

This change to the Employee Compensation policy will change the work period for non-exempt sworn police personnel to 14 days and overtime will be paid after 80 hours within the 14-day work period. The Resolution including Exhibit A "Policy 200 Employee Compensation", is included as Attachment A. The redlined version of Policy 200 is included as Attachment B.
