§ 2-188. Rights and benefits.

(a)

The express general provisions for administrative officials in the civil service rules and regulations, Chapter 2, as amended from time to time, shall apply to administrative officials.

(b)

Administrative officials shall generally be granted the same level of employee benefit programs as are provided to classified employees and as set forth in the civil service rules and regulations, chapters 13 and 14, or future amendments thereto. Additionally, variations to the benefit level for administrative officials may be defined by retirement plan document, policy, or other applicable employment conditions.

(c)

Administrative officials shall not be eligible for overtime compensation or compensatory time accumulation, except as authorized in accordance with the policy during times of declared emergencies. The city manager and heads of departments are keenly aware of the work-life balance as a necessary part of leadership. Upon advanced request to the city manager and written authorization, the city manager is hereby authorized at his or her sole discretion to grant absences, generally in half day increments but not to exceed two days, from time to time, which will not be chargeable as leave time. This will be granted in consideration for the extra time administrative officials are required to spend in the course of their duties.
