E. During the term of this 2022-2025 MOU, it is the City's intent to move from twenty-four (24) to twenty-six (26) pay periods. The parties acknowledge and agree that a change in the number of pay periods is a meet and confer issue. Once the City is ready to move forward, it will provide its proposal to the Association and the parties agree to promptly meet and confer on the issue. The parties acknowledge that such a change will require modification to language in several provisions of this 2022-2025 MOU. 5.4 Application of Basic Compensation Plan. The salary rate ranges discussed in Section 5.2 are monthly salary rate ranges. All employees working in classifications covered by this MOU shall be compensated at a monthly rate, except that an employee hired for temporary work in a position which has an anticipated duration of less than six (6) months shall be paid at a rate per hour for actual time spent in the performance of the duties of their employment. The regular rate of pay shall be computed as provided for by the FLSA. Any hourly rate of pay, defined as the regular hourly rate of pay, shall be computed by dividing the monthly salary rate plus any applicable premiums by one hundred seventy- three and thirty-three hundredths (173.33). In determining the hourly rate as herein provided, computation shall be made to the nearest whole cent and a computation resulting in an even one-half (1 /2) cent shall fix the rate at the next higher whole cent. 5.5 Probation. Except for employees in the Excepted Service as defined by the City Charter, and employees re-employed from re-employment lists, the probationary period shall be one (1) year from the date of appointment from an open eligible list (new hire) or a reappointment eligible list (rehire) and six (6) months from the date of appointment from a promotional eligible list. Effective the date of City Council adoption of this 2022-2025 MOU, the probationary period shall be one (1) year from the date of appointment from an open eligible list (new hire), reappointment eligible list (rehire), and promotional eligible list. 5.6 Beginning _ Rates.
