Internal Revenue Service regulations, this additional 1.7% contribution shall be <br />implemented through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis. <br />4.4 Application of Basic Compensation Plan. The salary rate ranges contained in Section 4.2 <br />and Exhibit "B" are monthly salary rate ranges. All employees working in classifications <br />of employment covered by this Agreement shall be compensated at a monthly rate, <br />except that an employee hired for temporary work in a position which has an anticipated <br />duration of less than six (6) months shall be paid at a rate per hour for actual time spent in <br />the performance of the duties of his or her employment. The regular rate of pay shall be <br />computed as provided for by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). <br />Any hourly rate of pay, defined as the regular hourly rate of pay, shall be computed by <br />dividing the monthly salary rate by 173.33. In determining the hourly rate as herein <br />provided, computation shall be made to the nearest whole cent and a computation <br />resulting in an even one-half cent shall fix the rate at the next higher whole cent. <br />4.5 Probation. The probationary period shall be one (1) year from the date of appointment <br />from an open eligible list (new hire) or a reappointment eligible list (rehire) or a <br />promotional eligible list. <br />4.6 Beginning Rates. A new employee of the City of Santa Ana shall be paid the rate shown <br />as Step "AAA" in the salary rate range allocated to the classification of employment for <br />which he or she has been hired. In special instances where such new employee possesses <br />unique and exceptional educational training and/or experience qualifications, the <br />Department Head, under whom the employee will serve, may submit a written request <br />and justification to the City Manager for authorization to place such new employee on <br />Step "AA," "A," "B," "C," or "D" within the allocated salary rate range, provided that <br />such employee shall be assigned such salary step upon the commencement of his or her <br />service in the classification of employment to which the salary rate range applies and <br />such assignment having once been made shall remain in effect until the said employee <br />shall be entitled to advance to the next salary step in accordance with the further <br />provisions of this Article. <br />4.7 Service. The word "service" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to mean <br />continuous, full-time service in the classification in which the employee is being <br />considered for salary advancement, service in a higher classification or service in a <br />classification allocated to the same salary rate range and having generally similar duties <br />and requirements. Employees hired after the first (I") working day of the month shall not <br />be credited with "time in service" for that month when determining the length of service <br />required for salary step advancement. A lapse of service by an employee for a period of <br />time longer than thirty (30) calendar days by reason of resignation, quit, or discharge, <br />shall serve to eliminate the accumulated length of service time of such employee for the <br />purposes of this Agreement, and such employee reentering the service of the City shall be <br />considered as a new employee, except when he or she is being or will be reappointed <br />within one (1) year and placed in the same salary step in the appropriate salary rate as he <br />or she was at the time of termination of employment.
