C. Hiring Pay Policy.

When economic conditions, unusual employment conditions, or exceptional qualifications of a candidate for employment indicates a higher rate would be in the City's best interest, the City Manager may authorize compensating the new employee within the middle third of the salary range (Steps 6 through 10) but the higher starting salary will generally not be above Step 8. D. Rates of Pay for Temporary and Part -Time Work. When an employee is hired in an Executive Management (EM) classification on a temporary basis, which is defined as employment with an anticipated duration of less than six (6) months, or an employee is hired in an Executive Management (EM) classification on a part -time basis, which is defined as employment of forty (40) hours or less per semi - monthly pay period, the employee will be paid at a rate per hour for actual time spent in the duties of his or her employment. Rate per hour will be computed to the nearest whole cent by dividing the classification's standard monthly rate of compensation by 173.33. A computation resulting in exactly one -half (1/2) cent will fix the rate at the next higher whole cent. E. Service. The word "service" as used in this Resolution will be deemed to mean continuous, full -time service in the classification in which the employee is being considered for salary advancement, service in the higher classification or service in a classification allocated to the same salary rate range and having generally similar duties and requirements.

A lapse of service by an Executive Management (EM) employee for a period of time longer than ten (10) calendar days by reason of resignation, quit, or discharge, will serve to eliminate the accumulated length of service time of such employee for the purpose of this Resolution.
