The salary rate ranges contained in Section 4.2 <br />and Exhibit "B" are monthly salary rate ranges. However, all employees working in <br />classifications of employment covered by this Agreement shall be compensated at an <br />hourly rate. The regular rate of pay shall be computed as provided for by the Fair Labor <br />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 the hourly equivalent of one (1) year (2080 <br />hours) from the date of appointment from an open eligible list (new hire) or a <br />reappointment eligible list (rehire) and the hourly equivalent of six (6) months (1040 <br />hours) from the date of appointment from a 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 "AA" in the salary rate range allocated to the class of employment for which he <br />or she has been hired. In special instances where such new employee possesses unique <br />and exceptional educational training and /or experience qualifications, the Executive <br />Director, under whom the employee will serve, may submit a written request and <br />justification to the City Manager for authorization to place such new employee on Step <br />"A," "B," "C," or "D" within the allocated salary rate range, provided that such employee <br />shall be assigned such salary step upon the commencement of his or her service in the <br />classification of employment to which the salary rate range applies and such assignment <br />having once been made shall remain in effect until the said employee shall be entitled to <br />advance to the next salary step in accordance with the further provisions of this Article. <br />4.7 Service.

Employees hired after the first (I't) 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 tennination of employment.
