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 resulting <br />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 shall be paid the rate shown as Step "AAA" in the <br />salary rate range allocated to the classification of employment for which he or she has been <br />hired. In special instances where such new employee possesses unique and exceptional <br />educational training and/or experience qualifications, the Department Head, under whom <br />the employee will serve, may submit a written request and justification to the City Manager <br />for authorization to place such new employee on Step "AA," "A," "B," "C," or "D" within <br />the allocated salary rate range, provided that such employee shall be assigned such salary <br />step upon the commencement of his or her service in the classification of employment to <br />which the salary rate range applies and such assignment having once been made shall <br />remain in effect until the said employee shall be entitled to advance to the next salary step <br />in accordance with the further provisions of this Article. <br />4.7 Service. The word "service" as used in this MOU shall be deemed to mean continuous, <br />full-time service in the classification in which the employee is being considered for salary <br />advancement, service in a higher classification or service in a classification allocated to the <br />same salary rate range and having generally similar duties and requirements. Employees <br />hired after the first (0) working day of the month shall not be credited with "time in <br />service" for that month when determining the length of service required for salary step <br />advancement. A lapse of service by an employee for a period of time longer than thirty <br />(30) calendar days by reason of resignation, quit, or discharge, shall serve to eliminate the <br />accumulated length of service time of such employee for the purposes of this MOU, and <br />such employee reentering the service of the City shall be considered as a new employee, <br />except when he or she is being or will be reappointed within one (1) year and placed in the <br />same salary step in the appropriate salary rate as he or she was at the time of termination <br />of employment. "Resignation, quit, or discharge" for purposes of this section shall mean <br />separating from full-time City employment altogether, not leaving one position to accept <br />appointment to another position in an unrelated classification outside the career ladder. <br />10 <br />25B-12 <br />
