benefits of the old age and survivor 's insurance of the Social
Security Act to eligible employees; provided, however , that
officers and employees in the classified Civil Service of Salt
Lake City in the Fire and Police Departments shall be exempted
from such adoption, unless determined otherwise by the Mayor or
unless required by State or Federal Law.
B. Retirement Programs
The City hereby adopts the Utah Retirement Board System for
providing retirement pensions to eligible employees. The City
may permit or require the participation of eligible employees
in it' s retirement program(s) under terms and conditions
established by the Mayor (see Appendix C) . Such programs may
include:
1. The Utah Public Safety Retirement System
2. The Utah Fireman' s Retirement System
3 . The Utah State Retirement System
4. Deferred Compensation Program
5. Retirement Incentive Programs '
The City may deduct from wages and salaries due eligible employees
covered by this section, the payroll deductions determined by the
Mayor to be necessary to fund employee contributions to such
programs. (See Appendix C. )
C. Sick Leave Pay at Retirement
At retirement an employee (or his or her. estate, where death
follows retirement but precedes payment) shall be eligible to
receive a retirement benefit as stipulated in Salt Lake City
Ordinance No. 6 of 1989. Persons who retire under the
eligibility requirements of the Utah State Retirement Systems
and are not eligible under the above referenced Ordinance will
be paid in cash at their then current pay scale, a sum equal to
their daily rate of pay for 25 percent (250) of the accumulated
Compensation Plan: Page 19
sick leave days reserved for the benefit of said employee at
the date of his or her retirement.
In lieu of the above, employee may elect to convert sick leave
privilege to hospital and surgical coverage. 50% of the sick
leave hours available at retirement may be converted to a
dollar allowance at the time of retirement. The sick leave
hours converted to a dollar allowance shall be subject to any
state and federal income and social security tax withholding
required by law. An employee' s available dollar allowance
determines the number of months of medical and surgical
coverage which may be purchased. If insurance costs go up
due to group experience, the number of months of coverage
will decrease.
Such sick leave retirement benefit shall also be available to
executive level employees who have not retired from employment
with the City when employment has been terminated by death or
resignation (provided that in the case of death, benefits shall
be payable to the employee' s survivor) occurring after the date
the employee has become eligible for full service retirement
from the City.
This provision shall not act to reinstate an employee with sick
leave benefits which were in any respect lost, used, or
forfeited prior to the effective date of this plan.
D. LAYOFFS
Whenever it is necessary to reduce the number of employees
performing an activity or function defined by the Mayor or his/her
designee within a City department because of lack of work or lack
of funds, the City shall minimize layoffs by readjustment of per-
sonnel through reassignment of duty in other departments.
1. Whenever layoffs are necessary, emergency, temporary,
probationary and hourly employees performing essentially the
same duties as the aforesaid work activity or functions being
reduced shall be laid off first.
Compensation Plan: Page 20
2. Full-time salaried employees shall be the last to be laid
off in inverse order of the length of service of employees in
the same job classification performing the same job functions
and duties.
3 . Full-time salaried employees designated for layoff or
actually laid off shall move into a vacant equal or lower
classified job position, wherever situated in the City, for
which the employee is qualified. Vacant means the- Department
of Human Resource Management has received a request to fill a
position. Equal or lower classified means that the maximum
salary for the vacant position shall be less than or equal to
the maximum salary for the position being laid off. Said
employee, within the City department in which the layoff
occurs, may also bump less senior, full-time salaried,
temporary or probationary personnel (in a job position and
function previously and actually held by said laid off
employee) for a position said employee is currently qualified
and able to perform as determined by the Department of Human
Resource Management.
4. Employees who have been laid-off shall have rights for a one
year period to placement in any vacant job which is at an equal
or lower classification where they meet minimum qualifications.
They shall not be subject to any further examination. Minimum
qualifications on laid off job positions shall remain unchanged
for the same one year period not restricting changes for
bonafide business and operational purposes.
5. Employees who have been laid off in accordance with the
above shall have the right to pre-bid on positions in the 100
and 200 series for a period of two years. They may also bid
with the same preference as City employees for 300 series
positions for the same two year period.
6. Eligible employees subject to layoff because of lack of work
or lack of funds shall be eligible for reimbursement of 50% of
their accumulated unused sick leave hours.
7. Persons in appointed positions are not eligible for layoff
benefits as they ar.e considered at.-will employees and serve at
the pleasure of the Mayor.
