Sec. 4.92. Salary Step Advancement

(f) Provisions applicable to part-time and intermittent employees:
(1) The initial salary step advancement for a part-time employee (half-time or more but less than full-time) in a position compensated on salary range shall be in the payroll period following the completion of 520 hours and six months of service. Each subsequent step advancement shall be in the payroll period following the completion of 1040 additional hours and one additional year of service. Hours of service credit in excess of those required for step advancement in a time period shall be carried forward for credit in the next time period.

(2) Intermittent employees or part-time employees exempted from Civil Service provisions by Charter Section 1001 shall be paid a rate corresponding to the entering step in the salary range for the classification in which the employee is employed. Full-time of half-time employees changing to intermittent status in the same Civil Service class shall continue to be paid at the same rate as which they were last paid while a full/half time employee.

Sec. 4.110. Part-time Employment.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.117 of this Code and in any Memoranda of Understanding or Departmental Personnel Ordinances to the contrary, a work schedule of less than the number of hours of full-time employment shall be considered part-time employment.

The following categories of part-time employment are hereby defined:

(a) Half-time: Half-time employees are employees regularly assigned to a work schedule of half-time (1040 hours) or more in any service year, but less than full-time. Compensation shall be prorated on the basis of the total number of hours scheduled to be worked in relationship to the total number of hours required for full-time employment in the class of position. Benefits for such half-time employees provided in this Code shall apply to these employees on a prorated basis.

(b) Intermittent: Intermittent employees are employees assigned to a regular or on-call work schedule of less than half of the available working time (less than 1040 hours ) in any service year. Employees who are compensated by the session and employees who hold more than one intermittent position concurrently, regardless of total number of hours scheduled, shall be considered intermittent employees. Compensation as established in Schedule “A” herein shall be considered full remuneration for intermittent employees defined by this section, except for compensated personal time off benefits as provided in Section 4.110.1 of this Code.

Sec. 4.110.1 Compensated Personal Time Off Benefits for Intermittent Employees.

Intermittent non-representative employees shall be eligible to accrue compensated time off (CPTO) at a rate of 2.75 minutes for every hour compensated. Employees must complete a period of six consecutive months of City service and must have been compensated for at least 500 hours before qualifying to use the CPTO. This benefit may be used in no less than one-hour increments for the following:

1. Sick leave;

2. Personal business, subject to approval of the supervisor;

3. Holidays assigned off. When a holiday falls on an employee’s assigned schedule and the employee is not required to work on that holiday, an employee may request to use CPTO. If the qualifying employees choose not to use CPTO for the holiday, the employees may be allowed, subject to the approval of the supervisor, to adjust their work schedules and make up the time in full not later than the next succeeding payroll period.

CPTO may be accumulated for up to a maximum of 48 hours. Any time accumulated in excess of such amount shall be deemed waived and lost.
