All employees of the City of Cypress, except the City Manager, City Attorney
and City Treasurer, are included in a comprehensive wage and salary plan.
Each position in the service of the City shall be assigned a range number
established by the City Council in the annual budget. This range number shall
be as shown on the attached salary schedule entitled "City of Cypress Salary
Schedule ". The salary schedule consists of five (5) steps within each range.
Any increase in range number authorized by the City Council will be treated
and considered as a merit increase and sections (a), (b), and (c) will be
applicable to the range increase depending upon the respective step position
of any employee within the range increased.
a. The first step is the minimum rate and is normally the hiring rate for
the class. An employee may be assigned, upon appointment, to other than the
normal entering salary step upon the recommendation of the City Manager when it
is decided that such action is in the best interests of the City.
b. The second step is an automatic adjustment which is given at the end
of the employee's probationary period, except for Police Officers, who shall
be eligible for the second step at the completion of the six month period if
recommended by the department head. Other employees are eligible for this adjust-
ment after the completion of six months of service at the first step. The
adjustment shall be made only if recommended by the department head and if
approved by theCity Manager. Such approval by theCity Manager signifies
that the employee, other than a Police Officer, is considered a permanent
City employee.
c. The third, fourth and fifth steps are incentive adjustments to encourage
an employee to improve his work and to recognize seniority and increased skill
on the job. Employees are eligible for these adjustments any time after the
completion of one year of service at the preceding step. Each adjustment shall
be made only if recommended by the department head and if approved by theCity
Manager.

time shall be paid a proportionate part of
of pay that falls within these ranges.
e. Each employee will not advance automatically from year to year without
regard to quality of service. The success of the plan depends upon incentives
which willencourage employees to put forth increasing efforts as they advance
through the steps of the Plan.

ona 40 hour work week for all full time employees.
