RESOLUTION NO. 1559
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
ESTABLISHING A BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN, ESTABLISHING
SALARIES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES PLACED UNDER THE BASIC
COMPENSATION PLAN; ESTABLISHING SALARIES FOR CITY
EMPLOYEES NOT PLACED UNDER THE BASIC COMPENSATION
PLAN: AND REPEALING ALL CONFLICTING RESOLUTIONS
OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, Section 37206 of the Government Code requires the City Council
to prescribe the time and method of paying salaries and wages of officers
and employees of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has authorized and directed, under the pro-
visions of the Cypress City Code and Resolution No. 703, the preparation
of a Compensation Plan for all employees in the municipal service of the
City of Cypress.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Cypress as follows:
SECTION 1: Basic Compensation Plan
All employees of the City of Cypress, except the City Manager, City
Attorney, City Treasurer, Department Heads, Division Heads, Assistants
to the City Manager, and temporary and seasonal employees, are included
in a Basic Compensation Plan. Every position under this plan shall be
assigned a Range Number established by the City Council in the annual budget
or appropriate resolution. This Range Number shall be as shown on the
salary schedule described in Section 2 below. The salary schedule shall
consist of five (5) steps within each range, except when otherwise specified.
(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 adjustment which may be 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 adjustment 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 the City Manager. Such approval by the City
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 normally 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 the City Manager.
(d) All rates shown are in full payment for services rendered and
cover full payment for the number of hours now being regularly worked in
each class. Employees engaged for less than full-time shall be paid a
proportionate part of these salaries, or by an hourly rate of pay that
falls within these ranges.
(e) The comprehensive wage and salary plan, as outlined herein, is
based on a forty (40) hour work week for all full-time employees.
