WHEREAS, the City Council has authorizedand directed, under the provisions 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 II 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.

approval of the City Manager.
