Staff recommends that Council adopt a Revision to the Management and Professional
Compensation Plan (Management Comp Plan) for employee at the top of their salary range to
be eligible for additional leave hours.
ĂĐŬŐƌŽƵŶĚ
The Management and Professional Compensation Plan “Management Comp Plan” specifies the
terms and conditions of employment for unrepresented managers on a Citywide basis. The
Management Comp Plan was initially established and adopted under a Council resolution and is
amended from time-to-time by a vote by the Council. The Management Comp Plan is also
incorporated by reference in certain Employment Agreements with individual managers and
referenced in the agreement with represented Utilities Management. It is necessary to amend
the plan at this time to allow additional Management Leave hours for merit, recruitment or
retention purposes.
ŝƐĐƵƐƐŝŽŶ
The Management Compensation Plan specifies that Managers are to receive performance
evaluations and to be eligible for adjustments to base compensation (often referred to as merit
awards). Here is an excerpt of specific language from the Management Compensation Plan:
“…Management/professional employees who have received an overall
rating of "Meets", “Higher” or "Exceeds" expectations on their annual
review and who have not been on a performance improvement plan
during the preceding fiscal year will be eligible for an adjustment to base
compensation.”
This provision, unfortunately, does not provide a method for managers at the top of their salary
range to receive a merit adjustment. As a result, highly productive and experienced managers
at the top of the range are unable to receive a merit award in the same manner as their peers.
14
Packet Pg. 168
City of Palo Alto Page 2
To correct this misalignment in the merit adjustment process, it is recommended that the
Management Comp Plan be revised to provide managers at the top of the range who are rated
as meeting meets expectations or higher, to receive the equivalent merit adjustment in the
form of a one-time allocation of additional management leave hours.
This change would allow appointing authorities to recognize productive and experienced
managers at the top of the range with a form of recognition based on performance and support
the City’s recruitment and retention goals.
ZĞƐŽƵƌĐĞ/ŵƉĂĐƚ
Awarding managers at the top of the range with an equivalent amount of leave hours will not
incur an additional cost if the manager is not backfilled when taking the additional leave.
However, in some instances, managers will require a backfill or may alternatively cash out the
leave if they are unable to take the time, such as when staffing does not permit the absence of
the manager.
For the 2021 merit cycle, managers are eligible for a 3% merit award for performance that
meets expectations or higher. Under this 3% scenario, it is anticipated that the general fund
impact will range from $370,000 to $435,000 above the adopted budget for FY 2021, of which
an estimated $50,000 would be related to the adoption of this revision. Staff are working to
absorb these costs within existing funds due to vacancy savings. Currently 23 vacancies in this
employee group exist, and the salary savings may serve as an offset.

As used in this Plan, the term “Management and Professional” refers to all employees, including
Confidential employees, previously classified as “Management and Confidential” by the City. This
group will hereafter be identified as “Management and Professional” personnel.
^d/KE/͘KDWE^d/KE
This section applies to all management and professional employees and does not include Council
Members or Council-appointed officers. Each Council-appointed officer shall be the responsible
decision-maker under this Plan for those employees in departments under his/her control.
͘ DE'DEdEWZK&^^/KE>KDWE^d/KEWK>/z
The City's policy for management and professional compensation is to establish and maintain a
general structure based on marketplace norms and internal job alignment with broad
compensation grades and ranges. Structures and ranges will be reviewed and updated as
necessary based on marketplace survey data, internal relationships, and City financial
conditions.
Individual compensation adjustments will be considered by the Council-appointed officer based
on (1) performance factors including achievement of predetermined objectives; (2) pay
structure adjustments; and (3) City financial conditions.
͘ ^/W>E>DEd^
1. Structure. The compensation plan includes separate multi-grade structures for both
management and professional employees. Each grade will have a salary range with a mid-point
which is 20% above the minimum, and 20% below the maximum of the range. All management
and professional positions will be assigned an appropriate pay grade based on salary survey data
and internal relationships. Actual salary within the range is determined by experience and
performance.
Competitive marketplace studies will be conducted as needed by surveying a maximum of 14
organizations similar to Palo Alto in number of employees, funding mechanisms, population
and services provided. These studies will focus on total compensation for management
positions such as first line supervisors, administrative, confidential, professional and top
management. Periodically, studies will include position-by-position comparisons using market
research and internal equity data. The results of these studies may indicate that the entire pay
grade structure be adjusted, that individual positions be reassigned to different pay grades, or
that no change
14.a
Packet Pg. 172
2
takes place. Such adjustments will only affect the salary administration framework. No
individual salaries will be automatically changed because of structural adjustments.
A department director may request that HR reevaluate a job or jobs in his or her department
based on significant and permanent changes in job content. In doing so the director will supply
needed information and will provide a position description questionnaire as requested. The
Chief People Officer will respond to such requests within his or her discretion.
2. Compensation Adjustment Authorization. The City Manager may propose as part of the
budget process for Council approval of a compensation adjustment based on (1) competitive
market data, (2) changes in internal position relationships, (3) the City's ability to pay, and (4) a
recommendation received from the Chief People Officer. Effective the first pay period following
Council adoption of this plan all classifications will receive a three percent (3%) salary increase.
a)Base Compensation. Compensation for management and professional employees includes
bi-weekly base salary and is paid on a continuing basis. On a fiscal year basis, the bi-weekly
base salary must fall within pay grade limits of no less than 20% below the mid-point and no
more than 20% above the mid-point.
Base salary increases are earned and authorized in accordance with administrative
guidelines based upon growth within the position and performance, which must meet or
exceed position standards defined through the performance planning and appraisal process
described in subsection b below, the salary structure and the City’s ability to pay.
Management/professional employees who have received an overall rating of "Meets", “Higher”
or "Exceeds" expectations on their annual review and who have not been on a performance
improvement plan during the preceding fiscal year will be eligible for an adjustment to base
compensation. Nothing herein shall preclude an employee's manager from awarding a mid-point
adjustment increase to an employee on a performance plan at a later date should employee's
performance improve.
b)Performance Planning and Appraisal. Performance appraisals will be conducted at the end
of each fiscal year during the months of July through September 30 each year prior to
determining individual employee fixed compensation. This process includes both review of
previous performance plan and preparation of the performance plan for the next planning
period (usually the fiscal year). Performance plans are jointly prepared by the employee and
supervisor with the concurrence of the department head or Council-appointed officer. The
performance plans shall contain measurable objectives which place special emphasis on
position description duties or specific assignments. Progress toward meeting objectives
14.a
Packet Pg. 173
5
shall be monitored periodically. The performance appraisals should be implemented in a
manner that will achieve the following objectives:
•Define the employee’s job duties and expected level of performance for the next
review period to ensure that both the employee and supervisor have a clear
understanding of the employee’s role and responsibilities;
•Evaluate and document past performance to serve as a basis for establishing and
obtaining future performance standards/objectives;
•Facilitate two-way communication and understanding between the employee and his
or her supervisor;
•Counsel and encourage employees to work toward a learning development plan and
realize their full potential;
•Establish future work plan objectives.
Work plans should include job related projects or special goals related to regular job duties
when applicable. At the conclusion of the fiscal year (or review period), supervisors shall
make a final determination of the overall performance rating.
Recommendations shall be forwarded to department heads and to the Chief People Officer
or appropriate Council appointed officer who will then determine individual fixed
adjustments according to the provisions of the compensation plan. Each department will
ensure that metrics tie to the performance appraisal. The performance planning and
appraisal process should be completed by September 30.

If a regular employee and/or the employee’s dependent(s) are eligible for and elect to receive
medical insurance through another non-City of Palo Alto employer-sponsored or association
medical plan, the employee may choose to waive his/her right to the City of Palo Alto’s medical
insurance and receive cash payments in the amount of $284.00.

• Employee is eligible to enroll his or her spouse or register his or her domestic partner
with the California Secretary of State and waives medical coverage for the spouse or
domestic partner; or
• Employee has additional eligible dependents and waives family-level medical
coverage.
Participation must result in a health insurance cost savings to the City and payments per
employee shall not exceed a total of two hundred eighty four dollars ($284.00) per month. To
participate in the program the employee and dependents must be eligible for coverage under
PEMHCA medical plans, complete a waiver of medical coverage form, and provide proof of
eligible alternative medical coverage. When a City employee is married to or has a registered
domestic partner with the California Secretary of State with another City employee, each shall

Payments will be made in the employee’s paycheck beginning the first month following the
employee’s completion of the waiver form. Payments are subject to state and federal taxes and
are not considered earnings under PERS law. Employees are responsible for notifying the City of
any change in status affecting eligibility for this program (for example, life changes affecting

1, 2005, if the member does not utilize the plan during the current year, the percentage
14.a
Packet Pg. 179
11

any amounts designated and not used by the end of the calendar year (or end of the
extended grace period for the medical FSA) will be forfeited by the employee and returned
to the plan.
Specified amounts under this benefit will be applied on a pro-rated basis for employees who
are part-time or who are in a management or professional pay status for less than the full
fiscal year. Such benefits will be pro-rated in the first year of employment (based on hire
date) but will not be pro-rated upon separation of employment.
City will explore options including a deferred compensation match up to $4000 through a pre-tax
retirement savings account as a replacement for Professional Development in Section 1 and Excess
Benefit as provided under Section 2.

d)Employees that were hired before December 1, 1983 and who leave the municipal
service in good standing, or who die while employed in good standing by the city, and
who have 15 or more years of continuous service shall receive compensation for
unused sick leave hours in a sum equal to two and one-half percent (2½%) of their

2. Management Annual Leave
a)Exempt Employees
Regular management and professional employees will be credited with 80 hours of
annual leave. This leave is granted in recognition of the extra hours Management and
Professional employees work over their regular schedule. This leave may be taken as
paid time off, added to vacation accrual (subject to vacation accrual limitations),
taken as cash or taken as deferred compensation. When time off is taken under this
provision, 10-hour shift workers will receive one shift off for each 8 hours charged;
24-hour shift workers will receive one-half (½) shift off for each 8 hours charged.
14.a
Packet Pg. 185

In 2012, the City transitioned this benefit from a fiscal to calendar year basis for
administrative purposes. Beginning in 2013 and each calendar year thereafter,
employees will be credited with 80 hours of management annual leave.
Entitlement under this provision will be reduced on a prorated basis for part-time
status, or according to the number of months in paid status during the year;
employees who have used more than the pro-rated share at the time they leave City
service shall be required to repay the balance or have it deducted from their final
check. Unused balances as of the end of the year will be paid in cash unless a different
option as indicated above is elected by the employee.
Council appointed Officers can, at their discretion, award additional management
annual leave to employees. Award of additional leave is intended to acknowledge
and recognize excellent performance and/or longevity in alignment with the annual
merit cycle.
b)Non-Exempt Employees
Based on an audit recommendation to eliminate payment of overtime as well as
management leave for non-exempt employees in the management group, the City is
transitioning away from providing management leave to non-exempt employees. As
part of the transition, and in order to minimize impacts to current employees, the
City will phase-out elimination of the 80 hours of management leave for all current
non-exempt Management and Professional employees (those eligible to earn
overtime). Beginning on July 1, 2014 all employees in non-exempt positions will
receive overtime pay for hours actually worked, but will no longer receive
management leave.
Employees hired into non-exempt management positions on or after February 26,
2011 will receive overtime only and will not be eligible for management leave.
3. Vacation
Vacation will be accrued when an employee is in pay status and will be credited on a bi-
weekly basis. Total vacation accrual at any one time may not exceed three (3) times the
annual rate of accrual. Each eligible employee shall accrue vacation at the following rate for
continuous service performed in pay status:
a)Less than nine (9) years. For employees completing less than nine (9) years
continuous service: 120 hours vacation leave per year; provided that:
i.The City Manager is authorized to adjust department head annual vacation
accrual to provide for a maximum of 160 hours for those hired between July
1, 1996 and June 30, 2001; and

employer.

b) Nine (9), but less than fourteen (14) years. For employees completing nine (9), but

(14), but not more than nineteen (19) years continuous service; 180 hours vacation
leave per year.
d) Nineteen (19) or more years. For employees completing nineteen (19) or more years
continuous service; 200 hours vacation leave per year.
e) Employees are eligible to cash out vacation accrual balances in excess of 80 hours.
An employee may cash out a minimum of eight (8) hours to a maximum of 120 hours
of accrued vacation provided the employee has taken 80 vacation hours in the
previous 12 months and has followed the election procedures set forth in this section.
Employees must elect the number of vacation hours they will cash-out during the
next calendar year, up to the maximum of 120 hours. For the 2012 calendar vacation
year, employees will make their election for vacation hours to cash out no later than
November 1, 2012. The election will apply only to vacation hours that are accrued in
the next calendar year and that are eligible for cash-out.
The election to cash-out vacation hours in each designated year will be irrevocable.
This means that employees who elect to cash-out vacation hours must cash-out the
number of accrued hours pre-designates on the election form.
Employees who do not elect a cash-out amount by November 1 of the prior calendar
year will be deemed to have waived the right to cash out any leave in the following
tax year and will not be eligible to cash-out vacation hours in the next tax year
Employees who elect cash-out amounts may request a cash-out at any time in the
designated tax year by submitting a cash-out form to payroll. Payroll will complete
the cash-out upon request, provided the requested cash-out amount has accrued and
is consistent with the amount the employee pre-designated. If the full amount of
hours designated for cash-out is not available at the time of cash-out request, the
maximum available will be paid. For employees who have not requested cash-out of
the elected amount by November 1 of each year, Payroll will automatically cash-out
the elected amount in a paycheck issued on or after the payroll date including
November 1.
4. Bereavement
Leave of absence with pay of three (3) days may be granted an employee by the head of

leave in excess of three days shall be subject to the approval of a Council-Appointed Officer
for employees under his/her control.
5. Use of accrued leave credits during leaves of absence.
During unpaid leaves of absence for disability or other reasons, the employee may elect
and the City may require the employee to use accrued paid vacation and sick leave in a
manner consistent with state and federal law. Requests for leaves without pay shall not be
unreasonably denied. In order to avoid misunderstandings, all leaves without pay must be
in writing to be effective.
