12 Section 10. Volunteers EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERS Employees who wish to be involved with City activities during non-working hours must be registered volunteers. Employees can become registered volunteers by completing an application and receiving subsequent approval from the City Administrator. This approval includes all activities either on or away from the City facilities. This approval will indicate the nature and the extent of the volunteer's activities. Hourly employees may not volunteer for activities that are identified as "essential duties" of their regular paid job. Any Hourly employee who believes that the City has failed to correctly compensate him or her for overtime actually worked must notify his or her Department Director of such possible error within thirty (30) days following the receipt of any pay which the employee believes was calculated incorrectly. CITIZEN NON-EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERS It is the policy of the City to provide opportunities for volunteers and students so that they can gain practical and professional experience or so that they may simply have an opportunity to help the community we live in. This classification includes volunteer firefighters and EMT's. Although, in the case of firefighters and EMT's, the City may choose to provide a small stipend to help defray the costs of volunteer service, volunteers are not employees of the City. Nothing in this Policy shall be deemed to create a contract between the volunteer, intern, or Community Service Worker and the City. Both the volunteer and the City have the right to terminate the volunteer's association with the City at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. To be accepted as volunteers, candidates must complete a Volunteer Application form, undergo a reference check, and may be interviewed by the City Administrator or hiring authority. If appropriate placements can be made, volunteers and students will be assigned to work under a supervisor, who will see that they adhere to a work schedule, are evaluated (students only), and observe the same rules and code of conduct as all regular employees of the City. Section 11. Transfers In order to provide management the flexibility to accomplish Department/Program goals and objectives, and to give current employees the opportunity to apply their experience and education to a different position or to achieve a promotion, it is the Policy of the City to provide for the transfer of existing employees to other Position Classifications in the Department/Program, or, with the approval of the City Administrator, between Departments When a position vacancy occurs, and a current employee has the required credentials, education and experience and has demonstrated a high level of performance, the Department Director may offer the position to this fully qualified individual. If the employee is interested in the opportunity, the employee's personnel record must show that they possess the experience, knowledge, skills and education to meet the Minimum Qualifications of the Position Description of the new position. All transfers shall be subject to review and approval by the City Administrator. An employee, who is transferred, will have his or her compensation adjusted to the Salary Range of the new Position Classification. Determination of the specific starting salary will reflect the employee's experience and qualifications, and consideration of internal equity with current employees in the classification. A current employee who is transferred to another position will be required to complete an Introductory Period, in accordance with Chapter 1, Section 7 of this Manual. The transferred employee will progress within the new classification pay range, based upon job performance.
