14 work in circumstances which violate the provisions of this policy are subject to this regulation. In such circumstances, the City will make reasonable efforts to reassign job duties so as to minimize problems of supervision, safety, security and morale. If no reasonable effort will alleviate the violation, the City will determine whether and under what conditions an employee may be permitted to remain in his/her current position. In applying this paragraph, the City will choose which of the employees will be affected, with primary consideration given to the operational needs of the City, including interests of economy, efficiency and effectiveness, and giving consideration to the work history and seniority of the employees affected. Application of this provision may result in one or both employees being required to: a) find employment in another department; orb) resign. Part-time, temporary or seasonal employees may be excluded from this provision with prior approval of the City Administrator in the event that another candidate or applicant cannot reasonably provide the necessary services. Employees are responsible for advising their Director if they are related to another City employee as defined in this policy. Section 14. Employment of Minors The City has established this Policy to regulate the hiring of Minors. As a general rule, employees of the City must be 18 years of age or older. Occasionally, the City may hire students or others who are as young as 14 years old, but this is done only under special conditions, usually under the provisions of a grant agreement, and must be approved by the City Administrator's Office. In no case will Minors be permitted to work in any occupation declared to be hazardous or detrimental to their health or well being by the U.S. Secretary of Labor. Minors younger than 18 years of age must provide a signed, Parental Permission Form to the City in order to work, including a parental permission for the provision of emergency medical care. • Minors who are 16 or 17 years old may perform any non-hazardous job for unlimited hours. • When school is in session, 14 and 15 year olds may work up to three (3) hours per day on school days, including Fridays; they cannot work more than 18 hours per week in school weeks; more than 8 hours a day on non-school days; more than 40 hours per week when school is not in session. • 14 and 15 year olds may not work before 7:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m., except from June 1 through Labor Day when their permissible hours are extended to 9:00 p.m. Under a special provision, 14 and 15 year olds who are enrolled in an approved Work Experience and Career Exploration Program may be employed for up to 23 hours during school weeks and 3 hours on school days (including during school hours). Students and/or minors who hold stipend assignments must satisfy the training program requirements of the position and the conduct of the services to ensure compliance wit the associated regulations for stipends. All other positions for students are considered employment and associated tax withholding will be maintained. Section 15. Reduction-In-Force (RIF) If it becomes necessary for the City to reduce the number of City employees because of economic conditions, termination of a grant, organizational changes, lack of funds, lack of work or other circumstances the Director may implement adjustments in staff levels by means of a personnel RIF.
