Resolution 6623 RESOLUTION NO. 6623
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE PERSONNEL
RULES OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1: That Section 5 of RULE VII of the Personnel Rules be amended
to read as follows:
"SECTION 5. PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENTS.
(a) Those original appointments to positions in the Service of the City,
made without competition, after the effective date of the Civil Service
Act and before the adoption of these Rules, shall be considered as Provi-
sional Appointments. After the adoption of these Rules, the persons
occupying these positions shall be required to establish their eligibility
either by individual qualifying examinations or by competition in open
assembled tests, as may be determined by the Personnel Director; provided
that in all cases such persons must meet the minimum requirements of the
class to which their position belongs.
(b) After the adoption of these Rules, in the absence of eligibles from
which regular appointments or transfers may be made, persons meeting as
nearly as practicable the minimum qualifications for vacant positions
may be Provisionally appointed after such investigation and tests as the
Personnel Director shall decide. Such appointments shall continue only
until such time as appropriate eligible lists are established or qualified
persons in the service become available for transfer, but in no case
longer than six (6) months. Successive Provisional Appointments of the
same person shall not be made until six (6) months have elapsed after the
expiration of a preceding Provisional Appointment.
Because of employment conditions arising out of the War, individual
exceptions may be made by the Personnel Director to permit the renewal
of Provisional appointments immediately upon expiration to provide con-
tinuous employment until such time as proper lists can be established
and the positions filled therefrom, but not after January 1, 1949 ex-
cept that the Personnel Board may extend the right to make these ex-
ceptions thereafter for not more than one (1) year at a time."
SECTION 2: That Paragraph (e) of Section 1 of RULE IX of the Personnel
Rules be amended to read as follows:
" (e) The Assignment of an employee for a temporary period from a posi-
tion in one class under one Appointing Officer to a position in another
class under the same or another Appointing Officer may be made in order to
bring about a better distribution of persons in the service, to effect
economies or to provide training. Such Assignments may be made by the
Appointing Officer or Officers affected with the consent of the Personnel
Director, but no employee shall be so assigned to a position involving
duties for which he is not qualified as indicated by his experience, train-
ing and record of service. Assignments to a higher class or compensation
shall be limited to a maximum of six (6) months, and no employee shall be
so assigned to a higher class or compensation for more than six (6) months
in any twelve month period. The time an employee spends under such Assign-
ments shall not be used for computing any rights in any higher classifi-
cation to which he may be so assigned.
Because of employment conditions arising out of the War, individual
exceptions may be made by the Personnel Director to permit the renewal of
Assignments immediately upon expiration to provide continuous employment
until such time as proper eligible lists can be established and the
positions filled therefrom, but not after January 1, 1949 except that the
Personnel Board may extend the right to make these exceptions thereafter
for not more than one (1) year at a time.

SECTION 3: That Paragraph (a) of Section 3 of RULE XII of the Personnel
Rules be amended to read as follows:
" (a) ANNUAL LEAVE: Annual Leave shall be granted to all employees who
have Regular status in any classifications whatsoever at the rate of
twenty (20) days with pay for each full year of service, but shall not
be granted to employees serving under Provisional Appointment nor to
employees serving their original Probationary Period. Annual Leave shall
be used for absences because of sickness or injury, not service connected,
or because of the death or serious illness of a member of the employee' s
immediate family, and for yearly vacation absences. Annual Leave with
pay shall in no case exceed the yearly allowance plus any accumulation
of the employee, except in such cases as the City Manager shall recommend
and the City Council shall approve.
Because of employment conditions arising out of the War, persons
employed on a Provisional Appointment under RULE VII, Section 5 as amended,
or on Substitute Appointment under RULE XV, where such persons have no
Regular status in any classification shall be granted Annual Leave at the
rate of Twenty (20) days for each full year of service, credited at the
end of each full year of continuous service - renewals of Provisional
appointments shall not be construed to break continuity of service. The
provisions of this paragraph shall remain in force until January 1, 1949,
and thereafter shall be subject to extension by the Personnel Board for
not more than one (1) year at a time."
SECTION 4: That sub-paragraph 3 of Paragraph (a) of Section 3 of RULE XII
of the Personnel Rules be amended to read as follows:
"3. Any portion of the Annual Leave of a Regular employee, not otherwise
used shall be accumulated, and after the earned balance of Annual Leave
to the credit of such Regular Employee at the end of the calendar year
shall be such that longer than normal vacations can be granted without the
resulting time charged for such vacation reducing the earned balance
below sixty (60) days, such Regular Employee may be granted a vacation not
to exceed twenty (20) work days. Any earned balance of Annual Leave, in-
cluding credits provided for in Paragraph (a) 4 of this Section, of a
Regular Employee who dies in the service of the City, or who retires under
the terms of any City pension plan, shall be paid to the beneficiary or
employee respectively at the rate of compensation received by such Regular
Employee at the time of his death in service or retirement. Any earned
balance of Annual Leave, deducting therefrom any credit granted under the
provisions of Paragraph (a) 4 of this Section, of a Regular Employee who
resigns in good standing shall be paid to such Regular Employee at the
rate of compensation received by such Regular Employee at the time of his
resignation in good standing, provided that such payment shall not be
made until such time as the resigned Regular Employee shall forfeit his
right to re-employment either by time limitation or by written forfeiture
of all Civil Service rights. Such payment for balance of Annual Leave
payable to a retired Regular employee, a beneficiary of a deceased Regular
employee, or to a resigned Regular employee shall in no case exceed an
amount equal to one year' s compensation at the rate of pay received by
such Regular employee at the time of his retirement, death or resignation.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 18th day of August, A. D. 1948.
