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. ., 1 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.
