RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
ADOPTING THE BENEFITS PLAN FOR THE CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEE
GROUP AS AMENDED TO ALLOW FOR ON -CALL AND CALL-BACK PAY
FOR THE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN SERIES
IN SUPPORT OF CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS CITY-WIDE.
WHEREAS, although the City of National City is in operation twenty-four (24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week, most support functions, including management information
technology, are on duty forty (40) hours a week, working Monday through Thursday from 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, because of the limited number of budgeted positions, it is not
feasible to organize staff in a manner to allow for a more expanded coverage window, yet it is
imperative that on -call staff be available to respond around the clock to maintain and support
the on -going functions of the City and City staff, especially during emergencies that affect public
safety; and
WHEREAS, one staff member from the Management Information Systems (MIS)
Department (management technician job series) is required to be on -call each week to respond
to emergency calls for service, and in recognition of the limitations placed on the after-hours
activities of an employee serving in an on -call capacity, it is appropriate to include on -call and
call-back pay to the compensation plan for members of this series; and
WHEREAS, consistent with the premium compensation established by the City
Council for applicable members of the Municipal Employees' Association (MEA) group, it is
recommended that the benefits plan for the Confidential Employee Group be amended to allow
for on -call and call-back pay for the Management Information Systems Technical series in
support of critical technology systems city-wide, as follows:
ON -CALL
1. For a normal work day shift, pay shall be the dollar equivalent to one and
one half (1'/2) hours at current hourly rate per each day of on -call status.
2. For a normal weekend shift (Saturday and Sunday), pay shall be the dollar
equivalent to two (2) hours at current hourly rate per each day of on -call
status.
3. For a fixed holiday on which the Civic Center is closed, pay shall be the
dollar equivalent to two and one half (2V2) hours at current hourly rate per
each day of on -call status.
CALL BACK
The City may direct a field response by an employee during other than
normal working hours for emergency purposes which shall constitute a "call-back"
paid at the rate of one and one-half (1%) times the number of hours worked, with
two (2) hours being the minimum for any call-back that requires return to the work
site. Call-back time earned shall not be counted as actual time worked for overtime
purposes.
