conditions of employment for the Confidential Employees Group, attached hereto as Exhibit "A",

PROPOSED CHANGES IN WAGES, HOURS, AND
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
FOR CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES GROUP
HOLIDAYS
a. Fixed holidays falling on a regularly scheduled workday will be based on the
employee's assigned daily work schedule. Floating holidays will be paid in eight (8)
hour increments.
b. In the event a fixed holiday falls on an employee's regular work day, if the employee is
not required to work, such employees shall be compensated at straight time equal to
the number of hours the employee would have been assigned to work.
HEALTH CARE
Effective January 1, 2015, Confidential employees will be eligible to receive $10 per month for
each year of service with the City as the City's contribution towards medical insurance if the
employee: retires from the City of National City; is working in a Confidential employee group
classification at the time of retirement; and has 20 full years of pensionable service credit with
the City of National City.
COMPENSATION
a. Two before tax payments each equal to 3% of the employee's salary step at the time
of payment. Payment shall be made in the first full pay period following City Council
approval; and in the first full pay period following July 1, 2015. The retention incentive
shall not be reported as compensation to CaIPERS.
• Confidential employees must have at least one full consecutive year of service in
a Confidential classification in order to be eligible.
• Confidential employees with less than one year of service at the time the City
Council approves the Compensation Plan shall receive their 3% retention
incentive in the pay period after reaching their one year anniversary. The City
shall have no obligation to pay a retention incentive to any employee who does
not reach his/her one year anniversary with the City.
• The employee may choose to contribute part or all of the retention incentive into
their 457 deferred Compensation Plan account or convert (all or part of) their
incentive into vacation hours.
b. The current collective bargaining agreement between the City and MEA includes a
provision allowing for a reopener on the issue of salary increase for fiscal year 2016.
The agreement does not bind the City to grant a salary increase to any classification
represented by MEA. As written, the provision allows either side to request that both
parties come to the table and confer on the subject of wages. If such conference
results in a general salary increase or upward cost of living adjustment, said increase
or adjustment will be applied to employees in the Confidential employee group at an
equal percentage.
All other existing provisions of the Compensation Plan remain the same.
