City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy Effective February 29,2016 GIVE ADVANCE NOTICE WHEN USING UNSCHEDULED PERSONAL TIME OFF An employee must notify their supervisor as early as possible if using unscheduled Personal Time Off. Except in unusual cases, he/she should talk directly with their supervisor to be sure that their supervisor receives the message. HELP KEEP THE WORK AREA AND EQUIPMENT IN GOOD ORDER It is necessary to maintain sanitary and healthful conditions throughout the buildings and offices. Good housekeeping promotes good workmanship and safety. Equipment must be kept in order, the floor free of litter and the general rules of housekeeping observed. Be neat in your personal appearance. PERFORM THE JOB PROPERLY Supervisors are responsible for directing the work. They will answer any questions or clarify any assigned duties, which an employee does not understand. Every employee should take pride in their work and perform their Job carefully and according to instructions. All necessary information should be passed on to relief operators in order that they may continue the operation without interruption or confusion. BE AN EXAMPLE The conduct of each individual shall be beyond criticism as a public employee. Good conduct not only allows the employee to protect himself/herself from censure, but also helps to make the whole organization to be one of pride to the community. BE POLITE No employee should let the weight of their job affect their personality. A cheerful, polite attitude not only makes work easier, but also makes it easier for fellow workers to work with the employee. DRESS CODE Because all City staff interact with the public on a regular basis, it is important for all employees to represent the City by dressing in a professional manner. Each City employee should dress in a department issued uniform or in a "Business Casual" fashion. Personal appearance should be appropriate to the nature of the work and contacts with other people and should present a positive image to the public. Clothing, jewelry or other items that could present a safety hazard are not acceptable in the workplace. The City recognizes special job assignments or special duties of a particular job may require an employee to wear non-business casual clothing. Approval must be received from your supervisor for non-business casual clothing. The City has adopted a casual Friday policy which allows an employee to wear jeans. In the event an employee arrives at work inappropriately dressed or groomed, the employee will be sent home to change into appropriate clothing, and will be expected to use PTO for the lost time during the work day. 13
