With this <br />amendment, the Union is proposing the wage table interval for step increases to remain the same. <br />This has been the agreed upon schedule since 2020. Lastly, during an employee's probationary <br />period they may not use Personnel Time Off (PTO) as outlined in Provision 21.2. The Union is <br />proposing the modify this provision to state that PTO use may not be used "within the first six <br />months" to be consistent with the City's personnel policy and to not prohibit time off for the <br />entire duration of an employee's first year of employment. The Personnel Committee and City <br />Attorney have reviewed and recommended approval of the MOU as presented. <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Proposed Memorandum of Understanding — Probationary Period <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
