ORDINANCE NO. 015-23

AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL 

OF THE CITY OF OPELIKA, ALABAMA

WHEREAS, the City of Opelika, Alabama, (the “City”) has previously adopted general provisions pertaining to personnel rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, staffing, separations, disciplinary actions, grievance procedures, compensation and employee benefits, which are set forth in the “Personnel Policies and Procedures of the City of Opelika” (hereinafter referred to as the “Personnel Manual”); and

WHEREAS, City staff has recommended to the City Council that the Personnel Manual be updated at the present time to provide for additional and revised policies and procedures pertaining to the administration of City employees and personnel; and

WHEREAS, the City Council realizes that periodic adjustments must be made to the Personnel Manual in order to keep the manual current and consistent with state and federal labor and employment law requirements as well as policies, procedures, guidelines, rules and regulations established by the City on the local level for employees; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the public health, safety and general welfare to amend the Personnel Manual at this time as recommended by City staff to update certain policies, procedures, guidelines, rules and regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Opelika, Alabama (the “City”) as follows:

Section 1. Amendments. That the Personnel Manual of the City of Opelika, adopted on November 19, 2002, as previously amended, is further amended in the following respect:

(a)That Section 10.4.4.5 is hereby adopted to read as follows: 

Section 10.4.4.5 Non-Disciplinary Suspension During an Investigation and/or Disciplinary Review. 

There are times during an investigation into alleged misconduct it is in the best interest of the City and/or the employee to relieve the employee from duty pending the outcome of the investigation. Pending the resolution of an investigation or disciplinary review, the Department Head, with the approval of the Human Resources Director, may, at their discretion, place the employee on leave with pay if any of the following occur:

(a) The employee’s presence is determined to be a threat to the City, his or her supervisor or fellow employees or City property or equipment;

(b) The employee is alleged to be in violation of the City’s Substance Abuse Policy;

(c) There are allegations of workplace violence, unlawful harassment, unlawful discrimination or retaliation; or 

(d) The employee is part of an external investigation and his or her presence is determined to be a threat to the City, his or her supervisor or fellow employees.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned categories, nothing herein shall limit the Department Head, with the approval of the Human Resources Director to place any employee on leave with pay or allow the employee to remain in his or her position or a modified position pending disciplinary action or the completion of an investigation.

Except as provided herein, leave with pay shall not exceed seven (7) calendar days (or three (3) shifts for Fire personnel) in order to determine if any disciplinary action is warranted. The Department Head shall notify Human Resources in advance of placing an employee on administrative leave for investigative purposes. If additional time is needed to complete the investigation (as determined on a case-by-case basis in the collective opinion of the Department Head, the Human Resources Director and the Mayor), the Mayor may approve additional time of investigatory leave for the employee up to the greater of fourteen (14) calendar days for regular service employee or five (5) shifts for Fire personnel from the conclusion of the investigation.

While on administrative leave or suspension with pay due to an investigation, an employee is expected to be available during normally scheduled working hours to be contacted or called in to work by the employee’s Department Head, supervisor or the Human Resources Department. The Department Head will ensure that such time will be reported on the Department’s attendance as administrative leave (investigation).

Administrative suspension with pay is not a disciplinary action and shall not be subject to appeal. The employee shall be compensated at his or her regular rate of pay from the date of suspension until the employee receives the Department Head’s finding of the investigation.

(b) That Section 10.4.4.6.6 is hereby amended to read as follows: 

Section 10.4.4.6 Non-Disciplinary Suspension for Alleged Criminal Conduct. 

Employees are required to notify their Department Head and the Human Resources Department of any criminal arrest (except minor traffic offenses) and/or convictions within forty-eight (48) hours of such arrest or conviction. The Human Resources Department will investigate and determine if the nature of the arrest, conviction and/or underlying facts or conduct that form the basis for the criminal charge is related to the job which the employee performs and if that relationship could warrant any disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, pending the investigation into and/or the resolution of any alleged criminal conduct, the Department Head, with the approval of the Human Resources Director, may, at their discretion, place the employee on leave without pay if any of the following occur:

(a)The employee is formally charged with a criminal offense and is incarcerated. (The employee may also be subject to discipline based on an unauthorized absence and any violations of Personnel Rule Sections 8.2.2(a) and 10.6.)

(b) The employee is unable to effectively perform his or her job due to the charge or conviction; 

(c) The law enforcement investigation is hampered by the employee’s presence at work; 

(d) There is a risk to the City or interference with the City’s ability to conduct business; 

(e) There are allegations of theft, fraud or embezzlement of City property or services (including property leased to the City or otherwise in possession of the City); 

(f) The employee is charged with a misdemeanor crime involving moral turpitude or marijuana, drug paraphernalia or any controlled substance; or

(g) The employee is charged with any felony crime.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned categories, nothing herein shall limit the Department Head, with the approval of the Human Resources Director to allow the employee to use vacation leave or to authorize administrative leave pending disciplinary action or pending the legal adjudication process upon written request by the employee. The employee is entitled to a due process determination hearing before the suspension without pay under Section 8.6; however, the employee must request a hearing within three (3) calendar days of the notice of proposed suspension without pay. If the employee fails to request a due process hearing or the Department Head determines, after holding a hearing, that the facts support the suspension without pay, it will become effective on the date and time as specified by the Department Head. If the Department Head, after holding a hearing, determines that a suspension without pay is not warranted, the employee will receive backpay for any unpaid days, if any, leading up to the decision. The due process hearing for law enforcement officers shall also comply with Ala. Code § 11-43-230.

The approval of the Mayor is required for administrative leave without pay exceeding ten (10) calendar days or three (3) shifts for Fire personnel, unless authorized.

Total non-disciplinary suspension without pay under this section may not exceed thirty (30) calendar days. Regardless of the status of any criminal investigation or process, the Department Head may initiate disciplinary charges against the employee under these Rules at any time, up to and including termination based upon the facts of evidence of conduct that prompted the criminal investigation or process.

As required by the Fair Labor Standards Act, exempt employees shall only be placed on leave without pay in increments of a full day if the behavior of the employee constitutes serious workplace misconduct as indicated above or as determined by the Human Resources Director. If the conduct of the exempt employee does not constitute an infraction of workplace conduct rules,

 the exempt employee shall be placed on leave without pay in increments of full workweeks. 

Section 2. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are severable. If any section, subsection, clause, sentence or phrase of this ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, then said holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

Section 3.  Cumulative of All Other Ordinances. The provisions of this ordinance are cumulative of all other ordinances or parts of ordinances governing or regulating the subject matter as covered herein, provided, however, that all prior ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with or in conflict with any of the provisions of this ordinance are hereby expressly repealed to the extent of any such inconsistency or conflict.

Section 4   Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective upon its passage, approval and publication as required by law. 

Section 5. Publication. The City Clerk of the City of Opelika, Alabama is hereby authorized and directed to cause this Ordinance to be published one (1) time in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Opelika, Lee County, Alabama.
