A resolution requesting the Metropolitan Civil Service Commission to recommend an amendment to the longevity pay plan for Metropolitan Government employees to remove the requirement that part-time employees work 2,080 hours to be entitled to a year's accumulated service.

WHEREAS, Resolution No. RS2001-642 adopted a longevity pay plan for employees of the Metropolitan Government; and

WHEREAS, although the longevity pay plan is available for part-time employees of the Metropolitan Government, Resolution no. RS2001-642 provides that part-time employees are entitled to a year's accumulated service for each 2,080 hours worked; and

WHEREAS, part-time employees provide an important service to the Metropolitan Government and save the government the employee benefit costs that would otherwise have to be paid for full-time employees performing the same jobs; and

WHEREAS, the council deems it appropriate that part-time employees receive longevity pay in the same manner as full-time employees; and

WHEREAS, since such action would be an amendment to the longevity pay plan, it is appropriate that the Civil Service Commission consider the matter and make a recommendation to the Metropolitan Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:

Section 1. That the Metropolitan County Council hereby goes on record as requesting the Metropolitan Civil Service Commission to recommend an amendment to the longevity pay plan established by Resolution No. RS2001-642 that would remove the requirement that part-time employees work 2,080 hours to be entitled to a year's accumulated service.

Section 2. The Metropolitan Civil Service Commission is further requested to respond to the Council as to the feasibility of and/or action taken in compliance with the request stated in Section 1 hereof not later than sixty (60) days after the adoption of this Resolution.

Section 3. The Metropolitan Clerk is requested to send a copy of this Resolution to each member of the Metropolitan Civil Service Commission.

Section 4. That this Resolution shall take effect from and after its adoption, the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
