<br />DRAFT <br />SECTION 15 - EMPLOYEE CONDUCT <br /> <br />SECTION 15.01 - General <br /> <br />Employees are expected to use common sense and reasonable judgment in guiding their behavior <br />on the job. Courtesy, tact and consideration must guide each employee in his/her relationship with <br />fellow employees and the public. <br /> <br />SECTION 15.02 - Attendance <br /> <br />Employees must be at their places of work in accordance with City and department policies and <br />regulations. Department heads will establish work schedules and maintain daily employee <br />attendance records. <br /> <br />SECTION 15.03 - Work Standards <br /> <br />The City requires that each employee conduct himself/herself in a manner that facilitates the <br />effective accomplishment of the work of the City. Employees are expected to follow any reasonable <br />request made by his/her supervisor. The employee is expected to observe at all times the <br />requirements of courtesy, consideration, and promptness in dealing with the public and with persons <br />or organizations having business with the City and with fellow employees. Employees may not <br />engage in outside activity while on duty. <br /> <br />Any employee who is arrested for any criminal offense must report such arrest to their department <br />head within 72 hours of arrest or next report to work, whichever is earlier. An employee who fails <br />to report an arrest could result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. <br /> <br />If work habits, attitude, production and/or personal conduct of any employee fall below appropriate <br />standards, supervisors should point out the deficiencies at the time they are observed. Counseling <br />and warning the employee in sufficient time for improvement will ordinarily precede formal <br />disciplinary action, but nothing herein prevents immediate formal action as provided elsewhere in <br />these policies whenever the interest of the City requires such action. <br /> <br />SECTION 15.04 - Political Activities <br /> <br />City employees are neither appointed nor retained on the basis of their political activity. Employees <br />are encouraged to vote and are free to express their personal opinions about candidates for office. <br />Except as may be otherwise provided by law, the following restrictions on political activity will <br />apply to City employees: <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Employees must refrain from using their official position or influence for or against any <br />candidate for public office in any jurisdiction; <br /> <br />40 <br /> <br />Rev. 10/27/04 <br />
