City of Manitowoc Elected Officials Write New Employment Policy Manual


Manitowoc looks at sick leave, pay issues. (Manitowoc Herald-Times-Reporter, 1/30/2012)

Such as....
  • Clothing allowances
  • New sick leave bank accrual system.  (sick leave cannot be accrued beyond 10 weeks and will be canceled upon termination of employment with no payment made.)
  • Automatic pay raises
  • Whether Streets workers could continue changing the oil on their cars and trucks at the Department of Public Works shop.
  • Seniority no longer would be the exclusive factor when it comes to layoffs  ("Management (will) retain those employees who are most qualified to perform the available work, regardless of length of employment."
  • No automatic "progression step" raises based on longevity; some council support for a merit-based pay raise system.
