Seasonal Employee – An employee who works in a non-budgeted position that is limited to a defined work season that may not exceed six (6) months in length. Employees in this category may work a fixed or variable work schedule and may be classified as either exempt or non-exempt as determined by Human Resources. Seasonal status employees only receive those benefits required by law.

All contractual employment relationships must be pre-authorized by the City Manager, and all employment contract documents must be pre-approved by the Director of Human Resources and the City Attorney prior to execution. EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS 106 Employees have the right to join, not join or become independent of an employee organization without any undue influence, coercion, intimidation or pressure of any kind by any person or group. For the purposes of this policy, an employee organization is defined as any organization that is comprised of City employees whose primary purpose is to interact with the City’s management on employment-related matters. Membership or non-membership in an employee organization will not affect the employee's standing or rights as a city employee. An employee group, or any member thereof, may not solicit membership or conduct business meetings on City time.
