1.10 Purpose of the Redmond Personnel Manual
(rev. 7/2018)
Welcome to the City of Redmond! This Personnel Manual is a summary of the City of Redmond’s employment practices and policies. The Manual is intended to serve as a guide for supervisors and managers as well as all City employees. The Manual applies to all employees unless preempted by the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement. This Manual does not constitute an express or implied employment contract of any kind.
1.20 The Manual’s Relation to Other Authorities
(rev. 7/2018)
In the event of conflict between the Redmond Personnel Manual and any collective bargaining agreement, personal services contract, City ordinance, Civil Service rule, State law, or Federal law, the provisions of this manual yield to that contract, rule, or law. In all other cases this Manual is controlling.
1.30 The Manual’s Relation to Department Rules
(rev. 7/2018)
This Manual does not prevent individual departments from establishing separate policies and rules when necessary to accommodate operational issues unique to those departments.
1.40 Changing the Manual
(rev. 7/2018)
Provisions of the Manual may be repealed, modified, or amended by Executive Order of the Mayor; provided, that adding or deleting employee benefits must be approved by the City Council.
In the event the City wishes to change any provision of this Manual, the City will provide its labor unions with thirty days’ notice of the proposed change. If any or all labor unions wish to bargain the proposed change, the labor unions must provide notice of their intent to do so within the thirty-day period. In the event the proposed change relates to a mandatory subject of bargaining, the City must bargain the proposed change. In the event the proposed change relates to a permissive subject of bargaining, the City reserves discretion as to whether it will bargain the proposed change.
