Title
Human Resources Policy E-1 (B)
 
This item is a request for City Commission approval to amend HR Policy E-1 to expressly state the City's intent with respect to filling temporary positions.    
 
Explanation
Human Resources Policy E-1 is amended to expressly state the City's intent when filling temporary positions.  In compliance with the Affordable Care Act, the City will offer health insurance to Temporary employees who work for the City for at least 90 days, averaging 30 hours or more per week.  In an effort to limit the expenses associated with providing health insurance, whenever appropriate, it is management's intent to use temporary employment agencies.  For the purpose of this portion of the Act, workers provided by temporary employment agencies are not employees of the City, and the City is therefore not required to budget for and offer health insurance to those workers.  Where temporary employment agencies are utilized, those agencies will be responsible for complying with the Act.     
 
Fiscal Note
There is no fiscal impact for the change to Policy E-1.
 
Recommendation
The City Commission approve the revision to Human Resources Policy E-1.
