Summary The City's Personnel Policies and Procedures are established to provide guidelines to employees concerning proper conduct, expectations of the City for its employees and rules concerning personnel related activities. The guidelines are intended to ensure personnel and personnel related activities remain consistent with federal and state laws and to promote positive employer/employee relations. They are not intended to constitute any form of employment contract or guarantee employment or benefits, as all employment with the City of Alachua is at will.
The City adopted the Personnel Rules and Regulations, now titled Personnel Policies and Procedures, in August 2004; these Policies and Procedures were later amended by Ordinance 06-33 in 2006, Ordinance 09-25 in 2009, Ordinance 10-20 in 2010 and most recently by Ordinance 14-01 in 2014. In order to remain compliant with federal and state laws and regulations, and to provide our employees with correct and useful information, it is necessary to revise the Personnel Policies and Procedures to account for changes in the law and operational procedures and to incorporate new policies.
