A RESOLUTION OF THE CARMEL BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY
ESTABLISHING A POLICY BRIDGING LONGEVITY BENEFITS
FOR CITY EMPLOYEES WITH BREAKS IN SERVICE TO THE CITY
WHEREAS, an Ordinance was established by the Common Council of the
City of Carmel, Indiana, on March 5, 1984 establishing longevity
benefits for City employees through Ordinance D-398 as codified in
Section 2-51 of the Carmel City Code; and,
WHEREAS, the establishment of said ordinance did not exempt
employees from bridging years of service due to breaks in service
to the City; and,
WHEREAS, the Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety believes it
necessary to establish a policy with regard to rules of bridging
years of service; and,
WHEREAS, the Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety finds it in
the best interest of the City of Carmel, Indiana to address the
issue by establishing said rules.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Public Works and
Safety that effective immediately, the following policy exists
pertaining to bridging longevity:
Should an employee have an interruption in employment for any
reason, the entitlement of earned longevity pay will be bridged as
follows:
1) If an employee returns to a full-time position within
(not more than) sixty (60) calendar days, the employee
will immediately be entitled to full credit of their
longevity pay received prior to said interruption.
2) If an employee returns to a full-time position after
sixty (60) days, but within (not more than) one (1)
calendar year, the employee must complete two (2) calendar
years of service from the date of their re-employment.
Upon completion of two (2) calendar years of re-employment,
the employee is entitled to receive full credit of their
longevity pay received prior to said interruption,
beginning with the first day of the next pay period. (If
the two-year anniversary date falls on the first day of
a pay period, the employee is eligible for prior credit
effective that day) The prior longevity shall be
added to the longevity earned by the employee since their
re-employment.,
3) An employee returning to work after a break in service
over one (1) calendar year will not be entitled to
bridge prior earned longevity.
* Longevity is credited and accrued only for time worked and
earned by the employee. Longevity earned by the employee
during the two-year re-employment period will be subject to the
~rules of longevity as stated in Carmel City Code Section 2-51.
APPROVED by the Board of Public Works and Safety of the City of
Carmel, Indiana this 20th day of July, 1994.
