Resolution Establishing a Severance Pay Policy
for Certain Employees Laid Off Due to Economic Conditions
Whereas, the City Council believes it is in the best interests of
the City to provide severance pay for eligible employees laid off
due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, the severance pay policy for laid off employees is
designed to provide short-term economic assistance to the former
employee, -
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of
St. Louis Park that:
1. A severance pay policy for certain employees laid off due to
economic conditions is hereby established;
2. Eligibility shall be limited to regular (non -probationary),
non-union, full time or part time employees, appointed or
otherwise, who are laid off according to the terms of Section
3.206, Layoffs, of the Personnel Ordinance, and whose lay off
was not the result of poor job performance or misconduct as
determined- by the City Manager, and whose lay off was
effected after December 30, 1990.
3. Severance pay shall be based on one (1) week's pay for each
full year of employment with a minimum of one (1) week's pay
and a maximum of five (5) weeks pay. This shall be
calculated at the employee's hourly rate of pay at the time
of lay off and shall be based upon the time period the
employee was eligible as identified in paragraph 2 above.
Payment shall be in one lump sum.
4. Severance pay to an eligible employee is conditioned upon the
eligible employee executing a release of any and all claims
or liabilities the employee may have against the City which
will be provided to the employee by the City. Severance pay
shall not be received until after the recission period for
such release contained in applicable state or federal laws.
5. This provision shall not exclude an employee eligible for
benefits provided in Section 3.602(e), Severance. This
severance pay policy is intended to be in addition to
3.602(e), Severance, of the City's Personnel Ordinance.
6. The City Manager shall have the authority to execute and
implement this policy.
