Video: The review separates the city charter, merit rules, a personnel policy manual and an administrative procedures manual, after eight stakeholder sessions covering about 5% of the workforce. Proposals highlighted include 12 weeks of paid parental leave and a sick-leave bank for new employees, not yet presented to labor groups. Council Members asked whether the November ballot charter amendments would affect the work; the law department said the project is based on the charter as it exists today. The work is to return to Council and may be referred to committee.
