Maricopa’s 194 full-time employees, including police officers and firefighters, could see a little extra cash coming their way.
The city council will consider a request Tuesday to award every full-time city employee $250 as part of an outstanding Organizational Performance Award. In addition, employees who receive ratings of meets or exceeds expectations on their annual performance reviews will be given 10 hours for a floating holiday on July 1 and again on July 1, 2014.
According to a city staff report, the award is being requested to recognize the efforts of employees during hard times.
“The city recognizes that (the) city and its employees have been through tough economic times together and as a result, employees were required to do more work with less staff while maintaining excellent customer services,” the report states. “The city recognizes these tough times and the resulting harder and smarter work by its employees. This has allowed the city to continue maintaining a high standard of performance and customer service to our community.”
