Consent Agenda
February 11, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council:
RE: Emergency Purchases
As an item for the consent agenda of February 25, 2016, I am requesting your approval of an emergency
purchase.
Background
Under Section 2-10 of the City Code, the City Manager is authorized to make emergency purchases and to
report the purchase to the City Council within 2 working days. I emailed the Council within the 2 day
requirement of these purchases and am now forwarding to you for approval.
Emergency Salt Purchase
This is a second purchase for salt following this week’s winter weather. The City received the 1000 tons at a
cost of approximately $74,000 on January 29th, which filled the barn and replenished what we used on the big
storm on the 22nd of January.
During this week’s winter weather, the Street Department used about 500 tons of that salt. Crews worked
around the clock from Monday the 8th through Wednesday the 10th responding to each wave of snow
showers.
Please be aware that the City has a State Maintenance contract with TDOT for salting State routes within the
City limits and on average we are reimbursed about 40% to 50% of the cost back. The contract is set up for
time and materials for what we do on state routes.
Mr. Hillis reports that there is about 700 tons on hand but more snow is predicted for Sunday/Monday of next
week. In order to ensure public safety, on February 11, I authorized the purchase of 500 tons @ $76.11 per
ton for an estimated cost of $38,055.
Recommendation
Council approval of the emergency purchase is requested.

CONSENT AGENDA
February 19, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
As items for the Consent Agenda, it is recommended that the City Council approve the following from the
Community Development Department:
1. Housing Rehabilitation – 510 South Highland Avenue – Change Order #3
2. Housing Rehabilitation – 2106 Cypress Drive – Change Order #1
3. Housing Rehabilitation – 415 East Castle Street – Change Order #3
1. Housing Rehabilitation – 510 South Highland Avenue – Change Order #3
Background
The homeowner at the subject address has applied for and is eligible for assistance through the City’s
Housing Rehabilitation Program. The most feasible approach to this project is to demolish the existing
unit and reconstruct. On September 17, 2015, Council approved funding a construction contract between
the homeowner and the contractor, James I. Brown, for $89,000.
On November 5, 2015, City Council approved Change Order #1 for $900. On January 7, 2016, City
Council approved Change Order #2 for $2,675.
The Scope of Work called for underground electric service. Murfreesboro Electric Department has asked
the contractor to connect the electrical service using overhead service. Additionally the Community
Development Department has approved a change in the Scope of Work for some of the windows being
installed to be single-hung instead of double-hung.
Fiscal Impact
As a result of the changes to the Scope of Work noted above, the Contractor has requested Change
Order #3 to reduce the contract by $531. If approved Change Order #3 would decrease the contract to
$93,794. The Community Development Budget as amended allocates $298,332 for housing rehab
projects. Accepting Change Order #3 would leave a balance of approximately $184,500 available.
Concurrences
The city’s inspector has reviewed and approved the proposed change order.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approving Change Order #3 and decreasing the project contract to $93,794.

TDD 615 849 2689 www.murfreesborotn.gov
2. Housing Rehabilitation – 2106 Cypress Drive – Change Order #1
Background
The homeowner at the subject address has applied for and is eligible for assistance through the City’s
Housing Rehabilitation Program. Three bids were received and opened on January 11, 2016. On January
14, 2016, City Council approved funding a rehabilitation contract between the homeowner and the
contractor, J.B. Cripps & Son, for $23,862.
The Scope of Work required re-roofing the entire house. After the old shingles were stripped to the
decking, significant damage was discovered not just to the existing decking, but a number of rafters, as
well. In the process of inspecting the damaged areas, the City’s inspector determined that the thickness
of the existing decking did not meet code and recommended replacing the entire roof deck, work that was
not included in the original Scope of Work. Additionally, it was determined in view of energy-saving
elements in the Scope of Work that both existing storm doors should be replaced.
Fiscal Impact
As a result of the changes to the Scope of Work noted above, the Contractor has requested Change
Order #1 to increase the contract by $3,391.08. If approved Change Order #1 would increase the contract
to $27,253.08. The Community Development Budget as amended allocates $298,332 for housing rehab
projects. Accepting Change Order #1 would leave a balance of approximately $181,100 available.
Concurrences
The City’s inspector has reviewed and approved the proposed change order.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approving Change Order #1 and increasing the project contract to $27,253.
3. Housing Rehabilitation – 415 East Castle Street – Change Order #3
Background
On October 14, 2014, the City Council approved a housing rehabilitation contract between the
homeowner and Charles Eversole Construction for $26,825. Subsequently two change orders were
approved increasing the contract amount to $31,625. The Certification of Completion and Final Payment
was signed on January 16, 2015, triggering the one-year warranty for the project.
As the completion anniversary neared, the homeowner brought several issues to the attention of the
Community Development Department and the Contractor. On December 14, 2015, the Contractor, the
City’s inspector and staff met with the homeowner to discuss these issues. All but one were adjudged to
be the responsibility of the contractor and he agreed to perform the necessary work needed to satisfy the
homeowner. This has since been done.
One issue was not the fault of the contractor, but rather a problem caused by the project design. The
Scope of Work as revised in Change Order #2 called for replacing paneling in Bedroom #3. The
contractor performed the task as specified. What staff did not realize would happen was that because of
the addition of an HVAC system, the concrete block walls in this particular room sweated, causing
condensation behind the paneling that affected the paneling, causing it to buckle.
After discussing the situation, the contractor, the inspector and staff agreed that the most workable
solution would be to remove the damaged paneling, install a layer of Styrofoam paneling, then install new
paneling and trim. The contractor agreed to perform this work for $1,500.
Fiscal Impact
As a result of the changes to the Scope of Work noted above, the Contractor has requested Change
Order #3 to increase the contract by $1,500. If approved Change Order #3 would increase the contract to
2
$33,125. The Community Development Budget as amended allocates $298,332 for housing rehab
projects. Accepting Change Order #3 would leave a balance of approximately $179,600 available.
Concurrences
The city’s inspector has reviewed and approved the proposed change order.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approving Change Order #3 increasing the project contract to $33,125 and authorizing
payment of $1,500 to the contractor.
Sincerely,
John Callow
Community Development Director

CONSENT AGENDA
February 25, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
RE: Water and Sewer Board Recommendations to the City for the Council Consent Agenda
from the Board Meeting held February 16, 2016
A. Purchase Dell Support
Background
Our Dell Server SAN support service will expire in March, 2016. The Dell Server Storage Area Network
that we have consists of (2) units. Each with multiple servers, network switches, and disk storage
combined in an enclosure. These systems run and contain the customer information system applications
and data. It is critical that these systems continue to operate to support our customers with minimum
downtime. This renewal will extend the support services that we currently have, which includes parts
replacement, updates and technical support for the two Dell Server SANs for 1 year.
The pricing is only available single sourced from Dell as the only manufacture of these systems.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of February 16, 2016.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the purchase of the referenced Dell support service for 1
year in the amount of $28,034.74.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for the support would come from prepaid maintenance accounts. Dell issued (3) quotes to cover
the servers, switches, and storage. Server support renewal costs total $14,382.43. Switch support
renewal costs total $7,694.48. Storage support renewal costs total $5,957.83. Grand total cost for 1 year
renewal is $28,034.74.

B. SRWTP Hydrogen Peroxide Addition Change Order # 2
Background
The City Council and the Water and Sewer Board approved for staff to work with Smith Seckman Reid
(SSR) on the development of a scope for design and construction of a hydrogen peroxide feed system
based upon the results of the disinfection by-product study submitted in December 2013.
SSR was approved to complete the design in February 2014 and bids were received on October 28, 2014.
At the March 2015 Board Meeting, the project was awarded to W&O Construction along with Change
Order # 1 to reduce the scope of the project for the Hydrogen Peroxide feed system to a total of $416,023.
There have been some unforeseen conditions as explained in SSR’s recommendation letter that has
necessitated additional time for construction. The contractor has requested and SSR recommends 142
additional days be added to the contract. Attached is Change Order # 2 for approval of the additional
days.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of February 16, 2016.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve Change Order # 2 to change the contract time to add 142
days for final completion.
Fiscal Impact
The construction cost of the project is $416,023, $61,023 over the original budgeted amount. The
Department’s original budget was $355,000 from working capital reserves. All funding was approved
from working capital reserve account. This Change Order # 2 does not affect the project cost.

SSR Recommendation Memo
Change Order No. 2
C. CUD Boundary Revision Addition to Amendment # 5
Background
For this additional revision to Amendment #5, there is only a portion of one property to consider. The
property is located at 2744 Old Fort Parkway, the Prater Property. Only the frontage of this property is
within Consolidated Utility District’s (CUD) water service area and the remainder is within the
Department’s area. The Burger King has purchased a portion of the property along Old Fort Parkway and
the current boundary splits this development. The attached exhibit shows the current boundary in relation
to the proposed property lines. The Department does not have existing water mains along Old Fort
Parkway at this location so it only makes sense for the frontage and this development area to be dedicated
to CUD.

Council Consent Agenda
Page 3
An amendment document will be prepared, and these changes will be considered a part of Amendment #5
to the boundary.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of February 16, 2016.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the revisions to the CUD/MWSD boundary and the Mayor
executing an amendment to the Water Service Boundary, subject to the approval by CUD’ Board.
Fiscal Impact
Water connection fees for the Burger King would be approximately $1,750 based on the final number of
seats. We will still receive the associated sewer connection fees in the amount of $2,750.

D. Replace Clarifier Collector Ring by JBS Personnel
Task Order No. 16-01 Water/Wastewater Systems Mechanical/Electrical Services Contract
Background
On December 18, 2014, the MWSD accepted and opened bids for the MWSD Water/Wastewater System
Mechanical/Electrical Services contract. John Bouchard & Sons Co. was awarded the bid after approval
by the Water and Sewer Board and City Council. This contract has been renewed and is currently in
effect.
Based upon inspection by the Department’s Staff of the existing clarifier collector ring at the Sinking
Creek Plant’s Final Clarifier, it was determined that repairs are beyond the Department’s ability to
perform. As a result, Staff has requested John Bouchard & Sons Co. provide an estimate that would
include JB&S staff’s determination as to the extent of repairs necessary to get the clarifier into full
operation. The clarifier was installed in 2000 and has not received any major repairs outside of
maintenance performed by MWSD maintenance personnel.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of February 16, 2016.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve Task Order 16-01 by John Bouchard & Sons Co.
Fiscal Impact
Funding used to Replace Clarifier Collector Ring is in the amount of $3,675 is from working capital
reserves.

Task Order 16-01
E. Immediate Need for Large Meter Replacements Due to Inaccurate Readings
Background
As staff has been working through the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, it has become
apparent that four large meters, as itemized in the table below, have been registering inaccurate readings.
Table 1: Large Meters Needing Replacement Due to Inaccurate Readings
Account Meter Address Date Bill Code Years New Meter
Installed Replacement
Cost
00018935 B8982 2032 BLANTON DR 1998 Water - 4" Meter 17 $3,040.00
00006476 B6707 1927 MEMORIAL BLVD 1996 Water - 6" Meter 19 $4,335.00
00006477 B6708 1927 MEMORIAL BLVD 1996 Water - 6" Meter 19 $4,335.00
00003033 B9226B 1658 LASCASSAS PIKE 2001 Water - 3" Meter 14 $1,935.00
Total $13,645.00
The AMI project’s scope is to replace all meters two (2) inches and smaller, so these meters (sized 3”
through 6”) will not be replaced as part of that project. Staff intends to perform this work outside of the
United Systems and Software (USS) AMI contract; however, the meters will be equipped with the proper
encoder-register-transmitter (ERT) to be read remotely through the wireless network.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of February 16, 2016.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the purchase of replacement meters from working capital
reserves.
Fiscal Impact
This was not a fiscal year 2016 budgeted item. Staff requests the cost of $13,645 to be funded from the
Department’s working capital reserve account.
Respectfully submitted,
Darren W. Gore
Director

Valerie Smith
Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Department
300 NW Broad Street
Murfreesboro, TN 37130-3543
RE: Contract Extension
Water Treatment Plant Hydrogen Peroxide Addition
Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Department
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
SSR Job Number: 14-41-007.0
Dear Valerie,
The original dates of substantial completion and final payment for the above-referenced project were
January 30, 2016 and March 30, 2016, respectively (see attached executed Notice to Proceed). In a
letter dated October 30, 2015 (see attached), Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. (SSR) advised the Murfreesboro
Water and Sewer Department (MWSD) that due to unforeseen conditions related to the valve actuators,
the date of substantial completion would need to be extended to April 1, 2016. In W&O Construction
Company, Inc.’s (W&O) acceptance of the Notice to Proceed in a letter dated November 3, 2015 (also
attached), W&O advised that additional delays were possible due to the actuators.
Since the November 3, 2015 letter, additional delays related to the valve actuators have caused the
completion date for the actuator-portion of the project to push further into the future. The delay has been
caused namely by the need for additional design time by the valve actuator manufacturer to resolve
issues related to the unforeseen conditions. Originally, the actuator manufacturer believed that universal
joints would be required to connect the actuators to the valves. Such a situation, if necessary, was
undesirable to both MWSD and SSR due to the long term maintenance and repair possibilities with
underground universal joints. Upon further design review by the actuator manufacturer, the need for the
universal joints was eliminated, making for a far better installation for MWSD which will minimize future
maintenance and repairs. As a result, SSR finds the contract time extension requested in the attached
January 29, 2016 letter from W&O acceptable.
The proposed revised Contract deadlines from W&O are as follows:
April 1, 2016 – Completion of chemical feed systems and installation of valve vaults and
completion of all site asphalt paving repairs. This will allow MWSD to
continue with resealing of plant site asphalt as planned.
June 20, 2016 – Substantial Completion and completion of valve actuator installations.
August 19, 2016 – Final Payment (60 days after substantial completion).

As discussed in the attached January 29, 2016 letter from W&O, the proposed contract time extensions
are at no additional cost the City of Murfreesboro.
Please advise if MWSD finds these proposed revised contract deadlines acceptable. If so, SSR will
prepare the necessary change order paperwork. If not, please contact us to discuss the issue further.
Please contact us should you have any questions or require additional information.

REGULAR AGENDA
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF MURFREESBORO CITY COUNCIL
RE: Revisions to Employee Handbook Section 1041-Employee Timekeeping
Background
On February 8, the City launched the KRONOS® Workforce Central™ (“KRONOS”) as the
City’s official employee attendance and timekeeping system. This system requires all
employees to approve an electronic time card every Monday morning. In response to
concerns raised by some employees, City staff has identified a need to clarify exactly what
an employee is certifying as accurate when an employee approves the employee’s own
time card in the KRONOS timekeeping system. To this end, I am recommending the
following revision to Employee Handbook Section 1041.
This revision, which appears as a new subsection (e)(4) in the attached document,
provides:
A non-exempt employee by approving the employee’s own time
card is certifying that the clock-in and clock-out times recorded
in KRONOS accurately reflect the employee’s attendance and
time worked (including any paid breaks) on each day
appearing on the time card. In addition, by approving a time
card, an employee, whether non-exempt or exempt, is
certifying that any Exception Hours recorded on the time card
are true and accurate. Provided all such entries are accurate,
employees will not be held accountable nor subject to
discipline for the automated time calculations reflected in the
daily or period columns of their time cards.
This addition constitutes a clarification of, rather than a substantive change to, current
policy.

Phone 615 849 2629 * Fax 615 849 2679 * TDD 615 849 2689 www.murfreesborotn.gov
Fiscal Impact
The proposed revision will have no fiscal impact.
Concurrences
The Human Resources Department and Legal Department concur with these
recommended changes.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the attached revision of Section 1041 of the
Employee Handbook to be effective immediately upon approval.

Sincerely,
Robert J. Lyons
City Manager
CITY OF MURFREESBORO
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
Section No: 1041 Date: xx-xx-16
Supersedes Section No: Dated: 2-4-16
Subject: Employee Timekeeping
Approved: Robert J. Lyons, City Manager
(a) Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this policy is to provide uniform rules and guidance regarding use of the
City’s employee attendance and timekeeping system. This policy applies to all City
employees.
(b) Policy Statement
The City maintains time and leave/attendance records for non-exempt employees and
leave/attendance records for exempt employees in accordance with the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) and other applicable state and federal laws. To ensure that
employees are paid in accordance with these laws, employee time and attendance records
shall accurately reflect attendance and time worked. Employees are responsible for
accurately reporting their attendance and time worked in accordance with the procedures
and guidelines set forth in this policy. Misrepresentation of time worked and falsification of
time records are violations of the law and City policy and will result in disciplinary action up
to and including termination.
For employees who are classified under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as being “non-
exempt”, compensation is determined on an “hours worked” basis, using ¼ hour as the
means of measurement. For employees classified under the FLSA as being “exempt”,
compensation is based on a “days worked” or “shift worked” basis.
(c) Definitions
(1) “Buddy punching” -- The act of clocking-in or out for another employee.
(2) “Clock-In (Out)/Punch-In (Out) /Swipe-In (Out) – The act of recording
in KRONOS the time when an employee starts or ends work, whether at the beginning or
end of a workday, meal, or mid-shift absence from work, whether by sliding the employee’s
[xx-xx-16] 1 [1041]
ID badge through the slot on a time clock or by using the time stamp method on a computer
or mobile application to enter such data into KRONOS.
(3) “Exception Hours” – Paid or unpaid time that is outside of regular
work hours and/or salary. Exception hours include, but are not limited to: paid sick and
vacation leave, overtime, call-in-to duty, standby, jury duty, family medical leave, leave
without pay, workers’ compensation, etc.
(4) “Exempt Employees” – An employee who is exempt from minimum
wage, overtime pay and certain recordkeeping requirements of the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
(5) “Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) – A Federal law that was
enacted in 1938. It protects workers by setting standards for minimum wages, overtime
pay, recordkeeping, and youth labor.
(6) “Non-Exempt Employees” – An employee who is covered by the
minimum wage and overtime provisions of Fair Labor Standards Act.
(7) “Time Periods” -- City employees record time worked based on either
a work week or a work period/tour of duty basis.
(8) “Work off the Clock” - Any work performed for the City by a non-
exempt employee that is not properly recorded by the employee, and, therefore, neither
compensated by the City nor counted toward the employee’s hours for purposes of
calculating any overtime. Employees who work off the clock may be subject to disciplinary
action up to and including termination.
(9) “Work period/tour of duty” - The FLSA permits work periods longer than
a 40 hour work week for purposes of determining an employee’s entitlement to overtime
pay. Employees of the Fire & Rescue Department assigned to a work period/tour of duty
work a 28-day schedule; the schedules for the current year are on file with that Department.
Employees of the Police Department assigned to a work period/tour of duty work a 21-day
schedule; the schedule for the current year is on file with that Department.
(10) “Work Week” – A seven (7) day work week is used as the basis for
time keeping for all employees except for those firefighters and police officers who are
assigned to a work period/tour of duty schedule. The work week for all City departments,
other than the Water and Sewer and Police Departments, is Sunday through Saturday. The
work week for the Water and Sewer Department is Thursday through Wednesday. The work
week for the Police Department is Monday through Sunday.
[xx-xx-16] 2 [1041]
(d) Designation of Timekeeping System; Official Records
(1) The City has implemented and utilizes KRONOS® Workforce
Central™ (“KRONOS”) as its official employee attendance and timekeeping system.
KRONOS collects actual time entered by the employees using a time clock, computer, or
mobile application. This data is subsequently transferred to the City’s payroll system.
KRONOS tracks and manages employee hours, which are then transmitted to the City’s
payroll system.
(2) The KRONOS electronic timekeeping system and associated work
records are the official basis for recording hours worked for all non-exempt City employees.
Absence and leave records (e.g., vacation, sick days, FMLA leave, etc.) will also be
recorded in KRONOS.
(3) Data recorded in the KRONOS system shall be considered as the
official record of non-exempt employees’ hours worked and all employees’ attendance. Any
disputes over attendance or actual hours worked shall be resolved by referring to the official
KRONOS records.
(e) Responsibilities of Employees
(1) Non-exempt employees must record their individual time and
attendance via the KRONOS system for each day they actually work or are scheduled to
work. Non-exempt employees must clock in and out at the beginning and end of each
scheduled workday. Non-exempt employees must also clock in and out at the beginning
and completion of meal periods, except as otherwise provided by departmental policy. In
addition, non-exempt employees leaving work during the workday for personal reasons
must clock out when leaving and back in when returning. Complete and accurate reporting
of work time and attendance is essential to ensure employees are compensated for all time
worked.
(2) Exempt employees are not required to clock-in at the beginning or
clock-out at the end of their scheduled workdays.
(3) All employees, exempt and non-exempt, must make leave requests via
KRONOS. All employees must accurately and completely report via KRONOS any period
of leave, e.g., vacation, sick leave, family medical leave, etc. Because leave requests
require supervisory or administrative approval, all planned leave requests must be submitted
in advance via KRONOS. In addition to making a KRONOS request, employees may also
be required to submit leave requests in accordance with a departmental policy approved
under (f)(7). In the event of an unexpected absence from work, employees should contact
their supervisors in accordance with City and departmental policies. The supervisor is then
responsible for entering the employee’s leave hours in KRONOS. It is then the employee’s
responsibility for verifying these hours upon returning to work.
[xx-xx-16] 3 [1041]
(4) A non-exempt employee by approving the employee’s own time card
is certifying that the clock-in and clock-out times recorded in KRONOS accurately reflect the
employee’s attendance and time worked (including any paid breaks) on each day appearing
on the time card. In addition, by approving a time card, an employee, whether non-exempt
or exempt, is certifying that any Exception Hours recorded on the time card are true and
accurate. Provided all such entries are accurate, employees will not be held accountable
nor subject to discipline for the automated time calculations reflected in the daily or period
columns of their time cards.
(f) Responsibilities of Department Heads and Supervisors
(1) It is the responsibility of each Department Head or the Department
Head’s designee(s) to create and maintain current and accurate schedules for all non-
exempt employees within the department in the KRONOS system.
(2) Department Heads and Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that
all employees under their supervision are educated regarding this policy and that all
employees comply with the requirements of this policy. It is the responsibility of Department
Heads and supervisors to ensure that this policy is administered fairly and uniformly with
respect to all employees under their supervision.
(3) Each Department Head may designate one or more supervisors within
their department to review and approve time for department employees. In smaller
departments, the Department Head may fulfill this supervisory function.
(4) A department’s designated supervisor(s) must review time records on
a daily basis and approve employee time and attendance on a weekly basis. A supervisor
is responsible for any inaccuracy or omission of which the supervisor is aware at the time
the time record was approved.
(5) A department’s designated supervisors are responsible for making all
necessary and appropriate corrections and adjustments to employee time records. By
approving a time record, a supervisor is attesting that to the best of the supervisor’s
knowledge the time record is complete and accurate. Supervisors may adjust a non-
exempt employee’s clock in and/or clock out time to correct the record but shall not edit with
the intent to avoid, decrease, or increase overtime compensation.
(6) If a supervisor is or plans to be absent from work and is or will be
unable to access the system remotely, the supervisor may delegate their authority in
KRONOS to any other supervisor who has been assigned a manager license within their
department. The delegation feature within KRONOS logs the ID in the audit records of both
the supervisor of record and the delegatee on each transaction during this period.
Supervisors shall not allow another employee to log in under their own KRONOS ID.
[xx-xx-16] 4 [1041]
(7) Department Heads are authorized to create specific protocols and
rules regarding time and attendance and the use of time keeping devices within that
department to supplement this policy, subject to approval by the Human Resources Director
and City Attorney, and provided such protocols and rules are not more generous than those
contained in this policy.
(g) Identification badges
The Human Resources Department will issue every non-exempt employee an identification
badge to be used for reporting time and attendance in KRONOS. Identification badges are
the property of the City and are issued to non-exempt employees to facilitate accurate
timekeeping. They are not provided for security or safety purposes. Employees are
responsible for retaining their identification badges and must notify their immediate
supervisor immediately if their badge is lost, stolen, or damaged. A $5 fee will be assessed
by payroll deduction for each replacement badge(s) issued to an employee that is lost or
stolen; the first replacement badge will be replaced at no charge. Employees will be required
to return their identification badge upon termination of employment from the City.
(h) KRONOS Mobile Application
(1) Upon the recommendation of a Department Head and approval of the
Human Resources Department, employees may be provided the option, but shall not be
required, to report their time and attendance using the KRONOS Mobile application, which
can be downloaded to an employee’s City-issued or personal mobile device. Among other
features, this application enables employees to record time entries, request leave, review
time records, and review benefit accruals. In addition, supervisors may use the mobile
application to review and approve time entries of departmental employees. The KRONOS
Mobile application may be downloaded by using the iTunes App Store, GooglePlay, and
certain other applications. There is no fee for the application; however, employees assume
full responsibility for any data charges associated with downloading the application and all
terms and conditions of entering into licensing agreements upon downloading and installing
the KRONOS Mobile application software on a personal mobile.
(2) The KRONOS mobile application has a Global Positioning System
(GPS) interface that identifies the location coordinates of an employee’s physical location
when the employee clocks in or out. The GPS does not track an employee’s whereabouts
before or after a time entry is made, even if the application remains open. Accordingly, the
City will be able to determine an employee’s location only as of the time a time entry is made.
The GPS interface does not record locational data at any other time.
(3) Employees electing to use the KRONOS Workforce Mobile application
will be required to sign a KRONOS Workforce Mobile User Agreement and Authorization.

(i) Time-Reporting Procedures
(1) When time is to be reported.
(A) Every non-exempt employee shall clock in at the employee’s
work-start time and clock out and depart at the employee’s work-end time. This
requirement applies to both regularly scheduled work and other work approved by an
employee’s supervisor.
(B) Non-exempt employees should clock in/out as close to their
designated start/end time as possible. Non-exempt employees have a seven-minute grace
period to clock in prior to the start of their scheduled start time. Employees may voluntarily
choose to clock in up to seven minutes prior to their scheduled start time. At the end of the
work day, employees should stop working and promptly clock out within seven minutes of
their scheduled end time.
(C) Non-exempt employees shall not begin work or clock in more
than 7 minutes before their scheduled start time without authorization from a supervisor
or Department Head. Non-exempt employees shall not keep working or clock out more
than 7 minutes after their scheduled end time without authorization from a supervisor or
Department Head. Provided, however, that nothing in this subsection authorizes an
employee to work “off the clock”; all clock-in/clock-out times must be accurate.
(D) Employees must not perform work activities outside of their
scheduled shift or during their meal period without approval from their supervisor.
Employees who perform such work without the approval from their supervisor, will be
compensated for such work but may be subjected to disciplinary action up to and including
termination.
(2) Method of Reporting Time.
Employees may clock in and out by:
(A) Swiping their identification badge at a KRONOS time clock
located at their assigned facility;
(B) Accessing KRONOS via their computer (if a license has been
assigned to the employee’s computer) or an Internet enabled workstation at their assigned
facility; or
(C) If authorized by a Department Head, using the KRONOS
Workforce Mobile application on a mobile device.
[xx-xx-16] 6 [1041]
Each employee will be assigned a “home” time clock that is closest to the employee’s
primary work location. Employees should always clock in and out at this location, unless
their job duties require them to be away from their primary work location, in which case an
employee may clock in and out at the City facility where the employee is working.
(3) Rounding of Time Entries.
(A) In order to maintain consistent time reporting City-wide, the
KRONOS system rounds punches to the nearest 15 minutes for “in” and “out” punches.
Punches for meal periods round based upon the total minutes taken for the unpaid time
taken during meal periods. These practices are consistent with the FLSA and have been
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
(B) The actual punch appears on the time record, however, the
Shift, Daily, and Cumulative totals are rounded. Rounding does not change the employee’s
regularly scheduled work times nor does it change the early or late indicators on the
employee’s electronic time record.
(C) In order to round to 15 minutes, the actual rounding occurs on
punches between 7 and 8 minutes. Punches at the beginning of the shift and the end of the
shift round based on the actual punch time. For example, punches from 7:53 AM to 8:07
AM round to 8:00 AM, punches from 8:08 AM to 8:22 AM round to 8:15 AM.
(D) Punches that occur mid-shift such as those associated with an
unpaid meal break round based on the total minutes taken for the unpaid time. For example,
if the lunch punch out is 12:07 PM and the lunch punch in is 12:44 PM the lunch period is
37 minutes in length, therefore the total lunch time is rounded to 30 minutes. If a lunch
punch out is 12:07 PM and lunch punch in is 12:45 PM the lunch period is 38 minutes and
therefore the total lunch time is rounded to 45 minutes. The following graphic represents
these rounding rules.
(4) Missed Punches and Adjustments.
(A) Supervisors are required to review their assigned employees’
time records on a daily basis and should edit or adjust an employee’s time record only when
[xx-xx-16] 7 [1041]
the record contains a mistake (e.g., when incorrect leave information is entered, as a result
of a “missed or double punch”) or when exception hours need to be entered or edited in the
record.
(B) For purposes of this policy, a “missed punch” includes failure to
clock in or out at the beginning or end of a workday, meal time, or absence from work during
the workday for personal reasons. Employees who miss a punch should notify their
supervisor of their missed punch and under no circumstances may an employee adjust their
own time record. Employees who consistently miss recording their time in the KRONOS
system may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
(C) Employees should work with their supervisors to correct any
error in their time records as soon as is the error is detected to avoid any inaccuracies or
delays in pay or leave balances. Likewise, employees should work with their supervisors to
ensure that any exception hours are reflected accurately and completely on their time
records.
(D) Employees should first address any concerns regarding their
time record to their supervisor. If the supervisor is unable to resolve a concern to an
employee’s satisfaction, either the employee or the supervisor may elect to forward the
concern to a higher-level supervisor or Department Head for resolution, who should consult
with the Human Resources and/or Legal departments as is needed to resolve the issue.
(5) Power/System failures.
(A) Time clocks generally will continue to collect data during power
outages or when it appears as if the clock or system is malfunctioning. In the event of a
power outage or a suspected clock or system malfunction, employees should continue to
record their time-in and/or time-out and immediately inform their supervisor of the system
issue. Employees shall also maintain an independent paper record of hours worked and
communicate such information to their supervisor by the end of the employee’s next work
day. The supervisor will note the times that may need adjusting but will not make
adjustments based on an employee’s independent records (or other information) until it is
confirmed that the system did not collect an employee’s clock/punch/swipe ins or outs during
the period in question.
(B) Supervisors shall immediately notify payroll personnel in the
Human Resources Department of any time clock issue and enter an IT help desk request
regarding any KRONOS system problem.
(j) Prohibited Conduct; Disciplinary Action
(1) Falsification, misrepresentation, tampering with, or unauthorized
viewing of time records is strictly prohibited. Such actions constitute theft if they result in an
employee receiving compensation for time not actually worked.
[xx-xx-16] 8 [1041]
(2) An employee found to have engaged in any of the following conduct
shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination:
(A) Working “Off the Clock”;
(B) Any attempt to tamper with timekeeping hardware or software;
(C) Falsification of hours actually worked;
(D) Excessive missed punches without a valid excuse;
(E) Clocking/punching/swiping in or out for another employee
(a.k.a. “buddy punching”);
(F) Asking someone, including but not limited to another employee,
to clock/punch/swipe in or out on behalf of an employee;
(G) Interfering with another employee’s use of KRONOS;
(H) Unauthorized viewing of another employee’s time in KRONOS;
(I) Any and all other attempts to defraud, steal time, or otherwise
be dishonest for the benefit of oneself or any other person; and
(J) Any other failure to comply with the provisions of this policy and
any related procedures.
(3) Any supervisor who becomes aware of any of the above by another
employee is required to report such activity to either that employee’s supervisor, Department
Head, the Human Resources Department, or the City Manager.
