December 14, 1999 Amendment

F.Department Directors: Mayor's office staff and city council office staff are entitled to severance pay in the event their employment with Ogden City is terminated. Severance pay shall be in an amount equivalent to one month's pay for each year of employment in the qualifying position, not to exceed six (6) months. The monthly payment amount shall be based on the employee's monthly salary on termination date. Payment is to be made in a lump sum on termination date. This payment will be in addition to the usual benefits received on termination.

Severance pay will not be made to otherwise eligible employees who:

1. Have been terminated or requested to resign under bona fide charges of nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance in office; or

2. At the time of separation of employment have been convicted, indicted, charged or are under criminal investigation concerning a public offense involving a felony or moral turpitude; or

3. Voluntarily terminate employment with the city.

A requested resignation shall not be considered a voluntary resignation and will entitle the eligible employee to severance pay benefits so long as the employee is not rehired for the same position with the city within six (6) months of termination date. Additionally, an employee whose resignation is requested and is then rehired at a lower salary may, at his or her option, resign and be eligible for severance pay.

If prior to the effective date hereof, employment agreements exist with different severance terms, then the eligible employee will be entitled to the benefit of the more advantageous terms.
