Prior Council Action:
September 12, 2024 - Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 20240912-060 related to compensation and benefits for the Municipal Court Clerk.
For More Information:
Susan Sinz, Director, 512-974-3215; Rebecca Kennedy, Deputy Director, 512-974-3293.
Additional Backup Information:
City Council approved Ordinance No. 20240912-060 on September 12, 2024, establishing compensation and benefits for the Municipal Court Clerk. The Ordinance established that the Municipal Court Clerk would receive 1.92 days of paid vacation leave per month with a maximum accumulation of 400 hours.
Due to system upgrades, changes to vacation leave accruals for non-sworn employees not covered by collective bargaining or meet and confer agreements were made in November 2025. These modifications were necessary because the new system calculates leave accruals in quarter-hour increments, rather than the decimals that did not equate to actual minutes used by the previous system.
This amendment will update the vacation leave benefit for the Municipal Court Clerk and align it with other City executives, who earn vacation leave at the same rate as the highest per pay period accrual rate for regular full-time, exempt city employees who are not covered under a state civil service system. There is no change to the established maximum accrual rate of 400 hours or payout of 240 hours upon separation of employment.
