The Administrative Policies and <br />Procedure Manual (APPM) is a policy manual available to you through your supervisor which <br />contains more detailed information.

The City reserves the right to change any of our policies, guidelines, and benefits, <br />including those discussed here, without prior notice to or consultation with employees. Any <br />changes in policies or procedures must be in writing and approved by the City Manager or <br />designee. <br />*If you are a temporary employee, ask your supervisor for a copy of the Temporary Employee <br />Handbook. <br />Labor Agreements Take Precedence <br />The City recognizes its obligation under law to negotiate in good faith with labor organizations <br />representing some City employees. Collective bargaining agreements exist for police, <br />fire/emergency medical, general service, and Hult Center stage employees. Police employees are <br />represented by the Eugene Police Employees' Association (EPEA); fire and emergency medical <br />employees are represented by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF); general service <br />employees are represented by the American Federation of State, County, Municipal Employees <br />(AFSCME); stage employees are represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage <br />Employees (IATSE). If information in this handbook conflicts with any City labor agreement <br />which applies to you, the labor contract takes precedence. <br />Page 1-February 2004 <br />
