Fiscal Effect: None. Under the proposed revisions to administrative policy, employees will continue to receive normal pay when they attend employment related administrative hearings and when they are subpoenaed to appear in their official capacity. Non-exempt employees, however, will be entitled to overtime pay at the expense of the individual issuing the subpoena if they are required to appear as witnesses on days when they are not on duty. The effect will only be to institute a procedure to assure that the party issuing the subpoena is charged for the actual cost to the City of making the employee available to testify. Conclusion Staff recommends adoption of the attached proposed Resolution establishing the administrative policy with regard to compensation of City employees while acting as witnesses under subpoena. In addition, Staff recommends amending the existing policy (4.05. 110) to delete references there to compensation issues having to do with subpoenas and leaving in place the policy regarding leave for appearance and employment related administrative hearings. These really are two separate issues that need separate policy statements. k_,iry manager
