Payroll FAQ’s
How is OVERTIME calculated?On a weekly basis (Sunday-Saturday), regular hours worked totaling more than 40 hours will be paid at time and a half (as Overtime).
Deadlines and State Law?• Terminated employees must be paid within seven (7) working days of their last day worked.• W-2’s must be mailed by the employer by January 31st after the previous calendar year worked.
W-4 Changes?W-4 changes must be submitted to payroll by the Wednesday preceding the payroll week, to affect that paycheck. Later submittals will affect the future payroll period.Deliberately and knowingly making false claims on your W-4 in an attempt to reduce proper tax withholding can result in an IRS fine of $500, a criminal fine (upon conviction) of $1,000 or up to a year imprisonment, or both. The IRS may also send a “lock-in” letter, which dictates the only deductions the employee is allowed to take.

City Mission Statement
The mission of the City of Prescott is to provide
SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE to create a
FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE CITY and to serve
as the LEADER OF THE REGION
Customer ServiceWho is a Customer?
• Citizens• Visitors• Vendors• Property Owners• Other Employees• Other Agency
Employees
A customer is any individual who receives service from the City. The customer may be a co-worker, a visitor, a person at the counter, on the phone or in the parking lot. Customers are not only individuals who receive City services from a department, but may need assistance locating the correct department or individual that can provide the desired service.
What is Customer Service?Customer service is defined as the ability to provide for customers' wants and needs. It is all about people. Start thinking of your customers as individuals not as an anonymous interruption of your business. The customer is your business, in addition to the products or services that we deliver. Remember the tips listed below. No runaround!
RespectListen If you don’t know – find out!Repeat their concerns (show you understand)
Be nice Follow through!Never say “It’s Not My Job”.
Core Beliefs
To create a culture of action and accountability, our core beliefs are used to guide behaviors and actions as defined in specific performance standards. It is how we conduct City business.
Performance Standards• Acting with integrity• Working as a team• Having personal commitment and loyalty• Solving problems• Taking pride in excellent results• High level of productivity• Being nice
Political Activity - See City Clerk for rules on participation
Gifts and Gratuities• Best Rule of Thumb Keep it under $20.00!
– Check with your department to see if they are more stringent than City policy
• Conflict of Interest, Disclosure, & Related Party Transactions– See City Clerk or City Attorney for specifics
Policies to Remember
Personal Use of City Equipment• Use should be infrequent in nature and of short duration• Employee responsible for personal telephone, copy and fax charges• Computers – Remember that all records on a City computer, phone or other
electronic device can be made public.
“Delete” means nothing!Rule of thumb - “Do you
want to see it in the paper?”
Dress Code• Although there is no official citywide dress code, some
departments do have dress regulations. You are expected to wear professional clothing appropriate to your job and work site. Your dress and appearance should be neat, clean, in good taste, and not constitute a safety hazard.
• You may be required to wear uniforms in the performance of your duties. These uniforms are to be worn during regular working hours and may be worn to and from work, but they are not to be worn at other times. The City either provides the uniforms or an allowance for uniforms, and it is your responsibility to properly care for them.
Harassment Policy
Anti Harassment & Discrimination PolicyAll employees are to be treated with respect and dignity. Sexual harassment or harassment for any reason by another employee or supervisor will not be tolerated under any circumstances and can lead to severe disciplinary action. Any incident of harassment needs to be reported to the Human Resources Department.
• Derogatory comments to or about an individual based upon their race, national origin, religious beliefs, sex, or age – also protected by Title VII
• Deliberate exclusion of employees from office activities in which all others are included
• Derogatory comments to or about an individual based upon a disability
Sexual Harassment
Sexual Harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The City of Prescott prohibits sexual harassment by all employees at all levels. This policy applies to all officers, employees, temporary employees and volunteers of the City of Prescott.

Where Do I Go?It is OKAY to circumvent
chain of command

Keep a log of information.
Investigation of complaint:The Human Resources Director may delegate to another department such as Police or Legal to investigate the complaint, and shall determine a course of action, if any, based upon the investigator’s report. The accused employee shall be warned not to retaliate in any way against the accuser or witnesses in the investigation.
Workplace Violence The City defines workplace violence as any act of violence against an employee or member of the public, threats to inflict physical, emotional or psychological harm, damage to property, or any intentional behavior that would cause a reasonable person to feel threatened with physical, emotional or psychological harm.
The City supports the concept of a safe work environment and the prevention of workplace violence. Prevention efforts include, but are not limited to, informing employees of this policy, training employees regarding the dangers of workplace violence, the proper handling of emergency situations, and providing a reporting procedure to address incidents of violence without fear of reprisal.
Drug Free Workplace Policy
Pursuant to the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited during work, on work assignments, or on City premises at any time.
• Employees shall not report to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Employees shall not possess, sell, or provide drugs or alcohol to anyone else while on duty or “on-call”;

Closing thought….If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or
Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great
street sweeper who did his job well.~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
