SUBJ : Severance Pay Procedure and Enabling Council Resolution
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes , City of Saint Paul Ordinance
No. 15006 and the provisions of applicable labor contracts ,
we annually submit a Resolution to the City Council to pro-
vide for payment of severance pay to persons who have separated
from City employment. In the past, such a Resolution would
provide for the severance payment in five annual (deferred)
installments in the amount for which the employee qualified.
One of the reasons for such installment payments was that the
City did not have the resources to fully fund the total payment
for severance pay.
This year we do have an appropriation which is adequate to
provide for total payment of severance pay and for that reason,
did prepare a Council Resolution to permit such action rather
than the previously used installment plan. However, after
analysis and discussion, we have determined that the person
who has been separated from City employment should have the
option to select either the installment plan or the total pay-
ment plan for distribution of severance pay. In this way, the
separated employee can determine which plan is most appropriate
for his or her particular economic circumstances .
Attached is a Council Resolution which will permit the payment
of severance pay by either the installment (deferred) payment
plan or total payment plan, at the option of each separated
employee. I recommend that you approve this Resolution for
submission to Council .
