Director of Administrative Services
Re: Employee Handbook Update
I am pleased to report that we have finished the employee handbook consolidation
project that we have been working on.
As you know, this has been an effort to bring together into one handbook our Personnel
Policy Manual, Harassment Policy, Information Technology Policy, Military Leave Policy,
Employee ID Policy, Safety Manual, Return to Work Policy and Travel Policy so it will be
easier for our employees to reference.
In addition to revisions made to clarify our business practices, the majority of our time
was focused on the updates made to the harassment section and by adding information
in regard to laws enacted or updated since the last policies were put in place such as;
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and
the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
It is our intent to continue to update these and our other policies on a more regular
basis in the future so as to keep our employees better informed of the information they
need to operate efficiently and effectively here with the City of Oshkosh.
Please let me know if you or any of the Council Members have any questions and thank
you for your support and assistance with this process.
Attachment: Employee Handbook
