The basic weekly salary to be paid to all other De-
partment Heads shall be the sum of $312.80. This
City recognizes, however, that Department Heads, by
reason of managerial responsibilities and duties which
transcend those of other employees, may sometimes be
required not only to perform services over continuous
periods of time considerably in excess of 40 hours in
any one week, but may sometimes be required or expected
to perform services on holidays, at odd times, on days
off, during vacation periods, or at various other and
unexpected times under emergency or unusual conditions.
Accordingly, and within reason, it shall be the policy
of this City that such demands for services by Department
Heads shall be recognized by the corporate authorities
of this City and that reasonable adjustments and con-
cessions therefor, both in money payments and as other-
wise may be fair and suitable in particularized instances,
shall from time to time be considered and made, provided,
however, that any such adjustments shall be in the sole
discretion of the corporate authorities of this City and,
further, that nothing herein contained shall be construed
as an inducement, promise or obligation running from the
employer to any Department Head.
In the interpretation of the paragraph immediately
preceding it is hereby declared that the spirit and
principles of all provisions of this City having to do)
with vacation pay, holiday pay, night time bonus and sick
pay, together with the concept of reasonable and periodic
time off from the demands of duty and employment, applies
to Department Heads.
Accordingly, in the implementation and application of
the provisions of the two paragraphs hereto preceding it
shall be the DUTY of each Department Head to make weekly
report of the circumstances of his employment (whether by
him deemed unusual or not) to the Chairman of the appro-
priate Committee of this City, charged with immediate
concern for and over the Department of his employment,
who is hereby authorized and directed to make such
immediate adjustments of salary and conditions of employ-
ment as may be consonant with the intention and spirit of
