Adopted Resolution 3752

Resolution No. 3752

A RESOLUTION of the Port of Seattle Commission amending the policy
directive  for  salaries  and  benefits  for  employees  not
covered by a collective bargaining agreement established
by Resolution No. 3739 and providing an effective date for
all amendments of January 1, 2019.

WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle Commission has authority pursuant to RCW 53.08.170 to
create and fill  positions, fix wages, salaries, and  establish  other benefits of employment
including retirement, insurance and similar benefits; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Port of Seattle Commission as follows:

SECTION 1. The policy directive established by Resolution No. 3739 adopted November 28,
2017, establishing jobs, pay grades, pay ranges, and pay practices for employees not covered by
a collective bargaining agreement and authorizing legally required and other benefits,is hereby
amended as follows:

In Section 2, Definitions, the definition of "probationary period" is amended to read as follows:
"Probationary period" means an extension of the hiring process, the period of time from the
day a newly hired or rehired employee begins work at the Port of Seattle through the end of
the sixth month of employment.

In Section 2, Definitions, the definition of "at-will" is amended to read as follows:  "At-will"
means a designation given to some non-represented jobs or positions at the Port where the
employment relationship may be terminated by the Port or employee at any time and for any
or no reason. Employees hired as at-will are not subject to the Port's progressive discipline
process. Jobs designated as at-will are noted with an asterisk in Exhibit A of this policy directive.
When a job opening is posted for an at-will position, the at-will designation will be identified in
the posted notice. An offer of employment made to a current employee or external candidate
for an at-will position will state that the position is at-will and exempt from any progressive
discipline policy.  Employees hired, or appointed, into at-will jobs prior to January 1, 2014, are
grandfathered as 'for cause' employees. However, any employee hired prior to January 1, 2014,
who is transferred or promoted into an at-will position is no longer subject to the termination
"for cause" standard and will be exempt from any progressive discipline policy.

Section 5.1(A)(2), Public Affairs Senior Director, is amended to delete all occurrences of "Public
Affairs" and insert instead: External Relations.

Audit  Committee  is  charged  with  making  recommendations to the  Commission  on  the
appointment, replacement, or dismissal of the Internal Audit Director; provides input to the
Executive  Director on the  Internal Audit Director's performance evaluation; oversees the
Internal Audit Director's plans and activities; and reviews with the Internal Audit Director the
staffing  and  organizational  structure  of  the  internal  audit  function.  The  internal  audit
department staff will report to the Internal Audit Director.
