AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SEWARD CITY CODE, TITLE 3,
PERSONNEL, CHAPTER 3.55 SEPARATIONS, ALLOWING FOR MORE
FLEXmILITY REGARDING EMPLOYEE RESIGNA TIONS AND REHIRES
WHEREAS, our current Seward City Code is written in such a way that any employee who
resigns without at least fourteen days notice is permanently ineligible for rehire regardless ofall other
factors relating to their employment; and
WHEREAS, we do not believe it is prudent to permanently declare an individual ineligible
for rehire with the City; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment allows flexibility by making resignation without a 14
day notice a factor in consideration for future employment with the City; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The following sections of Seward City Code, Chapter 3.55.010, Resignations, are
hereby amended as follows:
Chapter 3.55
Separations
3.55.010 Resignations.
A. To resign in good standing, an employee who desires to terminate employment shall
give at least fourteen calendar days written notice to his immediate supervisor. The period of notice
may be reduced or waived upon recommendation of the department head and approval of the city
manager for extenuating circumstances; i.e., Family Medical leave, change of residence by unexpected
military orders of the employee or spouse, etc. A notice of resignation shall become part of the
personnel file.
B. An employee may withdraw a resignation only under the following conditions:
1. the withdrawal is submitted to the department head before the effective date
stated in the notice of resignation;
2. the position has not been filled; and
3. the withdrawal is accepted in writing by the department head with approval
