Introduction

This handbook serves as an overview of the major employee benefits, services and employment policies of the City. You are responsible for becoming familiar with its contents so that you will have a basic understanding of Fullerton's programs and policies.

Many departments have additional policies and procedures which are necessary for their internal operations. It is also your responsibility to become familiar with those for your department.

Additionally, sometimes a program or benefit applies to only one employee group and is therefore not discussed here.

This handbook is based upon federal and state law, City Council ordinances or resolutions, administrative policies, or agreements. Many of the items summarized are covered in greater detail in your bargaining unit’s Memorandum of Agreement (MOA); this does not amend or replace them. Alternately, the City reserves the right to amend, supplement or rescind any provisions of this handbook.

You will learn about any important changes through the Intranet, bulletin boards, email or by administrative memorandum.

Take the time to familiarize yourself with this Employee Handbook. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for improving the handbook please contact Human Resources or discuss with your supervisor. The Human Resources Department can be reached by phone at (714) 738-6361 or by email at humanresources@cityoffullerton.com.
