UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES'COMPENSA TION PROGRAM
Policy No. 3
TRAINING AND CONFERENCES
A. Management Personnel
It is City of Cupertino policy that eligible persons under this Compensation Program shall be
reimbursed or receive advances in accordance with the schedules, terms and conditions as set
forth herein for attendance at conferences, meetings and training sessions as defined below
for each. It is the intent of this policy to encourage the continuing education and awareness
of said persons in the technical improvements and innovations in their fields of endeavor as
they apply to the City or to implement a City approved strategy for attracting and retaining
businesses in the City. One means of implementing this encouragement is through a formal
reimbursement and advance schedule for authorized attendance at such conferences,
meetings and training sessions.
B. Non-Management Personnel
When authorized by their supervisor, a non-management person may attend a conference,
meeting or training session subject to the stated terms and conditions included h~rein for each
with payment toward or reimbursement of certain expenses incurred as defined below for
each.
II DEFINITIONS
A. Conferences
A conference is an annual meeting of a work related organization the membership of which
may be held in the name of the City or the individual.
B. Local Area
The local area is defined to be within Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and within a 40-
mile distance from Cupertino when traveling to Alameda County.
C. Meetings
A "meeting" shall mean a convention, conference, seminar, workshop, meal, or like assembly
having to do with municipal government operations. An employee serving on a panel for
interviews of job applicants shall not come under this definition.

D. Training Session
A training session is any type of seminar or workshop the attendance at which is for the
purpose of obtaining information of a work related nature to benefit the City's operations or
to enhance the attendee's capabilities in the discharge of assigned duties and responsibilities.
III REIMBURSEMENT AND ADVANCE PAYMENT SCHEDULE
A . Intent
This schedule is written with the intent that the employee will make every effort to find the
lowest possible cost to the City for traveling on City business. For example, if paying for
parking at the airport is less expensive that paying for a taxi or airport shuttle, then the
employee should drive their car and park at the airport; or if renting a car is lower than taking
taxis at the out-of-town location, then a car should be rented; or air reservations should be
booked in advance to obtain discounted fares. The following procedures apply whether the
expense is being paid through a reimbursement or a direct advance .
B. Registration
Registration fees for authorized attendance at a meeting or training session will be paid by
the City.
C. Transportation
The City will pay transportation costs on the basis of the lowest cost intent stated in paragraph
A. Eligible transportation costs include airfare (with coach fare being the maximum), van or
taxi service to and from the attendee's home and airport, destination or airport parking
charges, taxi and shuttle services at the out-of-town location, trains, tolls, or rental cars. Use
of a personal automobile for City business shall be reimbursed or advanced at the rate per
mile in effect for such use, except in no case shall it exceed air coach fare if the vehicle is being
used for getting to the destination. Government or group rates offered by a provider of
transportation must be used when available.

a monthly mileage allowance.
D. Lodging
Hotel or lodging expenses of the employee resulting from the authorized event or activity
defined in this policy will be reimbursed or advanced if the lodging and event occurs outside
of the local area. Not covered will be lodging expenses related to person(s) who are
accompanying the City member, but who themselves are not on City business. In this
6
instance, for example, the difference between single and multiple occupancy rates for a room
will not be reimbursed.
Where the lodging is in connection with a conference or other organized educational activity,
City-paid lodging costs shall not exceed the maximum group rate published by the conference
or activity sponsor, providing that lodging at the group rate is available at the time of booking.
If the group rate at the conference hotel is not available, then the non-conference lodging
policy described in the next paragraph should be followed to find another comparable hotel.
Where lodging is necessary for an activity that is not related to a conference or other organized
educational activity, reimbursement or advances shall be limited to the actual cost of the room
at a group or government rate. In the event that a group or government rate is not available,
lodging rates that do not exceed the median price for lodging for that area and time period
listed on travel websites like www .hotels.com, www.expedia.com or an equivalent service
shall be eligible for reimbursement or advancement.

diem or actual cost basis. The per diem and actual cost rate shall follow the rules described
in the meals with no conference paragraph.
F. Other Expenses

actual costs consistent with the application of reasonable standards.
Other reasonable expenses related to business purposes shall be paid consistent with this
policy.
No payments shall be made unless, where available, receipts are kept and submitted for all
expenses incurred. When receipts are not available, qualifying expenditures shall be
reimbursed upon signing of an affidavit of expenditure.
7
No payment shall be made for any expenses incurred which are of a personal nature or not
within a standard of reasonableness for the situation as may be defined by the Finance
Department.

head, to a classification in a higher pay grade shall be compensated at the Step 1 rate of the higher

City. All requests for out of classification compensation must be approved by the Human
Resources Director. Persons approved to work out of class will continue to receive salary step
adjustments in their regular classification based upon satisfactory performance. The out of class
salary step will be adjusted accordingly in accordance to the policy set forth herein when the
employee's salary in the permanent classification is adjusted.
Work in Dual Classifications -The City Manager may, in his or her sole discretion, grant a pay
differential up to five percent (5%) above the higher base salary to an employee assigned by the
City Manager to perform all of the duties of another position in addition to the employee's regular
duties, provided that a differential of dual assignments under this provision shall only be paid
where the additional assignment is to a position equivalent to the level of the employee's regular
position in a different department or division than the employee's regular classification, the
duration of the additional assignment is for a period of one or more months, and the published
base salary for the equivalent level position is the same or lower than the published salary for the
employee's current classification such that the employee does not quality for working out of class
pay.
