The purpose of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority Personnel Regulations (the "Regulations"), issued by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (the "Authority"), is to establish guidelines, including policies and procedures relating to personnel matters including, but not limited to, the recruitment, employment, compensation, advancement, hiring, retention and termination of Authority employees pursuant to D. C. Code § 43 -1672 et seq., the "Water and Sewer Authority Establishment and Department of Public Works Reorganization Act of 1996, D. C. Law 11-111, April 18, 1996" (the "Enabling Act"). The Authority's personnel regulations and personnel policies and procedures are not a contract(s) of employment. Neither the Regulations nor the personnel policies and procedures guarantee any fixed terms and conditions of employment. Employment with the Authority is not guaranteed for any specific time and may be terminated by the Authority for any lawful reason. The Authority reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, modify, rescind, delete, or otherwise change the provisions of these Regulations and/or its personnel policies and procedures at any time, with or without notice, except as where required by law.
It is the Authority's policy to conduct all personnel actions without regard to race; color; religion; sex; national origin; age; disability; or any other legally protected class in accordance with federal and District of Columbia law.
The Board delegates to the General Manager the authority to develop, implement and enforce personnel policies and procedures. The General Manager may delegate this authority to subordinate managers.
The General Manager is responsible for recommending to the Board new personnel regulations or modifications of existing personnel regulations.
Provisions of a properly executed collective bargaining agreement will take precedence over any provision in this chapter which conflicts with or is contrary to contract provisions.
If any provision in this chapter is deemed invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the chapter shall be construed as though the provision does not appear. Any such finding by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity of any other provision, section, paragraph, or sentence of this chapter.
